The Banishsd Flag.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
One of the Oldest and most expert
enced shipmasters, who was a captain
with brilliant record among the Amer
lean liners on the Atlantic in the palmy
days OF the mercantile marine, predicted
before the recent centennial that Presi-
dent Harrison would not see as many
American flags in the procession Of the
merchant marine, on ships engaged in
foreign trade, as General Washington
saw in 1889. The prediction was veri-
fed, for among the great feet of river
steamboats, In last Mondays parade
there was not the flag Of single ocean
steamship.
That was a humiliating fact, but there
is one still more mortifying to our ma
tional pride, to which attention has been
called recently by more than one old
ocean shipmaster. The same policy
which has compelled American commerce
to be carried in foreign bottoms and
forced American ship owners to fly a
foreign flag and use a foreign register for
vessels they purchase has also driven
American shipmasters, mates and seamen
TO take positions under foreign flags If
they desire to earn living in their voca.
tion rather than abandon it, as many
have been compelled to do 1t Is stated
as fact susceptible of proof that there
are more American shipmasters in for
eign trade sailing under foreign flags
than under their own.

subsidize American shipping.
Editor Of EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR: In its recent crusade against one
of the most important industries of this
city, and in its recent discussion with
the American Shipping and Industrial
League for Delaware" viii the Every
Evening kindly notice one single but ex-
ceedingly pertinent fact. The objective
point Of Every Evenings attack seems to
be the protective tariff. II seized the op-
portunity to cloud the understandings Of
its readers upon this great question, by
avoiding entirely the real point of the
discussion, and ascribing the low cOndi.
tion Of our merchant marine engaged in
the foreign trade to the influence of the
protective tariff. The pertinent fact
that would call Every Evenings atten-
tion to is this:
There are now, in this country
staunch American vessels offered for sale
30 per centum cheaper than the cores
ponding English vessel simply because
they cannot be run in competition with
subsidized vessels Of other nations. Tlf
vessels are cheaper why do not Ameri-
cans huy them2 What will be the ad
vantage Of goods at less than cost to the
the American Shipping and Industrial
League Of Delaware clearly proved that
if all this Outrageous protective tariff
were removed, If the duties on materials
used in shipbnilding were taken off II
absolute free trade were established, in
othor words, If every condition that the
Every Evening desires be established,
Americans could not build vessels and

The Binder TwIne Monopoly.

Belair (OJ Agis.
Farmers who voted for Harrison and a
high tariff will begin to wonder whether
they were right or not, when they go to
the store TO buy binder twine. This
twine is made Of ssal grass, which comes
from Yucatan. By reason OF the enorm-
GUS demand which has kept pace with
the general use Of the self binding
machine in wheat fields, the sisal grass
which sold in Yucatan in 1875 at $40 per
ton, went up to 6l47 per ton in 1888.
Our cordage companies are taxed $15 per
ton on the raw material and protected
from foreign competition by tariff of
30 per cent
The increase in the cost Of the raw
material has been followed by a cores
ponding increase in the price of twine.
The mills, hoping for lower prices, used
up all the available stock on hand and
are only importing what they need, as
they require IT, Country dealers have
held back their orders, also hoping for
lower prices The outcome Of this state
Of affairs is that the amount Of twine in
the hands of dealers is very low and the
price very high.

The Hearts Ease Ten of the Kings
Daughters Of Second Baptist Church gave
a pink tea last evening
The lecture room was gayly decorated
in pink scrim or cheese cloth. In the
windows were banks of green dotted

WE publish letter from Subsidy"
not because of any intrinsic merit, but
simply to show, in cruel type, what non
sense is current on the question. This.
like other communication on the subsi-
dies to American shipping. is biased by
self-interest. The tariff affects the carry
ing trade by increasing the price Of goods.
Other countries can undersell the United
States. Our ships have less to carry
either way by reason Of the tariff. The
theory Of the protective tariff Is to de
crease the influence Of the natural
laws Of trade. The practice is
worse than the theory for it has
killed the shipping trade and is kill.
ing others. If Subsidy" is really anxious
for the interests Of commerce and is not
bent on neutrality-suspicious., awards,
bounties-for few men, why not reduce
the tarih-remove the restrictions
against barter-and give American reg
listers to foreign built ships? 1t
is Of little use to argue with
Subsidy because he does not know that
England does not pay subsidies. He will
not see the obvious and natural reason
for the growth Of England's commerce
cheaper and better goods-England takes
the goods from every country at a higher
price and gives more in return than any
other country.
