Shipping Rnraenn.
From the N. Y. Herald.

A AOLh lLS ~ htIAlu.
The laws in regard to our Shipping
seem to have been framed for The dis,
llnct purpcss Cf desLrSying instead of
fostering tnat industry. 10 the hrst
place, We have medieval bundle of
statutes under the operation If which it
costs between ten TO fifteen per cent
more to build an iron vessel hsIe than
III England. Competition with foreign
ers under clrcums. .anCes Is Of couIss
Impossible. The high tariff advocate
says we shall not builI iron ships unless
AIr. Roach docs the suilding aud 10 paid
for Them at least ten per cent more than
they would eos, abroad. The iniquitous
legislAtion has tad the natural effect Of
almost sweeping the American flag from
the ocean aud Of strengthening the fol-
elgn steamship lines OF France, Germany
England and every other ceuaLry able 10
hoaL steamship.
Again, The Determinations against out
sailing vessels are eoually outrageous.
Take, first Of all, the system Of measure
ment. Under our practice, which legis
iatloa makes compulsory, American
vessels are rated nearly oue-third higher
in tonnage than vessels Of q similar SIZE
would be rated in England. What
harm is there III that? Only this, that
there are numerous charges which ships
are Compelled TO pay here and abroad
according 10 their Measurement. Hat-
Dor and other dues ale rated on this
scale. Vessels eolng through the Suez
Canal are taxed by this standard.
Again, our consular fee sys en is a very
great grievance. Consuls are almost as
expert In their charges as the receivers
Ct baukl upt insurance companies. AND
we will know what harpies they are.
The charges for similar service under
the English system are almost nominal.
In discussion to decay OF cur commerce
il is the ignorant fashion to call up the
ghost of the Rebellion and the Alabama;
but tire fact is the laws now on our sta
tue books have done more than
thousand Alabamas to destroy American
shipping.

Loss OF DIGNITY soMHwHEAE.-

Loss OF DIGNITY soMEwHERE.-
The nomination and confirmation Of
Mr.. Roscos Conkling to be . Justice
Of the Supreme Court of the United
stAtss, IS now an existing fact. But
the whole country seems to be left IN
donbt a. to whether the Achilles of the
Radical party in the campaign of 1880
will condescend to accept the position.
It is said that the President is as much
in doubt Is the Senators, and that some
Ok.the. supposed organs of the ex-
Senator express . deep disgust at the
proffered office TO the able chief whom
thsy delight TO honor with such adu-
lation as they can command. Here is
an exhibition of loss of dignity
someWhere that ought to be sensibly
felt by every American citizen who
estimates the government of the Re-
public as worthy Of such exaltation as
not to be made to stoop to the position
Of beggar for the services Of any
man, much less for one that had 50
lately expressed contempt for the
Chief Executive and his advisers both
Of the Cabinet and the Senate. Really
the government Of the United States
seems to have become SO low in the
estimation thai it may not only be
lnsulted abroad without fear of re-
dress, but may be robbed and brow
beaten at homo while it is made beg
gar for spch as Conkling to take high
ofac8 under it. This is a lowering Of
dignity to which in the old Democratic
times-when an American man of
war'Could stand in the Seine aud de-
mand payment of q French Monarch
untiFthe demand was complied with,
Orthe captain of an American steamer,
with shot:ed guns, on the Bosphorous,
compel an Admiral of au Austrian
frigate to surrender an American citi-
Eeh--the American government was a
stranger. Then it was a proud thing
to stand up in the American Senate
or House of Representatives. Then
such thing as stealing the Presi-
dency was thought to be an impossi-
bihty. When will the people cleanse
the Augean Stables : when will they
kick out tho bold buccaneers anc
look into the recesses of tho Depart
ments of their own government? VIZ
fear not until some great and astound
ing robbery has bsen discovered or act
committed at which all will revolt.

THE New York Commercial Bulletin,
having made exte nded inquiries in the
entire winter wheat growing region of

an important increase In the acreage of
winter wheat over that Of last year; and
that the condition of that crop, during
the lest half OF February, was almost
universally much above au aver age

the old crop OF wheat and corn still re-
naming in farmers hands shows that
Of wheat the proportion left In Michi-
gan and Michigan is very small; in Ken

Missouri large. or corn, larger per
centage OF the crop remains than wheat,
the States Of Minnesota, Iowa, Illlnols
and OHIO having each over q third OF

showing high ratio. The average pro-

therefore 23.4 per cent, and of corn 3O.t
per cent. As these stocks have TO pro
vide for seed and for local consumption
for about five months, it will be seen
that the stocks are relatively very light.
Moreover, In many localities, stocks
are entirely exhausted, and LEGAL con.

