OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The Baltimore American thinks that
the restoration of our merchant marine
is matter that must shortly receive the
serious consideration Of Congress, and
adds that this country has a more ex-
tensive coast line and q larger number
of safe and commodious ports than any
nation of the earth. This is correct all
through, but who Is responsible for the
deplorable condition OF our merchant
the American belongs? And who is re-
sponsible for the unprotected condition
of the ports Of the country If 1t is not
the Republican party? Our merchant
marine" says our contemporary, Sin
1861 exceeded that of Great Britain by a
million tons" 1t does not think, how
ever. that It's decline was due to the navi-
cation laws, but rather to the outbreak
OF the civil war. There can be no doubt
about the war having something to do
with the decline OF the bust
ness. to be sure, but our con-
temporary will have to labor very hard
to convince the public that the war alone
was the cause OF the decline. In the
year referred to the Republicans were
in full control of all thu branches of the
Government. and remained so for years,
and say what it may, the American
knows full we'll that it was during Re-
publican control that the merchant ma
rine business OF the country went to
ruin. and not once has that party en-
deavored to restore 1t to its once mag
nIticent greatness.

BARBAROUS PROCEEDINGS.

some Twenty-Five presidents and mana
gers of the leading cotton mills in, New
England conceding advantages to the
South i'm cotton manufacture that are
of incalculab1a value. and a summary
OF these advantages Is as follows:
l. Cheaper cotton.

3. a better selection of the grades

4. Labor cheaper by 20 to 80 per cent.
b. Longer hours of labor.
