At prices that cannot fail to be satisfactory. air The pnbllo are lnvite4, 1 wrote to the Department of State, calling their attention to the great decrease in American tonnage and suggested a remedy in the shape of a drawback on the material used in the construction and equipment of ves sels in the U. S. That letter was sent to the House of Representatives and by them refered to Mr. McCulloch, then Secretary of Treasury, to report thereon. He re ported against assistance being extended to ship-builders and there the matter rest ed. Now after a lapse of live years the people all see the necessity of doing some thing to restore the American flag to its former position on the ocean, and I trust the present Congress will give it the de liberate consideration the subject requires. Having been myself a ship-master in Amer ican vessels, I have always taken a deep interest in everything concerning our mer cantile marine, and during my stay as Acting l'. S. Consul in Glasgow, 1 have made myself acquainted with the manner of doing work in the different ship yards on the Clyde, and after a thorough inves tigation of the matter, 1 am satisfied that iron must very shortly supercede wood in the construction of all sea-going vessels, and further, that vessels propelled by steam will in time do all the more lucrative portion of the carrying trade of the world, and this event w ill be hastened by the suc cess attending the opening of the “Suez canal,” and also the great improvements daily making in the construction of marine engines, whereby great economy is effec ted in the consumption of fuel. Now it being conceded that iron steam vessels must eventually monopolize the carrying trade, the question is often asked “can i iron steam vessels be built in the United States?” I answer that question most emphatically’ in the affirmative if Congress will only place our ship-builders on the same footing as the English ship-builders. 1 find on examination of the ship-yards here, no labor-saving machinery in use, and although the wages paid men are much below those paid in the U. iS. yet they re I quire double the number of men to accom plish the same amount of work. Tiie whole system here seems to be “main strength and stupidness.” 1 say this ad I visedly, and as the old fashioned pod anger (long eomdemned in the U. S. lmt still used in England,) is to the auger used in America, so are the tools and machinery used in ship-yards on the Clyde compared to those used in the U. S. From this and other facts I am convinced and if required can prove that as good and cheap vessels can be built in the United States as are now j built iu Great Britain. Therefore, refer ring to my letter of the 24th of September, 1864. and considering the changes that have ocenred in shipbuilding since then, I respect fully suggest that Congress should allow a drawback in all materials used in the construction and equipment of all ves j sels built of wood or iron, and that stores I for their use at sea may be purchased in bond, and further that a bounty of ten dollars per ton be paid for the next five years on all vessels constructed of iron in the United States and that class A. 1. at Lloyd's for twenty years, both for sea and lake service. If this is done before the five years elapse, we will have large work shops and skilled workmen to build an iron-clad should we ever want one, besides numerous other advantages from having our own ship-yards in the United States. But whatever laws and regulations Con gress sees fit to pass, I hope and trust they will never listen to those degenerate Americans who wish to transfer the ship yards of flic United States to the shore of Great Britain, and thus partronize the builders of the “Alabama” in preference to our own. I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant, E. 0. Eastman, Late Acting U. S. Consul, lion. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State. Washington, 1). C. Maine Steamship Company. NEW ARRANGEMENT!
