That lor the con­ struction of said bridge the town of Nunda is wholly responsible. That the total cost of the new bridge over said Fox river at said point, in said town, will be about fifty-five hundred (5500) dol­ lars, which sum will be more than twenty (20) cents on the one hundred (100) dol­ lars on the latest assessment roll of said town "and that the levy of the road and bridge tax for the two years last past in said town was in each year for the full amount of forty (40) cents on each one hundred (100) dollars of the taxable property of said town, allowed by law for the commissioners to raise, the major part of which is needed for the ordinary repair of roads and bridges." Therefore the said commissioners of highways hereby petition you for aid and for an appropriation from the county treasury of a sum sufficient to meet one- half of the expenses of the said bridge, and that you will appoint three super­ visors, none of whom shall reside within the town of Nunda, to act in conjunction with the undersigned, in accordance with the statute in soclt case mmk> and pro­ vided. : ' Dated at Woodstock th day ofis 10th May, A.

Time was whfen no ensign was often- ,v: v er seen in foreign ports than the stai*s/";;*'>' and stripes, while now th® flags of majority of nations are more familiar'" f>*' than ours to the eyes of the outsido • world. And this is the result of the mistaken policy of declining to place r ̂ American vessel owners on an equal . footing with their competitors. It has', .1 suited the purposes of the democratic party, from the ambush of an assumed-' £ conservatism, to systematically antago* . ^ nize every semblance of encouragement ."is to owners of American vessels engaged f- in foreign trade, even to the extent of re* •.<; fusal to pay the actual cost of carrying , - the mails--and this in full knowledge*:/-/ of the fact that rival nations were , guaranteeing a profit to mail-carrying % , vessels when sailed under their respect- ~ * ive flags. In proof of this, it is a mat# . ter of record that Mr. Cleveland's post* " ^ naster general signalized his assump* tion of power by adding over ten per cent, to payments previously made tot ">§ carrying American mails in foreign ves« , . sels, while at the same time, with half '» a million dollars at his command, voted ' for their use, he actually decreased by ? *H over twenty per cent, the sum p# allowed to owners of American vessel* '̂!! for similar services. As a result of such ' »• partiality foreigners were paid fromtha'" "fi United States treasury ten times a^|l| much money for ocean transportation" .;r of oar mails as was paid to citizen ves- : jJ Bel owners. And this under the admin* . " istration of reputed disciples of JelBei*^?! son, that patron saint of democracy whoi., wrote of our ocean commerce that "a* -t a*branch of industry it is invaluable, aa;- a resource of defense it is essential!" J:$$l Thanks to action of the same con­ gress that strengthened the barriers around our land industries, a change has been decreed for this one-sided ar­ rangement on the high seas. Under the law discriminating in favor of vessels, built in this country and sailed under the stars and stripes, contracts will be / 5^ let so as to assist American vessel own- era to meet the competition of foreign.' lines so fostered by government as to r-.- enable them to practically monopolise the ooean carrying trade and extort <\ from American commerce more than $100,000,000 a year in the single item of . ^ freights. _ /. A report to the department of state ^ in 1890 shows what has been dime in • j*> the line of aiding foreign commerce. - Thi s d i s c lo se s t he f ac t t ha t t h i r t y - two• ». .« governments were then paying faurga' suzas uiider the various forms of subsi- - dies, bounties, or mail transportattott.

Add to this showing the further his- 4 toric fact that the tonnage of nations extending aid to their ocean commerce has increased steadily, while that of k , the United States has not increased ~ during the same time, and every unpeej* ' % 4; udiced voter must recognize the wis- * ̂ dom of the change in policy wrought by , the republican majority of the Fifty- first congress.
