brought out an interesting question as
to whether or not vessel from thai

as a coastwise port and it is claimed
that under the existing acts of assem-

exempt from the necessity of taking
pilot. In New York a suit is now
pending between the New York AMI
Porto Rico Steamship company and the
pilots over this same question, and The
decision of the court is awaited with
more than usual interest.

PURSER'S ESCAPE.

Very rough weather is reported all
along the coast and crossing the chan
mel. Purser Howard Adams of the
Noeau had narrow escape from death
while his vessel was at Honokaa. de
was standing on the forward rail ot
the vessel watching for the boat when
an immense sea struck the Noeau,
knocking Adams overheard. He went
down quite distance and the vessel
was rolling so hard that the keel of
the steamer caught him and carried
him under the vessel to the other side,
where he bobbed up serenely and was
hauled onto the deck. His arms ana
shoulder are badly bruised by bump
ing along the barnacles on the Noeau's
bottom and sides.

American Fruit Trust Has Charter

Philadelphia, Aug 6.-Prohably
never before has the necessity for re-
Mobilization OF the American merean-
tile marine appealed more forcibly -
the capitalists of this country than
within the last few years, and last
week the statement was made that the
American Fruit trust had chartered.
for periods ranging from one to three
years. fleet of foreign steamships,
numbering some forty in all, to carry
bananas, etc, from the West Indies to
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston.
This, figuring most conservatively
on the rates that must be paid for the
hire of these vessels, means that with
in the next three years there will be
taken out of this country monthly
100000, or s1,200,00 annually, and
s3,600000 in the three years.
These figures are considered astound-
ing, but, nevertheless, inasmuch as
they apply only to the West India ba-
mana trade the assertion made not long
since that from s400,O0O,00O to $780,
100000 of American money are cap
tured annually by the foreign ship
owners seems not very wide Of The
mark
Saturdays Press contained in It's
column of charters the names Of the
fleet of vessels chartered by the Amer
lean Fruit trust and it will be seen
that with one or two exceptions all
were Norwegians and Danes, two be-
ing British and none Americans. in
this lucrative trade the assertion is
made that the foreign vessels pay any,
where from-25 to 40 per cent. There
are at the present time only four
American steamers, the Admiral Samo-
son, Admiral Schley. Admiral Dewey
and Admiral Farragut, all of which
were recently built here by Cramps,

the foreigners.
The keen competition of the Scandi-

driven all others out of the trade. and
whether or not it can ever be reclaimed
by Americans is problematical Fiji

steamers were engaged in the banana

ceptionally prosperous year Of 1899 was
about half million dollars for every day
OF the year, and these sums have gone into
the homes and enterprises of the people.
There has been an increase Of over $50, ,0O0.-
600 in the exports of agricultural products,
$92, ,692, ,220 in manufactures and in the prod
ucts Of the mines of over $1O, O,OOO, 600.
Big Gains in Trade.
Our trade balances cannot fail to give sat
isfaction to the people of the country. In
1898 we sold abroad $615, 49,, ,676 Of products
more than we bought abroad, in 1890 $685.
S74, ,S13 and in 1900 $544, A., ,7O1, making dur
ing the three years a total balance in our
favor of $1,689, 779, 19O-nearly FIVE times the
balance of trade in our favor for the whole
period of 10S years from 1890 to June 80,
1897 inclusive.
Four hundred and thirty-six million dol
lars Of gold have been added to the gold
stock Of the United States since July 1, 1896.
The law of March Il, 1900, authorized the
refunding into per cent bonds of that part
of the public debt represented by the 3 per
cents due in 1908, the 4 per cents due in 1907
and the per cents due in 1904, aggregating
100000 More than one-third of the
sum Of these bonds was refunded in the first
three months after the passage of the act,
and on Sept. / the sum had been increased
more than $33 OOO, ,OOO making in all $780,
$3.50, resulting in net saving of over S.
379, $50.
Government Saving Money.
The ordinary receipts of the government
for the fiscal year 1900 were $79, ,527, ,O6O in
excess of its expenditures.
While our receipts both from customs and
internal revenue have been greatly increas-
ed, our expenditures have been decreasing.
Civil and miscellaneous expenses for the fis-

