Subsidleß vs. Free Ships. In 1855 therer were 881 ships and barks built in the UnitedStatesj in 1879 there were 87 barks and ships built in this country. It ia reported that the grain fleet dispatched from, the port of New York hi 1879 numbered 2,987 ves sels, oarrying 102,812,568 bushels of grain. AU of this tonnage included but one American, steamer and Only 71 American sailing Vessels. E. F. Noyes, our Minister to France, devoted six months-to the investigation of our com mercial lurrying trade m the Mediter ranean by order of the ’ State Depart ment. He'repotted that he experienced a sense ofrimmiliation at tho absence .of the American flag from the waters on which he looked. The Consul at Smyrna reports that while formerly as many as seventy-five or eighty vessels bad been seen in that port at one time, there were lust year but three, all told. We are now paying foreign nations an nually over $100,000,000 for the trans portation of our freight, and 920,000,- 000 for the carrying of our passengers and mails. We pay, that is to foreign ers, largely to England, $120,000,000 for carrying our products across the seas and bringing the things we wish to buy to our shores. The American flag hae disappeared from the high seas, and 61# mefehant -marine is ho more. Senator Heck, who is more and more distinguishing himself for critical and well-informed attention to the public interests, and Who is capable of Broad and National views as well as of atten tion to little things, recently made a notable speech in the Senate upon free ships. He was antagonized by Senator Blaine, who will be a conspicuous figure in the next Administration. The rem edy which Senator Blaine would apply to the decadence of the merchant ma riile of the United States in subsidies; The rehiedy which Senator Beck would apply to the decline of the comnteroid power of this country upon the high seas is free ships. Senator Blaine says that within thirty miles of his residence in a town which is the largest wooden ship-building place on the globe. He is in favor of a subsidy of about $1,000,'- 000 a year in the ship-building interest. Hl*., representing tbe Republican party. >^olo3’that since Congress has passed ninety-two acts witbin twenty years in aid of internal transportation by rail, and has given 200,000,000 acres of the i public lauds, worth to-day $1,000,000,- j 000, and has given also, in addition, ; $70,000,000 inTlash to railroad corpora tions,- Congress ought, for the sake of consistency, to subsidize tbe men and 'corporations that carry passengers and freight over the waters. This is a fair statement of the argument, as Senator Blaine presents ia It is consistent i with the subsidizing policy. The argu- , ment vividly reveals the pernicious ten- . denev of the subsidy policy. If A should be subsidized, why should not B also be subsidimd? The bill which Senator Beck asks Congress to pass provides that the sec tions of the Revised Statutes WMeh pro hibit citizens o. the United States from, purchasing shins built in other coim-. trie* to be used in the foreign carrying trade of the United - States, and which , impose taxew. buvdoas, or restrictions, > on such ships when owned by American ’ ctfizens, which arc. not imposed on ships built th the United States, shall be repealed, and that it shall be lawful for citizens of the United States to buy ships built in wheleor in port in foreign countries, to have Uiem registered as shi]>s of the United States, nnd when so registered such ships so bought are to bo entitled to all the rights and sub jected only to the same regulations as are now provided by law fob the gov ernment and management of shtpsbuilt wholly in the United States and owned | intd controlled by citizens of this coun- Ifrt. Senator Beck does not under ’kttind why American citizens should be prohibited from purchasing ships for the foreign trade in the cheap est market when all other na tions enjoy this privilege; While England, and France, and tier many, and Belgium, and Norway and Groden have the right to bring freights U» our ports and to carry freights from odr ports in foreign-built ships, it is not easy to see why the laws of the United States should select citizens of the United States to be alone ostracized . from this privilege. Ought tills Country to pay $120,000,000 annually to foreign ers for our carrying work to oblige a few ship-builders thirty miles from the residence of Senator Blaine? Subsidies are wrong in principle and vicious in practice. Frceaomis beauti ful in principle and equal and beneficent in practice- Senator Beck has this fundamental advantage over Senator Blaine in the discussion of this import ant subject. And the arguments of Senator Beck can not be answered, as Senator Morrill attempted te answer them, by saying that Mr, Beck, being from the interior State. of Kentucky, can know nothing Os commetce • on-the high seas.—Citannuali Enquirer.

Naturally enough, too, they arc asking this question: “ Will Mr. and Mrs. Oarfiejd go and 4° likewise?” And it is this question, vigbrously poked at him by letter, and pH vate deputations, which Is vexing the soul of the gentle man at Mentor: “Mr.-Garfield, like Mr. Hayes, takes a little now and then, but unlike Mr. Hayes, is quite willing his guests should have the same liberty. In other word's, he Is not disposed to en force the Maine law in the White House; yet he does not want - to alienate the temperance' people by abolishing it there.' • He would be glad to compro mise, . bnt compromise is impossible. The tempprance people, are as •* stal wart” in this matter as the other stal warts arc in regard to the Southern policy of the new-Administration. They insist that the table and sideboard rule of 1877-81 shall be adopted in 1881-5, and that not a drop of the juice of gritpe, com or rye shall be allowed ex cept for medicinal purposes. ' ■ So the case stands at present. Mr. Garfield , has not fully decided what he will do. and is sorely perplexed in coin ing to a decision. Cabinet construction is easy compared to it, for if one piece of timber does not suit he can put in another; blit it must be total abstinence or nothing. If the former, he will dis pleasehimeelf aud three-fourths of. those whom he entertains, and if the latter, he is sure to provoke a storm of anti alcoholic wrath. From the best ob tainable information on this inteiestiug and important subject the probabilities are that the rule of 1877-81 will be sus- f tended on and after the 4th prox.; at cast for all dinners to which company is invited. At any. rate it is rumored that Mr. Garfield leans toward a mildly spirituous regime, and that while still open to conviction, it will require a prompt and vigorous advance of the temperance army to hold the fort so gallantly held by the Hayses.— St. Louis Kqpubliean.
