FREE SHIPS.
By OSBORNE HowEs.

There is a widespread desire throughout the country lot the up
building Of our merchant marine. We know that forty years ago we
had a great merchant fleet, because at that time cheap raw materials
permitted us to build vessels at a lower cost than they could be ouHt
for in any other country in the world. The pay OF cur shp"rgnus
was at that time much higher than the pay of English and Dutch
shipcarpenters; but their efficiency was so much greater, and the
price Of wood-the raw materal-was so much lower, that we found
no difficulty in competing with foreign contractors.
There is not the least doubt that similar results would follow in
the line Of iron and steel construction, provided our ShipouilderS
could regularly obtain this raw material at the lower price which their
hearneSs to the source of supply would justify them in expecting.
This, however. is a concession which the steel masters, who have CON-
bined together in their control Of the American market are not
prepared to make If there were no tariff on steel plates, there would
be no material difference in the price Of these articles, whether IN an
American or an English or Scotch s~hip-yard. All the advantage that
the American manufacturer OF steel plates wou'd hen have p'era
foreign competitor in the United States market would be found in the
cost Of transporting English plates across the Atlantic. IND II such
circumstances the American ship-bunding interest would spring up
and flourish. AS it is, the steel trust aided by the protective tariff,
holds up the American price, and thus makes shipbuilding in those
instances wherel the cost OF material is a controlling factor an exceed
ingly expensive operation in an American s%hip-yard, and prevents that
revival Of our merchant marine which all Americans so much desire.
The proposed subsidy is TO be paid only to those vessels engaged
in carrying cargoes either to or from the United States. But the
business Of general transportation all over the world is far greater
than this restricted trade; and, If cur merchant marine, formed Of
low-cost foreign built ships, could be built up through employment in
this general trade, it would tend to throw the entire subsidy system
into dsrepute, and tend also TO force the steel trust-in order that our
shipbuilders could compete with foreign ship-bulders-to sell their
steel plates at prices in some way corresponding to those obtained in
the. worlds market.
AS a corrective, it will be necessary to insist on repeating the
navigation laws, SO that those American merchants who wish to
engage in business, not for politics or plumber, but for legitimate
profit, may be granted the opportunity, as the German, Norwegian,
and English ship merchants now are, to buy their ships in the
cheapest market, wherever that may be, and, having these placed
under the American flag, be further permitted to employ them
wherever they can find advantageous business.

Why Not, MIR. Knox?

why NOT, MT. hnoAg
Republicans can but weakly defend
U. S Attorney General Knox for his
absolute failure to reply to the ques-
tion asked by a joint committee Of
the Antitrust League and the
Knights of Labor regarding action to
be taken against the unlawful trusts,
says the Republic.
The point at issue is not that OF
whether the attorney general Of the
United States should prosecute the
trusts or leave prosecution to the
various states Of the union. The
Joint committee whose letter has re-
manned unanswered by the attorney
general since September last asked
Mr.. Knox "what his conclusions were
IN regard to the petition requesting
action by the department of justice
against certain unlawful trusts"
Nor is the republican contention
justified which takes the position that
the attorney general should not be
required TO place himself on record 10
the matter. Mr.. Knox himself did not
dare to take this position. He wrote
TO the joint committee Of the Anti
Trust League and the Knights Of
Labor: ~ will examine these papers
with care at as early a date as possible
and communicate to you my con-
clusion." Though the attorney gen.
erals letter was written September
II. 1901, he has not yet ncommu-
nicated his conclusion" on the vital
point at issue.
The joint committee of the Anti.
Trust League and the knights Of
Labor have cause to complain OF
United States Attorney General
knox's neglect Of his plain duty. The
matter concerning which they asked
for information is one Of paramount
Importance to this country. The
attorney general knew that it was his
duty to answer the question asked by
the joint committee. He testified to
this knowledge Of duty in his letter OF
September II. 1901. And thereafter
he paid no further attention to tie
performance of bis duty, for which
reason the joint committee is again
calling the attorney generals atten-
ton to the matter. Why did Mr..
Knox remain silent? Why is he SC
10th to announce fhis conclusion
with regard to the petition requesting
action by the department of justice
against certain unlawful trusts, q
which petition was filed with him by
the joint committee Of the Anti
Trust League and the Knights of
Labor on September 6, 1901?

The United States marshal of the
eastern district Of Missouri. Mr.. Bohle.
who is of course a republican, has had
charges preferred against him in
effect that he has been riding on rail-
road passes, free, and at the same
time has been charging the expense
up to the government. Now, will
the Kansas City Star and Journal go
into conniption fits about corporation
taiuences in the republican party?
Not much! They don't incline that
way.

Gov. Dockery has been at Kansas
City this week looking over the
political situation and carefully
drawing deductions as to the appoint
ments he will soon be called upon to
make in that town of turbulent
politics. In the face of the fact that
it will be impossible to please both
+ ctions the only thing for the gov
ernor to do is to select good men,
appoint them, and let the professional
bosses and strikers howl. 1t is their
nature to howl, anyway, and no man
living could make these appointments
and please all these fellows. Missouri
has confidence in Gov. Dockery and
the purity in the state is behind him.
That the best men he can find in
Kansas City, who are available for the
Offices to be filled, will be named by
the governor we have not the shadow
of a doubt. Neither do we doubt that
after they are named they will be
.eternally damned and abused by
political tricksters who cannot use
them.

The warm, hearty receptions that
are being extended to Admiral Schley
by the American people while he is
visiting throughout the country tell
the story Of singing rebuke to that
coterie Of naval conspirators who,

masses can always be depended upon
to do the right thing when truth and
justice are in the balance

Every dollar voted by the nation s
congress to pay the expense of a
special embassy from this country to
the coronation Of Edward VII Of
England is a direct slap at the Amer
ibanism of the dead Washington and
those patriots who followed him in
the war Of the revolution. The
growing spirit Of imperialism in this
country is to be viewed with alarm by
those people who love America and
cherish its free institutions.

If st Louis cannot see its way clear
to hold the great worlds fair in 1908
and realizes that postponement is
necessary until 1904 why don't st.
Louis come out and say 50 and hat
leave it to Washington correspondents
to prepare the public for the change?
While there is certainly no disgrace
attached to postponement the respon-
sibibility should be borne by st.
Louis The people cannot be iuggled
into the belief that congress is going
to dictate to st. Louis in this matter
unless st. Louis assures congress that
it is more than a willing victim.
Come cut and tell the truth, viz
That the fair will not be held until
1904.
