fore us in regard to Il revival of American com
mcrce, no Maine man who is intelligent as to
the future of his State can vote to sacrifice an
interest which under every encouragement has
thus far been 50 energetcally maintained.
1t would be curious to calf over i list of the
occupations of the people Of Maine and after
careful inspection of its details to have the free
trader point ont one that would be helped by
the destruction of the protective tarf,-or in
deed, one that would not be harmed by it. The
first one indicated by the tree-trader would pro
badly be the navigation interest, which lie
would boastfully maintain is seriously injured
by a protective tariff, But the ship-owncr
would not desire the destruction Of the pTotcr-
ton to manufactures if at the same time it car
ricd with it the destruction to the protection Of
the navigation interest, which comes from
curing the coastng trade to American built and
American owned vessels. Not to speak Of the
countless sailing vessels engaged in tile coastn@
trade ON the Atlantic, the Gulf and the Pacific
it must be remembered that the steam tonnage
engaged in the same trade, all built and owned
in the nitcd States, is larger than She entire
steam Tonnage Of Great Britain TWENTY-FIVE
years ago. The coa>ting trade keeps alive the
navigation interest of America, and OUT of il
