American Commerce.
From the Burlington Hawkeye.l


At one time the United States led the world in
its a-carrying trade When the war broke
out our commercial marine comprised over
ooo. 900 TONS while that of Great Britain on the
same day was only 1885, sos tons, or with river
steamers. etc, added. only 4,7ooooo tons, Our
shipping fell Off during the war for several rea-
sona. Our flag suffered from the dangers TO
commerce under it. and the revolution by
which steam was being substituted for sail
had already begun. The imitation Of the
currency and the high tariff had so in
creased the cost of production here. that
we could not compete with Foreigners IN the
construction Of yes els. IN 1863 our marine had
fallen to 5.1ss, o56 tons, while Great Britain had
increased, including everything. to 1928, o73
tons, this being the first annual renort in which
she surpassed us in tonnage. In 1867 our
tonnage had dropped to 427a.45s. while Great
Britain had reached 9a6 1852 tons. We have now
probably reached turning point where our
steamers and sailing vessels will again begin
to compete with the merchant marine of other
nations. Although this is largely an age OF
steam there is already reaction from the
almost exclusive use of steam. Sail vessels ere
cheaper to construct, require less capital tc
build and sail. and for certain kinds of com,
merce serve an excellent purpose. Meanwhile
American steam tonnage IL gaining ground
and by proper announcement and aiudicions
tariff we may soon reasonably hope to have the
stars and stripes floating profusely in ever!
seaport of the world.

eight governors OF the bank. five from the
Assembly, including the speaker. and three
from the Council tSenatel. These governors
elect annually from, among their number
three directors, on whom devolyes the active
management of the bank; no governor is al
lowed to be officially connected with any
other bank. The directors are empowered
to lend the deposits on government, real
and personal securities: they superintend all
business. examine and audit the cashiers ac-
counts. and transmit them annually to the
Legislature.. Deposits are received up to
make the deposits must be obtained. Three
per cent interest is allowed. The maximum
of annual expense for the management of the
bank-salaries, rent. stationery. etc. is pre-
scribed by law. The bank contains deposits
