HARD TO ANSWER.

Under above caption the Enquirer of Oct.
goth, has an article upon "the almost total
destruction of the shipping business" for
which il attempts to blame the present adj
ministration and its policy.
Both premises and conclusions set forth
in the article, are lame and impotent, but
we give them cursory review, and pre-
sent such official statistics as effectually de-
molish the premises, and refute the conclu-
sions.
The Enquirer is more faithful than wise
in its blind following of the New York
World, when it recalls to mind one Of
the legacies its worshipped Confederacy
bequeathed to us. 1t is not nice for its ar
gument or wise to admit, as it is compelled
to do, that in 1861 the registered and en-
rolled tonnage of the United States reached
its acme--5, $50 1912 tons, an increase of
! ,767,3 1873 tons over the year 1851, when it
stood 3,772 ,439 tons.
If the party for which the Enquire speaks,
think increased tonnage SO essential to
national prosperity, was not the exhibit of
1SG0-6l satisfactory? and could not they
rest contcnted with such rapid increase +?
And, when they had deranged commerce
by their wicked rebellion, if tonnage was
the apple of their eye, why did they send
pirates on the high seas, not alone to cap
ture and appropriate, but to bbp and de-
st'oyit?
10 verify our assertion, that the reduc-
ton in amount of our sea-going tonnage is
the work of rebellion, we quote from the
official statement of United States vessels
sold TO foreigners;
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1871-10-24

these certificates, and will then put through
the Legislature, with the approval of the
Governor, another funding bill, which will
authorize the issuing of bonds for these
certificates, principal and accumulated i'm
terest; and the coupons on those bonds
loj4m how be made receivable for tares.
The work has already been commenced.
brokers and bondholders in the secret, are
already buying up these certificates at
about twenty cents ON the dollar bad as
is the present condition of the people, the
the plans of these merccnaries contemplate
an even greater calamity to be inflicted up
on them. Dsgraced as the Commonwealth
already has been by these Democratic lead
ers, they propose to sink her still lower,
and rob her still further.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1871-10-24

or deduce conclusions from them, showing
why ocean steam navigation has not been
more successfully conducted by Americans.
Such examples and deductions would
satisfy even the Enquirer.
We quote as follows from that paper,
and ask its particular attention to the point
we make thereupon:
Now here is great leak somewhere. At the
former date we were abreast of Great Britain,
and were steadily gaining ON her f...
The ocean steamship business seems TO have
disappeared entirely from our ship yards. There
are thirteen lines of steamships running from
New York TO foreign parts, comprising one hun
dfed and twenty-one ships. Not one Of these
ships sails under he American fdg. They are
al oioned IN Great Britain, Ia France, or ia Ger
Baday
In the ocean steamship business, the
United States pursues that policy of free
trade which is the Democratic hobby of the
New York World and the Richmond En-
quirer. Our capitalists, ship builders, en-
gineers, and sailors are placed in unprotec-
ted competition with European capitalists,
who WELD vast accumulation of wealth
and European labor, which, whether en-
ploycd in the ship yard, machine shop or
afoat, is worse paid, worse fed and worse
housed than similar labor in the United
States. We do not suggest that this free
competition should be changed because if
tonnage dues were imposed upon foreign
vessels entering our ports, retaliatory inn
position of like dues would promptly be en-
forced by foreign countries against our YES
sells entering their ports; and while we
gained nothing for our shipping interest ex-
cept increasing the proportion of our ton
mage employed in the Atlantic trade, the
free flow of commerce to and from our
ports, would be interfered with; and the
struggle between this and other maritime
nations would become one of animosity, in
stead of rivalry.
To devise effective means to stimulate
our Shipping interest, and aid it to recover
from the injury inflicted upon it by the re-
bellion, has been, and is, the constant care
Of the administration; but they will never
commit the supreme folly of sacrificing our
growing, prospecting industrial interests
HtS tJt " cNt DtutCf tuO tctuttN - W
late the shipping interest alone.
In another column we copy from the pro-
ceedings of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce in Great Britain, at their meet
ing last month, TO show that country
neglccts neither means nor opportunity to
increase the efficiency of her merchant navy,
and open up new waters for its sails to
whten. In conclusion, while we do not
find it hard to answer the Enquaer's ques-
tious as to the causes why our merchant
tonnage has decreased since 1860, we find
the question-what should be done to slim
ulate increase is too complex to be even
examined in brief newspaper article but
any suggestions for relief which our con-
temporary may offer Short of suicide, its
present and only oposition,) will be care
fully considered, and if approved, adopted
as our own with due acknowledgment.

PURCHASE YOUR FRUIT TREES NOW.

