We Amaze the FOREIGNER.

From plymouth to Calais there is a
chain of decayed seaports and idle ship
yards--a chain of rotten wharves, tum-
ble-down piers, shipless harbors and
old sailors, says H. Phelps Whitmarsh,
in Atlantic. All speak eloquently of
great carrying trade, of great foreign
shipping interest, of a great marine
power-that was. The foreigner, when
he looks at all this for the first time,
and realizes what has been lost, stands
aghast, and finds himself wondering
whether the high estimate set upon the
American people as an energetic busi-
ness nation is not, after all, an unmerv
tied one.
