OPPOSED BY SULZER
NEW YORKER AGAINST SHIP
 PING COMMISSION.
He Favors the Aiding of the Ameri- can Merchant Marine by the Means of Discriminating
 Duties.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,
 Washington, April Ii.
 Representative Suiser, of New York. who fayors the aiding of the American
 merchant marine by means of discrdmi- mating duties ts opposed to the plan for shipping commission. In discussing
 this subject today Mir. Sulzer said:
 "The Republicans intend to do nothing toward aiding the merchant marine un- til after the Presidential election, except to appoint a commission to report at the next session of Congress proposed legis- lation for the development of the mer- chant marine on ship subsidy lines. This line of procrastination will meet with considerable opposition from the Demo- crats in Congress, who are opposed to delay and who, furthermore, object to Congress abrogating it's functions in fa- vor of any commission whatever, because
 they know the history of such commis- sions almost invariably shows that their work has been both useless and expen- siye The present low ebb of the ship ping industry has been brought about by want of adequate laws for its encourage ment, in default of which American ship
 ping and consequently American ship
 building has been practically destroyed.
 Since 1860 merchant ships flying the
 Stars and Stripes have greatly decreased until at present they have almost dis
 appeared from the high seas. This very manifest want we consider that today more than ninety-hve per cent of our ex- ports and imports are carried in foreign bottoms. This. I say, is to our shame. This crying evil must be remedied.
 Our country is foremost among the nations of the earth in nearly all lines of commercial development and pursuits except in it's ocean merchant marine; and
 I am pleased to note that the patriotic pride-iiot to mention business sagacity- of the American people is at last assert ing itself and Is demanding legislation at the hands of Congress that will enable our merchant marine to regain its for mer supremacy and glory"
 Mir. Sulzer condemned ship subsidies and said that a free ship bill was an in- possibility in any Congress having a Re- publican majority. He therefore fell back on discriminating duties in favor of American ships, of which he said:
 "In my opinion 1t is the most feasible. the most practicable, the most honest and the most popular way of aiding the merchant marine This policy of discrim- mating duties was inausIirated by Jef- ferson. followed by Madison and endorsed by Monroe. It successfully built up our shipping industry in the early days of the Republic. It received the endorse ment of the Republican National Con- vention of 1896 and William Mckinley fa- vored it in his letter of acceptance. Lead ing thinkers, and writers upon the sub ject throughout the land irrespective of party affiliations are in favor of it as it is absolutely non-partisan. strictly

 Upon the child Is placed the stamp of his moral life by the home in which he Is born and reared. The child and home are two of the most important figures of human existence. Together they are the cornerstone of humanity. It Is im- portant that they be brought together, for whatever the home gives the child, the child will pay back to it.
