Of the national income as distin- guished from national wealth no of- ficial estimate is given. Many Fine Harbors—The extent and capacity of the harbors of the United States were unequalled. On the At- ntic coast were 23 main ports, 8 on Guif of Mexico, 10 on the Pacific coast, 25 on the Great Lakes, and oth- ers available for routife ocean traffic.

In 1914 it totalled 26,943 vessels of 7,928, §88 tons. But in point of fact, 6,818,363 tons were in the coasting trade. Other tonnage was in the whale and cod and mackerel fisheries. Only 2,360 vessels of 1,066,283 tons were in the forengn trade. Foreign Progress—Other countries bad ‘made striking advances in ship- ping progress.
