just voted against taking up the options
bill, and among tho negative votes was
found the name of the author of the meas.
ure, Butterworth.

acter In the foreign trade IL was the
natural result Of the Mckinley bill.

ests, said that in such a condition as the
country now found itself, with only l2L
per cent of the carrying trade: with Great
Britain e~ntrenched on every ocean route,
IL was obvious that IL was utterly out of
the power OF priv ate individuals, without
assistance in some direction, to dislodge
the shipping Of Great Britain.
Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, said three
causes constituted an effectunl barrier
against any attempt TO restore the Ameri-
can carrying trade. The first was the
difference Of cost between the American
and foreign vessels, the second was the
greater running expenses American yes
sells were under, and the third was the
harsh and restrictive features of our navi-
CATION laws, exncting heavy tonnage dues,
consular fees and other dues.
Mr.. Farquhar, replying, said it would
get the same "a all other steamship com
