The navigation laws Of the Republic
were enacted for the encouragement
and protection of the American mar
inc. They protect as the protective
tariff protects No account is taken Of
sections or communities. Any one IA
miliar with the history of protective
tariffs in America knows thaItime and
again Individual interests much Iarg-
er than the entire aggregate of the
sugar interests of these Islands, have
been sacrifced-almOst annihilated-
by the revenue laws. The vicissitudes
of the wool industry shows it. The
shoe and leather industry shows il TO
some extent
If the navigation laws passed in the
interests of protection, are a burden
on our local industries. the burden is
not singular. Other parts of the coun-
try share it more or less. Sacrifice,
and in some cases very great sacrifices,
are made for the benefit of the whole
community
Whether Congress should or should
not suspend the operation of the laws
in special cases cannot be matter of
debate, if the Constitution forbids
such suspension. 1t is important that
this matter should be well considered

The deceased had been sick only a few
DAYS. He attended the launching OF the
battleships at Newport News on Thurs
day last, making the trip with the MEM
bers of the City Council. He was at his
most as usual on Friday, and IL was du-
ring the evening of that day that he first
complained of being unwell. The next
day ne was unable to leave his room,
and the family physician was summoned.
THE latter saw that the case was
rather grave one. but did not think Il
was necessarily serious Mr.. Adamss
condition grew much worse Tuesday. and
that night he was unconscious. IN which
state he remained until the end came.
Congestion OF the brain was the imme-
date cause of death.
The deceased was born In Charles City
county fifty-one years ago. During the
last two years OF the war he was station
ed M Drewry's Bluff. being a member OF
the marine corp. Al the close or the

that the death sentence should be COM
