How 10 Restore our Foreign Carrying
Trade.
Chsrles III. Cramp, in the Forum

Charles III. Cramp, in the Forum
Commerce has its strategy" no less
than war. In war, strategy depends on
lines Of operation and communication.
AT this time we possess neither, for
either commerce or war. Our great rival
controls both in every sense Of the word
This pitiable condition on the ocean is
emphasized by the contrast Of our un
rivalled power, resource and enterprise
within our own borders. 1t seems indeed
the strangest anomaly of modern civil
ization, that the most enlightened, most
ambitious, most energetic, most produc
tive, and internally most powerful. ma
among the weakest, most helpless, and
least respected.
The sole remedy for this situation is
ships with seamen to handle them, wheth-
er for peace or for war; whether to carry
our enormous exports. and bring our inn
mense imports, and receive therefor the
tremendous tolls which now flow into
foreign Golfers, or to vindicate the mai
esty and power Of our flag abroad in the
world to degree BETTING our status
in the community of nations. There Is
no lack of raw material, no lack of skill
to fashion it into the instruments of
commerce. We have the iron and the
steel we have the men 10 work them in
to the finished forms of stately ships /,
we have the money to promote the most
colossal of enterprises by sea. All we
need is assurance Of a steady national
policy of liberal and enlightened encodr-
agement, based upon patriotic com
mon consent. and elevated above the
turmoils of politics, or the squabbles of
parties. One decade of such policy
would make us second only to Great
Britain on the high seas, either for com
merce or for defence; and two decades
of it would bring US fairly into the twen-
iieth century "a the master maritime
mower of the globe

struggle between Mckinley and Camp

fight for the United States senatorship,
and the question whether the Democrats
can beat Sherman, one of the leading
Republicans of the country. And be-
