The supporters of this bill claim that if it becomes a law the merchant marine of the United States will son regain its prestige, and grow to a magnitude commensurate with pui national size and commercial relations with the great nations of the earth. ' The bill is not the outcome of a recent impulse, for the problem of up-building our relative declination of our merchant marine has been agitated' by many of our ablest thinkers for fifty years. While in all other of our national industries the United States has made' phenominal idvd.cement, in building and operating ocean going ships we have fallen behind all other nations. , In 1826 American owned ships sailing under our flag carried 92 per cent of our imports and exports which that year aggregated $144,000,000 a per capita of $14.93.. In 1 905 our foreign trade, imports and exports amounted to $2,636,074,737, a per capita of foreign trade of $21.08 or a per capita of more than twice what it was in 1826, while our per capita trade had mora than doubled in the 79 years the per cent of that trade carried in our own ships had fallen to 1 0 per cent leav ing 90 per cent of our enormous foreign rade to be carried under the flags, of other nations. - . . While we have built many ; ships we have not kept pace with other maritime nations. In 1870 the merchant marine of the United States floated 4.194,740 tons and in 1905 it had grown to 6,456, 593 tons an increase in 36 years of 54 per cent or one and half pet cent per year. England in 1870 had a merchant marine of 7,149,134 tqns afloat and in 1904 she had 16,969,014 tons of ocean going ships a gain in the 34 years qf 9,819,880 being a rate gain' of 4 per cent per year. The World Almanac for 1 906 gives the tonnage of. the principle ; maritime countries of Europe in 1904 at 24.230, 259 a gain of 1 1,302,371 over their ton nage in 1870. Congress will do a good job if it can change our dependence on foreign nations to carry our produce to market and the things we purchase abroad and reinstate us on the high seas as .we were in - the early days of the Republic and keep at home the $200,000,000 freight money we are annually paying to foreign ships.' 1906 should not tie allowed to flitter away without a sewer system for La Grande.' It is something we must have and the sooner the better. ' Sugar beets will be grown in the Covo country this year and they will not be hauled over in wagons either. . The Cove will be connected with La Grande in time to handle this year's beet crop. Just remember this. The crowds are going by. Some of them will finally hear of the wonderful advantages offered in Union county and will come, but why be content with the stragglers when it is possible to get many. No bettnr investment, can be made. The return can hardly be believed when they are even conservatively esti mated. Again the last legislature passed a law whereby counties may expend $1000 annually for advertising purposes. This should j)ave been brought to the attention of the county court so we would now be ready to go out after the present home seekers. If we do not act now we should not let this opportunity pass in the fall when the September homeseekers rates are again made. ' benefit Our delivery service is for the of all.
