AMERICAN SHIPPING.
WetZel Democrat.

Wetzel Democrat.
Senator Elkins made a good speech
the other day in favor Of his shipping
bill What the Senator says about II c
American NJ chant marine Is true @nC
pity tbs, tits true" There are Euro
pean posts of Importance in which an
American ship has not been seen for
thirty years This must be a melons
choly realization for the American tray
eler who loves his country. For the
swarm of gold busg who go over there
annually to duck their heads before the
British flag this is of no consequence.
But we desire to ask the Senator, in
all kindness, whose fault is it that the
American merchant marine is what it is
and is not what it should be? Of the
past thirty-eight years of government,
the United States has been under Re
publican rule. except eight years, and
four OF them doubtful. Why has the
American merchant marine grown
smaller by degrees and beautifully less
until it is a disgrace to the nation?
Once we were the rovers of the high
seas. prepared to dispute with Britain
the control Of the watery world. But
those we're Democratic days.
