EPORTS from Washington are to the effect R that the merchant marine bill introduced by Senator Frye it not wholly satisfacry even to those who are most eager to provide for the up- building of American shipping. The correspondent of the Boston Transcript says that Senator Frye him- self “has made no secret his dislike, relatively speaking, of the present bill, or of the fact that his aim in drafting it was to secure something which would quiet the opposition of Western Repub- licans in the House and Senate, and so make a start upon subsidy legislation.” While such reports are somewhat discouraging, they are by no means so bad as they sound. The proposed legislation is something like a new depar- ture in American politics. It is natural, therefore, that differences of opinion exist as to what are the best means of providing for an increase of our ocean- going merchant marine, and also as to what would be the effects of adopting any particular measure. Those differences can be harmonized only by experi- mient in the practical operation of the shipping law. Experience soon shows wherein any legislation is effective and wherein it is deficient. In this, as in everything else, we must learn to do by doing. We can never build up our merchant fleets and fit them for competition with the subsidized lines of Europe if we follow the policy of “hanging our clothes on a hickory limb and never going near the water.” The only way by which we can get a perfected system of legislation on the subject is to enact the best we can devise to start with, and then amend it from time to time as occasion demands and experience proves best. The delay of Congress in dealing with this feature of our commercial needs has reached the point of dilly dally. Year after year, in Congress after Con- gress, we have had nothing but delay. In the mean- time our foreign commerce has expanded to a mag- nitude which compels us to pay an enormous tribute to the foreign ship-owners who carry it. In his re- cent address at the banquet of*the Massachusetts Association Senmator Hanna estimated that trib- ute at $200,000,000 a year. The evil of depending upon foreign ships for carry- ing our exports and imports was pointed out by Senator Hanna in the statement: “England has taken her ship? from us and used them in carrying troops and munitions of war to South Africa, while the ore is lying on our docks awaiting transporta- tion, with no ships to send it in. . From October 1, 1899, to June 30, 1900, 173 steamers cleared Boston for Europe with 639,555 tons. The total exports on all were valued at $79,000,090. During the correspond- ing period in the previous year the clearings for England were 258 steamers of 958,677 tons. The total valuation of the exports was $101,000,000. The loss to Boston was the difference between B; Trotté of these amounts. If that was true of Boston it was true of New York and of every scaport in the United States.” : If the transfer of British shipping to meet the cmergency of a comparatively small war like that in the Transvaal has caused so great a loss to our com- merce as that specified by the Senator, it is easy to foresce that if Great Britain became involved in a war with some great nation like Germany the loss to ourselves would be enormous. Our industries are becoming more and more dependent upon our for- eign trade, and if that trade were interfered with the home market would . be glutted with surplus products and the whole country would suffer, We need an American marine adequate to the re- quirements of our commerce. We cannot obtain such a marine unless we arc willing to pay for it. Ship- building in the United States is 25 per cent higher than in Europe, the operation of ships at American wages is 22 per cent higher than European ships, and, morcover, Europe pays $28,000,000 annually in subsidies. That is the situation. The Republican party is pledged to premote our merchant marine. It is high time the pledge were kept, 615 Larkin. open until | italists demand of this country. per cent abatement on the tobacco rate. This demand is free admission of sugar and a 50 Free sugar means the closing of most of the beet sugar mills and crippling of the rest, in thic country and obsoletion of the cane plantations of Louisiana and on the Brazos in Texas. . Americans have investments in sugar and tobacco plantations in Cuba, but Amer- icans also have abuut $40,000,000 invested in beet sugar plants in this country -and as much more in tobacco. They rnay not be as compactly organized as the Cuban capital- ists, but they will L:e heard from if it prove that General Wood’s prophecy have any foundation. The present and future prosperity of the American people has its chief value in its diffusion, in'its generality, in its prevalence, in every interest having a share in it. The economic philosophy of Mr. McKinley was deeper than that of Clay’s American system. Mr. Clay’s analysis never achieved the detail and never traced the policy of pro- the fire on every hearth and the food on every table, tection to the store in every pocket, as did that of McKinley. The McKinley poticy contemplated the domestication here of every form of pro- duction, manual, mechanical and agricultural, that awas not barred by physical condi- He believed in the variety and the vigor of American capacity, and proposed that its exercise should be invited by a variety of occupations commensurate with its diver- With that capacity in full exercise and addressed to all occupations and tions. sified powers. engaged in all productions that can supply the complex wants of man, he looked upon the total result as evidence of general prosperjty. He also believed that to put any part of the complex operation out of action meant injury to the whole. Obsoleting any one form of production by destroying its profit meant so much dead matter in the indus- trial body. In pursuance of this theory and policy he domesticated here the manufacture of tin, of plate glass, pearl buttons, beet sugar and a score of other industries. The Agricul- tural Department under his organization and impulse proceeded at once to explore the world for useful trees, plants and vines, with which to diversify the field, fiber and fruit crops of the country to make the profits of the farmer more secure by making him more independent of accident to a single crop. Therefore, we have the Smyrna fig product firmly planted in California, and also the date about to occupy thousands of acres in our deserts, and new legumes and forage plants introduced to fertilize the soil and add to its profits. What Americans need is to comprehend the wholeness, the unity, the oneness of this remarkable systém which gives to every hand gainful occupation according to its training and to every man opportunity according to his genius. % But the integrity of the system depends upon the presence of each of its parts. It is 2 beautiful arch, impressing us with its benefits, and, by its strength and power, inspir- ing the awe of the world.

