Congress is worrying with plan to re
vrve tbe merchant marine ef this country.
Thai something sbodd be don to render
it possible to have enough ocean traTers-
Tg snips to carry our foreign trade on
ships bearing the American flag, seems
emmentJy desiraUe. That a natkw ae!
rich a tfa United States, with as huge a !
foreign trade as it has. should remain for 1
decade dependent on foreign ship to'
carry off it surplus products, and back
tbe thing w get from abroad, seems;
Strang, yet such ie oar present condition.
Every great industry in this country
baa grown marveJousiy in the past forty-
year but our merchant marine en
gaged in our foreign trade.
In ieS0, with a foreign commerce) only
about one Kith as large as it now is. w
had 2.733,396 registered tormag engaged
ineur foreign trade, owned by citizen of
tn United State sailing under the stars
and strips. In 1904 we had bat 888,
128 registered under the American flag,
showing a decfine in the 44 years of !.
490.768 tons. Wf are now paying
freight to foreign ship owners ennui Hy
$ 1 50,000.000. and to "our own ships- ens
tenth as much, or $15,000,000. In 1810
American owned ships carried SI per
cent, in 1861 65 percent and now but 10
par cent of our exports "and anporta.
These foreign ship are built in foreign
land by foreign labor, operated by for
eign labor. The office they keep in our
ports to collect the annual tribute of $160.
000.000 from us are operated by alien
manager and the clerical work is per
formed by English. French. German.
IuSm and Japanese penmen.
Because the higher wage -paid in
this country it cost more to build ship in
this country than elsewhere in the
world and our seamen are paid more,
which enables our rivals for ocean trade
to carry good cheaper than oor shipown
ers can. In addition to thee advantages,
th governments of Europe pay their ship
owner large bounties and subsidies. la
1901 these bounties aggregated $28.
770.160. That year England paid $5.-
636.612. Eranc $8,643,423 and Japan
$1942.296 and the other nation $10.
447.829. Th United State pays neith
er bounty or cubsidy. ,
Tbe proposition now before Congress is
to meet oor foreign rival for the carrying
of our exports and import by bounties
andsubsidies. We must either do thijl
or be content to dtpend on foreign ship
to carrrour produce to market and ear
import and continue to pay $150,000,
000 a a tribute for the privilege of trad
ing with th outsidtworid.
