Figures for Free Ship Advocates.

The American steamship Company of Phila-
delphia has the only line of vessels plying be-
tween this country and England under the
American flag. An item which has gone the
rounds of the press states that this company
made deficit on last years business of 500, 900.
Further particulars are given in recent mum
Der of the Boston Advertiser. from which it
appears that fine total running expenses ex-
cecdcd the total receipts by Sl0.20S and that
this net loss was increased to $4,000 by $SS.-
800 interest on the mortgage bonds Of the com
PAM. The Advertiser thinks that this report
teaches two things very clearly. First that an
act permitting Americans TO buy, and to sail
under our national flag fortgn-built ships,
would not have 4 tendency to revive American
shipping: secondly. that the reason we have 80
few steamships in the foreign trade is. that
American law is destructive of the profits of
the shipping trade. The Advertiser calls attrn-
ton to the fact that there was Il loss upon the
operations of the American Steamship Com
pany. aside from the interest account. The
cost of the steamships does not enter into the
account at all. The company would have lost
ing. Consequently, the fact that the steam
ships owned by the company are American
built and costly, if such be the fact, does not
even touch the question of profit and loss and
to throw open the American registry to foreign
built ships would not open a field to profitable
American enterprise This is established be
yond dispute.
The other point j. established by a consider
alton Of known facts. The managers Of the
American line are entcrpri>ing and as prudent
business men. certainly, as the average Of
European steamship managers. Other lines
between Philadelphia and Liverpool pay profit
upon an amount of business no larger. The
steamships constituting the American line are
good boats, well equipped reasonably swift,
and having good reputation for safety. But
the expenses Of operation were very heavy,
and among these expenses are all the extra
petty charges for shipping Scamen, for consular
service, and others. from which steamships not
under the American flag are exempt, TheSr
We're more than sufficient to convert what
would have been Il profitable into Il losing
business. Relieve American shipping of these
unnecessary burdens and we shall have .Ameri-
can shipping, whether we buy ships abroad or
make them at home. Leave these burdens on
the business. and though we make our registry
perfectly free TO all vessels wherever built, we
shall never have merchant marine worthy Of
our commercial greatness,
