In the same year foreign ships carried from our ports to foreign countries 24,823,164 tons of stuff for sa!u .'in foreign land . making a total of 49 626,866 tons carried under foreign flags. Of this amount 26,046.873 tons were carried iu British ships, a little more than onehaif. . Expressed in dollars, in 1903 American ships oarried from fireiKU lands . to the United Slates a .d from the United State t foreign na ions . over seas 214,695,032 worth of stuff In the same year our imports from acor exports to foreigu lands nndar fo eign fliigs parsed for the fir t time in histo y the two billion mark, and stands at 12,026,801,420 worth of stuff. It is not because snips cannot be made in the United States as good and cheaply as else where that we are so dependent upon foreign ship owners, for in 1903 we had 623,602 tonage of steam Ocean going ships of American build in our foreigu trade, ' and 896,264, tons of home built sail ing vessels. in JUU3 there were, built in American ship yards 470 sailing vessels with an aggreate gross tonage of 89,979 tons, and in the same year 661 steam vessels weie constructed there with a total tonage of 276,781 tons. ' " In 1876 . there were 28,060 sailing vessels' with a tonage of 8,686,064 tons, and 4.236 steam vessels with a total of 1,168,668 tons in our merchrnt Marine Iu 1903 our. merchant. Marine consisted of 16,371 sailing vessels with a total tonage of 2,679,267 tons, 8,064 steam vessels with an aggregate tonage of 3,408,- 689 tons. The fact that the U. S, govern ment has built at home, one among the largest and most complete in the world, demonstrates that ships, as bTg as any body builds, have keen built in the U. S. gives addi tional emphasis to the query Why do we not own enough ships to do our own business with? , REPUBLICAN TICKET. Z State ' Supreme Judjc F A Moore v - rTOdsmT DalryConuruHiontr, ' ?

C La Grande Precinct. Justice Peace J E Hough Constable J W Praser OUR MERCHANT MARINE. There is probably not a citizen in the United States, when he reads that of our immence foreign trade carried on by sea voiges, only 9.1 percent thereof is oarried in American ships but wishes . in his heart 'ha', something oiuld be done that Amerioan commerce be carried in American ships. It is believed that both Democrats and republicans join in this wish, and differ only in the methods of accomplishing the desired end. v Logically the democrats who adhere to' ''the time , honored principles" of their party, can find no autbority ; or power granted specifically by the U. S constitution, to the ' nations government to do much or any thing in the way cf incouragiug the - shipping interest of the country, and while they deeply regret the situation see no way for the nation to change it for the better. The Republican are unhamper ed by any such constitutional scruples, but so far have been unable to agree upon any plan to place our Dag over a fleet of ships sufficiently large to carrj the things we sell to and purchase from foreign countries and bring home what we buy. The result oi the combined operation of the Democratic dogma of "strict construction of the constitution," and the inability of enough Republican to agree upon apian, to out vote the Democrats and dissenting Republicans, has been and yet is that not national aid has been given to incourage Ameri can ships, and we have to depend upon foreign ships to .carry 90.9 percent of our foreign commerce; paying to foreign ship owners for their sorvico $200,000 annually, aud taking the chnnue of a general war cutting off oar commerce In 1903 there were unloaded from Read the county seat articles in this issue and every other issue of the Obsesver until elec tion day.

The removal of the county seat does not mean an increase of debt, but the reverse, the decrease ofthe debt Valuable Book The Observer received Monday morn ing or mail the latest report of the U S geological survey entitled "Mineral Resources of the Cuited States for the year 1002."

The silver mines are also yielding more in coin value than ever before, the yield In 1902 being 71,757, 675 worth. The total amount of col Dalle metal, gold and silver unearthed by onr miners in 1902 was snfBcient to make 1(1,768,000 bright new dollars. Wool Goes Down Pendleton.
