country who has persisted IN building
ships i'll the face Of what other builders
have considered disaster. During the
first administration Of Cleveland grass
grew in every wooden shipbuilding
yard on both coasts, But daring the last
few years of the eighties Mr.. Sewall,
believing that Il turn for the better had
or soon would come, resumed building,
and with greater earnostness than ever
before.
There followed in quick succession
four monsters, each representing a sum
beyond 1925, 600. These were the Rap
pahannock, Shenandoah, Susquehanna
and Roanoke, all wooden vessels, aver
of carrying easily n tonnage i'll cargo of
half as much moro. OF these vessels the
Rappahannock was destroyed by fire
from spontaneous combustion i'll the
South Pacific ocean some years ego.
The other three are still afoat, max
ing the long voyages, and one or an
other is frequently seen i'll the East
river. The Roanoke is the largest This
ship, built in 1892, and with New York
as her hailing port. measures 3, 400 tons.
The Shenandoah measures 1888 and
the Susquehanna 2,620. All are mag
niflcent vessels, and as a fleet are classed
superior to any other similar fioot under
ono control in the world Tho last ship
constructed by Mr. Sewall is the Dirigo.
This vessel was launched two years ago
and measures 1856 tons. She is built
of steel and is the first steel sailing
ship built in America. To show in what
proportion the business of the Sewall
family has grown in comparison with
the growth Of other large businesses Of
the country il may be stated that the
tonnage of the Indiana, launched in
1876, is /, 4S8, while that Of the Roam
okc, launched 10 years later, is 3,400,
nearly az times as great.
In addition t. his large fleet of square
rugged deep water ships, Mr. Sowall
has constructed and manages large
fleet of three and four masted schooners,
which are engaged i'll the coal. ice and
lumber trade ON the Atlantic coast. One
of these vessels. tho Carrie A. Lane,
three masted schooner of less than 500
tons. was sent some years ago around
Cape Horn from New York to San
Francisco. She was the first vessel of
anything like her kind or size to make
this voyage.
His Faith In Our Merchant Marine.
Though little given to exploiting his
opinions, Mr. Sewall can always DO
aroused to enthusiasm ON his favorite
topic of the future of Americas mer-
chant marine
He said in 1894; "We will yet build
az many steel ships as we have wooden
ones If congress will only continue 10
keep out foreign ships from competition
in our own trade with those built on
this side. would like to SEQ all our
ships continued to be treated as well rs
we have our coastwise traffic, in which
case we are sure 10 have ut no distant
day the finest merchant marine ahoat.
The only reason that we have any large
ships afoat today is because the New
York and San Francisco trade comes
within the definition Of coastwise traffic.
"There is great surplus tonnage
ahoat, it is true. but with that it sim
ply comes 10 question of the survival
of the fittest, and we could be counted
upon TO take far more than our share.

In 1873 the price of wheat was
$1.34 per bushel and of silver $1.156
per fine ounce; in 1873 wheat was
worth $1.31 and silver $1.29. In
other words, wheat was higher by
three cents per bushei five years after
the "crime" than at the time it was
committed, and silver was 1874 cents
lower. The period 1878-1883 was
the period, of greatest relative ex-
port from the United States, we
having exported 64.9 per cent of the
whole output of the wheat>producing
countries. In other words, when
we were producing a very large per
cent of the wheat-the total output
being much smaller than any year
since we were paid the highest
price. A close examination of the
statistics demonstrates what Bryan
will not concede- that supply and
demand fix prices.
