InexpIicabIe and lndefensible.

Tt has been the misfortune of President
Cleveland that he has never been able TO
grasp the lessons of events. Preconcelved
theories dominate him to an astonishing
degree. So tenaciously does he adhere to
them that he has on humber of notable
occasions exposed himself to the ridicule
of the whole country and has brought IT.
retrievable disaster upon his party Not
many weeks ago it was his duty, as it was
also his privilege, to be present in the
greatest of American ship yards, at the
launching Of one of the finest iron war
ships in the whole world. 1t was essen
TALLY an American prodnct, built from
American plans, of American material,
by American workmen. 1t would GER
tainly seem as if this magnificent spectacle
might well have stimulated some feeling
of national pride in the breast of the chief
executive Of the American people; but it
seems that it did not. The President
went home and as soon as "sprained leg
permitted went to work upon his message
Meanwhile the people went to the polls
and overwhelmingly repudiated the free
trade fallacies of the Democratic party;
but even the bitter lessons of defeat failed
to penetrate the thick epidermis of Mr..
Cleveland. AS a result he comes forward
in his message as the earnest champion
of free ships. He would legislate in favor
OF the ship yards of the Mercy and the
CLYDE rather than those at Philadelphia,
San Francisco, Bath and other centers of
the American ship building centers. If
he should be successful in his free ship
building would soon become one of the
"lost arts" in this country. Either this
would be the case or the thousands of fine
workmen now engaged in this industry
in the United Statesmen whose pro-
ducts excite the envy and admiration
of the naval world-will be obliged to
come down to the European standard of
wages in order that the unrestricted for
eign competition that the President is so
anxious to invite may be met in this coun-
try. We presented figures at some length
Yesterday, which show that the United
States is today-in spite of President
Cleveland's effort to convey a contrary
impression, the United States is today
the second country in the world in point
of maritime strength. Even Great Britain
is Obliged to include the shipping of her
colonies in order to show lead over us.
In view of this fact the President bitter
and vindictive attack upon American
shipping vindictive is as inexplicable as it
is indefensible.

The Brighter Side.

So many jeremiads have been sung over
the alleged decline of the American mer-
chant marine and it has been SO univer-
sally assumed that this great interest was
afflicted with something like galloping
consumption, that the hard facts and fig
ures of the report of the United States
commissioner of navigation will be re-
ceived and read with genuine amazement
Last year was not a particularly prosper
Gus one for the ocean carrying trade
Like everything else it felt the blight of
the tariff smashers' supremacy. Because
of that and of the menace of a free ship
bill the product of our shipyards fell off
l1S vessels and 80, 900 tons from the record
of the year preceding. But there was con-
structed a very handsome fleet of S3S ves-
sells, steam and sail, wood, steel and iron,
aggregating 13l, 1876 tons, not including
the immense ships Of the American line
approaching completion in Philadelphia
These figures place America as ship
building nation far and away ahead Of
every other country in the world except
Great Britain. Foreign statistics for 1894
are not yet available, but in 1892, accord

with the United States, these continental
powers are nowhere. We fancy that this

have swallowed the walls of the calamity
newspapers that shipbuilding is ''lost
art" in America, and that the Stars and
Stripes have vanished from the ocean"
But this is not the only feature of the
commissioner report which upsets lot
of melancholy superstitions. How many
Americans are there who know that the
past year actually witnessed an increase
in our tonnage engaged in foreign tradei
Yet this is the irrefutabie testimony of the
official statistics. In 1893 there was
ss3, 1879 tons of shipping under the Ameri
can flag registered for foreign commerce
This yeaI tho total is 9l6, $50 tons-a small
gain indeed, but that there should be any
gain at all is fatty contrary to widespread
popular impressions. Moreover, the gross
tonnage of our shipping has increased
nearly half million tons within decade

figures accurately measure the reaI

Some Objections.

Objections to the currency plan en-
dorsed by President Cleveland and Sccre
tary Carlisle are not yet fully formulated
but they are being put forward in gen
cral way. Among the more prominent of
those already advanced are that the safe
guards thrown about the state banks un
der this plan are inadequate. 1t is argued
that there is no provision sufficiently
auent intervals whether the banks capital
may be "unimpaired." Just at this time
the inability or incompetency of bank
examiners to keep posted regarding a
banks conditions is illustrated in the
Shoe and Leather Bank of New York,
that lost 1880 900 through collusion be-
tween rascally depositor and book
keeper The keystone and Spring Garden
banks of Philadelphia are recent examples
of the same kind of inefficency on the
part of bank examiners. Under such con-
ditions, supposing the banks capital to be
one million dollars it would have the
right to issue its notes to three quarters
of a million upon a security deposit of a
little more than quarter million. Now
should this half million in circulation rest
upon capital that at the time might, as
experience has shown, become unavailable
there would likely arise a suspicion
against these notes which would be disas-
trous A weak bank is just as likely to
have large capital and large circulation
as a strong one. Again, the strong, con-
servatively managed institution must be
taxed to make good the losses occasioned
by the reckless management of its rival.
The liability which rests upon the stock
holders has very uncertain foundation and
would it is argued encourage fraud. The
depositors i'm the bank being subjected to
a second lien are placed at disadvantage.
The state banks are given an advantage
over the national banks it is believed by
many in that their circulation is likely
to become more profitable than that of ths
national hanks. 1t is believed by some
that the admission of the state banks will
cause initiation of paper currency. These
are some of the objections thrown out in
n tentative sort of way, but which convey
an idea of the line of attack that will be
adopted.

half, and while in 1884 our iron and steel
tonnage was only 8 per cent of the total,
it is now 90 per cent.
Commissioner Chamberlain estimates
that, considering the greater efficiency u
steam tonnage, the carrying power of the
American merchant fleet, which was
placed at $4,000 tons in 1884, may be
now put at fully 100000. In 1884 tn.
steel merchantmen under the American
flag aggregated only 5000 tons. In 1881
the total is $4,000. Ten years ago only
four ports in the United States possessed
shipyards capable of building steel vessels
