Of beet sugar was 2,54G, 600 tons and in

success A full supply Of beets, cultivated

their stock was turned over TO trustees,
who issued trust certificates in payment for

From 1870 to 1885 England expended

1885 England spent So, so OOO in mail sub
sides while in 1883 we gave the munid
centjD sum of Sl95,sl9, which includes the
cost of the postal agencies for the work Of
carrying the foreign mails
our foreign shipping service is one of the
noblest examples Of free trade Strange
that it should fall 50 far behind the best
protected industry of England "Tarif
reformers' attribute this deplorable condi
ton to the "fact" that England builds so
much cheaper that we cannot compete, aud
would remedy it 10y removing the tariff
from materials, thus degrading our work
men But we have at the start signal
refutation Of the success of this method
inasmuch as Americans who engage in the
foreign carrying trade do not sail the cheap
foreign ships that they buy, and that the
free trader talks so much about, under the
United States flag.
History as well as observation shows
that protection is the only relief for our
of shore shipping. Prior to 1876 our sails
whitened every sea under the policy of the
fathers of protection. In 1876 restrictions
were removed Our shipping, bolstered up

gold continued to prosper for awhile and
then died out England, France and Ger
