CRAMP ON SHIPPING.
VIEWS THE QUESTION AS 1T
AFFECTS THE NATION.
Protection for American Ships Dis
cussed from Ship-Builder's Point of
View - England Straining Every
Nerve to Perpetuate Her Sea Power.
Letter to- Senate Committee.

A meeting of representatives OF the
shipping interests was held in the room
of the Senate Committee on Commerce at
Washington. Among those present were:
G. A. Griscom, w. P. Clyde, Il. w. Hyde,
A. r. Smith, G.. H. Cramp, Samuel 5.
Sewall, H. P. Booth, e. Bliss, Aaron Van
derbilt. D. G.. Mink, +. j. Firth, G. H.
Keep, ex-senator G. +. Edmunds and
Senators Frye, Elkins, Hanna and Per-
kins. The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of promoting legislation looking to
the encouragement of American shipping.
There was a general exchange of views.
Senator Elkins' bill providing for dis
eliminating duty on goods imported in
American vessels afforded basis for
much of the proceedings, but there was a
want of unanimity of opinion upon all of
its provisions. Mr.. Griscom presided and
the meeting was private.
Several addresses were made during the
day by those in attendance, one of the
most important being the following decid-
edly interesting and important letter from
Charles H. Cramp, Esq, president of the
Cramp Shipbuilding Company. 1t pre-
sents the shipbuilders' side of protection
for American ships very forcibly:
Sir: We have to deal with real facts and
owning and ship-buildng are identical,
because no nation can successfully own
ships that cannot successfully build them.
No nation can either build or own ships
when. unprotected and unencouraged, it
is brought in competition with other ma
tions that are protected and encouraged
This is the existing condition of the
ship-owning and shiplbuildng interests of
the United States.
THE resulting fact is that the enormous
revenue represented by the freight and
passenger tolls on our commerce and
travel is constantly drained out of this
country into British, German and French
pockets, in the order named, but mainly
British; while the vast industrial incre-
ment represented by the necessary ship
building inures almost wholly to Great
Britain.
For this drain there is no recompense
It is sheer loss. 1t is the principal cause
of our existing financial condition.
So long as this drain continues no tariff
and no monetary policy can restore the
national prosperity.
Until we make some provision to keep
at home some part at least of the three
hundred and odd millions annually sucked
out of this country by foreign ship-own-
ers and ship-builders, no other legislation
can bring good times back again.
1t is Il constant stream of gold ALWAYS
flowing out
The foreign shp-owner who carries our
over-sea commerce makes us pay the
freight both ways.
For our exports we get the foreign mar
ket price less the freight.

Deserving the silver Cause.

Commencing with this week, this paper
will again champion the cause of sound
money. 1t believes in an honest dollar.
A dollar that is just as good as any other
dollar, and that is gold one. The people
must learn that 62 cents is not dollar.
They must understand the relative values
of the two metals before passing judg-
ment upon their stability as circulating
medium. With this end in view the Chron-
icle will labor until satisfactory result
is obtained.--Portland, Ore, Chronicle.

No Debauch, This.

President Mckinley has just returned
from a short trip for recreation down the
Potomac 1t is mentioned that in taking
his wife and two other ladies along he
differed from the practice of President
Cleveland upon such occasions, who was
rather convivial in his tastes, and more
of Bohemian in his habits. In manners
and morals, as well as in breadth Of
craftsmanship, our present national execu-
tive is an improvement upon the one who
preceded him, although as a fisherman
and duck hunter he may not be up to the
tandard.-Louisville Commercial.

Dreary Imbecility.

"The Democratic criticisms of the new
tariff" says the Inter Ocean, "are drear-
lily imbecile." The language is strong, but
what else can be said of criticisms that
are essentially imbecile in argument and
most vapidly dreary in language. No
other phrase can so accurately present the
exact nature of the attacks which the
free trade orators and organs are now
making upon the bill which is designed to
provide protection for our industries and
an adequate revenue for our Government.

Jim liked music, and would cuddle
down on his mistress shoulder while
she practioed on the piano, closing his
eyes and looking as happy as a bird
could look. One of his accomplishments
was an odd series of movements, called,
by courtesy, a dance. :.
Jim took very kindly to all the tricks
that were taught him, and would do
them when he wished to coax his mis-
tress for some indulgence. He could
shoulder arms, play dead, find what his
mistress hid, fire tiny cannon, come
at whistle-indeed, he learned nearly
all those things that bird can. He
had some original ones. He delighted
In teasing the dog. He would stand on
his back when the. dog was asleep, and
with his sharp bill twitch the dogs
hair. When the dog arose in despair OF
ever getting his nap. Jim would cav In
mirth. Jirn's jokes were OF the practical
joke kind, and rarely gave their victim
any pleasure He would steal klttys
meat from Under her very nose, and
kitty had no means Of retaliation. He
was not averse to nipping Nellie's ankles
if he could while she was at work in the
kitchen or hanging out clothes. Nellie
did not approve of Jim. She thought:
"The thaving, knowing bird. Sure he's
the very divil himself
Jim lived in country city, and was
given freedom to range as he would.
He never touched anything in the gar
den-~-probably because he was we'll fed
at home. His wings were clipped so
that he could not fly away, though ne
showed no desire TO do so during the
first year of his life When the spring
came again Jim seemed restless, and
one day he did not come back. His
wings having grown, he had flown into
the woods to visit with others of his
kind, who were not less cheerful COM
panions that they lacked all the train
ing Of the higher education. He stayed
win them day OR so, then went back
to his mistress, showing his delight at
seeing her by nesting on her shoulder
and kissing her. After a short stay
with her he again went to the woods
He lived there during the early sum
mer, making visits now and then to re-
mind his mistress of him. When the
summer began to wane Jim came home
to wander no more.
Had not Jim been cut off in the bloom
of his youth more wonderful things
might, perhaps, have been chronicled OF
him. He died, q victim Of his curiosity.
In a field, where he often went for ex-
ercise, he saw a. man with an odd thing
at his shoulder. Instinct had been SO
eliminated from him by his training
that it did not say to him: "This COM
bination is fatal to your family Jim
had learned to look upon man as rather
a good thing for crows, supplying him
with bright playthings or goodies, 50
instead of flying home at once Jim lit
ON the ground in 'front.' OF him. The man
fired just as Jim began to say: "Hullo!"
and his aim was good.
Jims body now lies under pine tree,
aud the memory Of his cunning ways
lives with those, who knew him. =.

