 The bill under discussion was that which confirms the extension of the coast wise trade laws to the trans-oceanic trade be- tween the United States and th" Philip pines, exempting the inter-island traf- fic.
 "As American workmen building ships" he. said, we are practically obsolete. am proud of the history of the Ameri- can merchant marine, but am humiliated to think of its downward course of late years. At the plant of Arthur Sewall & Co, at Bath, Maine, it was my pride and pleasure to work on the first steel sail ship built in an American yard. Now I am humiliated to know that the plant Is tied up and the only profit in 1t is the rust eating up the machinery. Look for the merchant marine building at Sparrows Point there is not mi- croscope powerful enough to find 1t. The ship yards are depending on Uncle Sam for a bare existence. At Newport News you are building naval vessels of the
 first class, to protect what? Not our commerce, for we have none."
 Mir. Crawford criticized Senator Cor mans course in favoring internal im- provements in preference to a navy. We have 20, 900 men belonging to our brother hood walking the streets to-day clean- ing bricks at a dollar and a quarter a day. when if given a chance to exercise their art they would be receiving $350 a day.

Are the American mechanics of to-day to be sacrificed to the little brown man. have heard the howl of the cordage trust which has de- stroyed cordage factories. They have made millions since the occupation of the Philippines Shame to you and to me, 1t is that American goods go in Brit ish tramps or French subsidized vessels (Applause).
 "1t is unique spectacle" continued MT. Crawford ito see labor coming to Congress to plead the. cause of capital. hope in the future capital and labor will cooperate so we can bud ships as cheap on this side of the water as on the l other Give us the work and it will stimulate our pride where now we have to hang our heads in shame. Do you wonder why we do not excel in the art of shipbuilding? It is because we have been driven from San Francisco to Newport
 News and from Maine to Splrrow's Point in search of work. Pierpont Morgan and
 his associates found to their cost the folly of trying to rehabilitate the Ameri- can merchant marine by grasping the tonnage of another Country.
 Tt seems that everything is being done 7 to prevent the American flag from float ing on the seas," continued Crawford in a pathetic tone. You are voting to-day on the naval bill providing for great hattleships and cruisers not equaled by those of Johnny Bull himself. to guard what?

 s. 8. Sewall of Arthur sewaIl and Com pany, Bath, Me, the largest owners of sailing vessels in the United States, pointed out that the cordage interests which had opposed the bill had practical ly abandoned the fight and had gone home. Rates were so low, he said, on the Pacific coas: that tonnage to the amount or lA,OOO tons Is lying idle in San Fran cisco harbor. This condition of affairs he ascribed to the cutting of rates by the French sailing vessels which received such large subsidies from the French government that they can sail half round the world in ballast. The French subsi oy pays the entire cost of operating the French sailing ships and almost all tho insurance, so that whatever is paid for freight is profit to the owner
 Alfred Winsor of Boston, President of the Boston Steamship and Towboat Com pany, stated that he had live ships in the Oriental trade running between Pu- get Sound and the Orient and competing with the subsidized Japanese and Cana dian lines. He predicted that freight rates would not increase materially and stated that he had recently closed con tract for one year at a prico slightly higher than that which he was now get ting.
 MT. Winsor was questioned by Repre sentative Stevens concerning statement eY Quartermaster General Humphreys before the Committee on Military Af- Fairs to the effect that MT. Winsor did not care for the government business as he was making immense profits in the Oriental trade, one of his ships clearing SbO,OOO on an outward and $s9,000 on a homeward voyage. That statement is most absurd,'' said Mir. Winsor. ''Is it talse?" asked Representative Wilson
 Absolutely false" was the emphatic re- ply. He maintained that he wanted vol tune of freight in preference to increased lTaees.

STOMACH TROUBLE.

Stomach trouble is the most distressing afliction known to humanity, and take; on so many forms that 1t is often impos' sible for those without medical educa- | tion to decide from a patients symptoms as to just what particular ailment is aflicting them. People suffering from this dread disease become nervous and cannot sleep. They have belching and sourness of the stomach, bad dreams, acute stomach pains, or collie, a feeling of fullness after meals, appetites varying from ravenous to that where there is nc desire for food.
 They have indigestion, constipation, heartburn, yellow skin, coated tongue. bad taste in the mouth, liver trouble, and catarrh of the stomach.
 Now all these symptoms mean simply that the stomach has grown weak, and is not properly digesting the food given 1t. The intensity of action in modern life, the nervous strain in business and so- ciety, and the improper mastication of the food all contribute their share towards bringing about this condition. Many preparations have been offered to the public for the relief of those suf- fering from stomach trouble which aid temporarily only, for after a little the patient feels worse than before treatment. Within the last SIX months, however, there has been perfected a remedy for ali these ailments, which absolutely reaches the seat of disease and positively cures any and all troubles of the stomach, 1 bowels, lungs and throat.
 It relieves inflammation, builds up the system, enriches the blood, strengthens the various organs of the body, and is guaranteed not only to give immediate relief, but effect a permanent cure. This remedy is known as Milks' Emulsion, and is wonderfully beneficial to children as well as adults. Its effect on the sick is immediate, and one bottle will give sat isfactory results or your money will be returned by your druggist. Price soc. per bottle.

You would not have us degrade ourselves. wear poorer clothes, live in poorer houses and eat cheaper food so that we can compete with the foreign workmen. would you? If you would, then you could crush us and we would never have the aspirations of true acitizens.
 Go along the Great Lakes from Buffalo to Duluth. On the Cam adian side you see bleak shores on the American side populous cities. For why? Because the carrying trade of the lakes is fully protected. But what do you find on the coast? You find American shipping entirely at the mercy of foreign subsidized vessels. I appeal for sympathy not only for the little brown man but for the 20.OO0 American mechanics seeking work in American shipyards."

The unusual spectacle was presented Thursday afternoon of some fifty of the leading shipbulders, ship owners and merchants of the United States joining with members of Congress in a spon- taneous and hearty burst of applause of the words of an every day workman. The rude eloquence of Dor Id Crawford, of Baltimore. representing the Brother hood of Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuild- CTS in pleading the cause of American workmen in the ship building business swept the members of the committee and the spectators from their feet and at the close of his remarks the applause lasted for several minutes.

 "Is the darkness I feel in the soul, or in the windows through which I see?'
 Rev. Dr. Robert Collier When man is lost, in darkest hour. With stars obscured. sun far away And angry clouds begin to lower, There's light within to show the way. This light will lead on up to Him, And burns illumes with warmth aglow Along the path. though eyes be dim, Of him who feels another's woe. But God help him! who cold with greed, Will turn deaf ear to cry of pain, For then this light in time of need, Goes out and will not burn again. Fen when man lived in savage night, And through the jungle groped his way This soul lamp gave to him the light That led him out to open day.
