OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS.

From the tone and temper OF the East
ern press it is evident that as soon as the
| tariff bill is out of the way the attention
of Congress will be called 10 the shipping
| interests of the country and the urgent
| need of building up a merchant marine
| capable of carrying at least the larger por-
| ton of our entire foreign commerce. Many
of the most influential papers IN the larger
cities are actively agitating the question
and there can be no doubt they reflect the
sentiments of large and powerful por-
tion of The people.
A recent article in the american Econo-
mist containing an elaborate review OF the
subject points out that while in 1916 fully
81 per cent of all American ocean carried
exports and imports were handled in
American ships, in the year ending June
80, 1895, American vessels carried exports
and imports valued at only $40 500, 900 out
of total trade of 81 ,456 000, 900, or only
III per cent of the whole. If we had car
ried in 1895 the same percentage that We
carried in 1916, fifty years before, the
value of goods carried in American ships
would have been 81, 176, 900. This
shows loss in value handled by Ameri-
cans of 81, COS, $780, 600 in one year.
The drain thus made upon our resources
by the cost of importing and exporting in
foreign ships is enormous. In recent
address at a conference of shipbuilders
and shfpowners in Washington Charles
H. Cramp estimated that we pay about
$3.50, 100000 year in gold chiefly to the
English for carrying on our foreign COM
merce for u.s. This foreign tribute is one
oe SC
American industry, for it carries out
money for which Ne get nc goods IN re-
turn. 1t has been going on as an ever
increasing burden for upward of fifty
years and it is certainly full time that 1t
should be stopped.
The american Economist very striklngly
says that as a result of this loss of the
ocean carrying trade on our part and its
gain by England 'the true boundary line
of England is at New York and San Fran
cisco and every port of entry on the At
lantic and Pacific Ocean. English ships
convey nearly every busheI Of wheat ex-
ported from Oregon and California;; Eng
lish ships carry an exceedingly large per-
centage of all American exports from At
/ lantic ports. Wherever American products
are transferred to ship carrying an Eng
lish flag there the dominion of the Repub-
lie ends and there the jurisdiction Of Eng
land begins"
The people of the Pacific Coast, and par
ticularly those of San Francisco, have
abundant reason for cordially supporting
the Eastern movement for the revival of
our merchant marine. We have fully as
much, and possibly even more, to gain
from success IN the work than have the
people of the East. Any measure, there
fore. which promises prompt upbuilding
of our shipping interests can count upon
the support OF the Pacific Coast and the
votes of at least all of the Republicans in
our Congressional delegation.

IN GOOD HANDS.

The net results of the Pure-Food Con-
gress in this City were the manifestation
of an earnest public sentiment in favor of
preventing the sale Of adulterated foods
and an arrangement for organizing the
work by entrusting it to the Manufac-
turers' and Producers Association and to
the various Boards of Health throughout
the State. These results amply justified
the assem- bling OF the convention and
afford basis for believing that the cru
SADIE for pure food will be conducted to a
speedy success.
The various addresses delivered before
the convention clearly prove the evils
which authorizations do to our trade as
well as to the health of our people. With
that evidence to work upon it ought not
to be difficult TO awaken the attention
even of citizens who have hitherto been
indifferent to the subject, and convince
them that it is to their interest and vel.
