AMERICAN NAVIGATION LAWS.

Tho National Boarsl of Traile adopted on
Wednesday, sorios Of resolutions demanding
the repeal Of the Navigation laws. Twenty
six members voted for the resolutions and nine
ngainas them. Tho odious nature Of tLalaws
was huy characterized during the discussion,
which, although 1t developed no new points.
was high testimony 10 tho intelligence Of
some Of tho speakers. Ono member called
attontlon to the fact TINT ships and obscene
books are the only articles the importation
Of which into tho Unitod States is absolutely
prohibited. Tic defense Of tho laws under
tnken by Eastern members waa foeblo and
Inconsistent. The speakers attempted to
provo at tho same time that the repeal of the
lnws would not result in the purchase OF for
eign vessels by American citizens; and that
1t would cause tho ruin Of our shipbuilding
interests; and that wo have no shipbuilding
interests. Any one Of those propositions
would be difficult enough to maintain, and 1t
is not surprising TINT tho persons who at-
tempted to uphold all three Of them came to
grief.
Tho American Navigation laws are tho prod
uct Of n dog-in-tho-manger policy which
has been dictated BY Eastern shipbuilders,
and has ruled In tho national councils ever
since tho War. The ahipbuilden took ad-
vantage Of tho transfer Of tho American
merchant marine 10 foreign 0aga during the
War, and Aayo refused the enactment OF
laws permitting the rotransfer Of the vessels.
Congress WIS dc1uded by tho plea that the
slip-owners who Ind transferred their vessels
were unpntriotic and ought to to punished.
The shipbuildors supposed TINT the opora.
tion Of tho laws would DO to cause
demand for homc.built vessels to supply
tho plnce Of those transferred. They were
mistaken. No demand aroso. The laws In
short time transferred our commercoas we'll
| a. our vessels to Foreigners. Foryears Ame1i-
can trade has been largely transacted by for
eign vessols. Last year tho number Of
American vessels which entered ports Of the
United States from foro1gn countries was
1880; number Of foreign vessels. 17,4ol.
The number Of American vessels which
cleared for foreign ports WINS 11,34s, and tho
number Of foreign vessels 17,oss. The Sta
sistica In regard to our foreign tsade arc still
moro convincing. They make the following

1t appears from, the above table TINT about
733 per cent Of American trada with foreign
countries ia carried on in foreign vessels.
Moreover, q very large share OF tho guy per
cent carried in American vessels IL mado up
OF sugar and molasaea brought from tho
West Indies, which Is hardly foreign CON-
merce ut Ill. This Is what ten years Of re-
strictiye' Navigation laws, tho faliaoy Of
which was exposed 200 years ago, have done
for American shipping; aud, notwithstand-
ing the result, the American shipbuilaers,
or some OF them, persist In their selhsh pol
icy. They cannot build themselves, and
they will not permit Americans to buy
abroad.
The benefits that would follow the repeal
OF the Navigalonlaws can be easily euumes-
ated. Americans could then buy ships
where they arc made cheapest, without injury
10 tho prosperity OF the nation. For It must
be borne III mind that the more We buy
abroad the more we must send abroad to pay
for, what we buy. There would be an In.
cseased demand for American products, and
industry In some OF its branches would be
stimulated. The shipbuilders might tenn
posarily suffer, but they could scarcely bs
wosse OF than they are ut present. Nobody
proposes to interfere with them In the con-
struction Of coastiug vessels, and foreign
vessels, 1t Lis obvious. they cannot make while

decree freeing all the slaves brought into the
island since 1865, the date of the treaty con-
cludcd with England, France, and the United
States. We need not call to mind the COM
pact entered into by the Sultan Of Zanzibar
with Sir BARTLE FRERE except TO say that
during the past year It has been scrupulous-
ly kept by the African ruler within the scope
of his authority. But the treaty did not con-
template the abolition of the trade on the
mainland and the sole result is that the
slaves who formerly took IA maritime route
now go by land.
II appears, then, that slavery and It's in
cvitablc 'outgrowth, the slave trade, are by
no means extinct in the year of grace 1877,
and the reason IS that European Govern
mcnts have lately dealt with this question
In too dainty aud dinldcnt n fashion. II
is cWtan that the financial and Nor
camille classes of Europe who derive cnOr-
nous profits from the present state of
things do not favor any decisive, radical re-
form. Yielding to their influence, the Khc-
dive not long ago sanctioned measure
which must needs tend to consolidate SER
vile institution Since 1873 the Egyptian
Chief of Polio has been ordered 10 prevent
the cmancipatiurof any slave whose master
will not come forward and swear that he is
free from any charge of theft or other de-
linqucncy.
The need OF the hour Is that civilized ma
tions should intervene in Africa, and to that
end should concert prompt, comprehensive,
AMI conclusive policy. But this will not be
done until public opinion is roused to sec in
slavery a hidc,us crime against humanity.
and AZ such to purge ii from the earth. Tn
til then the slave trade. either regular or
contaband must continue to exist, Tor de-
mand will entail supply.
