The Portland Press has a timely word
for our shipbuilding interests, in the fol-
lowing:
The demand for iron ships ia Great Brit
ain. accompanied by a revival of commerce
has led TO some results worthy of notice
Pig iron has raised 81 TO $40 per ton, aud
rails and sheet iron have advanced SIS TO
$50 per ton. The wages of the iron work
ers have risen ten per cent. while their
hours for work have come down from ten
TO nine. These changes it is noticed. are
equivalent TO a rise OF 20 per cent in the
cost of labor. In consequence of these
important changes, we learn from the En-
glish reports that the cost of const ructing
an improved propeller has risen within a
year from sl35 to sl55 a ton. and is still
rising. The Clyde builders have been
compelled TO open mines in Spain and
Norway. These facts 60 far to reduce the
discrimination against builders In the Uni
ted States. and il Congress would remit
the duties on shipbulding materials and
other taxes now imposed. the shipbuilder,
would have an opportunity to carry on
their business on a more extended scale
than ever.

The people in all directions who complain
OF drouth may well favor every effort to
prese the forests. 1t might not be I'M
wise to adopt here even the Japanese law,
that whoever destroys tree shall plant
one. At any rate, hardly any wiser law
exists on the statute book of some of the
Western States than that which exempts
forest land from taxation; or that in one Of
them (kansas) which gives a bounty of 81
per acre each year for term of t,centy-fre
years, to any one who will plant forest
trees. provided the trees shall be culti-
waited and growing three years before the
bounty begins.
