The Grand Trunk'a Connection JSetween the United Statea ant Canada. Port Hunox, Mien., Aug. 20. The great railway tunnel under the St. Clair river was practically completed at 0:35 o'clock Monday forenoon. Chief Engin eer Hobsou of the Grand Trunk arrived at Sarnia early Monday morning in his pri vate car. He was the first man to pass through the tunnel, followed by Engin eers Murphy rtnd Fames, the Hon. C. Mc Kenzie, M. P., and Dr. Johnstone of Sar nia. The drift tunnel was practically finished at an earlier hour than stated above, but it remained for 'the chief en gineer to remove the last shovelful of earth. Sunday afternoon the . working forces on the Canadian and American side were passing tobacco, etc., through the hole bored bet ween the two shields, and conversation was carried on during the evening. A Ureat Engineering Feat. It remained for "the 8 o'clock shift" to remove the last of the earth. The whole working force on both sides passed through the tunnel. Six hundred people, all of whom are connected with the tunnel, have walked under the river from the United States to Canada and vice versa since its completion. This marks the completion of the greatest river tunnel in the world and probably the greatest piece of engin eering in this country. It is eleven feet longer than the Brooklyn bridge, and the difficulty of underground work compen sates for the finer work on that structure. The tunnel will not be in use for some months, as an approach 13,000 feet long is to be dug on the Canadian side and one of 0,000 on the Michigan side. ' PIGEONS FOR WAR SERVICE.

I AMERICAN SHIPPING. A RESUME, OF THE UNITED STATES MARITIME HISTORY. Treat lea wltU Other Xatlona England's Fart in Cautlng the Decline of Our Shlppl:i The Remedy Many Diffl eultlea ICncwuntered. From tlio closo of our revolution until July 4' 1789, thia country was without either Protection to its manufactures or to its shipping. 'England during thia time successfully proposed to regain and retain control of us as our manufacturer and carrier. Tho consequent poverty of the country was accompanied by riots, 6tay laws, insurrections and bitter class prejudices. The British influence with the cultivated New Yorkers was as marked as at the present day. In Bos ton and Charleston it was stronger, and it may be said that tho almost disloyal devotion of somo of the early demo cratic leaders to French interests and French ideas was a natural protest against this Anglomania then prevalent in our seaports. Among tho first laws passed by the congress of the United States wero those providing, besides duties ,4laid on goods, wares and merchandise imported," for a difference in port charges and in import duties in favor of American vessels, en acting tho important features of the English navigation act, which was framed for the joint purpose of weaken ing the powerful marine of Holland and 'to prevent any other nation from en grossing too large a portion of the navi gation of the rest of the world." The "restrictive clauses" of our act provided that vessels of a foreign coun try should import to this country only the products of their own country, so that an English vessel, for instance, was liable to confiscation if it brought a sin gle cask of French brandy or a piece of German cloth into this country, while an American vessel could load in any port with the produce of any part of the world. Tho 6teady enforcement of this law until 1850 justified Mr. Ricardo's as sertion in tho house of parliament that "with the dearest built and dearest manned ships in the world we forced them to give up to us two-thirds of the trado between this country and ours." In 1828, under tho plea "that trade should bo free, that all shackles 6h6uld bo stricken off, and that everything in navigation should be left to fair compe tition," a law was passed authorizing the president to repeal tho restriction clauses of our navigation laws in favor of any nation repealing the same clauses in their laws. Under this law treaties were negotia ted with the smaller maritime powers, and proclamations wero made by various presidents. But England, which, since causing the downfall of the Dutch mari time supremacy by the enforcement of her navigation act, had been the para mount marine power, did not agitate in parliament for tho repeal of her law till 1847. After long debates in the house of commons it was shown convincingly that, in fair competition, a nation with more ships, cheaper money and lower priced sailors and artisans was certain to win, and her navigation act was re pealed at the close of 1849, after it had made her the greatest maritime power, with tho hope, unfortunately for us well founded, of preventing by that repeal our passing her in the race by the same means she had used in her contest with TJolland. But another factor made its appear ance. Fifty years ago tho first steamers commenced plying between this country and England, under the auspices of the Great Western Steamship company. Mr. Cunard, of Ilalifax, went over to England and secured a contract for a lino from Liverpool to Ilalifax and Bos ton, with a subsidy of 60,000 per an num, though the agent of tho Great Western Steamship company testified ho would dp tho same work directly to New York for half the sum. By 1846 the subsidy had been "extended" to 90,000 for tho same number of voyages. When our government subsidized the Collins line Cunard hastened to England and had a line to New York subsidized at 145,000 per annum, testi fying before a parliamentary commit tee, "If I had got this contract three months sooner there would have been no American line." How Mr. Cunard proposed to change the plans and intentions of our senators and representatives in congress assem bled in so short a time as three months does not appear in his testimony. On June 14, 1858, President Buchanan signed a bill forbidding all future pay ments to American vessels of moro than sea and inland portage, and any con tract, for even that, for more than two years. In 1852 a committee of parlia ment had reported, "They attach great importance to a long and undisturbed term of contract as alono enabling them to incur the expenses necessary for a successful competition with their rivals." Also that Cunard's subsidy of 173,840 was to continue till July, 18C3. In 1858 this subsidy had been increased to 191, 400, or $934,032 per annum. At the same time a line to Galway, shortly after dis continued, was