PURCHASE YOUR FRUIT TREES NOW
The fall has many advantages over the
spring for the purchase and setting of fruit
trees. You can generally get them out of
the ground in better condition, and trans
port them with less risk Of harm. The nur-
series are less crowded with customers, a
better selection can be made, and if the
trees are to be moved far, they are likely
to receive more careful packing.
The soil is generally dry and warm in
autumn, and can more easily be well pre-
pared. There is always less press Of work,
and the trees will be more likely to get the
careful setting essential to healthy growth.
During the winter the broken roots heal,
the earth packs firmly around them, and
the tree is ready to start with the first
dawn of spring. With pears and peaches
the advantage Of fall setting is very deci-
sive, amounting often to half seasons
growth.
DON'T delay a day in ordering your
trees. Buy them Of home nurseries IN
preference TO agents as,cays, and adeise
aeiM yoir narsergsnan as to cayiaiss. q
We urge everybody to set few trees.
They can be bought very cheap now.
We are advertising several excellent nur-
series, whose proprietors are especially
familiar with varieties adapted to Vir-
ginia. SCI especially, plenty of 'cister
apples. We are more deficient in winter
fruit than any other.
Ask your nurserymcn for the longest
keepers. The cost Of good apple tree is
only ten to twenty cents, but in half a
dozen years if well set and cared for, it is
worth as many dollars, and it will pay In
terest and grow more valuable every year.
What other property is so safe and sure to
give paying returns
Encourage your children to set trees, and
teach them how to cure for them. We
shall, during the coming year, give full in-
structions as TO varieties and treatment,
including all that is known to our best
growers.
We want to see good fruits abundant for
home use, and large source Of income TO
the State. Whoever owns even village
lot, should set trees and vines as a sacred
duty, and thus secure health and beauty
and comfort in the home. We think the
love of trees, and the interest one takes in
cutiyating them, the best possible evidence
of real patriotism. People who set trees
give the best possible evidence that they
mean to stay IN the country, and are willing
to do something to improve it permanently.
Ask every candidate for office how many
trees he is growing, and how many he in
tends to set the coming season on his land.
If he don't take interest in trees
and vines be careful, no matter which party
he belongs to.
If you buy trees, and cannot set them
at once, bury half way up the stocks, in
dry, warm place, where no rabbits or cat
tie can get at them. Tread the ground
firmly around the stocks. Then you have
them ready early in the spring. Don't put
off this most important, delightful, and re-
munerative branch of gardening and farm
ing one day longer. 1t will increase the
comforts Of your home, and the value of
your lands, and make an Eden of beauty
out of the desert waste.

Decrease of whaling tonnage, consequent
upon the discovery and utilization of petro-
leum, 500 tors.
Th1d-As entire revolution has taken
place in our Atlantic trade, as in that of
the Pacific. Steam is superseding sail even
for heavy freight, and the profits of passen-
ger transport (Which is restricted almost
entirely to steam conveyance, for none
choose to be thirty and perhaps fifty days
on voyage by sail, when they can make
the trip at little extra expense in fourteen
days by steam,) enables these steamers to
carry freights almost as cheaply as sailing
vessels while the more rapid transit, inn
mediate discharge upon arrival, and greater
exemption from damage by sea perils, in
eyitably attract all fine freight to steamers.
Say what we may in praise of the supe-
riority Of the United States over all crea-
ton, we are compelled to admit that in
ocean steam navigation we have compare
lively failed. The disastrous career and
end of the Wanted Collins line of steamers,
is the most prominent failure, but not the
only one.
We have not space to give other examples,

"They talk to us about Rebel Rams ~
sneers the Enquirer; and we point to
above official figures to show that paper,
they knoo aohat they are talking about, and
that there is great leak somewhere
about which that paper processes such anx-
iety.
The prime cause of decline in United
States registered tonnage was the rebellion,
which the enquirer still excuses if it does
not boldly defend but other causes have
interviewed to prevent that recovery of tom
mage capacity, which otherwise would have
been as certain as it now is, even according
to the Enqa1ey's figures) that the value of
our imports and exports has increased.
Three circumstances have exercised a pow
erftl influence, especially upon the class of
vessels formerly constructed by Webb, the
eminent ship builder, who had an inter-
view with the President few days ago in
relation to the deeadence in the United
States ocean tonnage.
Fost-The producing capacity Of Califor-
MIA and other of the Pacific States has
rapidly increased, and home manufac-
lures are superseding those sent from
Atlantic States. The completion of the
Pacific railroad has entirely changed the
route Of travel to the Pacific coast. aud
passenger trade by the lsthmus, is utterly
gone from ship owners. Steam, between
San Francisco, and China and Japan. is
fast diyerting valuable trade, which gave
employment to our finest clipper ships,
and these notbe profitably sailed as car
riers of ordinary dead weight freights.
Second-The discovery of petroleum has
been blow to our whaling fleet, far more
fatal than the scarcity of whales, which
had for years previous made that business
less profitable. To show this decline in
the tonnage of our whaling fleet, we give
the official report of registered tonnage
in the whale fishery:
