ORR MERCHANT MARINE.

There vas one feature Of the New York
Centennial celebration that Americans can
not dwell on with any pride
The new York newspapers gave long lists
OF the vessels which participated in the
parade Of the merchant msrine.n One
searches the lists in vain to find proof that
the United States are engaged IN commerce
with the world. The accounts Of the cele-
bration state that ths foreign steamships
81 the wharyes Of New York were deCOrat-
Ell in honor Of the occasion; but none Of
these vessels could join q procession con-
fined to ,he marine Of our own country.
The parade Of the merchant marine con-
sisted wholly Of tug beats, lighters and
steamboats, which ply the harbor OF New
AorS or are employed in river and coast
wise navigation. Ou,side the private
pleasure yachts ;heze was not over three or
iou' vessels able 20 cross the Atlantic.
The pageant II New York har5or broeyht
to the eye the fac; which statistics of
trade have long made familiar TO all. For
a third Of the nations life there has been
no growth in the development Of our mer-
chant marine. Feeble as We are won't to

The opinion is rapidly growing that the
appointment Of that accomplished figure
iugsler. ROBERT P. PoRrER, has dscred-
tied in advance the truth Of tn next
census.
IfMr. PORTER's census juggles with
statistical facts IS his newspaper has been
Juggling with quotations from WASHING
roN's message, the measure Of its worth
lessness has been understood. Here is
what PORTER says WASHINGTON said:
Congress has repeatedly and not without
success. directed attention TO the encouragement
of manufacturers The object Is OF too much
consequence not to- insure a continuance Of their
efforts i'm every way which shall sppear eiigi-
BILE" Doubtless ne would have said more had

~ obviously wise a policy by more than allu-
sion. 0r ne said In his drst message.
'The advancement OF agriculture. commerce
and manufactures by eu proper means Will MOI,

Doubtless Washington did say more,
and here is the whole Of the sentence,
which PORTER cuts in two and throws
half away;

THE WOOL MARKET.
Business Very Quiet and Prices uuohang-
ed The Weeks Sales.
prodefrfcffs

Business is quiet in the seaboard wool
markets and prices are unchanged. There
is naturally more buoyancy at the west
where the new clip is now the ruling fea-
ture. Information from every quarter III
dictates that the staple Il Of unusually good
quality and in unusually good condition.
Dealers in New York, Boston and Phila-
delphis anticipate wide divergence OF
opinions as between buyers and sellers
duriog the next three montbe. Some OF
the manufacturers are getting to the end
Of their orders, but others are taking more
or less material from week to week, that,
or the whole, the market ID practically
where il has been for several weeks. The
reports from abroad encourage those who
desire higher values.
No change appears in the situation at
Boston. Buyers are operating TO some ex-
tent but not enough to relieve the prevail
ine inactivity of the market. The dealers,
however, particularly If their selections
are more than usually desirable, hold
their stocks firmly. Little fleece wool Is
in store and manufacturers are not lnqulr-
ing for it TO any great extent. The same
thing is true of washed cOmbipgs and de-
LANES. A few sample Of new Texas wool
have come to hand, bat rs yet, of course,
there is no special activity in this season s
product. Pulled woods ard Australian
supplies perhaps lead IN interest Cur

son with last year and the yesr before.

consider the country in the first years OF its
existence, it was stronger Their, relatively
to other countries ard to lis own internsi
development, In its foreign carrying trade
than il is to-day. owing TO our present alb
surd and injurious tariff laws, which pre-
vent Amesiclns from building ships.
The total tonnage Of the sailing vessels
engaged in foreign trade in the American
merchant marine in 1887 was 9s9, 412 tons.
Seventy years ego, 10 1916. it wac 500, 100
tons. sud when the civil war broke out it
had reached ? 496. 1914 tons S'esm, it is
true, has TO q large extent displaced sailing
vessels. but the toiai tonnage OF American
vessels engaged in foreign trade, Including
steam aiDs, makes but a pi,iful showing
compared with ths earlier days Of the re-
puahc. In 1887 the total tonnage Of cur
vessels, steam ana sail, engaged in foreign
uade, Was only 1, 176, 600 tone. A thifd Of a
century ago, IN 1854, il was almost ?, 5OO,-
600 ton Last year the total tonnage OF
all the vessels built N the United States
was only $50 $50 tons. In 1915 il was
165. SO tons, or more than in 1887, and in
1855 II was $50, 45O tons. Facts could be
given 10 indefinite length, all telling the
same story. When We dwell upon the
wonderful evidences OF our internal devel-
opment, as shown most dire city, perhaps,
in the statistics ofrsilrosd building, II may
be worth while TO reflect that there is an
other opportunity o, national greatness
opened up during the esrher years Of our
independent existence, but in these later
days wholly neglected or removed by the
effect OF unjust legislation.

