1T HAS NO POLICY.
The Democracy Has No Plan to
Build Up Shipping.
Opposes Republican Policy of En-
lnrRing Our Foreign Conc
merce but Offers Nothing
Better.

The platform utterance of the dem
ocratic party regarding American
shipping is a clear index of the inher-
ent inability of that party to con-
struct. 1t seems only to be aole to
oppose and denounce the constructive
policies of its progressive political op-
ponents.
The foreign commerce of the United
States is regarded the world over as
the most important of all. To this
country come the finest foreign ships.
The greatest and most powerful
steamship lines vie with each other
for our trade. The largest, the swift
est. the safest and most luxurious
ships that are built are for the carry
ing of the trade in merchandise. pas
sengers. specie and mails from and to
the United States.
But per cent. of our foreign trade
is carried in American ships. Foreign
ships carry 90 per cent. This carry
ing is worth fully $200,000,000 each
year. All but per cent. of it goes out
of the pockets of American producers
and consumers for paying foreigners
for doing our foreign carrying Not
only does it go out of our people s
pockets, but it goes out of the coun-

AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.
Exports of American Made Goods and
Imports of Foreign
Materials.

Forty million dollars worth of
manufactures were exported from
the United States, and $25. 100000
worth of manufacturers materials
were imported into the United States
last May. This is a higher record for
both than was ever made in any pre-
ceding month. This assures a total
expectation of manufactures in the
fiscal year 1900 of fully $425, 100000,
and an importation of manufac
turers' material of $500, 100000.
On only four occasions has the i'm
portation of manufacturers materials
reached the 5000 o00, 600 line, while in
the year just ended it will be about
$500, 900, ,000-an increase of so per cent.
over the average of the past five
years. Exports of manufactures in
1899 were S33S ,00,000, and will be fully
$42j, 100000 in 19O0-an increase of
nearly or quite S90.000,000; while no
earlier year ever showed an increase
of as much as $5O,000,O00.
The total importation of manufac-
lures for the year will aggregate
about 1925 900 600 and the total ex-
ports of manufactures will aggregate
about $425,00 900.

M'KINLEY'S AMERICANISM.
Eng sh men DO Not Enthuse Over the
PrOmire of His Re-
election.

London, June % Copyright, 1000.
be any doubt in the United States
respecting English opinion of McKin-
ley and republican politics, it may
be dispelled by the reticence of the
London and provincial press respect
ing the work of the Philadelphia con-
vention. There are few comments on
it, and such as there are have per-
functory sound. These are not eulo-
gies of Mckinley, and the republican
party is not embarrassed by English
patronage or fattery. The party
platform is described as moderate and
the nominations as good as the cir
cumstances permitted. The nearest
approach to compliment is the Spec
tators remark that Mckinley is pos
sibly too much of a politician, but
that he has won and receives inter
national respect.
The English press is preoccupied
with affairs in South Africa and China,
and has no space in reserve for a
trivial incident in Anglo-SaXon his
tory, such as the election of pres
ident by nation of S0,000,000. More
over. there are no illusions here re-
specting either President Mckinley or
the republican party. Both are
known to be downright American and
not in any sense English. President
Mckinley is not suspected of having
ever made an apology for introducing
the tariff bill which bore his name,
and the party which renominated
him, so far from repudiating protec-
tionsm, has reaffirmed it and added
TO it subsidies for American ship
ping
Nobody in England ever speaks of
Mckinley as anything but an uncom-
promising champion of American
ideas and politics. Hence his renom-
ination is received here without en-
thusiasm and with quiet reserve. as
possibly not the best choice, but one
which divides the republican party
least.

try. 1t goes abroad and is tlere used
to pay for the building andrunning
of foreign ships. 1t gives theemploy-
ment to foreigners that the :arrying
of our foreign commerce crates.
People ask, why is this? he an
swer is simple. Foreign sips are
built more cheaply than merican
ships. This, however. is a isadvan-
tage that could in time be vercome
if the shipbuilding industry 'ere put
on a basis of permanency. lfl steady
and large demand were crtted for
cur ships very soon the cos'of their
construction would be reducd to the
level of foreign prices. 1t the un-
steadiness. the irregularity and the
uncertainty of employment n Amer
lean shipyards that keeps te cost of
American ships from 20to 9.per cent.
higher than the cost o fteign-built
ships. Better food and mOle of it is
given on American thin ol foreign
ships. This also create a iisadvan-
tape which the Americn ship cannot
easily overcome. TheI again wages
on shipboard are muc higher under
the American than ader foreign
flags. In the cases o officers the
wages on American sl1s are on the
average twice as Lighs they are on
foreign ships.
Worse than all thisiowever, for
| eign governments payieir merchant
ships great subsidies nd bOunties.
| Great Britain spends out $6,G00,G00
a year in this way; Tnce spends
