ships in this country as any other could,
but now the case Is exactly the reverse. Any other
country can build ships cheaper than can. Now
l will simply ask, that this beng the case-and |
challenge denill-when may reasonably expect
TO see our commerce restored TO what 1t once was
No matter what the causes were that produced this
unpleasant result the case stands as have stated
the lansuishing Q. onr commerce and shipbuildmg

war we have just passed through. Now il

who would avail Of such advantages 70 increase
their interest in commerce.. | don't see that the blu
pending before Congress for the remission OF all
taxes and duties material consumed in ship
building Will have any practical effect Whatever; ior
while labor, the source OF values, rents, and indeed
everything known to domestic economy, remain at
the eXorbtant rates they this bill cannot prove
OF any real benefit No. let the Old fogy law OF 1913 be
repeaed let the American citizen be as free as those
OF every other country are to go and buy his ships
wherever he can find them best and cheapest and
don't compel him TO stay at home, build u ship at
the cost OF which he could own two OF the same
size instead OF one thus doubling the tonnage with the
same outlay.
These suggestions will no doubt meet the most
violent opposition from our ship builders,
because 1t would affect them seriously; but let
me ASK is the greatness of this nation, the superior
iy II once held over the commerce OF the world, the
immense loss annually accruing to us by this sui
cida course-are all these To he subordinaed TO the
interests Of the few snip builders OF the country
How many are they that such immense sacrifices

mind the fact that these vessels being owned by u.s.
would Of course hail from, be always repaired fitted
out loaded, discharged In our own ports and In
general afford rs much employment and dispense
the same amount OF money among our ship builders
laborers, &c as though they were built here except
in that one particular circumstance.
These suggestions have been called to my mind by
reading the articles have in your columns, as well
by my daily observations OF cause and effect "a

own views may be regarded upon this, one thing
