THE CHINIQUY RIOTSs. the Cb ns oo io. o h H e S however, deprecate any attempt by Congress to modify or abrogate the Registry Laws so as to allow foreign ships to register on equal footing with their own built vessels. There is, however, a growing party in the United States, who are more liberal in their views, and do not object to the extension of theâ€"right of registryto foreigners; when we take into con sideration the growing popularity of iron vesâ€" sels and the loss of the Americans are susâ€" taining in the ocean trade, according to their own showing, by their high mtocfin policy â€"â€"it is more than likely that foreign built vessels to American ownersbip will receive more favor from Congress than it ever bas before. It is only on this side of the water that. we can expect: a market for our ships, and unless that market is found, Oolonhi‘ shipâ€"building may be considered among the the :trade,â€" they urge upon the Governâ€" | ment the necessity of tostering and encouragâ€" } ing the business by allowing the American ] ship builder an equivalent to all American | materials used by him in the construction of | the finished ship, equal to the amount of duty | which the Government would recevie were ; such materials of foreign production. Thay,l however, deprecate any attempt by Congress In 1865 there were 36 large vessels on the stocks in New York. At the present time there is only one, and the report goes on to say that beyond,all this he Americans bave the humiliating fact staring them in the face, that " the English and other foreigners do all the transâ€"Atlantic carrying trade. This n:fort does not pretend to hide the fact that ship building in the Kastern â€" States is completely ruined, and if material aid is not extended by Congress in the form of legislaâ€" tion, it cannot revive. A delegation from the New York Association for the restoration of American Shipping, presented to the Bpecial Committee ot the House of Represenâ€" tatives a remarkable document which corroborates _ the foregoing statements, After _ deploring the prostration _ of nage exceeded five and a balf millions ; in 1867 it fellbelow four millions.

No branch of business was ever so completely paralyzed in so short &a time 5 and any prospect of it reviving is most disâ€" couraging at the present time. But whilst we feel the loss to the general business of the country, it does not bear so heavily on us, as the decay in shipâ€"building on our neighbors in the Northern States. There we find that public opinion is expressing itself very ‘strongly _ for congressional _ ac. tlion in the interests of this trade. Comâ€" mercial conventions and shipâ€"owners‘ comâ€" mittces have published reports, " bewailing the..ruin of ship building, and. the serious decline of the transport trade." From one report we gather that in 1861 American tonâ€" On the North Shore, in years gone by, was one of the most important branches of indus» try. In Northumberland,in particular, a large amount of tonnage was on the stocks every winter, and the extent of employment given to our workmen, generally, was only second to the deal tmade.
