The minority report IB oignad by
Senator Voat and Rjpreaentatiros
McEano and Ooz. The report de
clarer that the war which began in
1801 waa not in any aaziso tha cause
of the a.nnmorsial phenomana under
consideration. It wai aooelorited by
the COUIBB of events which , if the cir
cumstances existing from 1855 to 1861
had continued , would htvo bon inev
itable oven hid there been no war. It
would ba a'great miatako to infer ( is
many thus have glvon the testimony
baforj j ) int cointuttsea oaem to Infer )
N that if ull obatruotlous and barduiii
upon the iujtrumantatity of no mujh
of the commerce of the United States
a ) purtaitm to the ocean were removed ,
wo should bj a iiu at no distant d.iy
a great ship building and ship us'ng
nation. Such a result is impossible.
If all obitrustioas were removed , and
if the s vi of the moat improved
pattern and modern construction and
fully equipped were aiven us and
placed aa fro a gifts at our wharvoi , it
is doubtful if our ocean cominsnip and
shipping wonld be materially relieved
and developed , One reason of a general -
oral nature against auch a revival ia
the preoccupation of our people In
ether more attractive and ramunarn-
tlvo omploymenla. It ia not likely
that ary gruit iaoroajo or ravival of
our ahip-buildiog and shipping inter-
esta will tuko plaoo until wa have
rofcbod a maximum production in our
lines of labor , especially in ngrioul
turo. When that point ia
reached and our energies are
devoted to oth'jr pursuita the
ocean may have ita olden attrao.ion
atni remuneration for ouv people.
Another more practical and tangible
raaaou M thic all trad-j and cammorco
is ouDiitiAllj' birtor , pr.duat buinij
given for pcodiuc and oorth-j for aor-
vluo. la ordur t'i sell wo must buy
and in orJur to buy wo must neil , and
ho who will not buy oinnot eoll and
he who will not sell cinnot buy.
Again , shipi have baon truly called
tha children , not the parontr , of com-
merco.
The tnerahnnt mirtna languishes for
lack of libjrty. Its revival must oomu
from onlarrfement ot our freedom.
The minority , whllo o > ncurring with
the report as to measures reported by
the committee , dpairo also to present
two other propositions ; firat , for ad
mission tree of duty of all materials
finished and perfected and ready to b )
put together in a ship , and bocond ,
forfreo admfasion to American registry
of ships built abroad.

Senator Miller said tha senator from
3jorgia feared that thh bill , if panned ,
would tend to establish a lifo tenure
of ofiico , but in faot i : would nimply
put back the tenure of appointed rill
: oia to whera it was during the firat
Ifty yeura of our national life.
Senator George thought the passage -
ago of thia bill would Inaugurate n
most important and necoeaary reform ,
'or the ovila which it sought to remedy
were of thu most momontoua character
affecting doepiy the purity of our gov-
ernuiontal udmiriatratton and oven

from Georgia ( Utown ) tsaamed to think
there would ba no chance for the
democratic puty unloaa it could prom
ise its members the apoila ofDcoe. He
( George ) repudiated the idea. Ho de
nied the democratic party WAS de
pendent upon "cohcslvo power of
public plunder , " and slid it would go
into the citnpiiim of 1884 aa it wont
into that of 187G under the mete of
"reform , fidelity to public trusts ,
