This shows not only that the commerce of the great lakes is greater than the com bined coastwise commerce of the Att lantic and gulf coasts, but that the average size of the vessels engaged in the lake commerce is at least twice as large as the average size of the vessels engaged in, coastwise com merce on the Atlantic and gulf coasts
 Such figures serve to give one a bet ter idea of the importance of the great lakes and what they mean to the people of the central, western and northwestern states.

the west and the markets of the east.
 As an instance of this MT. Mann cites
 the fact that it cost 12 cents bush
 el to transport grain from Chicago to
 New York by rail and but five cents
 bushel to send it by water. What the
 rail rate would be if the railroads had
 not the marine competition to con-
 tend against it is scarcely possible to
 estimate. -..
 To-day we are able to compete with
 the factories of England and all Flu
 rope in iron and steel products. This
 is true to such an extent that the na-
 tions of Europe are considering va-
 rious methods of prevention, fearing that failure to restrict A.neric trade in their markets will result in indus trial disaster at home. One of the things that make such competition possible is the cheap transportation offered the crude ore to the place of
 manufacture. Ships sailing the great lakes carry this ore now, but if they
 did not, and it had to be carried by rail, the increased cost of t>anspor- tation, whether for theNcrude ore or the manufactured product, would in- crease the selling price. to such an extent as to make American competi-
 ton in European markets practically impossible. It is probably a compar- atively small difference, but it is difference that gives employment to
 many thousands of American me- chanics.
 The same thing gives to the vest ern farmer a better price for his wheat and other grain that is sold

Many agree that it is superior to "A South ern Romance'' which is one of the most exquisite romantic plays of life in the south at a very critical period in the history of the Union. It IS full of stirring as well as most pathet- ic scenes and vein of vengeance. a woman's vengeance runs through the play that attracts the attention from the beginning but only in the final scenes does it show itself to have been 1ngeniously interwoven in the lives of half Q dozen of the principal roles.

point of tonnage, Chicago as ma

 Mr. Mann, which gives every desirable
 figure:
 The total entrances of vessels en-
 gagged in the foreign trade at Boston

 were 1,7sO, and the total clearances were 1,707, making a total of 3,4s7 vessels, with tonnage of 4,OO2,545. s'The entrances at New York for the same period in the foreign trade were 4,25O and the clearances 4,O54, or total of S,3O4, with a tonnage of 15,- | 2O3,756.

 variably pays the freight, either di-
 rectly or indirectly. and the great lakes offer to the western farmer 8 cheaper way of reaching his market than do the railroads.
 To go back again to the speech of MT. Mann, we find some more inter-
 esting figures that give a good idea
 of the importance of the great lakes to the commerce of the country. He says: N The number of domestic steam | vessels inspected for the year ended June 30 last was as follows: "For the Pacific coast, e13 vessels,

 The nation, and especially the na- fional lawmakers, have seemingly gotten into the habit of looking to our ocean ports for their figures of shipping. They know that ships come and go on the great lakes, but that these vessels represent the greatest marine shipping interests of the nation has evidently been beyond their belief.
 Yet such is the case. New York is the only port in America that sur passes Chicago in point of entrance and clearage tonnage of marine ship ping, and while New York shows the greatest tonnage by reason of it be- ing the terminal of the great ocean liners, in the number of vessels en- tered and cleared the Chicago total is Almost double that of New York the figures being 17,553. with a ton mage of II. .1sG,19O for Chicago, and s,3O4, with tonnage of 15,2o3,756 for New York.
