The lessons of the war should have taught the American people the value of having ships of our own, not only for emergencies, but for the business of transportation for the 365 days-in the year. Along with the general protective tariff law that will later be enacted, the discriminatory duty in favor of goods imported in American ships should be made a feature just as certain as the customs duty covering the difference in cost’of production in the United States and in the countries of Europe and Asia. The history of tariff law and merchant shipping en- couragement are linked to very great extent and to provide a better understanding to the two subjects it is here given. The first tariff law, passed by the American con- gress July 4, 1789, allowed a discount of 10 per cent of the tariff duties upon imports brought to this coun- *-try in ships owned and built by American citizens. On July 20, 1789, congress allowed American built ships sowned by American citizens to enter our ports on the = payment of 6 cents per ton tonnage dues, but de- manded 30 cents a ton from American built ships owned by foreigners, and 50 cents from ships built ‘and owned abroad. In 1794 the method of discriminating duties was changed so that the general tariff rates were applied to foreign goods entering in American ships, but those goods imported in foreign ships paid 10 per cent ad- ditional duties. In 1807 our ships were carrying 92 per cent of our foreign trade. i ; again in 1811-12 by Napoleon's seizures of our ships; and still more in 1812-14 because of our war with Great Britain. In 1815 our ships carried 74 per eent of our forcign trade. By a commercial treaty framed some months after the treaty of Ghent, the United States and Great Britain bound themselves to impose no discrimination on ships or products in the trade between this coun- try and the United Kingdom. But Great Britain stipu- Isted that she should continue to control her trade with the West Indies and Canada as'she might desire. After we had agreed to that treaty, Great Britain Proceeded to exclude American ships from the West Indies as a result of which 80,000 tons of our ship- ping was put out of active service. In 1831 the steamship became a factor. Three years later Great Britain granted a subsidy of $85,000 a year to the Rotterdam-Hamburg steam packets and another of $150,000 to the Gibraltar packets. In 1889 the British government handed Samuel Cunard the Cunard company, born a protected industry. This subsidy was increased by successive jumps to $55 000, to $750,000, to $850,000, and finally to over a million a year for 20 years. In 1841 Great Britain granted a subsidy of $1,200,000 to a company of Brit- ish inerchants for a steamship line to the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico. When this company showed a deficit of $400,000 on the first year’s’ operations, the British government reduced the required: service, but retained the subsidy, and later raised it by $150,000. It was somewhere about this time that Wm. Wheel- wright of Newburyport, Mass., our consul to Guyaquil, Ecuador, conceived the project of a steam line up and down the west coast of South America, and he came home to enlist the assistance of his friends in making it a reality. They agreed as to its usefulness, but de- clared it would be necessary to secure from the United States government a subsidy like that paid the Cun- ard line by the Britishers. But congress rejected the suggestion and Wheelwright went to Liverpool, where 233 East Second Si.

In 1847 Edward K. Collins of New York, a wonderful} shipping man, succeeded in securing a subsidy of| $385,000 from congress for 20 round trips, New York- Liverpool, a year. He built four ships, the pride of our steam fleet, which, up to that time had totaled) 5,631 tons. By 1855, under the subsidy policy, it} totaled 115,000 tons. : In 1855 the southern Democrats: began their attack upon the policy of subsidization and it was killed in} 1858. ) In_1914 we were carrying about nine per cent of| our foreign trade. Alien interests have shown a spirit of determination | to drive our merchant marine from the seas. It is! only possible if we permit it through a complete break-} down of enterprise and business ability with which! the world credits us. We can forget the plan of sub-! sidization and return to the old plan of 1789, which will preserve our war-built merchant marine. Such a plan is suggested in one of the proposed amendments to the pending tariff measure. Meanwhile there is authority under the . existing merchant marine act to abrogate treaties with foreign countries which are likely to hamper us, With an adequgte tariff measure covering our in- dustrial and shipping interests, we will be in position to go to the mat with Great Britain or any other mari- time’ power and take our chances. And the profits will flow into our own coffers and enrich our own peo- ‘ple instead of the people of other countries.

To recall the latest evidence and times we all re- member, you only have to go back to 1913 when the Democratic party came into full power and enacted the Wilson-Underwood tariff act. There was a pe- riod of decline in industry, due largely to the fact that the United States was increasing its imports and de- creasing its exports. Giving more employment to for- eign labor atid less to American labor. There were lang lines. of unemployed getting free food from the bread wagons and soup kitchens. President Wilson explained the situation and dismissed the causes of depression and stagnation as purely psychological. There were five million men out of work at that time. It was not a condition ef mind with them and their families. It was a condition of stomach. It is reported and is most likely true, that there are four million men out of employment at the present time. We are advancing no such reasons as “pure imagination” for the existence of present day condi-| tions. We admit they exist and that they are tough. We deplore them, but we point out that they are the result of a number of very definite causes. Chiefly reaction from war conditions, but accentuated by the waste and extravagance of the Wilson regime, the heavy taxes necessitated by that profligacy, the de- flation policy adopted by the Democratic federal re- serve board, the scrambling of the railroads by the McAdoo mismanagement and the paternalistic policies pursued by the Democrats during all their eight years of rule. The present. condition and the depression that fol- lowed the adcption of a free trade policy in 1918 are neither one “purely psychological.”” There was a very real cause for.that affliction upon the country during the first two years of the Wilson :administration.-Re- and his associates a yearly subsidy of $425,000, hende} lief came only when the war furnished this country unprecedented markets at unprecedented prices, with no competition from abroad. The Democratic party was not required to do anything to get the nation out of the difficulty we were then in. ’ There is also a real cause for present conditions; but apparently nothing but hard work, sincere econ- omy and sound legislation with the administration and the people co-operating will restore the country to the prosperity and contentment of days previous to 1912. SUEUR EEE THE DISAPPEARING EMPTIES. There is said-to be-a shortage of bottles in the country. Bottles containing tonics and other light beverages are seemingly not returned -to the dealer who hangs up a cash refund for them, Consequently the dealer and the manufacturer of the contents both pull up short of containers. Makers of glassware as- sert that they cannot keep up’ with the demand for bottles. What becomes of all the bottles is a ques- tion that may ‘well-be asked. Are we still as waste- ful of them as in the day when liquor was sold in the market places? Empty the contents into our systems and toss the flask on the roadside? Could it possibly be that the public is -holding out on the soft beverage folks and using the empties for the purpose of canning home brew? “t The matter is important enough t- be looked into. There is every indication that somebody was elected and the proof will be in the returns from an election held the other day in one of the mountain counties of Kentucky. During the windup of a heated campaign the three banks in the county were called upon for sixty thousand dollars in one dollar bills. One bank supplied $22,000, another $20,000 and the third $18,- 000, There was a demand for more but the banks voluntarily closed when the dollar bill supply became exhausted, until the election was over, in order, it is alleged, to save at least a remnant of the population from being corrupted.
