A short time ago I was talking to Doug.
Gimlano. Doug.'s fatlior was one of the
nu'ti wlio sailed the soas when the Star-Spang-lod
Banner was seen in every port. United
States was the carrying nation of the world
about the year 1793. At that time Europe
was engaged in the Napoleonic wars and the
United States was the only nation not involv
ed. Our foreign trade increased during the
period from 1793 to 1801
The Need of a from $48,000,000 to $205,-
Merchant Marine uuu,uou. There was a
large and uteady demand
for agricultural products to the belligerent
countries and the prices of wheat, corn, and
meat were very high. The profits from the
production and freight on these goods were
enormous. Many of the colonial possessions
of all countries would come to America and
re-sliip, clearing here removed the fear of
privateers.
The tonnage of American ships increased'
from 128,89:5 tons in 1789 to 789,341 in 1805.
Congress helped American ships by granting
a reduction of 10 per cent on imports coming
in American bottoms. Tea brought from
China was entirely in American ships as the
duty was only one-half as much.
With the introduction of the famous Clipper
ship the United States became the greatest
carrying nation of the world. In 1861, 2,494,
894 tons were in registry. This was soon
lost because we clung to' the wooden ships
while England was building them of
steel. Since that time England and Germany
have far outdistanced us.
Today we are confronted with prospects of
high prices for our exports wit.ii no ships to
transport them. Every ship that is in the
neighborhood of the belligerent countries is
being watched and running a blockade with
millions of dollars at stake is not popular.
1 he reason that so many of the trans-Atlan
tic liners have been so eager to return to
Germany, Engfand and France is because
they have been made extra heavy and can
be easily made over into sea-fighting crafts.
These governments for the past twenty years
have been paying private companies large
sums to defray the additional expense incur
red in the cost of propelling these, with the
understanding that they can be impressed in
to the service when necessary. Thus we can
see that shipping of all kinds will be seriously
handicapped.
Whether it is wise to subsidize a merchant
marine, we don't know, but it is a deplorable
fact that we do not have sunVient American
bottoms to take advantage of what would be
a profitable business to us and also prove a
benefit to others. Ships are not leaving
New York unless accompanied by battle
ships, which will inner prove practical. If
the allied nations get control of the sea, then
exports can be sent to those countries, this
might happen soon.
o
It has been remarked very lately that this
war will be the last great war in historv.
Something is surely wrong with society when
such a trivial incident as prompted this con
flict, can set the nations of the world to fight
ing. o
The wets and the drys will probably have it
all explained just why this or that country
won.
Welcomed Visitors
To The Herald
Office
If this naval business keeps up there will be
no more discussion about the J'anamn tolls.
the Herald
office yesterday and in the course of
the conversation handed the editor
one dollar. Mr. Bergstrom likes the
idea of getting the news twice a
Mr. Bergstrom harvested good crops
this year and we wouldn't be surprised
to see him riding around in a new car
this fall.
The Herald is grateful to the many papers
which exchange with it. Especially is it in
debted to such papers as the Oregonian, Tele
gram, East Oregonian and The Tribune,
which exchange on an even basis. Reading
the exchange papers is like taking a course
in general culture for it is by their assis
tance we gain a stand
ard by which we can
judge our own efforts
and appreciate the work
of others. Many peo
ple inquire at this office for the paper of some
other place and it often happens that an ap
preciable favor can be rendered.
Among our exchanges are several which we
especially enjoy reading each time they
roach our table. The Milton Eagle is one of
the best weeklies in the State of Oregon and
prints as much home reading matter and well
written special articles as any weekly we
know of. The Elgin Recorder also ranks
high among the weeklies. They recently in
stalled a Linotype, similar to the one in the
Herald office, and enlarged to eight pages.
For originality most country editors in Ore
gon are willing to take a back seat for Colonel
Wood of the Weston Leader. The Leader
is a distinct credit to the journalistic profes
sion. Geo. Robbins is giving his Pilot Rock
subscribers a nifty sheet for a town of only
a few hundred population. The Canyon
City Eagle carries a surprisingly large
amount of home news and their editorials
are worth the while of their readers. The
Pendleton East Oregonian reaches our desk
daily and still the loading daily of this sec
tion. The Pendleton Tribune, under the able
management of our friend, John P. McManus,
is making rapid strides to the front ranks and
has recently moved into its new quarters on
Garden Street, next to the site of the new
Federal building. When The Dalles
fails to reach our desk at the usual hour we
feel as though we had been deserted by an
old friend. The Shaniko Star each week has
a good line of local news and a splendid lot
of correspondence.
The Oregonian and Telegram, a morning
and an afternoon paper, are too well known
to our readers to need any comment from us.
We are certainly glad to have them on our
exchange list and we derive a fund of knowl
edge from their every issue.
Among the weekly papers of the state the
editorial columns of the Woodburn Indepen
dent rank high. The Enterprise Record
Chieftan deserves mention for its editorial
department in which important national and
local topics are ably handled .
o
Japan has said that she will offer her aid to
England if she needed it. That is the same as
helping Russia. Some of the Russians and
Japanese could renew old friendships.
o
Greece recently bought two battleships of the
United States. She should hive purchased
more and the United States would have done
well if she had sold the whole navy.
o
Several motion picture men have left for the
war yesterday on a steamer at New York.
One undertaker also departed.
o
The managers of the Panama-Pacific Exposi
tion are hoping that the war will be over bv
