American Shipbuilding.

The determination of the Cramps to
construct a big shipbuilding plant at
Seattle to meet the increasing demands
of the Pacific coast is only one of
many indications of the large part Amer
lea is to have in the manufacturing and
the carrying trade of the world. Such a
firm as the Cramps would not spend So
O,O0O, and enter into competition with
the present San Francisco establishment.
which has a plant equipped to turn out
the largest battleships unless they
foreSaw development of Pacific COM
merce on vast scale an also believed
that there was a good chance to draw to
the United States a large amount of for
egn shipbuiding.
Under the fostering care of a protective
tariff We have been enabled to develop
our great coal and iron deposits and build
up our great steel works while paying
adequate wages, until now they are able
to compete with foreign work in foreign
lands The recent bid of an American
bridge-builder i'm Holland. the electric APP
paratus being furnished for London and
the railroad building in the East all tes-
tify to that fact. BY keeping our own
markets we have trained ourselves until
We are almost at the point of mastery.
The old world has possession of the mar
kets and lower scales of wages. but
many European economists predict that
those advantages will not avail them long
in the face of the steady improvements in
American methods and the superior nat
ural advantages here.
So in branching out with their ship
building facilities the Cramps will be adj
vancing to meet what many English
thinkers concede to be manifest industrial
destiny. Their efforts to build up Amer
lean shipbuilding have met with bitter
opposition, at times even in official quar-
tiers. The protection afforded them has
been ridculed and attacked but they
have gone on. and bid fair soon to show
detractors that the industry that was
said to be foolish toy is really source
of power to the country. 1t is not to be
forgotten that England created her ship
building by rigid protection when New
England could launch wooden vessels to
compete with her. and when iron and
steel replaced wood in the infancy of our
Woodworking she took advantage of the
lead she had thus maintained to grasp
the shipbuilding of the world. Many here
have urged that it be left to her, and
that We might better buy her ships than
try to make them, but we have wisely
persevered in our Traditional policy, and
are likely to reap great reward.

We can imagine that the person not

enterprise that have characterized the
long and useful career of the Lewiston

such as a metropolitan journal might

undertaking from his Lewiston paper
Perhaps that is one reason why our
contemporary has gone to the expense
of the enlargement, for it seemed as Ii
the paper was good enough before.
However the new Linotype machines
and the big Hoe press are in line with
the demands of this ever growing
newspaper and in accord with the APP
parent motto of the publishers none
but the best will do.

The Case Of China.

The case of China is indeed an inter-
esting one, and there is every reason
why the American people should share
in the interest. 1t will. however, re-
Quire more than the elOquence Of
Senator Morgan to convince them that
the United States government should
thrust itself into the midst Of the situa-
ton either in the role of peace
maker or piece taker. We have great
commercial interests in that region ana
they are utterly insignificant as COM
pared with what the future holds in
promise. All this in and Of
itself. let alone all the con-
elusive reasons for annexation,
might warrant our taking possession of
the Hawaiian islands. 1t does not
however, warrant our forcible inter-
vention in the Chinese situation
; Under her traditional! foreign policy
there is, it would seem, every reason
why England Should wish to intervene
even to the extent of war if necessary.
Her policy has been to protect her i'm
mense commercial interests at any
cost. She has very little sentiment in
those matters, she was in no mood to
risk war on account of the slaughter Of
Armenians, there was nothing in that
threatening her pocket, and there
might have been had she not assumed
the humble role, humiliating as it was
for her. But in China the situation is
different The possibilities of the trade
which that region offers are immense:
moreover they are such as England
with her already large Oriental trade
might well feel that she could not
afford to fail of sharing in.
She did not do what some thought
she would, when Japan was forced to
relax her grasp on China after .th~.
war, take the side of the England Of
the Pacific and thus ally herself WITH
the aggressive little power with its
formidable navy. Now England IS
taking steps that look to such coop
GRAFTON in time of need. Already Great
Britain has more ships in that part Of
the world than all of the other Euro
pean powers and with the aid of Japan
could command the naval situation.
Already it is reported that England has
seized the island of Chusan at the mouth
of the Kiang river, an islanl
that would command, virtually, the
deep sea approaches to Port Arthur
which Russia holds, also Kiao Chau
which Germany has recently seized
If this be so she has Outwitted her OPP
ponents in one of the first moves on the
Oriental checkerbOard.

Says Lewiston business man:
Sometimes this talk of dull Christmas
trade is contagious. One business man
meets another and they compare notes.
One says his trade is dull, not nearly
as good as last Christmas, and the
other man says that the same is true
of his trade. Wednesday night | was
talking with a member of our firm who
said our trade or business was away
behind that of last Christmas. 1 said it
was not over 10 per cent. less. He set
it at lower figure. We went over the
books and made comparative state
ments. The figures were for three days
this week and the corresponding three
days in Christmas week, SO. We were
both surprised to find that our sales
had actually been nearly 10 per cent.

Cause Of Postal Deficit

~ O00SU W VSA8b VVssSss
If we may believe the half of a re-
port recently given circulation, and
which is in effect that the government
is annually being robbed of from six To
eight million dollars in the matter OF
mail TRANSFORMATIONS. it would seem
that the plans heretofore advanced for
preventing deficit in that department
have entirely overlooked very i'm
portant leak and one which should re-
ceive immediate consideration. IL
seems, however, to be of a kind diff
cult to stop.
The report of this cause of great de-
felt was sent to the New York Herald
by its Washington correspondent 1t
alleges that these frauds are pefpe-
trated at the time of the weighing OF
the mails for the purpose Of arranging
transportation terms with the trans
portation companies for the four Ell
suing years.
10 quote 1lOlIl tuC y ANs''AN
fraud in connection with the transporta-
ton of the mails has led to an increas-
ing annual postal deficit when there
should. be'a surplus. For hauling 200
pounds of mail one mile every day for
a year the government pays $42.75. For
greater weights the rate per pound
rapidly dminishes. To ascertain these
weights the country is divided into
four divisions, each of which is taken
up once every four years. The post
office department SENDS out men. VINO
travel for enc month ON each postal
car in the country, weighing the mails
and noting the distances they are car
ried On the results the rates of pay
are based. Here are some of the
methods used according to officials of
the postotfice department: and II
are two towns. 100 miles apart. Mid
way between them a branch road leads
off to one side. Forty-seven months
out of the forty-eight the railroad drops
the mail for the branch road at the
junction. During the time of the
weighing the train from A carries these
mails. say, thirty miles past the june
ton, until ii meets the train from b. to
which it transfers them TO e. and
where they are carried back to the
junction. In this way it gets the credit
for carrying this mail for 10 miles al
$42.15 per leo pounds.
Another method widely pursued is
to make an arrangement with big pa
tent medicine concerns by which the
roads pay the postage on their adver-
tisements if they send them during the
weighing months. AS many as four
teen carloads of circulars made up as
newspaper matter have been sent
through the mails al single shipment
by one large advertiser. A carload
may by estimated at forty thousand
pounds. This second class matter then
pays postage of one cent per pound.
$500 per carload and $500 for the four
teen carloads. This the railroad pays"
