(Applause.) That will be done. In ly57-8-9 our commercial marine was within a few thousand tona as Lirge as that of Great Britain. Now it is a miracle to see the American llag on a foreign sea. My good friends say that the Ilon. Mr. Shöi'nian was able to &ave a good many millions of dollars by changing the interest on out: landing bonds. So he has, but how? By the aid of Democratie votes- by the aid of a Democratie House and every single Democratie Senator in the Senate. plauso) Lhat ïsn't all. We wonldn t refiind the rtebt at U.
