nominations, the forteits being
comparatively light when the odds
are taken into consideration, For
the first year after the entry is
made the forfeit is only $40, the
odds therefore are $50, to $4,000

even the place money for second
and third places is greater than
the value OF the great majority OF

TALKING TO THE POINT.
REPUBLICAN SENATORS SPEAK OUT
IN MEETING.

Caucus Action on the Refusal to Send
Transacted by Congress - Cutcheon's
Peroration Against Fitz John Porter.
WASHINGTON CRY, FEB. lS.-There was a
caucus of Republican senators Wednesday
morning. The session was not OF great
length, but was productive of decisive ac-
ton A series of three resolutions was sub
mitted by Mr.. Edmunds:

tions have been made to fill vacancies ere

partments refuse to furnish to the senate in
formation called for, the nominees shall be
rejected.
3. Condemning the action Of the admins
tration in removing ex-Union soldiers and
sailors and appointing in their places civil
ians.
There was considerable discussion over
the resolutions, but they were adopted, and
Mr. Edmunds was instructed to submit
them to the judiciary committee before they
are reported to the senate

nuR OCEAN CARRYING TRADE.

There is reason to believe that the re
formers in congress will bring forward
during the present session measure to
do away with the present restrictions i'm
posed upon American shipping. 1t has
in fact been announced thet the house
committee on shipping will report bill
favoring free trade in ships. As might
be expected, this has already raised II
howl from tue small contingent which
represents the American ship building
industry, who regard the onslaught upon
their interests as the result of corrupt
bargaining with the possessors of British
gold. What, they cry, will become Of
this struggling infant industry if it is thus
permitted to come into competition with
cheap foreign built shipsS Considering
the fact that fifty years ago American
shipping was second to none in the
world, and at that time was very lusty
infant, it would seem that excessive cod
ding and fostering had brought it to q
premature old age. 1t is no longer an
infant, but in its dotage. and bids fair to
be extinguished altogether unless some
very radical measures are taken to restore
it to life and vigor by the removal of
some of the burdens which for several
decades past have been steadily crushing
out its life.
1t is not so much question of ships
building as of shipping. II foreigners
can build and sail ships cheaper and bet
ter than Americans-which is matter of
considerable doubt if our present dog in
the.manger system were abandoned-at
least shippers ought to be permitted to
take advantage of this circumstance
There is no reason why we should have
sacrificed our ocean carrying trade in or
der that Mr. Roach and few other build i.
ers should be able to maintain precious
footing, The carrying trade is an i'm,
portant and profitable industry, and if 1t
were anything like as large as it ought to
be would employ a thousand times more
capital and labor than arc now engaged
In the shipbuilding industry. 1t IS per>
fectly natural that shippers whose profits
are always narrowed down to very
small margin should desire to get their
goods carried as cheaply as possible, and
when it becomes question OF profit or
loss they do not care fig who carries
their goods for them, Under our pro,
tective system American vessels have
been made so expensive that they have
finally been crowded out of the market
altogether except for the coasting trade,
Of which we secure them a monopoly.
There is, of course, no doubt that Ameris
can shippers would prefer to own their
own vessels If they could buy them cheap
ly enough to sail them at profit. All
they want is an opportunity to share in
the benefits of a legitimate and lucrative
industry, from which they are now de
barred by fatuous legislation.
