Lewiston Journal: We noticed that
Senator Frye's shipping bin comes in
for criticism from some Of the Bath
people, but We can hardly believe that
his opposition represents very con-
siderable interest or any Of the more
serious views Of the ship builders Of
that city. Ii should he remembered in
this matter. that the design Of tn"
Frye hill is to benefit not the indi-
vidual owner Of a share in a schooner
so much as it is To upbuild the mcr-
chant marine and extend the carrying
trade of the United States. If the small
owner is not benefited at the same
time that the entire condition Of the
merchant marine is improved, Their" will

few years would unquestionably re

give our American merchant marin,
an imprcgnahlc position in our for
cign trade for whose carriage We are
annually paying 800 millions to other
nations. 1t is agreed this bill sup
