20 This country, landing, not at Baltimore hor
any other port but Ncw-fork
This city, IL Is evident, Is destined to remain
tho commercial capital, rs 1t is also the general
business and social capital OF the United STATES.
O,her ports have made and are making great
efforts TO rival 1t, but In vain. 1t Is greatly IN
,urcd by neglect and abuse, but not destroyed
In spite Of all rivalry. and in spite OF the mar
florence OF It's own citizens who have never nail
realized their great opportunities. 1t still holds us
nlocc so far ahead Of all would.be competitors
that there is no second" Nor is it difficult TO
discover the reason NcwYork has harbor uh-
eouallcd by any on the entire Atlantic coast. IL
has the best railroad connections with all parts
~ the country; and 1t is Of all ports having adc
oratc railroad service, the nearest 10 Europe
These facts alone assure IT supremacy. Never
theIcss. II Is mischevous folly to rest Idly upon
them The advantages they afford should De
suppementcd by generous and earnest efforts TO
add 10 them all that lies within the compass OF
human skill and power. The deepening ana
nreservatlon Of the harbor and It's approaches,
the improvement and extension Of the water
front. and the enlargement and perfection OF all
terminal facilities are works that should be
pres;ed as vigorously as though New-York were
struggling for existence in competition with pow
erful and successful rivals.
The third item was from Ottawa. and told that
the New-Zcaand Government has granted n
yearly subsidy Of 100000 to Pacific steamships
for calling there on both Journeys between Can
ada and Australia, for mails to and from Great
Britain the mails being carried across this con-
tlnent by the Canadian Government free OF
charge. That ndcates,the only serious rivalry
with which this city and this country have TO
cone: and indicates, too, the source Of It's
strength 1t Is by such policy that Great
Britain and her colonies have built up the great
est mercantile marine in the world. There is
scarcely one British trade route that Is not
marked from end to end with postal subsidies or
other forms of Government encouragement.
There are those in this country-Anglomania
too by a perverse rony-who profess to have an
inter horror even Of the word subsidy" If their
salaries. or dividends or other incomes, should
be called subsidies. they would probably refuse
TO receive them. They may have other and bet
fer plans for the extension Of trade and develop
ment Of commerce. If so. 1t would be a sweet
boon for them to unfold them. Unless they do
so. we are afraid great many people will con-
tinue to think that If nation wants a mercantile
marine it should use It's best ports. make them
rs commodious as possible, and then extend to Its
own enterprises the reasonable encouragement
OF It's own patronage

ABOUT THE MONOPOLIES.

Some of our manufacturing friends. in the
process Of bargain and sale in the Senate last
year, obtained all they wanted. Their relations
with the Democratic Senators who helped them
are naturally friendly. But they may wisely Re
member that there are others TO be considered,
whose interests a Republican Congress VIII be
under the highest obligation TO protect If there
are special interests favored at the expense of
many others equally deserving. that feature Of
Democratic legislation will not be spared when
the Republicans have power to get AT II. II looks
as If there were certain iron manufacturers
whose peculiar interests had been regarded en-
tlrcly without respect TO the general welfare Of
the iron or any other industry On the face of
things the wool-grOwers were treated with con
tempt while some manufacturers of wool have
more advantages than they had under a Repub-
lican tariff. These things call attention 10 the
men and the interests which found way 10
placatc Democratic hostility.
The Republican policy has been expressed in
repeated acts Of Congress Men who do not like
it, or the unrlvacl prosperity which resulted
need be no doubt. nor Is there any room for ques-

THREE SHIPPING ITEMS.

There appeared simultaneously in the public
prints last week three items Of news relating to
ocean shipping They were brief Items, and
were probably passed over by many readers as
unconsdercd trfes. They came from three dIf
ferent places. in three different countries. and
related 10 three entirely different and distinct oc
currenccs Each, however, was in its way highly
significant, and all taken together were har
moniousy suggestive Of some Of the most I'M
portant considerations regarding the American
mercantile marine.
One was a dispatch from Baltimore stating
that the North German Lloyds Company has de-
cided TO suspend its irst-class passenger service
from that port to Bremen during the coming fall
and winter. Its four large vessels will probably
be transferred 10 the NewYork route. and three
freight and stecrage boats Of another line will
take their place. The change, II was added is TO
be made on account Of poor business at Balt

Baltimore 1t will hurt the ciiy's pride. ard IFS
business interests, too. But Ii was practically
inevitable. Other things being equal travel will
seek the shortest and quickest routes; and north.
ern routes Of course shorter than southern
ones Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars have
been expended on a single ship, just 10 shorten
It's time OF transit by few hours. In such cir
cumstanccs ii il not to be expected that much
passenger travel will 10 by way Of Baltimore

rule oppressed and defrauded the laborer
charging him exorbitant profit on the goods
which he must buy Of them go without.
Compared with the cooperative distribution
stores organized by 100 different societies in
England and conducted on the plan OF giving
the working people who trade In them full value,
they make a sordid and rather iniquitous show
ing. There is no cause to regret their extinction.
Their history has been grasping and covetous
one from the beginning, doing a rule no credit
to the companies which organized and conducted
them. or to anybody else or old these operations
showed profit. but their abandonment indicates
that this has vanished, giving the sign that 1t Is
time for them to vanish Also as the last OF them
is about to do.
