American Action in Porto Rico Is Not

NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-A dispatch to
the Times from London says;
The Daily Chronicle, IN strongly Worded
editorial article upon the American Philip
pine question, says:
1T is rather disquietlng TACT that no
sooner is American authority firmly estab--
lshed over Porto Rico than a medieval
navigation law is passed killing at single
stroke important Canadian shipping trade
with the island and making 1t Impossible
for any but American ships to trade between
America and her colony.
This is not an open door 1t is a door
shut, boted. locked and barricaded. The
Canadian commissioners naturally feel keen
" the blow thus dealt their country, and
regard it as bad augury for the success OF
the negotiations now in their hands.
"A much graver question Is asked, now
ever: Does the American propose to es-
tablsh an open door in the Philippines or
propose to shut il fast with an obscurantst
policy worse than that of France. Russia,
or even Spain herself:
I'VE, as nation, have much the longest,
widest colonial experience. Our colonies
are not only the most loyal. but the best
and most numerous colonies in the world.
BY our methods in the colonies we have
created two great virtually Independent ma
tions. What has the opposite policy done
1t has created the colonies OF France, where
the resources of the mother country are
swallowed up as if by bottomless swamp.
These facts are so well known in Ger
many, and in Europe where the principal
protection is hardly less revered than in
Washington itself, that as we announce to-
day policy of an open door in Asia, it has

nations.
America cannot have driven out the in
iquities of Spanish rule only to retain its
ignorance and make commercial suicide
of it.
deep disappointment will be felt
throughout the British empire-disappoin
ment equal to that now experienced by the
Canadian commissione1s-if the first re-
suit of the sympathy of the support of the
United States which this nation has given
with its whole heart, and would. under all
circumstances have given. should be to
close one more link to that free and open
trade which is the only true advance agent
of prosperity, the sign of civilization and

except for their competency. He regretted
that his business before the water arbitra-
ton board would prevent his making an
extended personal canvass, but would trust
to his record for reelection
C. H. Hance discussed the necessity for a
thoroughly businesslike working in the city
clerks Office and claimed that such had
been the reputation of the office during his
incumbency. He promised that if re-elect-
ed the office would be no less efficient in the
future than in the past.
George Harlan claimed the suffrages Of
the electors of Los Angeles for the tax col
lectorship by reason of long experience
in business affairs. He claimed that the
future opening before the city necessitated
the election of men fully competent to meet
with new questions which would arise and
proved that the union ticket presented none
but fully qualified men.
Mr. Harlan was followed by Will E. Keller,
candidate for councilman from the Seventh
ward. He was followed by William H.
Smylie, who wishes to represent the same
ward in the board of education. Mr.. Smy-
lie wished to correct the erroneous report
which has obtained some credence, that
owing to the withdrawal of s. w. Hawkins
there is no union candidate in the field for
the board of education from the Seventh
ward.
Charles G. holster, candidate for superin.
tendent of streets, presented his qualifica

already had in the street department. He
promised, if elected, to represent all wards
and to carry out to the best of his ability the
wishes of the people.
James Ashman, the present councilman
from the Seventh ward, made few remarks
claiming that the Democrats in the present
council had been the movers in the effort
to keep up the price for city lIbor, and hence
the necessity for electing Democratic coun
ell, which would be friendly toward the
laborng man.

Out of the millions of bushels of grain al
ready shipped from here this year not one
bushel went aboard an American vessel, and
probably S. per cent of it was carried by
British bottoms, while Norwegian and Swe-
dish tramps came in for the other Ii per
cent.
A rough estimate of what will be paid for
cgn shipowners this year for the carrying
abroad of goods places the figures somewhat
in excess of $2OO,OOO,O00. The fact is that
the civil war saw the decadence OF the Amer
lean mercantile marine. but the late war
with Spain, in the opinion of many, will lead
to its revival.
Americans since the late war have become
thoroughly aroused as to the necessity of the
maintenance of an increased mercantile ma
rine. Territorial expansion, should present
navigation laws continue in vogue, renders
it absolutely necessary that American YES
