OUR MERCHANT MARINE
Suggestions for The improvement Of
American Shipping Interests.
MORE LIBERAL SUBSIDIES
Canadian Vessels on the Pacific
and the China Trade
The Shipbuilding
Industry.

WASHINGTON. Oct. DE. c. O'Brien,
commissioner Of navigation, In his annual
report expresses the opinion that the ex.
clusion Of foreign vessels from parficipa-
ton in our domestic and coastwise COM
merce provided by the act of 1873 has
alone saved our shipbuiiding from ruin,
and that in this absolutely protected
branch OF our merchant marine we have
attained success In nautical affairs far
SURPRISING those Of any other nation on
the globe.
Referring to shipping on the lakes, the
commissioner notes an increase In tom
mage from ii.i26.9 in 1852 to /, ,os3 ,5s2 tons
in is92. and says il now embraces q fleet
of large steam vessels, models of beauty
and efficiency. He says while foreign
navigation Is absolutely driven from
the transatlantic trade, it sur
wives on the Pacific ocean. The
commissioner however calls attention to
what he regards q threatening danger on
the Pacific, and says the fact that the
dominion government has enabled the
Canadian Pacific railway to construct its
line across the continent and place on
the Pacific ocean o line of steamers which
receives from the Canadian and British
governments an annual subsidy of $780,
u year, ~ htc btiiNs tAS afhohhs
paid annually TO American steamers car
rying mails 10 and from Asia, which sew.
eral times exceed In magnitude the
mails carried by the Canadian lines. The
total annual subvention to this combined
Canadian and British government
line of railroad and steamers
amounts to about $1,000 year. Besides,
the dominion government passed n stat
ute in terms allowing the Canadian Pa
cific To discriminate unjnstly against
American transportation lines, and in
order 10 make sure of Asiatic trade, that
government imposed duty ON tea and
coffee when imported from The United
States.
Commissioner O'Brien regards all this
as nh assault ON the dignity as well as ON
the commercial and shipping interests OF
the United States, and as a protective
measure recommends the imposition of a
duty on Asiatic goods when imported into
tho United States from Canada. When
the tonnage Of American built vessels
employed IN tho domestic trade Of the
country advanced, the unprotected for
eign branch of our merchant marine de-
clined. He docs not regard the measures
Of relief already as adequate to the resto-
ration of American supremacy In shipping
commerce.

According to adviccs from Chicago there
are 10000 loaded grain cars in that city,
and there is absolutely no place to unload
them. Every elevator Is crammed to tic
caves, few of the shippers are inclined
to pay the rail rate, and q majority Of the
boats do not care to take grain at any price.
The reason for tho lack of lake trans
portation is that every elevator from
Toledo TO Buffalo seems to be as full AZ
these in Chicago. Apparently this city is
as badly blocked as Chicago, and grain
cars through to this point might as well be
