assertion of Mr.. Beck. The question of

facturers Shipping represented 10 other

that the trade of the countries of this
continent belongs TO us and could be had
with but little effort.
Mr.. Ingalls, saw no reason why men OF
Maine or Massachusetts could not build
ships and sail them If they wanted 10 do
so. The reason they did not do so was

their money in other directions. Neither

Mr.. Beck further briefly discussed the
question before the Senate from tariff
point of view. In the course of his remarks
he maintained that labor was not protected
by 'proiection;" that three fourth. Of the
operatives of New England were French
Canadians, and that if the Government
meant to protect the workingman and not
the manufacturer. IL should see TO IL that
the workingman received his share of The
benefits from the duty instead of bis having
10 compete with cheap Canadian labor in
the New England mills.
MIR. Hawley denied the truth of Beck:

nccticut had in savings banks as much as
$92 COO coo. The debate then closed for the
day, aud il was arranged that AT 1 O'Clock
to morrow "A vote should be taken on ths

At 6 o'clock on motion OF Mr.. Cameron
an executive session of ten minutes dura.

been reOpened the Senate adjourned at

offered an amendment 10 the fertilization,
