If the father chiefly talks money,

family in the worship of the almighty
dollars" If he talks mainly of horses,
races and games, he breeds batch of
sportsmen. If fashion is the family altar,
then the children are offered up as vic
tins upon that altar If "a man makes his
own freside attractive he may reasonable
hope to anchor his own children around it.
My neighbor Q. makes himself the con-
slant evening companion of his boys. The
resrlt is that his boys are never found in
bad places. But if the father hears the

play house he need not be surprised il
his boys hear it strike twelve in the gamb,

puts the bottle on his own table hs neeC

Free Trade in Ships.

We trust the Democratic house when it
meets will lose no time in Selling upon the
opportunity offered us by the present and
prospective condition Of Europe for recov-
ering our position as a maratime power.
If the conflict widens, as it threatens to
widen, and involves Great Britain as it is
likely to do, fortune will have opened to US
an avenue to prosperity and national
strength closed long ago by our own folly.
But if we mean to avail ourselves of this
avenue our absurd and mischievious navi-
cation laws must be resolutely and prompt
ly revised. If the whole of the Russian
and Turkish merchant marine were in the
market to-day and waiting for purchasers;
if the vast commerce of England, "whi-
tening every sea, were seeking transfer
to day TO the protection of a neutral flag,
the prize could not be grasped by us, so
effectuaIIy are we tied hand and foot by
restrictive statutes. No vessel can obtain
an American registry which was not built
in the United States or captured by an
American citizen in war No vessel is en-
titled to such registry which is owned in
whole or in part by foreigners or even by
Americans residing abroad. The ships OF
our own construction which we sold to for
eigners under the stress of the civil war
cannot be repurchased by Americans to-
day and put back under our flag. Ameri
can merchants are forbidden by our laws
to go into the cheapest market in time Of
peace and buy vessels; and in time of wal
American merchants are forbidden by oul
laws to take advantage of our neighbors
mistakes and difficulties as they haye wise
ly taken advantage in their time Of ours
1t is the plain duty of the Democratic house
to take steps Immediately upon the meet
ing of congress to Hberate the commerc
of the country from the shackles which un
wise legislation has put upon it. The the
DRY that we can encourage the building O
American ships by strangling American
commerce oughS no longer to have any ad
vocates even in Maine, for its enormous alb
surdity has been demonstrated by the fata
experience Of the past decade. The Unitet
States may reasonably aim at securing
again our old preponderauce in the carry
ing trade of the world if the nations @
Europe plunge into a general war; blu
there is only one way to attain this result
: That lies through freedom to purchas
! ships wherever they can be most advanta
geously bought. The experience of Grea
Britain has indicated the wisdom of tn
: repeal OF her restrictive navigation acts
/ for her commercial marine has since il
2 creased in an enormous ratio, notwlthstanC
J ing the concurrent development of tn
: commercial marine of Scandinavia, GeI
D many and Italy.
