Bates before the National Ship ping League at "Washington, will be read with interest by all who desire this country to resumo her proper position upon the sea, with ships built of Ameri can material, which is abundant and available, and by American labor which was never more readily ebtainable: what is a smr? Mr. President what is a ship? and why is she the indispensable requirement tho very thing needful for a maritime nation? Sir, a sea girt state must stand, one foot on the sea the other on the land. Every ship she builds widens her domain; every ship she owns nets a public gain: every flag apeak signals national power; every man employed makes the state secure. Nations that cannot build their ships cannot bridge the seas, carry on their trade, or meet their enemies. "Without the naval power acquired from merchant fleets we must pay our homage to the stranger in our streets. It is thfa naval power coming from the building and the using of ships that is of priceless value to a nation like our own republican, free and peaceful; industri ous, prosperous and rich; a shining mark for the envy, hate and greed of Europe. It matters not if true, that foreign flags can build and carry cheaper than our own. The national life and public safety must not be exposed to sure destruction through the want of a merchant marine. Statesmanship alone should deal with the question of ships. No miserable economy should smash, sink and destroy the real means of our maritime defence. Ships are engines of war no less than tools of trade. Not only gun carriages, but ramparts and fortresses. Not only outlying parts of the national do main, but tho outworks, fortifications, and champions of the nation. Shipbuild ing and navigation are classed with the military science1?. Their constant prac tice prepares the country to defend its rights, to preserve its freedom, and main tain its rank. "Without shipwrights and seamen wo can exert no naval power. The men who build and sail our ships may not be many, and may be poor; but in the modern world, in terms of vantage and times of war, they are worth as much as all our farmers are. It takes all classes and every industry to fill the nationnl want. FEDERAL WISDOM. Our industries were never more pre dominantly agricultural than at the for mation of . the Orovernment; but the teachings of history were then well known and wisely applied to eyery branch of the public interest. Our fathers wore not ignorant that no maritime people ever became strong and dominant, much less independent, without first building a marine, engaging in commerce, and thus developing their naval power. They knew that no maritime state, not building, but buying its vessels abroad, ever became commercial or naval. They hud seen the shipping of England drive out the Dutch and French, and monopolize the trade of all her colonies, and had felt the meaning of that British metaphor that "tho sov ereigns of tho seas rale the world with ease." They had the foresight to provido an American marine to supplant and pro vent a British monopoly of our ocean trade, to tho end that the liberties of the American people might safely rest in their own hands and tho commerce ef the country be prevented from becoming the indirect means of re-enslavement to the same old tyrant tho commercial power of England now stealthily accom plishing this very work. THE KEY TO KAVAIi TOWER. And, Mr. President, there is a main spring to that commercial power which preserves the liberties of maritime na tions, and, it is said, may rule the world. Its key is shipbuilding. Since vessels were lirst sailed various states, from Egypt to England, have held in turn tho sceptro of tho sea. All but the last of these rulers gave place to their successors on losing tho ability to build their ves sels, or on failing to excel in tho art and mystery of skillful construction and safe navigation. In our own times, wo have seen proud Britain, great as she is, hull down astern following the United States in tho model of her ships. Then it was that tho good-for-nothingness of our government, and the antagonism of our enemies, hero at Washington, gavo tho race to our aggressive rival. We have also witnessed the greatest trial in his tory of a maritime nation to maintain its power of commanding the sea. That was the difficulty of building British ship3 without materials of homo production. Great Britain would have lost her naval pre-eminence, and, much of her commer cial power, but for tho timely adoption of iron shipbuilding, by which alone she was enabled to continue tho construction of her own fleets. From not herself pro ducing the material for wooden ships, she had long been falling behind in tho practice of building tho best vessels. With ample and cheap supplies of the new stun for suip3, she soou iorgeu ahead in the production of tonnage that would pass inspection at XiloyUs--gooa enough for British necessity until tho competition of the United States shall compel the production of better ships. THE VAI.UE OF PRACTICE AT HOME. Without indigenous material and prac tico at homo in building and sailing ships, the ability to lead tho world in naviga tion is soon lost. England has been five hundred years gathering tho means of her presnt commercial greatness. In all her history since she first imported Italian shipwrights to build vessels for tho royal navy, the only danger to her continued ascendency sprang from tho difficulty of avoiding the importation of tonnage. Imported ships should, indeed, be "cheap," and in number, few. Tho nation that would have ships to sail, itself must build its fleets. Great Britain with all her wealth could not afford to buy her ships abroad. Besides her loss in coin and skill, the national detriment in various ways would greatly exceed the advantages of lower prices for tonnago. Tho commercial interest has always shaped her policy, and this has neyer for one moment looked to the abandonment of home shipbuilding, or dependence apon foreign shipyards for the supply of merchant vessels no more than for the royal navy. Her "free-ship" act so often praised and recommended for adoption, does not so much as squint at the use of any other than a British ship for her rule of tho open sea. It is practically nothing but a political pitfall a source of danger to every nation but herself intended to induce tho world to follow her example, and become dependent on British skill and grudging good-will. And the snare succeeds. In 1870, when the Lloyds prac tically excluded American vessels from inspection and classification in their Register "the Blue Book of the Aristoc racy of Shios" onlv two ner cent of the new tonnage entered on the Government rolls was foreign built, while the sales to foreign countries amounted to forty- three per cent, of the total new tonnage launched in the samo year. It is there fore evident that Great Britain runs no risk of parting with her naval independ ence while it is clear that her foreign customers are drifting into subjection by mo wursiuji ui iuu ixeu biup principle.

A man can build a mansion And furnish it throughout; A man may build a palace, With lofty walls and stout; A man can build a temple, With high and spacious dome; But no man in the world can build That precious thing called Home. So it is a happy faculty Of women far and wide, To turn a cot or palace Into something else beside, Where brothers, sons and husband tired. With willing footsteps come, A place of rest, where lovo abounds. A perfect kingdom Home. In Brief, and to The Point. Dvspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and nany other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a na tion of dyspeptics. But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and bo happy. Bemember: No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to tho dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents.
