The American Flag Fast Dlsappcarin.
from Ocean Going Vessels.
The statistics for the month OF July,
1898, show continued decrease of the
proportion OF American commerce car
ried in American vessels. In July.
1897. the percentage as to imports was
1871 and of exports S.5. For the same
month this year the imports carried in
American vessels have decreased to 10
and the exports to SO per cent OF the
whole. AT present the average Of
strictly oversee American commerce
carried by American vessels is esti-
mated at rather less than 6 per cent.
Here is pitiful showing for nation
of 75,O0O,000 of people. The Dutch and
the Norwegians are carrying almost as
much of our commerce as are the ships
flying the American flag. while the
amounts OF merchandise transported to
and from this country by British, Ger
man and French vessels are ten tiInez
the amounts OF our foreign trade car
ried in our own ships. The figures for
the month of July. 1898, are as fol-
lows:
American commerce carried
in American vessels .... 81, ,932, ,94S
American commerce carried
in foreign vessels .... LOG, ,27s, ,443
The need OF protection on the sea TO
supplement the tremendous advantages
OF protection on land is by these fg-
ures demonstrated with startIing clear
ness. A hundred years ago, when pro-
lection at sea was paramount Ameri.
can policy. the above proportions were
almost exactly reversed. and over 90
per cent of American commerce camt
and went in Yankee ships. The pro
portions of 1898 should be restored. Il
will take years to do it. but for that
very reason the operation OF reversal
should be commenced without delay

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-07-27
: BAASEN BACK.
The Young and Merry Gold Hunter Return
Unexpectedly. No Gold In Sight.

Richard Baasen, who left this city il
February for the Copper River district
in Alaska, returned to his home on Sat
urday. .-s.-..
His search for gold, of course. had
been futile. His opportunities for get
ting rid of it were naturally nearer at
hand. In fact the trip cost him in the
neighborhood of $500.
The experience, however, was worth,
in Dicks mind, all that it cost. Leaving
Port Valdes early in March, three months
were consumed In reaching the Copper
River. Obstacles of every conceivable
nature, almost, were encountered, and
not the least were the awful glaciers, and
the poisonous mosquitoes. About the
middle of June, Dick and his party
reached the mouth of the Klutina river
which empties into the Copper, abont
1876 miles from Port Valdes. Here the
trip was brought to sudden end by
glaciers that it is impossible to pass at
this season Of the year, and as Dick
learned from parties who had been at
the very source of the river that no gold
was to he found he concluded that the
wisest course was to return.
Accordingly on the 29th of June he
started out overland to Port Valdes, a
distance of 125 miles. As 1t is daylight
all the while in that country at this sea-
son of the year, they walked 10 hours
out of the "a and reached Valdes on Sum
day, the 3ld of July. During this trip
he crossed glacier thirty miles wide
and experlnced no end Of difficulty, in
asmuck as he was encountered with two
aged travellers who begged of the young
man to act as guide.
Dick says the mosquitoes are simply
terrible. They drive all the game away
from the valley and it is impossible for
human being to travel about without
net.
Dick will return to work on the st.
Louis road today, supt. Clark having of
fered him position on the day of his
return.

HE ACCEPTS.
In Brief Letter John Lind Gives Consent to
the Use of His Name as Candidate for
Governor.

Mr.. Lind's reply to the letter of the
notification committees has at last been
received and it takes the form of an &C.
ceptance. He says: Having been form.
ally advised by the several committees
of my denomination for the high office
of governor of our state by the same
forces who co-operated so harm oniopsly
in the last campaign for the accomplish
ment of the reforms set forth, and for
the correction Of the abuses so torcibly
arraigned in the platform adopted, !
have the honor to say that, while did
not desire the nomination which you
have given me, this feeling was not
prompted by Indifference to the cause
which you and your action represent, but
solely by desire that my present sepa-
ration from my family should end my
connection with public affairs in any
other capacity than as a private citizen.
But with the renewed evidence of your
confidence so unanimously expressed, l
feel that owe it to you and to the peo-
pie to cooperate with you in the capac-
ity which you have assigned me, to wrest
! our state from the dominion of personal
I greed and ambition to which it has SO
long been subjected, and to restore in
its place the rule of law-equally ad-
ministered-with justice to I'll interests
and to all of our citizens.
Neither my situation nor my time
permit discussion of the questions in
Evolved in the coming campaign at this
time. I regret this the less as my views
and attitude on public questions have
been fully expressed by my acts and in
my utterances in public life, as we'll as
in the late campaign.
Referring to the names on your ticket
other than my own, I congratulate you
on the selection of candidates. The pa.
triotism of the convention is demonstrate
ed by the choice of men for our supreme
court whose ability IS an honor, and
whose probity and courage have proven
a protection TO the people of our state.
Neither can forbear to express my
appreciation of the wisdom of the con-
vention as shown by its determination
not to permit the simmer of proposed
imperial policy in distant lands to blind

pose /, and Eustis could not hear the

pose l, and Eustis could not hear the
proposition at all.
The St. Paul crowd is just 55eginning
to get sore. Tams Bixby had an idea
that he would be able to get his friend
Harris Richardson on the committee.
He even thought better than that, and
had himself laid out to run the CAM
paign in the capacity Of secretary as
he did two years ago. It seems that q
story got to Eustis' ear to the effect that
Tams was traficking with Collins a
couple of days before the convention,
and when Richardson was proposed he
was turned down so hard that it bumped
his head. Edward Feldhauser sat OUT
side while the meeting was going on,
and was quite willing to bet that he
would be a member of the committee.
Gus. Filter was accepted by Eustis be-
cause he had never heard of HIM bei ore,
and he thought the man from the Sixth
would be innocuous.
Altogether the naming of the commit
tee has made most picturesque row.
There are not three men on the commits
the whose home address can be called off
hand by Bixby, who knows almost every
Republican politician in the state.
The result of it all is the campaign
will be under two managements. The
candidates ou the ticket have decided to
let Eustis have his committee, his chair
man, his $4,000, his, Minneapolis head
quarters and his "policy," and do the
best he can, while they will look after
their own interests from nominal and
mutual headquarters established IN St.
Paul.
