THE EFFECT OF THE NEW LIQUOR LAWS.

THE EFFECT OF THE NEW LIQUOR LAWS.
The Riverside Echo anticipates the happi-
est results from the temperance legislation OF
last session. 1t says:
We warn the rumsellers now, in Portland
and in the county, to set their houses in or
der, for the power of the law with all its ter.
rors will come down upon them, in day and
an hour in which they look not for it, and
there shall be no escape for them. And we
shall again have the pleasure of seeing our
streets free from all signs of the demoralizing,
brutalizing traffic in strong drinks We shall
again have the pleasure of publishing the glo-
rious facts-"House of Correction empty;"
"Almshouse nearly empty "Jail empty,
except for few rumsellers there, expiating
their crimes - ''no.m more begging for cold Wet
uals'' from door to door; ''many poor drunk
ards reformed because the temptation to drink
is put out of the way;'' and ''multitudes of
wives and children happy, who were before
most miserable;'' wages are now spent for
the necessaries and comforts of life, not going
any more into the tills of the rumsellers
Who objects to such change? Let him
speak and give us the ground of his objec-
tion

NATIONAL BANKS DEFICIENT of the
4o National Banks in Boston 10 are shown to
be deficient in their reserves by their reports of
February 18th last, Eight of these were de-
ticient less than $4,000 None of them are
very largely below the standard average. The
reserve of the entire number of banks is con-
siderably above the required amount. Of the
New York Banks "a are deficient in their re-
serve according to the same report. Four are
less than 1000 and none of them large The
aggregate of the whole as in Boston is consider
able above what the law requires.

Shipbuilding and Foreign Sims.


Mr.. EDIToR:-That shipbuilding in the Unit
ed States has become an Improbable business
is an undeniable fact. That we cannot compete
with foreign nations in building ships at the
same cost is beyond doubt. To find out the
cause and apply the remedy is the interest of
the whole community. Many reasons have
been given for this decline in our shipbuilding
trade, and many remedies proposed. The Ma
tional Board of Trade evadng the solution of
so important question, has memorialized Con-
gress for permission to purchase foreign ships
instead of, as would seem to be their duty, en-
deavoring to find profitable basis upon which
We can start the building of ships for ourselves.
Such memorial from the National Board of
Trade seems to be an acknowledgment of their
inability to cope with the question, and all aban-
donment OF any attempt to afford relief to SO
important an interest as shipbuilding is to this
State and country at large. And although the
purchase of foreign ships for our carving trade
might afford temporary relief, such a measure
would bring disadvantages with it that would
more than equalize any benefit, and would GER
tainly have the effect of postponing a solution
OF the question and putting off to a future day
the consideration OF matter which, in the in
terest of the whole country, should have imme-
diate attention. Nor would the relief that
could be afforded by Congress by allowing a
drawback on foreign material be sufficient to
make Sood the difference in the cost OF con-
struction. Shipbuilders generally agree that
the largest item in the cost Of building a ship
is the labor, and it is the high cost Of labor
more than material that renders us unable to
compete successfully with foreign nations who
have the advantage of abundant and cheap la
Dor. 1t would seem then that there should not
only be remission of duties ON foreign material
used for shipbuilding, but also that judicious
reduction of the tariff be made in order to
cheaper the cost of living, and encouragement
given to skilled workmen to settle among us
and SO lessen the cost of labor that we can sue
cessfully compete with foreign shipbuiders.
We should never forget. while the broad Allan
tic washes our shores, that equality on the sea
is essential to the life, hanor and prosperity of
the whole nation, and that without a marine
built and equipped by ourselves, the American
Eagle is but bird with clipped wings, and we
should not rest until our ships are seen on every
sea ang our flag floating in every cline.
England's commercial prosperity and great
wealth has been built up and maintained by her
merchant navy, and it is well for us that we
should be alive to the Importance of this ship.
building question and not neglect what is es-
sential to the maintenance of our national pro-
gress and the greatest source of national growth
and prosperity. MEMO

Biennial Sessions.

EAST HARDwIcK, VI, March 4, 1872.
Mr.. EDrToR,-I learn from the PRESS that
the Legislature of Maine has adjourned. Now.
Vermonters have been relieved from the curse
of foolish legislation for one year, and the peo-
pie like it. You perhaps are aware that from
1870 we are to have biennial sessions. The peo-
pie thought that we had too much legislation,
and rose up in their might and so amended the
State constitution, and we hear of no one who
has as yet suffered thereby, excepting the peo-
pie living at the capital. They think they are
misused that they may not have an opportuni-
ty to fleece the legislature each year. B.

The PREss recognizes in paragraph about
Mr. Hamlin's introduction of the statuary bill,
based on dispatches before the reception of the
Globe, and when it was naturally to be supposed
that he knew the character of the bill he was
offering, malicious duplicity' and Ingenious
malignity." As that paper grammatically re-
marked yesterday, speaking Of the Presidents
recognition of one of two Louisiana factions,
Had ought to have recognized neither I'D
yertiser. .t...ts t
1t is thus that lying leads to forgery. The
Adcertiser having, without any excuse or
shadow of justification, repeatedly slandered
and villified the senior Senator from this
State-a gentleman against whose integrity,
patriotism and spotless private character the
bitterest personal foe has never dared to utter
word-deliberately resorts to pure fabrica-
ton on being rebuked for its falsehood. We
will pay $1,000 to-day to any person who will
produce copy of the PRESS in which the
sentence that the Advertiser pretends to
quote in the above labored but strikingly in
coherent paragraph, occurs.

An oracular Wisconsin hen is reported to
have uttered an inspired lay in the shape of an
egg bearing distinctly lettered inscription pro-
phetic of immediate war with England The
form of the prediction is very appropriate to a
maritime conflict, where the forces of the re-
specctive combatants would be most of the time
under matches.

The virulent attack of the Argus on members
of the Board of Trade is not relished by that
body. We cannot guess who it is that it calls
names for the purpose of discrediting state
ments that appear in its own columns We
call attention to the report of the Board of
Trade meeting published in the Argus as suf-
tcient Justification for imputng to Mr.. Shurt-
lef1the opinions which his friends now disclaim
in his behalf. All we ask is that the extracts
from the PRESS and Argus, which appear else
where in juxtapostion may be carefully read.

CAN CAsE.-Bismarck is clearly on our side
if the following report of his remarks to
friend have any foundation:
There is no need for you to be so greatly
alarmed on that account l have necessarily
been obliged to devote much attention to the
subject, and have no hesitation in saying now
that England is again clearly in the wrong as
it was during the American war, from which
these claims Of the United States have arisen.
1t seems to me all nations have an interest in
putting down such practices as those for which
the United States demand an indemnity. Eight
or ten years ago made no secret of my con-
viction that the English Government would
eventually have to pay very dearly for its sin
gular conduct during the American war, and, 1
believe, repeatedly communicated my views
on the subject to Mr.. Wright, the American
Minister, as well as to the representative of the
English Government. And when read the
text of the treaty of Washington, l thought
that England would have to pay a very heavy
bill, but that, nevertheless, she would be thank
full to extricate herself even at such a price
from an exceedingly, not to say dangerous, pre-
dicament.
