A recent announcement in regard {
shipbunding in the United States dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901
has occasioned considerable newspape

named and bring the total tonnage Of
vessels constructed during the last year
up TO 4Ss,sle toas, This total tonnage
has only been twice exceeded, namely.
in the years 1854 ami 1855, The remark
mos, commonly made in commenting
upon these figures is that hey demon
stra,e the usefulness Of the proposs ID
steamship subsidies.
Without entering upon the merits Of
the subsidy proposition It nay be re-
marked. in simple justice to its advo-
Gates that the figures prove nothing
agains; the proposition whatever. OF
the entire number OF vessels constructed
only twenty-four were steel vessels for
salt water traffic. Fifteen Of these We're
built on the seaboard and they tsve a
total gross tonnage OF 1857 tons. Nine
with a tonnage OF lS,SSS tons were built
on the Great Lakes. The "coasting
trade" is limited by law to ships Of
American register. OF this trade Ameri-
cans have a monopoly and the ,oas,ing
trade is steadily growing in volume But
OF the foreign carrying trade We have
hardly any share at all, and ,ha; share
IS actually growing smaller.
Last year our foreign trade, including
all imports AMI exports Of both domes-
tic and foreign merchandise. amom ted,
according 70 the treasury department
figures. to $3.50 42s.573 in value. a gain
Of about sss,OOO.OOO over The ,o.ll ct
the previous year. OF our to;al foreign
trade Sl5sS52,1sO worth was transported
in cars and other land vehicles. The
balance Of $3.50 4ss,4l3 worth Of mer-
chandise was carried in ocean vessels
and the portion or share Of this traffic
which was carried in ships Of Am lrican
register, amounted n value to I752Se,-
Oo6 or So per cent Of the total. Dur
irg the previous year American ships
carried 9.3 per cent of the America for
siFn trade which was hanil2d N the
seas.
These figures show ;ha; the decline Of
the American mercani marine s;lll con-
tinues, notwithstanding the activity in
shlp-buil1.ng, and We hold our own on
the seas only who're We have an abso-
lutte monopoly. namely, in the American

The SOUTH IN THE SENATE

Here are some observations from the
Boston Herald relative to the South in
the Senate
eSince the Democrats have lost sll
the United States Senators they have
had from the Northern States east of
the Mississippi aud north of Mason and
Dixon's line by their suicidal connec
ton with Organism, it behooves them
to attend to the Southern section of
their rarity II that body If they expect
to continue their influence in the Gov
eminent They have some able Sen
ators-from the South IN Congress, but
not as many as they should have, con-
sidering that their Senators are so
much confined to that region of coun-
try at present, aud are likely to be still
more go in the future. The Republi-
cans are encroaching upon even she
silver States themselves. They are
preparing 10 capture the next Utah
Senator TO be chosen, and they do not
despair OF Colorado. From the South
the more important Senators, in point
of ability, are Morgan, of Alabama;
Vest, of Missouri; Daniel, of Virginia,
and Bacon, of Georgia Morgan is
cratic and unsafe as leader Vest is
in feeble health, which must compel
him soon to retire from public life.
Daniel IL brilliant, rather than sound.
Their ablest man, practically speaking
is Bacon. he has the qualities of lead
ershIp, but he needs more support than
he is getting from the South at present
If he is to take the control of that Sec
ton against the astute German, who
seems 20 be impending as Senator
from Maryland +"
THIS is the opinion of an independ-
ent New England newspaper which
never knowingly or Intentionally mani
tests any spirit of unfarness toward
the South or the Democratic party. 1t
will be seen that The Herald puts
Georgia's senior senator as just lead
er. THIS is not surprising, as Senator
Bacon's recognized ability will rank
him anywhere as a superior orator
and man of marked distinction.
