sHI9BUILDERs AND sHIPowNERs

In 1861 the country had 2.496, ,000 tons of shipping registered for ocean commerce; it has now only S73, 900 tons which is less by more than ore hundred thousand tons than we had even in 1910. During the last forty odd years it has been the policy of our legislators at Washington to listen to the demands of the shipbuildng in terests, and for their protection. to forbid American registry to any for eign-built vessel. The figures above given show results of this policy. In spite of the entire monopoly of the home market and of the admission free of duty of foreign materials en- tering into the construction of ves- sels intended for the foreign trade. our shiDbuilders are still unable to compete with those of other countries
 In many branches of industry ou- manufacturers, although only enjoy ing only a modrate degree of protec- tion can sell their products in the re mote parts of the world in competition with foreign manufacturers.
 If is reserved for the shipbuilding industry to confess that it is lief; hopelessly in the rear and to ask for bounties to enable it to enter a market where its products must come in com petition with those of foreigners This state of affairs does not speak well for

the enterprise or the business capacity of our shipbuilders. Our bridge build CTS can place their constructions in
 the heart of Africa and in Asia OUT engine builders can ship locomotives to all parts of the world but our ship
 builders can only go to Washington and beg for contributions from the treasury through the aid of their poli- tical friends.
 In all this discussion regarding the building up of our foreign merchant marine it will be we'll to remember that
 the interests of the owners of ou- shipyards are opposed to the interests of our merchants. Yet whenever there is meeting on it or a hearing before congress it is the former that are most in evidence and the latter of whom, least is heard. If the encouragement of the woolen or the leather manufac- turing business were up for considera- ion it would hardly seem the proper thing to consult particularly the sheep and cattle raisers of the country. The interests of the latter would be regard ed as another matter.
 The experiment of giving the monop- oly of building American ships for employment in the foregn trade to our people has proved itself a failure and it is time that a new policy was adopt ed. A monopoly having failed to pro duce the promised results. trial might be made of competition, for it could not well bring about a worse state of af- fairs. Our shipbuilders admit that th. conditions of the industry does permit their competing with foreign shipbuild - CTS and are thus limited to supplying vessels for the coasting trade, and we have in consequence, practically no ships engaged in foreign business. If our merchants who by the necessities of the case must compete with foreign built ships were allowed to supply their wants in the cheapest market they would probably before long be able 70 get a fair share of the carrying trade of the world, and the shipbuilders would be no worse off than they are now. In the meantime they would have some incentive to keep pace with the enterprise shown in other indus tries in this country. instead of de- pending on political influence to keep money in their professionalism Journal.

CHEAP MONEY IN PANAMA.
One Dollar There Worth Just One Cent
 of Our Currency.

The stranger is much astonished tC find Panama a land of much money The common people of the outlying l regions, and it is almost all outlying region down there, come into the city to market with money in both fists bills of big denominations sticking out of their pockets, and money in baskets and bags-money carried to town in bundles as if it were watercress CT spinach. This wonder ceases some what when the stranger gets his hotel bill Tt is no wonder" he says to himself, that they carry money in baskets. They need it by the basket full to pay their bills" Here is the verbatim bill of my first eight days stay in Cartagena, cne of the coast cities and a port of call for steamers from the north:
 Board and room eight days at $200 per day ...................$ 1,60C Carriage hire, three hours. at $35 per hour .................... lOJ Laundry, eighteen pieces ...... 70 Soda Water, one bottle ...... Repairing shoes ................. 2U If you go out into the markets and shops of the town ycu will find that prices rule equally high there. Po- tatoeS are worth eight dollars, rice five and poor stuff at that, flour six dollars and onions four dollars. All this not by the barrel or bushel or bag, but by the single pound. Six dollars pound fer flour is calculated to cause the housewife dismay and put the breadwinner down on his luck. We pay pretty high prices for beef at home nOwadaVs hut if is still higher there. You pay eighteen dollars a pound for beef in the city, six or seven dollars a pound for it in the country, and this does not mean prime cuts, but just as it comes. The only thing rela- lively cheap is the mango; ycu get four of them for a dollar.
 Now all this is very dismaying. but struck still further cause for sur prise at the bank, whither I went quite early in the trip. I wanted small bills in the money of the country for $1O gold piece, and when I passed it to the cashier he began to count money as fast as he could, stacking it up on the counter before him. I waited pa tiently, knowing that this is manana region and that one has to wait. Probably when he was ready he would wait on me. After a time he pushed bushel or more of bills under the wicket saying in Spanish. Here's your change. sir
 There was a thousand dollars in the pile, and the secret was out. The Col ombian dollar is worth just one red cent in Uncle Sam's coin!-A. c. Kings bury in National Magazine for Janu- ary.

The Influence of Bryan.

The New York Sun thus measures m q most interesting manner the possible effect of MT. Bryan's failure to adhere to the democratic party in case the St. Louis platform should not suit him. By the speech which he delivered at Lincoln, Neb., MT. William J. Bryan served notice on the democratic party that, if it's wants his personal assist ance in the approaching campaign, it must reaffirin the Kansas City platform | | nevery particular. Every plank of that platform is sound; he says, includ- l ing the anti-imperialist demand for the surrender Of the Philippines and the demand for tn efree coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 70 l, That is MT. Rryan's ultimatum.
 Suppose. however. that the demo- cratic party, assembled in national convention at St. Louis, shall decline to accept Mir. Bryan's as the dictator of its policy. Suppose that ii makes up it's mind to turn its back upon dead issues and 10 frame a platform likely to commend it to all sober minded per sons who believe that the country would benefit by a change of admins tration. To what penalty would the democratic party subject itself by re- fusal to obey MT. Bryan's command?
 MT. Bryan. of course, mignt re- pudiate the platform framed at St. ftc nee. He might read himself out of the party even more eftectually and ire parably by himself accepting a nomt- nation for the presidency from the al- most invisible rnmp of the populist organization. That would be the very best thing that could happen to the democratic party. MT. Bryan and his friends would then be forced to stand up and be counted. Possibly, they might muster as many votes (50.3T3 as were cast in 1900 for MT. Wharton Barker by the middle of -the-road, or anti fusion, populists. It is not cer- tain that MT. Bryan could attain even this measure of success, for the once efficient populist machinery is a more hopeless wreck today than it was four years ago. In very few states has it even the semblance of existence.
 But let us assume for the sake of argument. that MT. Bryan might man age to make as impressive a demon stration as was made in 1892 by MT. James B. Weaver, who secured 1,041.- OPS votes at the ballot box, and 22 electoral votes. Whether such di- version would operate to the detriment or to the signal advantage of the demo- cratic party would depend upon it's platform, but mainly upon its candi- date. If it's nominee represented the best tradition of his party and com
 manded the confidence of all thought flu and patriotic citizens. the democ- tracy might hope for a second over whelming victory over all it's opponents combined.
 Tn 1892 Grover Cleveland obtained a plurality of more than 330,0O0 popular votes over Benjamin Harrison and
 James B. Weaver put together and a majority of 110 in the electoral col laUo"

7 WO Are One

In marriage only when there is equality of health as we'll as affection. Affection may be the basis of unity in marriage. but the superstructure depends largely on the womanly health. When the wife IS tormented with backache, distressed by headache, and racked by nervous ness, she has no ambition for exercise or pleasure.
 Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It cures headache. back ache, and other womanly ills by curing the diseases of the wornanly oroauistfi which cause them. It establishes regu- larity, dries weakening drains, heals in- tiammation and alteration and cures female weakness.
