THE PHILIPPINE TRADE.

what They Paid For In 1896.
However weak and unimportant
American ships may be on the high
seas, they are strong and influential
on land. Their inability to transport
freight at reasonable rates is forgot
ten when we observe their ability to
control congress and to dictate lcSisla-
ton at Washington.
Just now the shipping people are put
ting two bills through congress, iniIa-
duced by their man Frye, the object Oh
which is to give them complete me-
nopoly after July l next of all trade

that these bills will 60 sailing through

from Manila; in 1903, $12,O0d,0,o
worth In 1895 we obtained most ei
our supply of hemp from other coun-
tries: in 1903 all but 81 eco worth
came from Manila Eoth countries
have benefited greatly by this increas-
ed commerce, due to lower duties.
This hemp is carried almost entirely
by tramp steamers, which make tri-
angular voya&e-tilst, from the United
States to Europe, thence from Europe
to tie Philippines, thence from the
Philippines 10 the e&st coast of the
United States. In this Way they OBJ
tain carcoe5 for each leg OF their tri-
angular voyage and carry freight at
minimum price, for there is always
competition among the tramp steam
ers and the lowest bidder gets the
freight.
Now. competition is obnoxious not
only to the ruling powers at NaShlnG-
ton, but also to the patriotic owners
Of American ships who have not as yet
received the long expected rewards for
their big contributions to the Repub-
lican campaign fund in 1896 and since.
Although there are not nearly enough
ships flying the American flag between
here and the Philippines to carry the
freight now offered, yet these ships
are asking for a monopoly Of this
trade Should they obtain it freight
rates from the Philippines will go up
greatly In the opinion Of eN-Secretary
of War Root and Of the present secre-
tary, Mr. Taft, rates will go up 100 or
200 per cent.
Under these circumstances much Of
the freight now brought directly from
Manila and coming in at the lower
rates of duty will probably be import
ed through other countries and will
pay full rates Of Guty. These bills.
therefore, will to a large extent nullify
the benefits Of the present low tariff
arrangement.
But no matter how great the monop-
oily or how great the injury done to our
business interests the shipping people
will probably get what they want. The
Republican party helps those who help
themselves if they have shown their
generosity when the contribution box
was on it's rounds.
