LONDON, Feb. Tho excitement over the Alabama
claims continues in the newspapers; but the journals
which oppose them outright have become suddenly
silent. The excitement, which furnishes convenient
diversion from awkward home topics is certainly fos-
tered by the Government; and any embarrassment 1t

In foreign bottoms, and while this state of
aua,rs EXISTS we cannot control our due
share OF the commerce Of the world.
The cost of building iron vessels. the
only ones that can compete with foreign
ships IN the carrying trade. is SO much
greater in the United States than la foreign
countries that. without some assistance
from the Government, they caunot be sue
cessfully built here. There will be sever
al propositions laid before Congress In the
course of the present session looking to a
remedy for this evil. Even if it should be
at some cost to the national Treasury, |
hope such encouragement will be given As
will secure American shipping on the high
seas and American ship-building at home.
MANUFACTUREs-THEY MUST RE rNcorR-
ACID.
Every citizen will recognize the import
siIce OF the suggestions made in reference
TO our manufactures. The workinymen of
America can find no truer friend nor more
earnest advocate:
Our manufactures are increasing with
wonderful rapidly under the encourage
ment which they now receive. With the
improvements in machinery already Ell
fected. and still increasing. causing ma
chinery 10 take the place of skilled ahur
10 a large eNteI.t, our imports of many ar
ticles must tall oil Largely within few
wears. Fortunately. too. manufactures
are not confined to a few localities a for
merly, and it is To be hoped will become
more and more difiused. making the inter-
est in them equal in all sections. They
give employment and support To hundreds
OF thousands OF people at home. and retain
with us the means which otherwise would
be shipped abroad. The extension OF rail-
roads IN Europe and the East is bringing
into competition with u> agricultural pro-
ducts of other countries. Seli-iuterest. il
not self-pre>eryation. therefore. dictates
caution against disturbing any industrial
Interest OF the country.

Salt Duty.

In the debate ia the House OF Reprc~en-

when Mr.. Hale made the following re-.

Indeed. MIR. Chairman. We can reduce
the tax to-day better than we could one
year ago. We have since that time paid

The pork-packers in the West who use
