MOKE SKIPS WASTED
Ws feel a just pride in quoting the
figures that show our great foreign trad
which now exceeds two billion dollars per
year. For the ten months ending October
1 904 the total of our imports and exports
was $2,236,943,822. This is a good
showing and one that very properly
flatter our vanity, but when w ar told
that but ten per cent of this Is carried in
American (hips, a.id that w are paying
an annual tribute to foreign owned ships
a freight, th normoussum of $150,
000.C 00. the pride oozes out of our in
flated bosoms, for w intuitively feel that
ws ar dependent on foreign ships to
carry the products of our farms, mines
and work-shop to market . .
In 1810 American ships carried 91 per
cent of our foreign trad. Foreign
marine countries seeing the advantage
that a share in the foreign trade of the
world would be to them, began a system
of national aid to their ships by bounties
and subventions. The United State
alon of all the commercial nation failed
to encourage its merchant marine with
the result that in 1861 but 65 per cent
of our foreign trade is carried on beneath
our flag in our ships and now but ten per
cent of our foreign commerce under our
flag. ' .

A prominent eastern Journal may know
whereof it speaks when it say that if
th "square deal" idea continue to grow
that th trusts and corporation will
stand in with th general demand to
have President Roosevelt accept another
four year term. They have full confl
dene In his desire to do jus tic In every
case and they fear that if public senti
ment continue to grow, by th time for
another presidential election, sotrt man
more radical than Rootevelt might be
elected, which would result in a great loss
to their interests. This may sound flimsy
to hear these great trusts talk this way
but on sober thought they may have
reached th point whereby they will be
atisfied with a "square deal"

many persons who do not believe the
United State should pay bounties or
money to ship owners, and others who
think money thus judiciously spent. At
th world is now running it look as
though th nation that does not encourage
ship building and operating must be con
tent to hire) foreign ship to carry its
foreign trade. England paid to her ship
owner in 1901 bounties and subsidies
$5,536,612. Italy paid for the' tame

and subsidies in the year 1901 the sum
of $27,670,160.
