DEMOCRACY ON SHIPPING.


Has No Plan by which to Build Up
Can Only Tear Down.
Inc platform utterance OF the Dem
ocratic party regarding American
shipping is a clear index of the inher-
fnt inability of that party to con-
struct. II seems only to be able to op-
pose and denounce the constructive
policies of its progressive political OPP
ponents.
The foreign of the United
States is regarded the world over as
the most important of all. To this
country come the finest foreign ships.
n greatest and most powerful steam
snip lines vie with each other for our
trade. The largest, the swiftest, the
safest and the most luxurious ships
that are built are for the carrying of
the trade in merchandise, passengers,
tpecie and mails from and to the
United States.
Blu s per cen of our foreign trade
Is carried in American ships. For
eign ships carry 92 per cent. This
carrying is worth fully 5000. O00, 900
each year. All but 8 per cent of 1t
goes out of the pockets of American
producers and consumers for paying
foreigners for doing our foreign carry
Ing. Not only does 1t go out OF our
peoples pockets. but 1t goes out of the
country. 1t goes abroad and is there
used to pay for the building and run
ming of foreign ships. 1t gives the en-
ployment to foreigners hat the carry
Ing OF u foreign commerce creates.
People ask. Why is this? The an
swer is simple. Foreign ships are
built mo cheaply than American
ships. This, however, is a %disadvan-
tage that could in time be overcome II
the shipbuilding industry we're put on
a basis of permanency. II a steady and
large demand were created for our
ships very soon the cost of their con-
struction would be reduced to the level

Democracy is still devoted to free
trade and Its reputation of the Wilson
