Our Merchant Marine.
Congress should give prompt attention
10 the restoration OF our American mer-
chant marine, once the pride OF tbs seas
In all the great ocean highways of COM
merce. To my mind, few more important
subjects so imperatively demand its in
telligent consideration. Inc United States
has progressed with marvellous rapidity in
every Held OF enterprise and endeaVor un-
til we have become foremost In nearly all
the great lines OF inland trade, commerce
and Industry. Yet, while this is true, our
American merchant marine has been stead
lily declining until IL is now lower, both In
percentage of tonnage and the number of
vessels employed, than II was prior to the
civil war. Commendable progress has been
made of late years In the upbuilding of the
American navy, but we must supplement
these efforts by providing as proper con-
sort for 1t merchant marine amply sufii-
cient for our own carrying trade to for
eign countries. The question Is one that
appeals both to our business necessities
and the patriotic aspirations of a great
people.

that condition is realized, when the pa rity

But the present must not become the per-
manent condition Of the government. II
has been our uniform practice TO retire,
not increase our outstanding obligations,
and this policy must again be vigorously
enforced. Our revenues should always be
large enough to meet with ease and
promptness not only our current needs a nd

debt. but to make proper and liberal pro-
public creditors. TIE soldiers and sailcrs

Restoration of Reciprocity Laws.
In the revision of the tariff, especial at
tention should be given to the reenactment
and extension of the reciprocity principle
OF the law of 1880, under which so great a
stimulus was given to our foreign trade
In new and advantageous markets, for our
surplus agricultural and manufactured
products The brief trial given this legis-
lation amply justifies further experiment
and additional discretionary power in the
making of commercial treaties, the end in
view always to be the opening up of new
markets for the products of our country, by
granting concessions to the products of
other lands that we need and cannot pro-
duce ourselves, and which do not involve
