PROTECTION FOR MERCHANT MARINE.
SENATOR HANNA BELIEVES THE BILL HE IN
TRoDUCED IN THE SENATE WILL BE-
COME A Law.

COME A Law
Cleveland Dec Ex-senator Hanna believes that
his bill for the protection Of the American mer-
chant marine will be passed In the course OF the
present session Of Congress. The majority OF the
Senator'S Mr.. Hanna states, feel favorably toward
the measure and he has reason TO believe the
House OF Representatives will pass the bill
The bill was introduced In the Senate last week
by Senator Hanna. and provides that subsidies shall
be paid to certain freight-carrying vessels built IN
America The object OF the bill is 10 encourage
Americans In transacting relations or a commercia
character with the people Of foreign nations III
American bottoms.
ct think the merchant marine interests OF the
United States should have protection as well as tne
steel interests for instance" said Senator Hanna
Here we exporting steel to all parts OF the
world and especially to Eng.an simply because
we have given prote ,ton to that industry. several
generations ago the American merchant marine
would compare favorably with the commerce-carry-
ing vessels Of other countries OF the world. put
latterly we have been dropping behind. until AT
present only per cent Of American frelght Is car
ried in American bottoms. The cause Tor TINS con
dtion lies largely IN the fact that England. yer
many France and other European countries nave
protected their maritime interests by granting sun
sidies TO the companies. The only natura thiils
for us TO do II wish to build up our marti'ne III
terests Is to do the same thing.

Nor wounds with words the mourners ear
But Ills and woes he may not cure
He kindly trains us TO endure

our feverish brows with cooling baIm'
To lay the storms Of hope and fear,
And reconcile life's smile and tear:
The throbs OF wounded grief to still;
And make our own our Fathers Will!
