SHAW OFFERS NEW PLAN.
Raw Goods Could Be Imported With
out Duty and Manufactured for Elk

port.
Concord, N. H, Jan 31.-Secretary
Shaw spoke before the New Hampshire
board Of trade here last evening on the
subject, "a Foreign Market for Amerl-
can Labor" During the course OF MS
address Secretary Shaw developed an
idea of bonded factories on large
scale He said in part:
Merchandise can now be produced
from imported material In bonded fac
tories. 1t seems to be safe and wise
to carry the logic of this provision one
step further and have bonded or free
ports.
without attempting lengthy elabo-
ration of the idea, / content myself
with throwing out the suggestions.
Suppose instead Of bonded factory
we bond we'll defined section of
land containing, il you please, several
thousand acres. Within this bonded
territory all kinds of factories could be
built and into this zone all kinds of raw
material could be entered without the
payment of duty. This port should, of
course, contain no dwellings. l would
ment Of manufacture, except labor, to
be entered free.
In other words, this free port should
be a great consumer of American la
Dor, the produce of which under the
most encouraging conditions, should be
for the export, and for the export only.
If it was removed from the port for
the purpose of domestic consumption
it should pay the same duty as If i'm
ported from abroad.
do not see wherein the American
people could be harmed by such poll
icy, and 1t would result in furnishing
employment to those who chose to live
beneath our flag, consume our prod
ucts and work at the American scale
Of wages.
All New England would be benefited
by such a port somewhere on the north
Atlantic coast. A similar port should
be established in the vicinity of Nor
folk and another on the gulf. 1t will
take time to develop the thought, but
it is in absolute harmony with the
present bonded warehouse, bonded fac
tory and drawback policy, and we have
the example in the free ports Of Ger
many.
In addition to this we must have a
merchant marine. The method by
which this hand maid to the American
exporter shall be secured do not care
to discuss. The ultimate fact however
Is of prime Importance. If we ever get
our share of import trade of South AM
erica, South Africa and the adjacent
islands. and our share of the impor.
trade of the orient, we must have ships
making regular trips from our princi-
pal ports, flying our flag and begging
our manufacturers to produce the ar
ticles desired by the countries to which
they sail.
