Auc SudmUc VI commerce lclu a meet
ing to-day, at which the following memorial
was adopted unanimously:
That the increasing claims of commerce
on the Pacific ocean, the opening OF more
friendly intercourse with countries border
ing thereon, and larger facilities for the
Transportation Of passengers and freight
from this point to the Atlantic seaboard re- |
4uire permanent lines of first class steam
ships, under more liberal patronage from
the from Sap g.
CHINA and Japan. as also to the British |
colonies, to Australia and New Zealand: |
that the encouragement of these two lines |
of steamers by Congress, sem-monthly |
to China and Japan, and monthly to
Australia, and to New Zealand and the |
colonies, is a matter OF vital consequence to
the people OF the United States. inasmuch
as it would undoubtedly result in diverting
a large portion Of the trade and intercourse
with most OF those countries and the pro-
uuctive islands OF the Pacific ocean from
the time-wOrn routes via the Cape of Good
Hope or the Isthmus of Suez to the Ameri-
can continent: that, in the opinion of this
chamber, it should be equally the policy of
the government to foster intercourse by sea |
as well as by land, and to grant reasonable |
subsidies TO lines of mail steamers for pur-
poses OF attracting and securing foreign
commerce to our own shores, as well
as to extend assistance to lines
OF railroads for the purpose of facilitating |
and developing internal communication. {
1 nat 1t Is the earnest prayer of this cham I
Der that Congress should extend such I
assistance to steamers plying between this
port and China and Japan as will enable I
them to secure permanently the vast ad-
of a trade between these coun-
tries by the establishment of semi l
monthly line. And also by such other as c
sistance to steamers plying between this s
and Australia |
promote the important and increasing III
tercourse with these rich and rapidly de- /
veloping countries. I
The following also passed the Senate and l
Assembly of California on April /: S
Resotred, That we do hereby earnestly
solicit Congress 20 grant semi-monthy ser q
nee, and an annual subsidy of 81. OOe, 900 in t
senator's and request our Representatives
the United States Congress to use their v
,est endeayors to procure the passage Of
ederal statute effecting these objects.
