STEAMSHIP LINES.

Our country is now paying $50 100000
annually to foreign steamships for carry
ing our own freight and passengers
While the Herald Ia an earnest advocate
of protective tariff. 1t may be gravely
doubted whether in this matter OF pre-
venting our citizens from buying steam
ships where they can be hnilt the cheap
est, and running them under the Amerl
can fllg, 1t Ia not carrying the doctrine OF
protection beyond the bounds OF wisdom.
England and France subsidized all their
earlier lines of steamships to the amount
Of $40 900 900 annually, and the result
has vindicated their wisdom and states
manship. But we compel our citizens,lf
they wish to establish line OF steamers
to buy them of our own builders at far
higher cost than they can be purchased
for abroad, refuse to subsidize them in
any manner, aud the result is that the
carrying trade Of freight and passengers
is almost wholly confined to our great
commercial rivals, and we pay an enor'
nous sum annually for their services.
Al this vast amount should be saved and
paid directly to our people. Without the
American Traffic in freight and passen-
gers, the English lines OF steamers would
be almost wholly without support. We
trust the time is not far distant when the
boards of idle capital now seeking in
vestment will be used to build up and
sustain lines of steamships, and il it is
proved beyond controversy that we can
not build steamships as cheap as we can
buy them, that we depart from the doc.
crine of protection in this instance, and
permit our people to buy where they can
be obtained for the least money. We
want to zee the American flag floating
over competing steam lines on the ocean,
and We believe the advantage to Amerl-
can commerce, and the saving Of the vast
sums now paid TO English aud French
steamers would prove of infinite benefit
to the whole Country Cleveland Herald.
The above exempli6es the workings
of a tarifffor protection; thatis, it crushes
out or burdens certain industries or bust
ness to benefit the one protected. Amer
ican shiP.building is the business pro.
teCted, as we'll as other interests involved
in ship.building. The grand result Of
the whole thing is that American ship
ping has almost disappeared from the
ocean, and we are paying some sixty
millions of dollars year to foreign ship.
pers.
The benefits of protection, in many in
stances, eventually turn out anything but
blessings. The iron trade, during the
last few years, is case in point. The
general ruin and prostration of business
in this country during the past few years
has been largely owing to the iniquities
of the Republican protective tariff, by
disturbing values, and robbing some to
benefit other industries, The line OF
true safety is to be got by following jus
tice, and this admits not of fdvortism,
but of equality for all before the law.
There is no other safe rulein legislation,
and no other way to secure the happi.

ing that the Secretary of State had no
power to direct him. Sherman was sent
in his stead, and the trio sailed in the
United States war vessel Susquehanna
for Vera Cruz. 0tterbourg proceeded
thence to the capital, supposing that the
vessel and his companions would await
his return. He sent word to Campbell
that his presence was imperative to save
the life Of the Emperor, but Campbell
had sailed back to New Orleans. Bazaine
was abandoning the country, and Otter
bourg urged the Emperor to fee while
the route to the ocean was still open. He
declined to go, claimingit would be a de-

THE Senatorial election in France took
place on Sunday last. Eighty.two va

The North American of Philadelphia,
don't seem to banker after Gen. Sher-

II the new army bill does not get a

man has been endsavoring to lift his
military power above the control Of the

MUCH is claimed for the resumption Of
specie payments, as to revlving business
and giving the country good times. We
shall know more Of this in year or two.
We take no stock in the Sherman sham,
for sham it is. Honest resumption Of
specie payments means convertibility of
the currency into gold and silver. We
cannot SEE the convertiloility. 1t surely
is not brought to our doors, and it viii
be q long time under the Sherman shan,
before we see gold in general circulation.
