If a mistake is made it will be very serious to the country, serious to people interested in theshippinginterest and serious to those in the particular trades re- ferred to, It will be serions fadeed to all parties concerned, and thersfore hasty legis- lation on this question is very much to be deprecated. “Ihere is, [ believe, at this moment a com- mittee sitting ships, taking evidence and making very ful inquiry on that point, ind at all events we ought to wait until we nave the results of that careful investigation Yefors us.
