 VIII Nncourage Ship Yards. The bill will encourage our ship yards, which are alomst as necessary to the national defense as battleships. The proposed bill Is of importance to our navy because 1t gives consider able fleet of auxiliary steamships, such as Is now almost wholly lacking, and also provides for an effective naval reserve.
 The bill provides for fourteen steamships. subsidized to the extent of over million and a half, from the Atlantic coast all to run to South American ports. It provides on the Pacific coast for twenty-two steamers subsidized to the extent of two mill Hans and a quarter, some of those to run to South America, most of them to Manila, Australia and Asia. Be 1t remembered that while the ships will be owned on the coasts the cargoes will largely be supplied by the interior and that the bill will benefit the Mis- sissippi Valley as much as it benefits the seaboard
 T have laid stress on the profit to be expected from our trade with South America The lines to the orient are also of vital importance, <The commer- cial possibilities of the Pacific are un- liimted. and for our national reasons, 1t is imperative that we should have direct and adequate communication by American lines with Hawaii and the Philippines.
 .sThe existence of our present steam ship lines on the Pacific Is seriously threatened by the foreign subsidized lines. Our communications with the markets of Asia and with our own possessions in the Philippines, no less than our communication with Australia should depend not on foreign, but on our own steamships. The Southwest and the Northwest should alike be served by these lines and if this IS done they will also give to the Mississ!pri Valley throughout it's entire length ene advantage of all trans-continental rail- wavs r,,nning to the Pacific coast.
 .'To fail to establish adequate lines on the Pacific is equivalent to pro claiming to the world that we nave neither the ability nor the disposition to contend for our rightful share or the commerce of the orient; nor yet to protect our interests in the Philip hines? It would surely be discredlta- hIe for us to surrender to our com- mercial rivals the great commerce ot the orient, the great commerce we should have with South America anu over even our own communicat'ohs with Hawaii and the Philippines.

by the railroads of feeding in transit
rate for Iowa such as that enjoyed by
the Nebraska cattle feeders.
AS to hogs i, is said that the Iowa
rate is row lower than that in Illinois.
The new rate as to other live stock
will give Illinois a differential of not
