AMERICANS RUSH
TO SPEND MONEY
Even Promote Experiments
in Aerial Navigation.
WHY NO MERCHANT MARINE?
House Committee Favors Gardner Bill
to Create Commission TO
Look Into Subject.

The report of the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries on the
Gardner bill creating Z commission TO
investigate and report. upon the Ameri-
can merchant marinc has been filed in
the House.
The report refers 10 the large expendf-
lures OF the Government for army and
navy, pensions, rivers and harbors, for
carrying mail and other purposes, and
chen says:
There is no legitimate expenditure
possible within the wide scope Of ma
tlonal jurisdiction that the American
people do not rush lavishly iIGo. even
10 the extent OF promoting experiments
In aerial navigation We Subsidlze the
railroads occasionally with eXtraOrdi-
nary rates OF mail pay, ostensiDiy for
the purpose Of securing a little extra
speed, and really we apparently look
spend more money for new projects
Exports and Imports,
The report then goes on to describe
tie condition OF the American merchant
marine. and declares that of the nearly
one billion dollars wcrth of exports To
Europe in 1902. $50 PEI cent was carried
in the ships Of other countries Ameri-
ca imported from Europe Si7i 81 159
over $30,Ooc.0O0 was carried in American
bottoms.
and, says the report, had il not
been Tor the presence and existence OF
the American Line, sustained by "a pos
tai subsidy. tae total Of our trade with
Europe carried under the American flag
would not have exceeded one-sixth OF
! per cent
The Foreigner Benefits.
The report states that we are improy-
ing our haTbors, but that the benefit
accrues to the foreign shipowner. as
does the S20O.o00O90 freightage paid for
carrying our trade.
we are growing in production il
continues, "and diminishing in carry
ing power. We are growing in the de-
mand and necessities Tor markets. and
we are shrinking in our ability to seek
markets"
Reanzing the wide yariance of opin-
ion as 20 what ought TO be done TO bring
about an imp 0Vement an the condition
Of the American merchant marine, the
committee recommends the passage of
the bill 10 create a commission 10 IN
Quire into the subject and report 70

session
Views of the minority opposing the
bin were filed by Mr. Lucking (Dem-,

What To Do.
DR.. Miles s Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.

"For seven years l have been troubled
with what the doctors called fast heart,
going at once from the usual beat to twice as
fast which in a short time would exhaust me
terribly and only after treatment by physl-
clan it would get back to normal speed.
These attacks increased in frequency and
severity until December, 1901, when they
came on once a week. Each attack would
lay me up day or more. The attack begin
ming January 18th, 1902, lasted 100 hours
(almost week. my heart beat almost one
hundred and fifty per minute and some
times more. During this week my physician
consulted with four other doctors, but all to no
purpose. My heart finally slowed up, and 1t
was then serious question with my family
what to do next; as for me, was too far gone
to care much what happened. DIR. Miles al
manac said, write for advice" and my son
wrote, receiving nice reply. A neighbor told
us he.had used your remedies with great ben.
eft. Itook courage, began the use of Dr.. Miles

until had taken eleven bottles of the Heart
Cure and seven bottles of the Restorative
Nervine. / had two slight attacks after
began the use OF your medicine the last one
lasting only thirty minutes. For more than
three months my heart has run without
