We spoke yesterday Of the necessity
there is for Republican leaders to speedily
devise and act upon some comprehensive
scheme of craftsmanship whereby the
people might be enabled to enter upon a
new career Of prosperity and progress. No
one measure, no matter how desirable or
valuable might be its results, can accom-
plish all that is needed or half that is
within the power Of wise and brave
craftsmanship. By some means we must
improve our finances. BY some plan we
must be able to at least see the beginning
of transportation reform. There must be
lying somewhere in the brain of our
statesmen the outlines of a measure by
which the great agricultural and mining in
tercsts of the country can be greatly pro-
NOTED, and this without the exercise of
any doubtful power whatever. We must
have the Inauguration of system of inter
nal improvements. The rehabilitation of
American shipping is more than desirable;
it is q national necessity. Measures en-
bracing all these matters ought to be soon
matured and passed.
In this article we propose to discuss the
necessity of a resurrection of American
shipping, years ago the source of so much
national wealth, now in deplorable decay
with Iamentable results injuriously affect
ing every citizen of the republic.
We call the attention of Republican lead
ers to the facts showing the decadence of
American shipping. The following table
shows the amount of American and of for
eign tonnage entered at ports of the United
States for the years named:

THE SOUTHERN QUESTION.

The Southern questionable negro question, If
you will-looms up in spite Of all efforts to the
contrary, as the troublesome problem in our poll
tics. How we have shuned it! How we have tried
to ignore it! Democratic papers have beittled tt;
Liberal papers have sneered at and made merry
over it. Independent Republican papers have
treated the matter with gracious indifference, or
have wisely remarked that ''these little troubles
were lamentable, but really there was no danger,
you know. The question Of liberty and suffrage
for the blacks was settled permanently, and could
not be disturbed and these gOOd-nRtured Jour
nails have turned to other and, as they deemed
more important discussions, And yet the per-
turbed spirit Will not rest. The "troubles in the
South instead of ceasing with the election, are
increasing every day. The little cloud no bigger
than mans hand has grown in political magni-
tude until 1t fills large part Of the political
heavens. And we expect to see It gather blacker
and more threatening, until It bursts once more
with terrific force over the country.

President JeWett, of the Erie Railroad Com
pany, in his report, says: "a comparative state
ment OF the gross earnings for the fiscal year
ending September 80 1878 and 1874, shows a de-
crease of 81, 4l3 1915. A comparative statement
Of the net earnings for the same period shows a
decrease OF 1856 sO3.75. Actual net earnings for
the fiscal year ending September 80, 1874, were
S5O35, 1904. comparative statement of the
working expenses for the same fiscal periods shows
q decrease of S76,9O4. The entire interest and
rentals payable by the company for the year
ending September 80, 1874, exclusive Of that pay
able on account of SIS 900 900 of the second con-
sOidated mortgage bonds, the final disposition of
which was made in London, amounted to S4OO5,-
900 per annum in currency, equal to $685., 825 per
month. For the ensuing year there will have to
be added to the above amount the interest on
these SIS 900 900 of bonds. On the 1st OF July the
floating debt Of the company was g, 1874, 29S. On
the LIST of tho present month II was 81, So, OILS,
showing q reduction by payments to that date of
the earnings Of SS23, 2S3, which has since been
further reduced in the sum Of 500 900, leaving as
the present debt the sum OF 81 ,i2l OILS only. Mr..
JeWett says all outstanding liabilities in Europe
have been eXtinNuished. We have no liabilities
in that quarter except those which can be made
upon us by our bond and shareholders. At home

THE Florida Union is apparently dis
satisfied with our recent comments regard
ing the threatened treachcry of Gov.
Stearns, of that State, and claims that ''it
g he has any fault politically it is being too
"much of a Republican partisan" Re-
membering that the Union itself has never
been true to the party. and that it labored
earnestly to secure the election to Congress
of Gen. Finley, rebel Democrat over
Walls, the regular Republican candidate,
we hesitate now to accept it as authority
for Gov Stearns' Republicanism. We
may as well add, right here. that part of
Stearns' conspiracy to place the State in
the power Of the Democrats included a
scheme TO elect Democratic president
pro ten. of the Senate. This being done,
and Stearns being himself elected to sue
ccCdMr Gilbert in the United States Senate,
the Democratic president pro TEN. would
succeed TO the Governorship. Can the
Union deny this? We know 1t can, but
not tTuthfully.