orado, Connecticut, Dakota, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin,
are the first % organizing to plant
trees. Every State of the Union
should fall in line. Ten States have
made Arbor-Day one of the calender
days of the respective commonwealth.
Teachers of the public schools should
take a special interest in the good
work of planting; every family
should. The planting need not be of
great trees. Shrubs, vines and small
trees are appropriate about the house.
Plant evergreens tor wind-breaks |;
they will be a good investment. II
the legally appointed day is not sea.
sonable for the trees you want to
plant, plant some tree that may be
seasonable ON that day, and, earlier

Two weeks since the TRIBUNE eX-
pressed the opinion shat the discovery
of gold nlines in Lower California, or
the southern part Of California, might
lead to trouble with Mexico and re-
suit i'll annexing another slice of
Mexican territory to the United
States. A dispatch dated Los Angeles,
CAL, April 18th, says: There is a
well-authenticated scheme on foot to
capture Lower California. A reporter
yesterday found two gentlemen who
had been asked to join the undertake
ing. They are Grand Army men,
we'll known and reliable. At their
request their names are not given,
but If it becomes necessary their
identity can he established. One of
them occupies an official position in
this city and the other is a well
known capitalist. One said:
Yes, sir: think there is a scheme
to capture the lower peninsula, and if
the plan is as we'll organized and has
the powerful backing that the MEM
bers claim for 1t they will make con-
siderable trouble for Mexico. [ was
asked to join and was offered suitable
rank and pay. Of course, I would
have nothing to do with such a
scheme and did not want to know too
much about it.
The second federal officer, when in
terrogated, admitted having the same
offer made to him. The scheme is be
ing worked through secret order
which has u large membership
through the South. He said:
They are we'll organized and num-
Der now oyer l 900 men in the military
department.. The civil department
takes in many prominent and influ-
entail men. / refused to have any
thing to do with the scheme, but eX-
pect to hear from it before long. Any
one who has watched the progress of
things OH the peninsula during the
last year, and who knows of the ex-
istence of this society, can easily see
that the trouble is brewing.

wine. If such conduct is not a shame
and a disgrace, then 1t would be hard
to designate what constitutes shame
and disgrace Just think Of 1t, men

pity that Albert Scheffer's bill max.
ing it q misdemeanor to get drunk
had not been law before the occur
renee of the law makers, drunk at the

proceedings strengthen the prohibi-

The Meat Inspection Bill.

II the farmers OF the State of Min
nesota who were so anxious for the
passage OF the Meat Inspection bill,
don't become disguised with the law
inside of two years, Their we will eat
q peck of green perrimmons. The in
tention of the bill was to present
Armour aud other great dealers ana
packers of meat from shipping
dressed meat to st. Paul and Mime
apolis and competing with Minnesota
beef. TO do this the bill provides
that all cattle, sheep and swine
slaughtered for human food, shall be
inspected within twenty-four hours
before the slaughter of tho same.
Mind, now, the bill says GALL cattle,
sheep and swine," shall be inspected
twenty-four hours before being
slaughtered. This, as we understand
1t, would prevent any one from
Strengthening for his own use II calf,
sheep or hog. Suppose for instance,
our friend Milo Camp has nice calf,
pig, or sheep which he concludes to
kill for use in his family; twenty
four hours before slaughtering the
same he must hunt up the inspector
and have the animal inspected. And
IL our local butchers, Flatner and
CARNEY should buy half dozen or
dozen head of cattle, they cannot I'M
der this bill, IT it becomes II law,
slaughter them, without having each
one of them inspected twenty'four
hours before killing. Below we give
section of the bill, so that our read
ers can judge for themselves whether
or not we are right in our conclusions
in regard to the effect of the law.
Sec. 3. 1t shall be the duty of the
inspectors appointed hereunder to i'll
spect all cattle, sheep and swine
slaughtered for human food within
their respective Jurisdictions, within
twenty-four hours before the slaught-
er of the same, and if found healthy
and In suitable condition to he
slaughtered for human food, to give
the applicant a certificate III writing
to that effect. Ii found unfit for food
by reason of infectious disease, such
inspectors shall order the immediate
removal and destruction OF such
diseased animals, and no liability
for damages shall accrue ty reason
Of such action.

There is more catarrh in this section

There Is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurahle.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
