This does away with one of the many legacies
left by the late Secretary SchurZ with which the
clerks of the Interior Department have been OPP
pressed during the past lew years. The order for
bidding clerks to leave their Offices during bust
ness hours was promulgated by Schurz May 20,
1878. Commissioner Mcfarland has Ind Its abroga-
tiOn in contemplation for some weeks and being
advised by Secretary krkwOod that such regula-

several bureaus. Mt once decided to restore the
half-hour for lunch enjoyed by the employees in
former years. The sentiment among the clerks is
one Of great satisfaction. They recognize in this

How MANY, if any, of the schemes
broached during this Congress for the re-
vival of American ocean commerce will
approach even the shadow of perfection? =?
There are few subjects now before the
public of greater Importance than this
and not one, perhaps, TO which members
generally have given less thought and
study. 1t is known in q general way
that our merchant marine has gone to
the dogs, but the reasons therefor are sell
dom even sought for. But if any one
really wants information in the premises
it can be easily acquired. All that is
necessary is to take our navigation laws
and shipping acts and compare them with
those of other maritime countries.
Such a comparison will show among
other things that American sail
ing ships are handicapped in
their competition with foreign vessels,
even for our own ocean carrying trade,
with eXorbitant taxes in the way of Gus
toms dues, light dues, hospital dues, con-
sular fees, extra wages for sailors and n
system Of advance wages, which eat
very, very large holes into the profit
side of their balance sheets. OF course it
would not do to make too great dis
elimination in favor of our own mer-
chant marine in such matters as against
foreign traders in our ocean ports, but we
submit that something might be done in
that direction to give our own people q
slight advantage over their outside COM
petitors, And we certainly can provide
free consular service for American YES
sells in foreign ports.

If some of our distinguished statesmen
in either House or either party would
halt for moment to think of the enor-
nous sums of the peoples money voted
to railways, and remember at the same
time that for generations our ocean COM
merce has been subjected to onerous tax
alton, they would perhaps discover that
the eternal equities have not been strictly
preserved. In other words, the facts
show that our internal development in
times past has been immoderate as well
as extrayagant, while our external de-
velopment has been constipated to the
most astringent degree. As matters now
stand we can roll our immense crops to
the seaboards over railways built by
public grants, and then the satisfaction is
assured us of having the same products
transported to foreign ports in foreign
bottoms.

THEconsular service ofthe United States
yields profit to the Treasury of 100000
in round numbers. This sum probably
represents the amount collected by con-
suls as ships fees from American vessels
paying tonnage dues and other charges
to them in foreign ports. The service
could probably be made self-sustaining
upon the receipts from invoices or from
strictly commercial business. Why, then,
is it necessary that any dues should be
collected from ships at all? 1t would
seem at a cursory glance that these prof
its upon the consular service are practi-
caily a tax upon American shipping.
Let the Commerce Committees of both
Houses look into this subject. The exact
figures can be readily obtained from the
Fifth Auditor.
