Bock & Thomas
It is quite natural, and very
proper, that a people that does
as large a business with outside
peoples aud nations as does the
people of the United States
should take a lively interest in
not only tke kind but in the
owners of the meads J of - trans
portation that renders bur large
foreign trade possible The only
contrivance man ; baa - ye in
vented for crossing the wide
deep oceans that separate the
several continents and widely
scattered Isla ds is ships. Wheu
we Americans consider the
great size of our foreign' trade
it is hard to get a clear idea of
the amount of business we do
wilh other countries, and how
seriously each individual would
be affecte'fif that trade would
fiom any cause, be seriously
obstructed. We naturally auk
the question,, who owned the
ships that iu the eleven months
ending with May 1905 carried
the $1,397,360,140 worth of
stuffa that we iu that time ex
ported to foreign hnds and peo
ple, and the other $1,027,308,509
Worth Ol thin ihrnt -r
brought in ships across the seas
to us?; It, of necessity, took , a
great many ships to accomodate
a foreign trade that in eleven
months required the ' transpor
tation across seal of ; commodi
ties valued, at $2,424,718,649.
Our readers would feel saddened
be told that a very small pro
portion of this big trade, we are
so preud of, is carried in ships,
owned by Americans but such
is the fact. Some day when it is
not so hot the Obsrrver( may
give the figures but those figures
should not be presented so close
to the "Fourth of July" for fear
tbey might detract from the
patriotic emotion pertinent to
that gbrious day.