AND SHE NEVER KNEW.
A Horrid Man Wanted the Girls t.
Tell Her.

A Horrid Man Wanted the Girls to
Tell Her.
There had been several good speakers
before Miss Susan Bloomfield pulled
down her vest, ran finger around the
edge of her collar and advanced to the
edge of the platform. She was large
woman, with moles upon her chin and
cheeks and a complexion like piece of
breakfast bacon; but she had convinc-
ing way of shaking the index finger
of her right hand, and she was frequent
ly applauded by her enthusiastic sis
ters.
After she had dwelt at length upon
the injustice of depriving women of the
privilege of suffrage and had held man
up as an inferior animal, whose speedy
determination was all that could pos
sibly save the world from going to de-
siruction, she exclaimed:
"And now they want to tell US what
we must wear! Uaughter.) They seek
to measure our skirts for us and to die
tate the style of our sleeves! (Groans)
Shall we submit tamely to this oppres-
sion? (Cries of mo, no!") Shall we
permit these bipeds, who, according to
one CT their own number, have de-
scended from monkeys (hilarious
shouts) to foist their ideas of beauty
upon US? And this brings me to the
main point of my argument. What
makes woman beautiful? That is the
question-what makes her lovely?
What"
But at this point a meek-looking man
who had been listening quietly to the
roasting of his brothers arose and said:
Girls, if any of you know, don't keep
it back. Tell her. Don't let her go away
from here without knowing, if you can
help it."
He then grabbed his hat and ran, and
the meeting broke upin wild confusion.

CLEANING THE TREASURY.

Work Is Done Daily by Il Small Army
of Charvroncn.
There are something like IL miles
of corridors in the great treasury build
ing at Washington, with hundreds upon
hundreds of rooms, large and small.
1t requires a small army to keep these
corridors and rooms clean and in or
der. Floors must be scrubbed, carpets
swept, baseboards and windows cleaned
and the debris of busy day removed.
This work is done by women, who re-
ceive compensation of $40 month.
The duties are laborious, back-break-
ing, joint-cracling and conducive to
rheumatism, yet there is actually as
keen and spirited demand for places on
the charwomen list by people in that
class as there is for clerical positions by
people of another class.
1t is an interesting sight to watch
these scores Of charwomen when they
report for duty in the afternoon, just
before The close of Office hours. Ac-
commodations are provided for them
upon a long line of wooden benches
in the basement of the building. They
gather half an hour before the re-
quired time, and find opportunity
thereby for gossip. At least that is
supposed to be the reason why they
come before their time. Their case is
unique in this respect. They are the
only employees of the government in
Washington who are anxious to get to
their offices before the time for GO
ing to work. Their labors are finished
in two or three hours.
The greater number of these women
are past middle life, most Of them are
fat and the majority have an accent.
The little Stipend of $50 month is
the principal support of family in
many cases, and when the poor crea
lures are discharged it means a great
deal to them. 1t is often said that it
is harder for an official to discharge
charwoman than to dispense with the
services of a $1,000 clerk, for in the
one case, while he has to stand off a
congressman or politician, in the 9th
er he has TO meet the weeping and wall
ing of poverty-stricken woman. who
possesses a wealth of tear-bedewed
pleadings that would move ieart of
stone to Ditv.-N. Y. Press.

PEACHES WITHOUT DOWN.
Remarkable Results of Maryland
HorticuIturist's Experimenting.

HorticuIturist's Experimenting.
Mr.. William p. Winter, retired car
penter, who lives tho. S26 North Carey
street, has entered heart and soul into
the wizard business with remarkable
results. In cozy little back yard of
Mr.. Winters home grows peach tree
that has produced annual crops of
luscious fruit for a number of years.
Two years ago Mr.. Winter grew weary
of the conventional covering Of the
peaches in his limited orchard, and de-
termined at least to produce peach
minus that Objectionable nap or down.
He began a series of experiments,
and that year produced peach clothed
in the ordinary raiment of the banana;
but not satisfied with the result of his
startling assault on nature, he has sue
ceeded in producing crop, which is
just now ripe, that looks for all the
world like a tree full of apples. The
skin of the fruit is perfectly smooth
and of dark red hue, shading grad
ually into yellow that Mr.. Winter
claims is a remnant of the banana skin.
Next year." said he, Il will have an
orange skin on them"
The method employed by Mr.. Winter
to produce these startling results is
profound secret, and he is preparing to
copyright the scheme. Grapevines, as
well as peach trees, tremble before the
skill of the ex-carpenter, and among
the curious things that thrive in the rear
of SIG North Carey street is a vine of
this sort that bears at this time ripe
grapes as sweet as honey and usually
large, half-ripe grapes, blossoms and
buds, which Mr.. Winter expects to ripen
by Observation-Disclosures American.
