%Shipbuilding Uunder Democratic and
Republican Rule,

The Democratic Commissioner of
Navigation's last report, that for the
fiscal year ending in 1895, shows some
rather startling figures of shipbuilding
conditions under Democratic and Re-
publican rule, which it is worth while
here recording.
During the administration of Gar.
field and Arthur, preceding the first
administration of Grover Cleveland,
the total tonnage of all vessels built in
the United States amounted to 1853.
672. During Mr.. Cleveland's first term
the tonnage of all vessels built aggre.
gated but $3.50 tons, a decrease of Al
per cent. During the administration of
Benjamin Harrison the tonnage of all
vessels built in the United States rose
again to 1904, 1872, being an increase in
the amount of construction over that
built under Grover Cleveland's admin
istration of just "a per cent. During
the first three years of Grover Cleve-
land 8 second administration the vessels
built in the United States aggregated
467, 4S6 tons, as compared with a con.
struction of 1914, $50 under the first three
years of Benjamin Harrison's admins
tration, or a fall since the Republicans
lost control Of the government, of 40
per cent.
1t is not difficult to understand, from
these figures, why it is that a large ma
jority, in fact about all, of the ship.
builders and shipowners of the
try are strongly Republican.

All the immense plumber of the RIMS
is taken TO the King. 1t is sorted by

Gold. silver, iron, jewels, cloth and pro
visions are collected in great lots and
placed in caves. Each cave is guarded

justice TO the Riff it may be told that
he has not always taken the life OF the
crew OF the plundered vessels. He is
after the booty. not after life, and If
that is freely given up to him he Will
return. In this he differs from the pi-

When the Ailsa and the Britannica, re-
turning from the races on the French
were suddenly fired upon in
calm, the attacked vessels had to ad-
init that they were dealing with the pl-
rates of the Middle Ages. The attack
ing boats were catamarians with sharp
points and one sail, which sent them
along before the least breeze like shot
from a gun. The heavy Ailsa and the
great Britannia were useless in a calm,
but it was the Riff pirates opportunity.
That they escaped was due only to the
heavenly breeze that sprang up.
THE PIRATES HOME.
The religion of the Riff pirates, for
they are a race of established an
cestry. is a mixture of Mohammedan-
ism and Christianity. They are Moors.
and they are the Barbary Rangers, who
were famed as long ago as stories were
written. Water devils" they were
called by the peaceful jewellers of South
ern Europe land the citizens of Nor
Deco.
But there they have lived for hun
dreds of years, never adding to their
number and never intermarrying with
other races, until now they have the
most powerful savage kingdom on the
globe. Their worship is partly a fire
worship. Yet they have reverence for
the crucifiX, and in their rude homes
there are church ornaments, crosses
and beads. carefully treasured from thu
lOoting of the ships Their business is
that of plumber, and TO their barbarian
way of looking at it it is a legitimate
means of livelihood.
The sway of the Riff King is the most
absolute one TO be imagined. He car
ries always in his hand a club and is
armed TO the teeth with knives and ri
ties. INSTRUMENTATION, any attempt to
usurp his power, any failure to give up
plumber. is punished by him with in
slant death. He lives in a cave, low,
but OF great depth, and at a roaring fire
in front of it his food is prepared. There
are no women in his shore household.
and his slaves are Riff pirates who are
chosen by him to work for him.
Reports of him declare him to revel
in the bloodshed Of his pirate slaves.
Tales Of his cruelty fill the Barbary
,, coast. When plumber is not brought in
fast enough, and when attacks are made
upon the pirate band, the rage OF the
! King is ungoveFnable, and with his
great bone club he fells his slaves
