ent system has made us great nation. And
can remind the gentleman from Illinois Mr..
Townshendl that the system which he so much
Delabors, the system of bounties and land war
rants, was adopted by Democratic Congress.
The first subsidy was given to the Collins
Steamship Company, and that was made by
Democratic Congress. The first land grant
was to an Illinois railroad, and that was made
by Democratic Congress. And for my part l
am proud and glad to believe that the Repub-
lican party will also be found encouraging
everything which develops this empire and
makes this nation might from sea to sea.
Now, there is a specious fairness on the part
OF this free-ship proposition as tackled to the
eighteenth section. By the eighteenth section
you say you offer bounty to American ship
builders. 1t is only fair thing then to allow
the ship-owner to buy free, but whenever you
do that you offer with one hand one-half the
advantage, and with the other you take away
that and its equal. You offer a single thing
and you take away double. Let me prove it to
you. The bounty that is proposed here is only
what would be the duty upon iron and other
materials up to plates, angles and bars--differ-
ence of price. After that, American labor, at
90 per cent. greater price than British labor, is
TO come in and build the ship. In other words
you equalize the material up to plates, angles,
and bars, but after that, which is one-half the
cost of the ship, you throw it all open.
heard the eulogy tue gentleman from Illi-
nois has bestowed on England. I have no ug-
~ words to say about England. l admire Eng
land as much as my friend from New York
Mr. Robinson who is in front of me. Laugh
teri do not care whether we buy from Eng
land or any other nation. What contend for
is that we ought to exalt this nation above all
others, and that we ought to use this as means
OF equipping ourselves as nation for all events
of the future.
The next day, the 18th inst, Mr.. Reed per-
suaded the House to strike out the eighteenth.
nineteenth and twentieth sections,-the draw
back, free.ship, and free-material PROVISIONS
and thus secured the passage of bill which
will, it is confidently hoped, restore the Amer
lean Merchant Marine to its once prosperous
state.

B. G. TORSEY, Secretary,

Mr.. Reed ON SHINING.

Mr.. Reeds remarks on the Shipping Bill
during the course of the debate in the
House are reprinted in another column.
While of general interest to the country
they are of special interest to Maine, the
seat of the shipping industry The incon-
sistency of the free-traders in supporting that
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. measure, the provise for
free ships, is clearly exposed, and its use
lessness demonstrated. The ideas of Mr..
Reed regarding the interest which the GOV
eminent has in the promotion of amerchant
marine will, we are certain, commend them
selves to the intelligent sentiment of the
country as they did to that of Congress. He
believes that it is wiser, and more economi-
cal in every sense of the word, to develop a
merchant marine, foster school of seamen,
and establish ship-yards that can be speedily
made useful in the contingency of war, than
to maintain large and costly navy whose
services may not be needed once in fifty
years. While we are thus training sailors
for possible war we are at the same time
promoting commerce and opening avenues
to labor; and so may have an embryo navy
that is a producer instead of a consumer-a
bee, not drone. Mr.. Reed earnestly de-
sires the extension of American commerce,
but he is not willing that the extension
should be made at the cost of the American
laborer.

THE application of the Mormon Territory
OF Utah for admission into the Union as a
State has been again presented to Congress,
just as it has at every session of that body
for the past twenty years, and with as much
chance now of success as there was at the
beginning Of that period. But in point of
fact tits now difficult even for an orderly and
law-abiding and well governed Territory to
become lawfully State with the consent of
Congress, and therefore the systematic re-
lection of the Mormon Territory is BY no
means extraordinary.

NE PROCESS of compiling and ARRANGING

The process of compiling and arranging
the census returns. which is so slowly pro
ceeding, is costing great deal of money.
When the bill was passed under which the
census of 1880 was taken, it was thought
that an appropriation of $3,000,OOO would
cover the expense of the whole business.
Subsequent developments have shown that
this was great mistake. Already the Cen
sus Bureau has absorbed more than five
millions. and the end is not yet. Operations
have been brought to standstill by the ex-
haustion of the last appropriation, and Con-
gress has been invited to contribute another
100000 toward the good work.

In Elliott county, Kentucky, Thomas and
Mitchell Allen are twin brothers who look
SO much alike that it troubles themselves
sometimes to tell which is which. 1t was
necessary to arrest one of them last week
for carrying concealed weapons, but their
similarity of personal appearance troubled
the prosecutor. Witnesses were plenty who
saw him draw the pistol, but could not tell
which of them he was. The perplexity of
the court was great until one witness took
the Gordian knot and severed it at a blow.
He swore to seeing both of them whip out
their pistols during the fray; and both were
convicted accordingly.

The House Committee of Ways and
Means at Washington has at last completed
its revision of the tariff, and had the bill
printed to be reported to the House. 1t is
expected that by arrangement of political
leaders about twenty days may be allowed
for the discussion of the subject. But time
is growing precious, and the business inter-
ests of the country will be only too glad to
have the whole subject finally disposed of.
This Rnay perhaps be fastened somewhat by
the efforts of the Senate to dispose of tar
if and tax bill pending in that body in ad.
vance of the action Of the House.

FROM the reports which reach us, it APP
pears that the Dublin police are making a
great show of enterprise in prosecuting the
search for the Phoenix Park assassins, but the
measure of success which has been attained
is out of all proportion to the energy which
has been expended. Every now and then
we hear of some suspicious-looking charac-
ter having been arrested, either on the
strength of his own confession or on cir
cumstantial evidence, bat thus far the au-
thorities have never been able to sustain
such arrests by appropriate testimony, and
the prisoners have been quietly discharged.
AT the present time the Dublin police are
going through a performance which reminds
one OF the clucking of an exultant hen, but
the chances are that there is nothing there.

CAPTAIN Corey, the landlord who caused
so much talk last summer by undertaking to

been SO unfortunate as to contract typhoid
fever, and whose lives would have been
jeoparded by their removal, has been indict-

what promises to be celebrated case has
just been begun. 1t will be remembered
that Landlord Corey insisted upon being

probably about as well known to Prince Bis