At the other extreme is the protection advocated by Each system pleading the same motive, and free trade therefore deserving of respect, albeit not justified by experience. Between these two extremes of economic philosophy lie the policies innominata, with no relation to either, originating in the passing purpose of some class or group of individuals who put their personal profit against general prosperity. They want to re- move a stone here and there from the arch, for their own gain, and the spoiled curve does not impress them. They always come with some specious plea. Just now they are trying { to impress American sympathy by crying out that when we declared war against Spain we promised stable prosperity to Cuba, and it is our duty to injure ourselves now by free trade with that island in order that it may not have a panic!

From the summary which has been telegraphed, it appears the report makes an excellent showing for American diplomacy. By reason of our action in op- posing and eventually mitigating the severity of the extreme demands originally made by several of the European powers we have gained the friendship of Chinese officials and may expect that friendship to manifest itself in favorable concessions to American trade. & It happens that the submission of this report to Congress coincides with the publication of the Treas- ury Bureau of Statistics showing that American com- merce with China suffered more during the disturb- ances of the past year than that of any other country. Just why it should be so in view of the earnestness with which American officials were protecting China from her enemies is not clear, but the facts are un- mistakable. They appear in the official figures of the Chinese Government, and it would seem, therefore, that trade does not follow the lines of national grati- tude. The report of the Bureau of Statistics says: “Im- ports into China from Great Britain in 1900 exceeded those of 1899 by more than five million Haikwan taels, those from Russia increased a million Haikwan taels, those from Turkey in Asia, Persia, Egypt, Algiers, etc., showed a considerable increase, and those from Continental Europe, a slight increase; while from the United States the impcrts fell from 22,288,745 Haik- wan taels in 1809 to 16,724,493 in f900. This was a re- duction in imports from the United States of about 25 per cent, while the United Kingdom showed an increase of more than 10 per cent, Russia more than 25 per cent, the Asiatic countries above mentioned 40 SPECIAL COMMISSIONER ROCKHILL'S been | per cent, and Continental Europe a slight increase.” An examination of the details of the import trade of China during 1900 as compared with previous years makes the showing for us even worse than ap- pears in the general statement. The largest imports into China from the United States consist of cotton goods and kerosene. These come into competition with British, Dutch and Japanese cotton fabrics and with Russian and Sumatran kerosene. The *figures received by the bureau show that in cotton drills the imports of English goods fell from 78,887 pieces in 1899 to 60,047 in 1900, a reduction of less than 10,000 pieces; that the imports of Dutch drills increased from 40,170 pieces in 1899 to 44,624 in 1000; but that those of American drills fell from 1,626,107 pieces in 1899 to 805,892 in 1900, a reduction of more than one- half in American goods; while those from England showed a reduetion of less than 15 per cent, and those from the Netherlands an actual gain of more than 10 per cent. Kerosene oil importations ‘of the Ameri- can product fell from 40,724,089 gallons to 34,447,112 gallons, a decrease of more than six million gallons; that from Russia fell from 35,605,116 to 32,708,757 gallons, a decrease of about 3,000,000 gallons; while that from Sumatra showed an increase of over 4,000,- ooo gallons, the figures for Sumatran oil being for 1899 11,003,202 gallons, and for 1900 16,424,155. It will be seen from these figures that the diplo- matic work done by Commissioner Rockhill has been more beneficial to China than to us. We have made friends among Chinese officials while Europe has made customers mong the merchants. It is possible, of course, that the effects of our diplomacy will be more fully felt in the years to come and that we will from this time on gain instead of lose in the Chinese trade. At any rate there is large room for improve- ment. 2 The United States condemned Spain for ill-treat- ing Cuba, Germany condemns the United States for grabbing the Philippines, France condemns Ger- many for oppressing the Poles, Great Britain con- demns France for invading Tonquin, while Spain pops up_to join in the condemnation of Great Britain for the war in South Africa; and thus do the people of- each of the great powers prove themselves champions of liberty and friends of the oppressed. It has been stated that the German tariff bill now under consideration was drawn up as a hit at the United States, but now it is reported that Russia threatens Germany with reprisals if the bill B¢ passed, so it appears the bill bas a back action moveément and menaces the fellow behind Germany much more than the one in front. —_— A coterie of girls in the Harvard annex intend to don trousers in a play in which they are to take part.