IT Is SAID that the cost of finish
ing the four monitors, one of which
IL in this city, and was looked at yes
terday by the Naval Committee, will
be $1,000, 900 each. We don't believe
they will ever be worth q million
cents TO the country, and therefore, it
would only be waste of money to
complete them. If they are left to
rot on the stocks the cost of finishing,
arming and moving them may be
saved. We have no idea that any
nation will dare to attack so, 900 900 of
free people, either in port or on the

A KIND GOVERNMENT taxes poor
woman who cannot afford to keep fire
over night two cents on box OF
matches to strike light with in the
morning. 1t is no less hard upon
poor girl who has a sore throat or
delicate lungs and cannot afford to
employ a physician ; she is compelled
TO pay a stamp tax on a bottle of
medicine, or a box of pills, or any
other thing that she may be encour-
aged to buy to give her relief or add
to her strength. The rich can buy
natches BY the gross, and are never
required to seek relief from patent
medicines. There is not an article
that the poor use that is not taxed by
a class of men who grabbed for thou
sands Of dollars from the public funds
and live in luxury every day from the
money thus wrung from the poor. The
tax on matches and medicines is as
scandalous as the act of freebooter,
and il wholly without justification in
a time of peace. No man ought to
cast vote in favor of a man who
would vote to make invalids pay tax
on the only remedies they are able to
secure. The people should retaliate.
Unless these burdensome taxes are
soon removed they will demand that
an income tax be made to take their
place. Labor and business pursuits
bear too much of the burden of tax.
1t is greater than the tyrants of Europe
place upon their heads.

A fsw years ago John Roach met
with dificultiesin New York, and had
to succumb for . time. He could not
make the business 60 In that city, and
gave up. he came TO this city, it was
rumored at the time, seeking place 70
start yard again. A gentlemen when
Roach aud his business here, was re-
ferred to, very coAtemptuously remarked
ahe had gone up the spout" and was "a
man of no account anyhow" How
much mistaken this gentleman was the
sequel shows. John Roach secured
land ON the Delaware, At Chester, and
in less than three years was employing
oyer one thousand men. His yard now Is
referred TO by the writer In the Ledger
as follows:
MIR. John Roach and the company
were conveyed to the Chester Rolling
Mills, where much OF the iron used BY
Mr. Roach in his shlpyard 10 made.
| The new blast furnace, which COM
menced operations in November last,
was visited, and, from the Superintend-
ent, it was Ascertained that the prOduc-
tion of pig iron amounted 10 about 800
tons per week, and of plate iron, in the
mill, 275 tons per week.
The shipyard Of Mr.. Roach was then
visited. In this yard over 200O men are
employed In the building OF ships.
Thirteen vessels, with an aggregate ton
mage Of about 25, 900 tons, are now being
constructed, all Of which, except one, are
large sea-going ships. The exception is
the side-wheel steamer Pilgrim, for the
Fall River line. This vessA has q
double hull, and Is to be finished in the
most costly manner. Her shafts, each
20 inches In diameter, AZ feet long, and
together weighing "a tons, are said to
be the largest ever made in this coun-
try. The steamer will have first-class
accommodations for 1900 passengers.
She will be launched in April. The
various operations in this extensive
yard We're thoroughly examined and the
committee expressed themselves highly
delighted with all they saw.
Had John Roach been induced to
come to Wilmington his establish
ment would have added enormously te
its fame for ship building. He is now
building three times as many iron
ships as were ever found on the stocks
in Wilmington at one time Whal
Mr.. Roach is doing at Chester may bG
repeated on the Delaware at Hook
in this city ,Or at New Castle, with jus
as much success. All that is wanted
is that Congress shall encourage com
merce by relieving it by the modifioa
tion of the oppressive tariff laws tina
have SO long compelled our merchant
to employ foreign vessels.

xnd most delicate way, improve ones self.
All accomplishments should be considered
as means of assisting others. In music,
get the voice disciplined and clear, and

to mt 6e SNOWY drawings for praise, or

Learn the economy of the kitchen, the good

great errors, while allowing the laws to take

neither, if through years of folly you mis-

interference to bring round everything at

Women and Business.


Two things should be included in the
education of every girl she should be
taught practically the value and use of
money, and she should be trained to do
some sort of work by which she can cara q
livelihood, if need be. Children of eight or
ten years should have an allowance. They
are too young, of course, to be trusted with
large amount of money, but they should
be given fixed sum, and out of that should
be expected to get certain articles of dress,
say ribbons and gloves. AS they grow
older, and are learning by experience how to
use money, the allowance must, of course,
be increased, and the range of articles left to
their judgment extended; till at ages vary
ing from fourteen to seventeen, according
to the development of the child, sum suf-
ficient for all personal expenses may be
given monthly Let them use the surplI 6
as they please, let them never in year
overrun the allowance, let them feel the
consequences of their folly, mistakes, or self
will Donot come in and make up defci-
encee- unless in very exceptional cases. In
this way they will learn wisdom in the use
Of money; the reasoning faculties, the power
of estimating the relative value of things,
will be gained while the child is still under
the protection of parents, and experience
will be bought at its cheapest rate. An ac-
count book, with the left-hand pages de-
voted to receipts Tor all that comes in), the
right to payments Tor all that goes
outl, balanced weekly or monthly,
should be kept conscientiously and sub
mitted for inspection occasionally.
Any girl with proper personal pride and
individuality will learn to like the independ-
ence which this system gives. To have to
ask tor every article of dress or luxury is
somewhat CALLING to young people, and
when il is in a home where strict economy
must be prscticed, it is sometimes a source
Of great pain. On the other hand, this plan