receiving 128,600, so that tho Collins line, with the lines to Uavro and Hamburg, had 6ca and inland portago offered them in competition with lines subsidized with $1,551,600. As Mr. Cobden suggested, they "ceased, because the American government with drew the subsidy." All know of the aid England gave to further tho decadence of ourshippiBg interests through tho Confederate cruis ers. Since the close of the war most of our newspapers and congressmen could not have labored moro unremittingly for tho extension of foreign shipping and the extinction of our own if they had been tho sole proprietors of tho foreign fleets. Taxes were laid on thevaluoof shipping whether employed or tied up instead of on their receipts, as in other countries. Tho measurement of our ves sels was so unfair that an American team ex was charged nearly twice us orach la our own ports even as tho same Bteamer would have paid under the Brit ish flag, a disadvantage which was not federally corrected in foreign ports. And consular charges and hospital fees : added to the disadvantage. I Now, for seventy-threo years all dif - ferential duties as far as our principal rival is concerned have been swept away. For thirty-eight years tho restriction clauses of our navigation laws havo laid dormant under a president's proclama tion, and for over thirty years both the school for seamanship and tho profits of the north Atlantio traffic have been closed against us, and wo are doing less than 15 per cent, of our carrying trade. There can bo no doubt that as a mat ter of national defense, for the control of access to tho markets which offer the largest and most profitable demand for our higher priced products, for the prof its of the carrying trade and tho em ployment ship building would give to tho sixty trades nnd occupations con cerned in that business, wo should again encourage ship building and ship own ing. The treaty negotiated with Great Britain in 1815 has expired by limita tion, but other treaties have been ne gotiated, giving the same privileges as regards duties, bounties and drawbacks, both on importation and exportation, to vessels under foreign flag3 as are enjoy ed by American vessels. These treaties would in many instances force us to al low the same differential duties and to pay the samo bounties on exportation, say of cotton cloth, to foreign vessels as were paid to vessels under our flag. Whether England could claim the same' duties and. bounties under the most fa vored nation clause might be a matter of debate. THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT. Shall the LI I Congreas Have a Majority of Free-traders or Protectionists? Congressional nominations are being made almost daily, and from the candi date's speech or letter of acceptance we can gather the principles that are to bo fought for this fall. Of course the tariff question is foremost. In fact it seems to bo the only issue. The Democrats aro evidently tiring of "tariff reform." and have decided to call things by their right names, and all give utterance to aboat tho same sentiments. The follow ing quotation from the speech of M. D. Harter, nominated by the Democrats of tho Fifteenth Ohio district, may bo taken as a tersely expressed specimen: "I would abolish every custom house in tho land. I would rather vote for the establishment of an institution to speed the cancer, or a field in which to propo gate cholera, or a school in which to teach vice and crime, rather than to vote for a protective tariff of any kind." These sentiments were uproariously applauded, showing that his views were heartily indorsed by all his would be constituents. The Democrats aro evi dently following tho lead of Henry George, who said in The Standard of April 30: "The tariff question will be renewed at the polls at the coming fall elections, and the duty rests with us the real Free traders of America to exerciso wisdom and display activity in assisting to bring Free-traders forward as candidates, and in helping to elect them when they are nominated." Well, this is what we want a good square fight. Let Protectionists in every district in the United States nominate only candi dates who declare themselves "uncom promisingly in favor of the American. system of Protection" and who can be relied upon to vote as they talk. The issue is plain and simple. Shall the Fifty-second congress have a major ity of Free-traders or Protectionists? Facta About Our Foreign Trade. From the quarterly report of the bu reau of statistics we cull the following facts: We exported more merchandise in value from 1879 to and including 1889 than we imported by $1,031,082,380, or more than one billion of dollars. In the same time we imported $163,629,753 more gold than wo exported, and ex ported $118,664,477 more silver than we imported. Our total imports and ex ports of merchandise in 1889 was $1, 597,632,831; of this amount the port of New York imported and exported $840, 702,708, or more than 50 per cent. Bos ton's total exports and imports in 1880 was $130,800,657; Philadelphia's, $82, 485,058; Baltimore's, $77,500,907, and Chicago's, $15,916,834. In our foreign carrying trade we, as usual, make a very poor showing. The foreign tonnage that entered our ports in 1882 was 13,191,500 tons. Our total American tonnage engaged in the for eign trade that entered our port3 during that year was only 4,041,065 tone. In the month of April, 1890, we imported $71,895,415 in valuo of merchandise, of which amount foreign vessels freighted $54,262,751 in value. Wo exported in the month of April, 1890, $03,495,791. Of this amount foreign vessels freighted $54,400,879. We probably paid foreign vessels in the month of April, 1890, about $11,000,000 for freight charges alone on our own imports and exports. Does this not show that something should be done to increase our commercial marine? Labor the Source of Wealth. Labor is the source of wealth. No other means of producing wealth have ever been or ever will be found. It must be wrung from the soil by patient toil; it must bo brought up from mines deep in the earth by the labor of man; it must bo coined from the forest by tho axman and the millman; it must bo wrought out from the raw materials by the skill, the patience and the kibor of human operatives. The curse of this imd all other communities today is that so many persons are trying to escape this heaven ordained law and to secure something for nothing wealth without laber of their own.
