MANUFACTURERS need have no fear of a now tanffjbill passing Congress at the present session.

General Butler, of Massachusetts, in his recent speech before the Chamber of Commerce of Boston, advocated the revival of the policy by which Cromwell built up and established England's su- on the seas against the rivalry of Holland, and by which, in the infancy of the republic, America, also built up our commercial mar ne into torm- dable rivalry with that of Great Brifoan. This was the system of differential duties whereby goods com- ng from all foreign ports were admitted at 6 or 10 per cent lower rates when in American vessels than when brought in foreign vessels; There is wisdom as well as, com- non sense in this practical suggestion If such an act was passed by poagress, in addition to admitting all ship-building material free of duty, the iroblem of building up the American nercantile marine would be speedily olved.
