$50 much for Our agriculture. How
is it with our shipping, upon which we
so much prided ourselves. In 1860 our
tounage was 5 1856 tons; in 1873,
100000. In 1860 the foreign tonnage
entering the ports of the United STATES
was 2,353,911; 10 1878, S,033 037. Our
tonnage has declined 10 per cent; foreign
tonnage has increased $40 per cert. Before
the permanency'ot the prohibitory tariff our
commercial marine, for our own trade, was

1.-THE great iron interest is in the same
unhappy CONDITION OF decay. The cun>'Imp.
iou of pig-iron in the United States in 1873
was estimated ats 023,05S tous, Of which
2,SGS.27S tons were homemade. 10 1874
The estimated bone product was only 800
0G0 tons. Furnace have stopped thousands

81 O00, 0O0, 600 to 81 800, 1000, 600, tue interest
on which is ANNUALLY sent abroad. Mr. John-
ston might have aided the suns spcnta5road
BY absentees and tourists, who find tcheaper
and more agreeable to speod their tlIne
abroad tuan at home. This has been estinla-
,el at tens OF millions annually. This was
SUPPOSED 10 DC IN part compensated Dy Id
misratiop, each Immigrant being producer
as well as bringing money with him.
The report Of the Commissioner Of lmm-
grafton in 1854 states that the hnnuat SUNS
thus brought by the Germans alone amount
ed Tor three years to Sill 100000 per annum.
Tue statistical tables OF the Ducby Of Baden
fix the amount brought by each Immigrant
at S9S in gold; Baysriaus. $93.2); BrunS-
wickers, sos; WurtemUursers who came 10
1856, $l34 each in god in 1857, S145; and
in 1858, 1910. The statistics OF immigration
have not been received, but it is known that
there is large lefllX returning with their
means. The returns Of receipts for Storage
passengers and freightS from nine lines Of
oceanic steamers ShoT from Al ,000, 900 a de-
cline Of 2l. 900 600; from Storage passengers,
two-:hi:ds. Wncn large numbers returning
enter to swell tLis amount the number OF
immigrants is very small. Those returning
carry back reports of a Government young
in years, but in taxation and corruption gone
ahead Of the old Governments OF Europe.
1t may be added that our ship.building in.
terest is crushed, our manufactures pros.
trate, our agriculture bankrupt. A few in
diyiduals have acquired millions; the masses,
taxation, poverty, debt, distress. These are
the results OF Radical rule 10 less than fifteen
years. Born aud existing by sectional hate,
it can now wage equal war Tor prolonged
power. ...
We are invoked to celebrate the centen Dial
of the birth of American liberty. May We

States may have cause to envy the liberties