"A subject of immediate Importance to
our country is the completion of a great
waterway Of commerce between the Atlantic
and Pacific. The construction of Il mari
time canal is now mere than ever indispen-
sable to that intimate and ready communi-
cation between our eastern and western sea-
ports. demanded by the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands and the expansion Of our
influence and trade in the Pacific.
"Our national policy more imperatively
than ever calls for its completion and con-
troll by this government, and it is believed
that the next session of Congress, after re-
ceiving the full report Of the commission ap-
pointed under the act approved March 5,
1899, will make provisions for the sure ac-
complishment Of this great work.
Would Restrict Trusts.
Combinations Of capital which control the
market in commodities necessary to the gen
eral use of the people by suppressing nat
ural and ordinary competition, thus en-
hancing prices to the general consumer are
obnoxious to the common law and the public
welfare. They are dangerous conspracies
against the public good, and should be made
the subject of prohibitory or penal legisla-
tion.
Publicity will be a helpful influence to
check this evil. Uniformity of legislation in
the different States should be secured Dis
elimination between what is Injurious and
what is useful and necessary in business
operations is essential to the wise and effect
i've treatment OF this subject.
Honest cooperation Of capital Is necessary
to meet new business conditions and,extend
our rapidly increasing foreign trade, but
conspiracies and combinations Intended to
restrict business, create monopolies and con-
troll prices should be effectively restrained.
Best Friends of Labor.
The best service which can be rendered to
labor is to afford it an opportunity for
steady and remunerative employment and
give it every encouragement for advance
| ment. The policy that subserves this end Is
the true American policy. The past three
years have been more satisfactory to Ameri-
can workingmen than many preceding years.
Any change Of the present Industrial or
financial policy Of the government would be
disastrous to their highest interests.
With prosperity 1t home and an increas-
inx foreign market for American products
employment should continue to wait upon
| labor, and with the present gold standard
the workingman is secured against payment
for his labor In . deprecated currency. For
labor short day is better than short dol
lar. One will tighten the burdens, the other
lessons the rewards OF toll. The one will
promote conteItment and independence, the
other penury and want.

have called the attention OF Congress to
this subject In my several annual messages.
In that Of Dec. 6, 1897, said:
Most desirable from every standpoint Of
national interest and patriotism is the effort
to extend our foreign commerce. To this
end our merchant marine should be improved
and enlarged. We should do our full share
of the carrying trade Of the world. We do
not do 1t now. We should be the laggard no
longer.''
In my message Of Dec. 5, 1890, I said:
"Our national development will be one-s sided
and unsatisfactory so long as the remark
able growth of our inland Industries remains
unaccompanied by progress on the seas
There Is no lack of constitutional authority

try maritime strength commensurate with
its Industrial achievements and with its
rank among the nations Of the earth.
''The past year has recorded exceptional
activity in our shipyards, and the promises
of continual prosperity in shipbuildng are
abundant. Advanced legislation for the pro
lection of our seamen has been enacted. Our

