PROTECTING UNTO DEATH.

THE third of Mr.. Wells's admirable
papers on our merchant marine is printp
ed in to days WorId. Mr.. Wells's only
trouble in arguing the case is that the
case is too clear. There is absolutely
nothing to be said on the other side.
The navigation laws were passed to pro-
tect American ship-building. The navi-
cation laws do not protect American
ship,building, for there is no American
ship>building left to protect. Why, then
should not the navigation laws be re.
pealed2 There is no decent pretense of
an answer to this question. No answer
is attempted except by Americans who
would like to build ships, or by their at
torneys in Congress or elsewhere. The
suggestion which these people make is
wonderful suggestion. 1t is that, mas
much as foreigners can build ships more
cheaply than we, we should give our
ship-builders bounty equal to the diff
ference in cost between foreign and
American ships. Other manufacturers
we can protect by putting a prohibitory
duty on the competing product. Ships
also we can protect in the same way.
We can either prohibit the entrance Of
foreign ships into American ports alto,
gether, following an illustrious example
ofthe Chinese Empire, or else impose
upon them port dues which will amount
to prohibition. Either of these courses
would be efficient, and either would be
much more honest than the subsidies
proposed by Mr.. Blaine. Either would
no doubt meet the views of the four or
i've men who are anxious to build
American ships regardless of expense.
But people who do not care that an enor-
nous tax in addition to the tariff tax
should be imposed upon all imported
goods will be apt to suggest, as the bet
ter solution, that Americans, like other
people, shall buy ships where they cvn
buy ships cheapest, and that if Ameri~
cans cannot proftably build ships,
Americans should betake themselves to
other branches of industry in which they
can live without Government bounties.-

AT LAST.

After the failure of the Freedman's
Bank in 1873, Republican Congress-
created commission of three persons,
with salary of $1,000 a year each, to
close up the affairs of that institution,
which had been brought to bankruptcy
by the robbery Of Republican Rings,
That was in 1874. Two of these Com.
missioners never pretended to do any
duty but to sign their names to the re-
ports and papers of the third, who did
whatever work was to be done, and re-
ceived $500 per annum from each of his
colleagues.
Thus five thousand dollars every year
were taken away in salary, without any
form of equivalent, from the remaining
assets of the broken bank, to put in the
pockets Of two pet Republican Commits
sionerS. And, in addition to this scan.
dalous plunder Of the defrauded deposi.
tors, outrageous fees were allowed to
other Republican favorites, until three
hundred and forty thousand dollars
nave been consumed in expenses and
charges since the act of June, 1894, was
passed.
After nearly seven years of this harsh
experience, a Democratic Congress has
abolished the Commission, and turned
the affairs of the bank over to the
Comptroller Of the Currency, with an al.
lowance Of 81. 900 for special pay, instead
Of $9,00 heretofore paid to the three
Commissioners.
This Freedman's Bank is one of the
darkest stains on the whole career of the
Republican party. As originally char.
tered, 1t required the trustees to make
all Investments in bonds of the United
States, for the protection of the deposi.
tors. When the deposits became large
from the earnings of more than sixty
thousand men, women and children,
fresh from slavery and ignorant of the
methods OF banking, the chiefs Of the
Washington Ring and other Republican
thieves cast enVious eyes upon this
fund. They professed the utmost friend.
ship for the colored brother, and they
were the loudest champions of "broad.
or humanity"
A Republican Congress amended the
charter 30 as to destroy the security
which it afforded, and authorized the
trustees to loan money out on mortgage
of real estate. This opened the door to
the monstrous frauds that followed un-
der the philanthropic core of of General
0. o. Howard, Henry D. Cooke, and
other noted Republicans. 1t took only
a short time to fill the vaults with
worthless scrip, with notes that could
only be sold for waste paper, and with
fraudulent transactions that should have
sent the trustees and their confederates
to the Penitentiary. But nothing was
done with them, and these swindlers
are now all Garfield sbcuters.-N Y
