should be no temptation for any presi-

OUR DISAPPEARING SHIPS.

The annual report of the national bureau
of navigation, which has just been issued.
Is an interesting document. Among the
facts disclosed by 1t are that the numbers
and tonnage of our merchant fleet are
both smaller at this time than they were a
year ago. On June 30 last the American
fleet comprised %, 240 documented vessels
of 4,635, $50 tons, while on June 30, 1894, the
tonnage Of 20, 400 vessels vas $4,000 greater.
The report strongly emphasizes the need
of a free ship bill. It says the fact that
the Americans cannot buy ships where
American flag is the chief reason that the
United States and Italy alone, among
maritime nations, have a smaller carry
ing capacity on the ocean than they had
urged congress to pass the free ship bill.
The significant fact is adduced that last

tween the United States and Europe was

this proposition. The good results of the
experiment In the case Of the four steam
ers named, 1t Is declared, proves that the
principle can be made general with entire
safety. The subject of subsidies Is dis
cussed briefly. The report asserts that
subsidies have little support In. this coun-
try, and u full translation Is given of the
repOrt of President Faure, Minister Sieg-
fried. and other F'rench statesmen, show
ing the meagre results and great expense
OF the French subsidy system. TIL abol-
ishment of compulsory pllotage on coast
ing vessels In the ten states from Mary
Ian to Texas is recommended as being a
discrimination against American sailing
vessels and in favor of foreign steamers.
-:O:-
That congress will be expected at the
coming session to take measures looking
to the restoration of our merchant marine
Is undeniable. There will be strong oppo-
sitiOn to the free ship bill, but the alterna-
tive proposed In the report would seem TO
offer a fair and desirable basis of compro
mise. One thing at least is certain: the
future expansion of American trade and
American ideas depends almost wholly
upon the development of an American
merchant marine not last but first In the
list Of the worlds commercial nayies.
