more care than usual to catch on to the
opinions and feelings invoked and express
ed by the national victory. 1t is known

time that hr suffrsgiSts cast at the late
election 100000 votes and that of out Of
that number President CLEyELAND'S ma
jority was less than 1900. This majority
ought to indicate to sll people, whether

choose to misname our fair young State her
people, no matter OF what political CON-
plexion or previous condition, vote their
sentiments free and untrameled.

The Republican press by the temperate
words Of scquiesence, and philosophy in the
inevitable have shown an example that their

after to advantage As sample of the
harshest comment that has came under the

OUR SHIPPING INTEREST.

In direct connection with the condition
of our foreign trade is the condition Of our
merchant service The causes of the de
cline of our shipping are so well understood
that any remarks on this point are uuite
unnecessary. The humlliating fact stares
US in the face that while the United States
not many years ago led all natlous in ship
building, and was second only to Great Brit,
ain In ocean tonnage, it has almost
ceased to be recognized as a maritime
power; that nearly all Of our
agricultural productions and manufactured
goods which find a market in Europe or
South America and the articles received in
exchange for them are carried in foreign
ships. There is in my opinion, no pros
pect Whatever that the United States will
ever share to considerable extent in the
foreign carrying trade without Government
aid. 1t is for Congress to determine whether
rhis aid shall be granted, or whether our
foreign shipping interes. shall remain in its
present desth-ike condition.

the Secretary devotes considerable space.
Under the first head the report says:
The sll-importaut question that presses
itself upon the public attention is, how shall
the country be relieved from the plethora Of
Manufactured goods. and how shall plethora
hereafter be prevented? 1t is obvious that
our power to produce is much in excess Of
the present or any probable future demand
for home consumption. The existing irol,
cotton, and woollen mills, if employed at
their full capacity, could meet in six months
perhaps in q shorter time-the home de-
msnd for a year. II is certain, therefore,
that unless markets now practically closed
against Us are opened; unless We can share
in the trade which is monopoized by Eu-
ropean nations, the depression now so
severely felt viii continue, and may become
more disastrous
The question how shall our foreign trade
be increased is the question which nov
comes to the front and demands prompt
and careful consideration. Manufacturers
are primarily interested, but the whole
country has stake in Its solution. In its
investigation the tariff will necesssrislly be
involved, iuasmueh as the relations between
it and our foreign trade are so close that
they cannot De considered separately,
but it need not be involved except
so far as it stands in the way Of
trade. 1.-THE duties upon raw
materials are an obstruction, those duties
should be removed. If the duties upon
other articlesare anoSstruetion, they should
be modified. Whatever may be required to
increase our foreign trade, whether it be
repeal or modification ofexisiing duties,