than s95.0OO,O0O. There was required $s,-
100000 less to support the navy this year
than last, and the expenditures on account
of Indians were nearly two and three-quar-
ters million dollars less than in 1899.
The only two items of increase in the pub
lie expenses of 1900 over 1899 are for pen
sions and interest on the public debt. For
1859 we expended for pensions $139, 1874 ,929,
and for the fiscal year 1900 our payments on
this account amounted to $14O.S77. .316 The
net increase Of interest on the public debt
Of 1900 over 1899 required by the war loan
was $263. .4Oe 25.
Bonds Speedily Taken.
While Congress authorized the govern
ment to make war loan Of $400 900, GOO at
the beginning of the war with Spain, only
5000, 100000 Of bonds was issued, bearing 8
per cent interest, which were promptly and
periodically taken by our citizens
Unless something unforeseen occurs to re
duce our revenues or increase our expendi-
lures, the Congress at it's next session should
reduce taxation very materially.
Fifty years ago we were selling govern
ment bonds bearing as high as per cent in
terest Now we are redeeming them with a
bond at par bearing per cent interest. We
are selling our surplus products and lending
our surplus money to Europe.
Europe Is Our Debtor.
One result of our selling to other nations
so much more than we have bought from
them during the past three years is radical
improvement Of our financial relations. The
great amounts Of capital which have been
borrowed of Europe for our rapid, material
development have remained a constant drain
upon our resources for interest and diyi-
dends and made our money markets liable
to constant disturbances by calls for pay
ment or heavy sales Of our securities when
ever money stringency or panic occurred
abroad. We have now been paying these
debts and bringing home many Of our Sc.
curities and establishing countervailing
credits abroad by our loans and placing our
selves upon 4 sure foundation Of financial
independence.
In the unfortunate contest between Great
Britain and the Boer states Of South Africa
the United States has maintained an atti-
tude Of neutrality In accordance with It's
well-known traditional policy. 1t did not
hesitate, however, when requested by the
governments Of the South African republics,
to exercise its good Offices for cessation OF
hostilities.
Did What We Could.
It is to be observed that while the South
African republics made like request Of other
powers, the United States IS the only one
which complied. The British government
declined to accept the Intervention Of any
power.

6REsIDENT M'KrNLEY's letter
of acceptance is probably the most

il of acceptance is probably the most
important unofficial document is
sued in this country in a quarter of a
century. The President takes the coun'
try into his confidence and throws new
light upon the history Of the past two
years. Irrespective of its caustic arraign'
ment of the critics of the administration
and it's forceful clinching of the fact that
Bryanism means the immediate de-
struction of the gold standard and sub
stitution therefor Of free silver coinage
at the ratio of 16 to /, the letter is i'm
portant in the historic sense because 1t
gives the American people their first
knowledge Of the craftsmanship and con-
ditions connected with recent epoch-mak-
ing events.
The President, although by nature a
mild and conciliatory man, can be arous-
ed to point of dangerous combativeness,
and when the mood is on him he becomes
one of the most effective debaters we
have had in this country for many years.
In his letter he wastes no time in what
might be called preliminary sparring, but,
having definitely located the enemy S
vital spot, which is the free silver heresy,
he strikes at it with force and precision.
The financial question, he says, may not
be the paramount issue, but it is the i'm
mediate issue. ''It will admit of no de-
lay and will suffer no postponement." "
For has not the Democratic party declar-
ed for the Immediate coinage of silver
at ratio of 16 to i? And is there any
doubt that Mr.. Bryan, who insisted upon
the insertion of the silver plank in the
platform, against the advice of the best
men in the party, will use every means,
if he is elected, to carry his principles
into practice?
After paying the tribute Of his regret
that the Democratic party by its nominee
and it's reiteration Of the free silver plank
of 1896 has made it necessary for the
voters to reaffirm their decision of four
years ago in favor of the existing gold
standard, President Mckinley boldly
picks up the gage Of battle on the issue
of Imperialism. What that issue is he
states most happily in single paragraph
near the end of his letter. After he has
marshaled the facts which place the
whole controversy in the clearest possi-
BILE historical light before the reader, he
says:
y The American question is be-
tween duty and desertion-the
American verdict will be for duty
and against desertion, for the Re
public against both anarchy and
Imperialism.
AS campaign document the letter is
regarded as phenomenally strong. But
it is more than campaign document. 1t
is a contribution to history. The Presi-
dent deals candidly with the American
people. He is not afraid to tell them
what he has done or why he did it. He
deals in facts rather than in arguments
