If the Worlds statements are correct,
why should 1t manifest such an interest in
the bill9 If they do not enable US to built
ships for foreign trade we shall be no worse
off than at present. But the paper soon
shows its animus, for, having drawn the
conclusions it desires Of its own manufac-
tured facts, it swings in with II lusty cry
for Stree trade in ships" as the one panacea
for our existing ills. 'Repeal the law
g which forbids our citizens to purchase for
"elgn built ships" it cries, and all will be
well.
Here, then, we have the keynote of the
policy. The World is mouth-piece Of
the New York importers, body OF men,
the majority Of whom are not American cit
liens, and all of whom are closely allied to
the interests of English manufacturers and
ship owners. The interests they represent
have, by open piracy, driven our commerce
from the seas, and would,if they could, keep
it from them forever. Finding intelligent
and effective measures for its restoration
about to be taken, they attempt TO defeat them
by grossly exaggerating the difficulties to be
overcome and suggest that five uiU have
ships OF our own, they will build them for
us cheaper than we can build them ourselves,
which simply means that ships nominally
owned by some American but built and
really owned by his English partners, will
consent TO sail under the American flag, and
enjoy any subsidies an American Congress
may grant to build up our wasted commerce
Then indeed 'swould our flag appear agar

THE ACTIVITY among the ship.buildcrs Of
the Clyde is reported TO be greater than
heretofore, at this time of year Several
vessels are ordered, especially for the Sucz
Canal trade. List year, these builders con
structed 200 ships, and to show how com
completely the use OF wood has declined,
both for sailing and steam vessels, only l6
of the 200 were wooden, and they were all
of small size, averaging about 200 tons each
And, TO speak further on this point, a, or
three-eighths of the whole number, were
iron sailing vessels--not steamers.
These facts should stimulate the efforts Of
our American iron-ship- buidcrs, to renewed
activity, such as, under the favorable legls-
laton of Congress, will develop operations
on the Delaware, equal to those of the
Clyde, employ the workmen now being dis
charged from the public navy-yards, as well
as thousands more, and place upon the
ocean American ships that can challenge the
competition Of any artisans in the world,
and claim the commerce of all nations.
There is, already, the foundation laid fol
this great work, and we now need only the
protection Of our National laws, giving Il:
facilities at least approaching those of Great
Britain. That done, such grand results a:
we havs indicated, may be attained, and W.

one OF his best efforts, and the very ablcst
on that side of the question made during the

into it all the more important facts and fig
ures that go TO maintain his conclusions.
Much Of his argument was directed against
the present system Of internal taxes, which
he denounced as ga bonus to foreign COM
which declaration most tax payers will coin

Many Indian traditions assert that the
sacred birthplace Of the primal ancestors Of
all the red men who now inhabit the earth,
was at Red Pipestone Quarry about hun
dred miles northward from Yankton the
capital of Dakota. The wandering Sioux OF
the plains held that the Great Spirit first
formed man from peice OF this pipestone.
Other tribes, belived that the "great freshet
Uhe flood) left alive but one person virgin.
Upon the sacred quarry she was delivered OF
twins whose father was war eagle, ard
thus the earth was peopled. Hence it is
perhaps that the Indian Symbol Of peace is
the Pipestone Calumet-the flesh of their
