DISCRIMINATING DUTIES.
The American Economist has taken
occasion to discuss quite fully the
subject of discriminating duties in
favor of goods broushl here in
American bottoms, or, per contra,
against goods brought here in foreign
bottoms. This proposition was draft
ed into a bill and offered in tLe
United States senate by Mr. Elkins
of "West Virginia, and known as sen
ate biil No. ?2o'2. The measure has
for its object the encouraging of
American Merchant Marine, and pro
poses that goods brought to this
country in foreign bottoms shall pay
ten per cent duties ad valorem more
than if brought in American bottoms.
It is the principle in tin's law which
we wish to advocate lather than the
rate of additional duties proposed.
It will be ndn'ittcd that the same
proposition whon a law) was very
successful in the establishment of the
American Merchant Marine in the
carl' history of the government. In
fact, it is conceded by all historians
that a law similar to the bill intro
duced by Mr. Elkins was the direct
cause of the great grpwth of Ameri
can shipping.
The Protectionist stands for pro
lection to the employees of American
transportation companies on land ; he
also stands for the protection of
American seamen. It is a well
known fact, and enforced Xy our
shipping laws, that American seamen
receive higher wages ihan any sea
men in the world. VTo are credita
bly informed that the cost of oper
ating American ships, based simply
on the question of wages, is nearly
double that of other nations. It is
manifest that American shipping can
be fostered in only two ways viz,
by bounties and subsidies, or by dis
criminating duties. The American
people are not in any temper to take
up an elaborate sy'stera of subsidies,
but they have declared themselves
in favor of protection upon land and
sea.
The discriminating duty plan sim
ply means that goods brought here in
American bottoms shall pay the rates
of duty laid down by law, and that
goods brought here in foreign bot
toms shall pay an additional duty.
The difficulty to American shipping
is not in securing a cargo going
abroad, but rather in securing a cargo
returning to this country. A home
ward cargo aided by a discriminating
duty would unquestionably make a
great demand for American ships,
and it is believe;! that even shipyard
from Maine to the gulf, and on the
Pacific northward from San Fran
cisco to Pugct Sound would be busy
with orders. This is not simply an
opinion, fcr the same policy when in
effect during the first decade of this
century accomplished the same re
suit.
We regret to know that there is
opposition to this wise measure of
protection, and especially coming
from Philadelphia, as expressed in
the resolutions or memorial adopted
by the Maritime Exchange uf that
city last week. The Maritime Ex
change, like some other organizations
of the kind, may be simply the agent
of the North Atlantic shipping pool
a foreign trust which should be in
vestigated. The foreign shipping
interests have become so powerful
in this country and so involved with j
the transportation interests that it is
not difllcult to secure opposition to u
measure of this kind. It is also
quite possible that the Americnn line,
owned by the International Naviga
tion Company (now heavily subsi
dized), whioh has full' as many
ships under n foreign Hag as under
the American, has taken an interest
1 in 'defeating tin's patriotic proposi
tion. This measure would create
activity in shipbuilding and restore
the American flag in the Merchant
I Marine. Every one who favors ade-
j quale protcstion by import duties
should favor the policy of discriniin-
J ating duties, for it will accomplish
I for American shipping the same
grand results to American interests
in the ocean carrying trade that pro
tection has given upon land.
If Mayor Pennoycr hud ever toyed
with the nickel in-the-slot machines,
he would know that they are not
gambling devices. To constitute a
gambling device requires that the
element of skill or chance enter into
it. But the machines named are
only receptacles tor te nickels of the
charitably-inclined. They are a
dead shot.
The Orcgonian prints what pur
ports to be a letter from Senator
Mitchell's brother in its issue today.
The letter is addressed to "The lend
ing Republican paper ot Portland.
Oregon." This being the case, the
Oregonian should be rroseci ted for
opening letters not its own.