THE SAND RTCH ISLANDS.

1t is well known that commissioners of
His Majesty, Kalakaua, have been for some
time in Washington for the purpose of
negotiating treaty of reciprocity with the
United States, but what progress they have
made has not been made public. Recent
events inthe Pacific and the occupation of
the Fiji group by the British Government
have shown the Hawaiians the necessity of
seeking closer commercial relations with
the United States, and have drawn the at
tention of our people to the Hawaiian
Islands as the only considerable group now
preserving its independence in the Pacific.
Their nearness to our shores, and the fact
that by their position they command the
North Pacific ocean, makes it matter of
great interest and importance to the United
States that they should not fall into the
hands of foreign power, and yet it is evil
dent that if we refuse to make the proposed
treaty with them their necessities will drive
them to seek such relations with the British
Colonies which lie south and north of them,
and with their commerce naturally their
political sympathies will go. Mr.. Seward
was so impressed with the importance of
this that he submitted reciprocity treaty
to the Senate some years ago, which was
voted for by large majority, but failed by
one or two votes Of the necessary two
thirds.
Commercially the treaty was fairer than
treaties of this character usually are. The
Hawaiian Islands buy of US about as much
as we of them, and the schedules were so
arranged that they were to admit free of
duty IN their ports American products and
manufactures to about the same amount in
value as we were to admit free, and as
their products did not compete in any way
with any American interests on the Pacific
coast, there could not be any objection
from protectionists, but, on the contrary,
rather favor, as American goods were to be
protected in Hawaiian markets, CfrOm
which the English and Germans are now
driving them away,) by the advantages
which they would secure under the treaty.
The present civilization Of these inter-
esting islands is the result of American
philanthropy and generosity, and it is a
result of which as a nation we may be
proud, and which we do not wish to see
endangered. On political, commercial and
social grounds, we trust treaty will be
made, and that our royal visitor may long
reign over his little kingdom, and while
they remain as an independent nation see
them enjoying the benefits of the closer re-
lations with our own republic which they
so earnestly seek.

SOME of our Eastern journals have way
now and then of sneering at Nevada, and
pointing to the injustice of allowing her
fifty thousand people the same representa-
ton in the Senate of the United States as
Eastern and Western States, which count
a population of millions. The Territorial
CNev.) FRterpriss Of recent date re-
spends in a very effective manner and
points out that the injustice is by no means
as great as it seems at the first blush.
Taking the statistics Of the grain and hog
exports of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Min
nesota and great portion of Indiana and
Nebraska, which represent the earnings of
over five millions of people, extending over
territory of two hundred and seventy
millions of acres, it finds that they amount
to only one hundred and ffty-one millions
of dollars, and adds : ''Now, the State Of
Nevada will ship this year forty millions
"of dollars, not in wheat and pork, but in
gold and silver. Or, in other words, the
"ffty thousand people of Nevada produce
"more than one third as much wealth as
'the five millions of people in the North
"west do" Our Western contemporary, in
conclusion, says: at is time the COnsti-

Va aims Sc that from 1811 to the hecin.

We thus see that from 1871 to the begin
ming of 1874, a period of only thirteen
years, there is a change against the Ameri-
can shipping of 7,277, 819 tons. Forty-fve
years ago our commercial marine for our
own trade was four times that of all other
nations. Now, of all the vessels entering
our ports, we have only about $500, 600
tonnage, while other nations have more
than 5000, 600; and these latter do the
great bulk of the rapid and most profitable
business, and nearly all the passenger trade.
Their profits are, therefore, even far greater
than would appear from the simple COM
parison of tonnage.
But there are more facts of value for
study and reflection. In 1860 the total
American tonnage which entered British
ports was 1,747, 651 tons, the total British
tonnage entering our ports being 1, 1876, 364
tons. But in 1870 the American tonnage
entering the British ports was only 49,
GO tons. while vessels flying the British
colors entering our ports during. that year
measured 2,778, S23 tons. Herein we have
greatly retrograded; England has greatly
