Decline of American Shipping Wins as Political Argument
The American Register notes stubborn facts behind protection debates. It cites 1199 trans Atlatic steamers last year with no American flag, 166 sailing vessels in the trade with only two American entrants, and a drop from 15 New York shipyards employing 15,000 to an unspecified current figure, using these points to critique Republican policy.
