ton. The needs and demands Of the
American merchant marine, albeit of
vital consequence TO the people Of the
Atlantic coast states, received scarcely
a word of recognition. So far as the
voters Of these localities wereinformed,
the issue of marine protection and the
restoration of American shipping was
not involved In the campaign.
Mark the result! The republican ma
jority in the national house OF represen-
tatiyes was wiped out by losses In the
western, middle and eastern states and
the control of the house by majority
now estimated at 10 was saved 10 the
republican party by the gains of con-
gressmen in the states west Of the Mis-
souri, river. Leaving out the gains in
these states, where the doctrine OF pro-
lection was made the leading issue OF
the campaign, the lower house OF the
Flfty-sixth congress would be In the
control OF coalition OF democrats, pop
ulists and free silverites.
There is possibly n lesson in these
facts that campaign managers would
do well TO keep in mind hereafter.

DISCRIMINATION.
shipmasters I'm the Foreign Trade
An Impressive showing.

The absolute need OF adequate protec-
ton for American ships engaged in the
oversee traffic is impressively set forth
In the current number of the American
Economist, In the contribution en-
titled: sour Commerce and Naviga-
tion.--XvI.n The writer, whose thor
ough knowledge Of the subject Is appar-
ent. demonstrates clearly with what
merciless vigor Great Britain. free
trade in all other things, enforces the
protective principle for the benefit OF
her vast shipping interests. This Ia
done through discriminative marine
insurance system which Is fatal to fair
competition. No American ship need
hope for justice or fair play from this
British protective agency. He will seek
in vain for classification and an insur-
ance rate that will enable him 10 obtain
cargo and TO operate his ship on even
terms with the favored British ship
owner. No matter II his vessel came to
him as n gift. no matter II American
sailors were willing TO accept the lower
wage rate and the subsistence which
British seamen must accept, the Amer
lean ship still suffers from the heavy
handicap which England's marine pro-
tective policy places upon all ocean car
riers sailing under n non-British flag.
To overcome this British insurance
handicap and place American vessels on
an equal footing in respect of oversee
traffic would involve the payment OF
subsidies and bounties in such enor-
nous sums as TO brighten the American
tax payer into fit Of terror at the in
terminable prospect OF drain upon the
national treasury. The people of the
United States are not likely TO look
with favor upon any such attempt to
solve the difficulty. They will see an
other and better solution ready at
hand. They will demand that we fight
the devil with fire, meet discrimination
with discrimination. by means of addi-
tional duties imposed upon all foreign
merchandise brought to this country IL

II Is fact OF history that in the
states of the far west the campaign

the issue OF protection. The extract
Just quoted from the Tacoma Ledger
Is fair sample of the arguments and
appeals relied upon by the leading re
publican newspapers of the Pacific
coast 10 reach the intelligence of
voters. Day after day. week after week,
the journals supporting President Nc
Kinley's administration and its policies
spread before their readers the facts
and figures of revived prosperity under
protection, as contrasted with the
facts and figures OF depression and ruin
under four years of free trade and tar
iff tinkering. Every republican speaker
followed the same line.
A different policy was pursued in
the middle and eastern states, more
particularly the Atlantic coast states
In these states the tariff was almost
entirely ignored alike by newspapers
and campaign speakers on the repub-
lican side. Naturally IL was ignored on
the democratic side. Republican writers
and orators had little or nothing to say
about the leading feature in the policy
