ASTORIA., OREGON: TUESDAY APRIL 3. 1BS3 Ships In England and America. wcari- effort appears to be making oven to become carriers of our own merchandise, much less that of the universe. NEW TO-DAY. American Newspapers in 1883. Tt 1ms almost become a ness says the Globe-Democrat to keep continually reiterating state ments showing in how relatively a poor condition the United States stands as regards its merchant marine. Prior to 1861, when the war drove the Union flag from the seas, and since when it has been kept off the ocean by home legis lation, the sails of American ship ping thronged every commercial harbor in the world. The race for maritime supremac then was be tween this country and Great Britain, a race in which the latter power looked like coming out second best. To-day the com merce of the United States is carried in English, Scotch and Irish bottoms, and there seems little chance of a change for the better. The reports of what is beinj; done in British ship-building yards and its comparison with what is not being done in the United States are enough to make every American blush with shame. The reports referred to show that in 1SS2, while hardly a score of ocean-going ships of any kind were being built on this side of the Atlantic, the British ship-building interests were more prosperous than ever before. The year 1 881 was the greatest for building iron and steel ships that the British Isles had ever known, but 1882 was still greater. During that year, in nineteen ports of the United Kingdom, nearly 800 ships with an aggregate ton nage of 1,200,000 were built, being an increase of one-fifth over the construction of the previous year. Of this enormous tonnage the ship yards of the Clyde produced 391,- 034 tons and the Tyne, 20S,000 tons, and a remarkable fact is that Belfast, which in 18S1 had only built 13,893 tons, had grown in its production to 58,120 tons, actu ally launched, besides preparing a ship of 4.700 ,tons which was launched in January of this year. An important point noted in connection with this great; increase of gross production is tlu size of the individual vessels produced. In commenting on this, the Satur day Itevicic saj-s "the tendency everywhere is becoming more pronounced towards very large vessels," and the reports show the average tonnage of vessels built on the Clyde has risen from 916 tons in 1878 to 1,347 tons last year. On the "Wear it has risen from 1,404 to 1,727 tons, and on the Tyne from 1,075 to 1,753 tons. On the Clyde one vessel of 7,500 tons was built, and one of 5,600, while ships of 3,000 to 4, 000 tons were quite numerous. The material of which nearly all these marine monsters were built was steel, wood only being used for very small vessels, and for but comparatively few of them. The fact of this enormous in crease points to another fact the continued growth of the monopoly of the carrying trade of the world, now practically owned by Eng land. "With the solitary exception of the Egyptian war, which led to a temporary demand on the part of the government for large iron and steel steam vessels, there was nothing that occured to give any apparent unusual stimulus to the ship-building interest, and that de mand was of such short duration that it could have had no serious effect in forcing the business out of its normal course. The growth seems to have been due entirely to natural and commonplace causes. The trade of the world is growing annually with the increase of its populations and of the facilities for the interchange of its commo dities, and the nation which is pre pared to do the carrying trade the cheapest and best will get the trade. How enormously profitable it is may be judged by brief re flection on the figures above quoted and by remembering that this kind of work has been steadilv going on for nearly a generation, and with every indication of continuous in crease for a generation to come. There surely must be some huge mistake in the policy of the United States, or otherwise we should get some share of the golden prize this trade offers. "With all the material here and the skill and inventive genius enough to beat - the world on every other point, it k a remarkable fact that hardly an Notice to Outside Fishermen own ing their own Boats and Nets. AM AUTHORIZED TO CONTRACT FOR From the new edition of Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co's American Newspaper Directory, which is now in press, it appears that the newspapers and periodicals of all kinds issued in the United States and Territories now reach the im posing total of 11,196. This is an increase of 585 in twelve months. Taking the states one by one, the newspaper growth in some is very considerable. The present total in New York state, for instance, is 1,396 a gain of SO in the past year. The increase in Pennsj'l vania is 48, the existing number being 943. Nebraska's total grew from 175 to 201, and Illinois' from 890 to 904. A year ago Massa chusetts had 420 papers; now the number is 43S. In Texas tin new papers out numbered the sus pensions by 8, and Ohio now has 738 papers instead of 692. The most remarkable change has oc cured in the Territories, in which the daily papers have grown from 43 to 63, and the weeklies from 169 to 243 Dakota being the chief arena of activity. The num ber of monthlies throughout the country grew from 976 to 1,034, while the dailies leaped from 996 to 1,062. The figures given above are exclusive of Canada, which possesses a total of 606. It is in teresting to note that the newly- settled regions of the Canadian north-west are productive of news papers as well as of wheat, for the number of journals issued in Man itoba was nearly doubled during the year. will rcccivo saitnen as nboro during tlio whole month oi April, ami aro also wlllins to couUnuo to purchiwe outside Esh during the cntiro season at current rales or at puces that may oe acreoa upon. mil aw im sonallv guaraiifo imvinciit for all flHlinon delirerod to the above company in accord ance with the terms oitfiis notice.

No wonder business is dull when we allow other people to do our busi ness for us, and no wonder money is scarce when it all goes out of the state for food products that should ba raised in abundance here at home. If the farmers of Oregon ever expect to see good times they must stop this leak This matter of food impor tation is all in their hands and they have the power to wrest this balance of trade from their California neighbors and turn it to their own account. The idea that this state, so prolific in resources, should allow other states to pio vide the necessities of life for us and take away our money is too simply ridiculous and shiftless to talk about with any degree of complacency or good nature.
