l recommend that such appropriations be
made for ocean mail service in American
steamships between our ports and those OF Cen
tral aud South America, China, Japan and the
important islands iii both of the great oceans,
as will be literally remunerative for the service
rendered and " /. encourage the establishment
aud in some fair degree equalize the chances of
the American steamship lines in the compeu-
tions which they must meet. That TIE Amer
lean States lying south of us will cordially CO.
operate in eStabl iShiug and main aiming such
lines of steamships to their principal ports,
do not doubt
We should also make provision for q naval
| reserve, to consist Of such merchant fhiIs OF
American construction and OF specific tonnage
and speed, as the owners will consent to place
at the use of the Government, in case OF need,
as armed cruisers. England has adopted this
policy. and as Il result can now, upon necessity,
afionce place upon her naval list some of the
| fastest steamships in the world Proper vessels
would make their conversion into effective
| ships of war very easy.
/ am an advocate of economy in our national
expenditures, but it is misuse Of terms to make
| this word describe policy that wlthholds It's
expenditures for the purpose OF extending our
| foreign. commerce. The enlargement aud
| improvement CT our merchant marine, the
development of sufficient body OF
| trained American seamen, the promotion
| of rapid and regular mail communication
between the ports of other countries 4nd
| our own, and the adaptation of large ma swift
| American merchant steamships to naval uses ia
| time of war are public purposes OF the highest
order.
The enlarged participationtof our people in
| the carrying trade. the new and increasing
markets that will be opened for the product OF
| our farms ard factories: the fuller and better
employment of our merchants, which will re-
| suit from a liberal promotion OF our foreign
commerce, insure the widest possible diffusion
of the benefit TO all these states, and to all our
people.
Everything is in most propittious condition
| for the present inauguration of liberal and
progressive policy upon this subject, aud we
| should enter upon it with promptnees and de-
cision. The legislation which have suggested,
il is sincerely believed. viii promote the peace
| and honor o. our country, and the prosperity and
security Of the people.
I invite the diiGent and serious attention OF
Congress to the consideration OF these and such
other measures as may be presented having the
same end in view. (-ignedi,

A table presented by the Secretary of tie
Treasury. showing the amoI Mt of money of all
kinds in circulation each year from 1875 to the
present time is of interest. It appears that the
amount OF National Bank notes in circulation
has decreased during that period S1lI, l09 729 of
which SS7, ~ 229 is chargeable to the last year
The withdrawal of bank circulation will
necessarily continue under existing conditions.
1t is probable that the adoption of the suggestion
made by the Comptroller of the Currency, viz:
That the minimum deposit of bonds for the es-
Establishment OF banks be reduced, and that an
issue of notes to the psr value Of the bond be
allowed, would help to maintain the bank Cir
culation but while this Withdrawal OF bank
notes has been going on. there has been large

cucumber vines, when they are ready
to bloom, to grow cucumbers inside of
the bottles, SO that when the vegetable

To see him bow, with inborn'grace,

More About the Roads.
Editor Of the News :.

In reply to the criticism Of al. and
Progress" l fail to discover a pract;-
cal idea advanced by them, except some
scientific hypothesis. They admit tho
probability Of asphalt and gravel
streets and roads; so do I. The scien
tifc problems Of III" are unknown in
the science Of agriculture. Sub-soill
or underground drainage that he calls
it, beg to inform him, but few tiles
are used now a-dsys; stone has super
ceded tiles in sub-soil drainage in this
country and in Europe. Again, his
problem about the elm tree is rather
amusing BY the way Of comparison,
l refer him to the cypress tree, that
lives in water. What beautiful idea
"H.' gives the readers Of the EVENING
News about his tile drain, covered
over with Bermuda grass, in his back
yard. know Of several yards in this
city, without tile drainage, covered
with Bermuda grass, that will COM
pare favorable with his. l ask the
question, what has tile drain to do
on private lot, alongside Of tile
road that stock is supposed to be con-
tiuually travelling overY Again ask,
who is the benefactor Z?
With rod in hand that will bore holes
to allow the water to penetrate through
it, that III" pictures In "his tale Of
the tub" oh" acknowledges that
philadelphia avenue in Washington
City is made Of asphalt, and that it is
as smooth as Aoor.' From those re-
marks am inclined to believe that he
knows more about Washington City
than he does about Texas waxy land,
or the cost of asphaltine. For his i'm
formation l will state that the Texas
coast, from Sabine river to the Rio
Gaande, is covered with asphaltine.
Thousands Of tons OF it can be gather.
ed on Matigordia peninsula. If al"
asks any farmer that cultivates black
land in this state why they plant their
corn in ridges instead of in burrows as
they do on other soils, they will tell
him by so doing it will prevent their
seed from rottlng in the ground, in
case Of rainy season.
My enlightened critic "Progress" is
somewhat like ship wrecked sailor;
"any port in storm" He is not par
ticular whether roads arc made out of
cotton bales or baled hay, 80 that they
are passable. For his inform alton
will endeavor to answer his questions:
First-A bed Of gravel exists but a
few feet under the surface, extending |
south from Jackson street. beyond the
city limits, between First and Second
streets Witness the gravel at the
Webster street sewer and that in the
lakewood cemetery.
Second-The estimated cost Of as
phaltine would be the cost Of gather
ing it and the transportation. Of the
same.
Third refer you to H. s. re-
marks about Philadelphia avenue in
Washington City. l will add that
such roads should be- made in dry |
81 have no axe to grind" l merely
express my views, as / did about the
Telford pavement som, years ago that
the contractors destroyed better streets
than they put down. l have more
faith in practice than l have in theory
or science. j. A. JAMES.
