Democrats Who Will Support the
Measure to Build Up Amer

CIR OWING SENTIMENT IN THE SOUTH
Improvement of Rivers and Harbors

ships Viewed with Approval by
Producers and Business Men.
Especial Correspondence
yer

Washington, Jan 3
When the opponents Of the shipping bill
came TO be finally counted during the clos
ing days of the debate on the army bill in
the senate, the fact was uncovered that a
few influential republicans were among
them. These men had certain notions that
the bill. was nequitable in Us provisions, and
they had been in the habit Of meeting anu
comparing notes and assuring each other
that their suspicious were well grounded
Finally, however, these objections were
brought to light, and, when that was accom-
pished, and the friends OF the BIZ were
gwen chance to discuss these objections,
their apparent force melted away ike snow
under summer sun. The result has been
that a few amendments have been agreed TO
in the bill that cover every possible point
Of doubt on the republican SIDE and they
are now all united in the senate in favor
Of the bii. as it stands.
When vote IS reached on the shipping
bin there VIII be a Gisagreeable revocation
10 the democrats Of few OF their own
members who VIII support it. Not less than
hat dozen democrats have, one way and
another, indicated that they may be relied
upon TO supper, and to vote for the bill, and
they explain, too, that this is largely, in
obedience to urgent requests from their con-
sti,ucnts. Nowhere in this country is this
more in evidence than in the south, where,
hitherto, opposition has been so general TO
al forms OF government aid, at least on the
part OF the statesmen representing southern
constituencies, as to have caused a feeling
OF despair at times among their more pro
gressye and up-to-date colleagues from the
north and west
The Improvement Of rivers and harbors in
the south, followed by the construction of
much larger Sims for the carriage OF south
ern export products, and the consequent re-
duction in freight rates and increase in di-
rect returns to the producers, have been OBJ
Ject Lessons of immense value TO the south
ern business men, and the fact is slowly
dswning upon those whom they send TO
congress TO represent them. No longer is
there opposition in the south to the i'm.
provement OF rivers and harbors; indeed,
there is more money likely to 60 into the
improvement Of the great seaports Of the
south, and especially Of the gulf, and its
tributary streams, than into the north. The
direct benefits from this have been felt in
every hamlet, village and city in the south,

and the people Of that section are been-
ming to appreciate the wisdom of Senator
Morgan's valiant fight for that great water.
way. The spending of $50. 900 900, or even
300 900 900, for the construction of the Nj
carsgua canal, it is beginning to be believed
throughout the south, will have benefit
each year, upon the increased markets
abroad for their surplus products that will
repay them, and the nation, too. each year
for the total sum Of the expenditure.
And, with these thoughts crowding one
ssother upon the southern mind, it is quite
easy and logical for southerners to appreci-
ate the value OF ships OF our own, doing our
own foreign carrying, and keeping the whole
of the $l75 900, 900 at home that is now spent
every year for ocean freights that are paid TO
foreign ship owners, and by them taken from
the country, to the .oss of our national
wealth 10 the deprivation Of our own PEG.
pie Of employment, and to the strengthen
ing OF the auxiliary naval resources Of our
foreign rivals. In these circumstances the
expenditure Of 80 ,O0O, 1000 year to save
from Sl75, 900 900 to $3.50, 600 900 year is not
a proposition ether to brighten the average
American citizen or call forth his protest.
In fact, the demand for just this kind of a
thing is becoming quite unanimous among
the business men Of the country, south,
west, north and east.

Whatever comment the old skipper
was about TO make was interrupted by
the man aloft, who again gave that long
drawn out, Undesirable cry, so dear to

His orders were promptly obeyed.
and as Tom reached the deck and came
aft the captain added:
Wei soon be ashore, Mr.. Scott. II
my reckoning's right, that is the en-
trance TO Frisco harbor and we ought
to be tied up alongside the dock to-
night. You've never been there, have
you?"
Tom replied in the negative and the
captain continued:

you're fixed, but | always live aboard

keep a good cook by her. If you like
you can stay with me and it won't cost

Without the slightest suspicion OF
what was passing in the mates mind
Tom watched him busting about the
deck and congratulated himself that in
a short time he would see the last Of
the red-faced sailor who had brought
the only faint of disgrace into his life
