Mr.. Bryan's recent remarks about
imperialism" sound very much like the
criticisms that were hurled at the Jen-
erson administration when the Louis
lana purchase bill was before Congress.
AS a sample here is a quotation from
the New York Herald of March Fl,
1904: We revolted from Great Brit
ain because her Parliament taxed us
without our consent. expressed by rep
r~esentatives. Our colonies may adopt
our principles. Even the limited mon
archy proposed in the bill o under
discussion in the House of Representa-
tives will not probably be established.

session will terminate leaving Jeffer-
son in complete possession of all the
despotic powers which were lately ac-

money, it doesn't look as though the

belt. Four years 6 hogs sold for
$3.50 In Stanton, while good corn COM
manded but IA cents. Oats. rye and
barley show the same wide differ
ence in price. Butter is worth nearly
double what it was then. The same
is true of everything the farmer has
to sell. with the exception of wheat,

BRITAIN'S MAINSTAY.
THE MERCHANT MARINE FLEET
SAVES THE EMPIRE.
Her shipping Makes Good Her Enor-
nous Adverse balance of Trade -
shipbuiider Cramps Views Passage
of the Shipping Bill Is Urged.

Four generations of the Cramp fam
lily have in succession contributed to
their present pre-eminence in Amer
lean shipbuilding. Their Philadel-
phia shipyard now ranks in extent
and output with the best in Europe,
lis product being always regarded as
u%nexcelled in finish and efficiency.
Mr.. Charles II. Cramp is the present
head of the family and its shipbuild-
ing company. On this account, and
the weight of authority given to his
utterances on the subject of ship
building, as well as the probable early
passage of the shipping bill, what he
says is of timely value.
Great Britain's imports in 1897"
said Mr.. Cramp, when asked for a
brief statement, exceeded her ex-
ports by $3.50, 900 900, which is the
largest adverse balance Of trade in
British history. How does she make
1t good? Chiefly through her vast
shipping. Let me explain: At the
last meeting of the directorate of the
Peninsular and Oriental Steamship
Company-the largest in the world,
by the way-its president placed its
average earnings at $50 per gross ton,
and which. in view of the COMPETE
tion to which it is subjected, may be
regarded as the minimum per ton
earning of British steamships. In
formation from other authentic
sources indicates that the average
earning of the entire British steam
fleet, consisting of 1870 900 tons, will
mot fall chnrt 80 e7n -or 81, 1900
The British steam fleet, therefore, an
nualIy earns $500, 900 900 a year. Her
sea-going sailing feet, consisting of
2,735,976 tons. earns between $45 and
$50 per ton per year, or say in the
aggregate $3.50. 900 900. The annual
profits of banking. commissions and
insurance in connection with this ship
ping are about IA per cent of the traf-
fc earnings. This shows: Steam
fleet earn $500, 900 900, sailing
fleet earns $3.50, OOO, 900. and other
profits on shipping amount to SOS, 200,-
0OO-showing a total annual earning
from British shipping of s69S, 200, 900
a year, say in round numbers $780,
OOO.O 900.
The earnings of her shipping, 1t
will be seen, nearly wipes out Great
Britain's adverse trade balance" con-
tinued Mr.. Cramp. and her revenue
from foreign investments far more
than exceeds the difference.
of this colossal revenue" con-
cluded Mr.. Cramp. the United States
contributes a little more than two
ffths directly; or, in other words, the
producers and consumers of the
United States pay to British ship
owners not less than $3.50, 000, 900 a
year as the common carriers OF Amer
lean commerce to and from all parts
of the world"
Congress is therefore confronted
with the necessity of relieving the

free silver and prices went up all the
