ships upon any terms. For wears
Ne have been told that next vear

What would be thoughtcf a phvsi-

ships would bu III up Amer can sim
yards, @hich The policy here ofors
pursued had no. dCne. For s O-O9f
he showed that A-1eri an ship
build ng was decreasing. We we're
building very few iron shiTs Plumb
inquired how the purchase O: ships
abroad, would build up American
ship yards. Vest replied there
would come to psss mere What
had come to pass ii Germany,
Ne matter Where ships came rom,
their presence would stimulate
lnteresh in shipping, and csuse cap
ltal to flow into ship building. IN
I'll few years ago Germany had
Just such 8 system as we had to-
day. but had abandoned if snd the
interest in, and actively If ship
in that country, 20 ere
greatly stimulated.
Frye said, Germany had tried the
alan OF buying ships in other cOuu-
rice, but had beccme disgueted with
t aud the government had gone into
he business Of ship building. France
slsO had tried the purchase Of ships
and gave it up gnd now
pays a bounty FOR every ship b0il.
md every mile ssiled. Vest said,
German subject could buy his
ships wherever he pleased, TIE me,
;hanics OF the country were en-
1lOyed on repairs Ofships, no matter
here bought, snd thus the ship
yards of Germany were built uD. On
he question relative to WAGES psid
a this country and abroad, Festex-
pressed his conv'c ion that nOtwith-
tending the higher wages paid in
the higher intelligence
lnJ superior skill Of i Gaer;can work
nen would enable them to compete
With the labor O. any European
country. NotWithstsEd inz the fact
hat EnglanG's wages Were higher
han in Germany, Eng and could
compete with Germany anywhere.
ie did not believ= any act Of Con
,Tess would bring an immediate re-
urn Of prosperity TO American
hipping, but when an attemp! was
made in the right direction we were
net with the cry, no matter what
the sacred protective syS.
EN- of the Republican party, must
lot be interfered with. He did not
xpect his amendment to pass the
senate, and he had only spoken On
SIS long as he had, in the
rope that public opinion might
70 brought, to bear on the odious and
system which in bis
pinion it was Of so much import
nee to Destroy. Hale spoke in sup
ort of the bill and in opposition TO
be amendment Of Vest.
