URGES SHIP SUBSIDY.
President Says Federal Ala q

President Says Federal Ala Of
Steamers IL Needed.
at would surely be discreditable for
us to surrender to our commercial rivals
the great commerce of the Orient, the
great commerce we should have with
South America, and even our own COM
munication with Hawaii and the Philip
pines," declared President Roosevelt in
special message sent to Congress urg-
ing the passage of a ship subsidy bill. In
his message the President says:
'The urgent need of our country max
ing an effort to do something like its
share of its own carrying trade on the
ocean has been called to our attention in
striking fashion by the experiences of Sec
rotary Root on his recent South American
tour. The great continent to the south
of us, which should be knit to us by the
closest commercial ties, is hardly in d.
rect commercial communication with us
at all, its commercial relations being al
most exclusively with Europe. In the
year ending June 80, 1905, there entered
the port of Rio de Janeiro over 5000
steamers and sailing vessels from Eu-
rope, but from the United States no
steamers and only seven sailing vessels,
two of which were in distress"
One prime reason for this condition,
the President says. is that business on the
sea is done not in world of natural COM
petition but of subsidized competition.
State aid to steamship lines, he says, is as
much part of the commercial system of
the country as State employment of con-
suls to promote business, and adds
Our commercial competitors in Europe
pay in the aggregate some twenty-five
Great Britain paying nearly seven mill
ions. Japan pays between three and
four millions. BY the proposed legisla-
ton the United States viii pay relatively
less than any one of our competitors
pays.
"Three years ago the Mississippi
congress formally set forth as automatic
the statement that every ship is a mis-
sionary of trade, that steamship lines
work for their own countries Just as rail-
road lines work for their terminal joints,
and that it is as absurd for the United
States to depend upon foreign ships to.
uiStIlDutc It's piVuuSt do IL Nouiu oc iOI
a department store to depend upon wag-
ons of a competing house to deliver its
goods.
Moreover, it must be remembered that
American ships do not have to contend
merely against the subsidization of their
foreign competitors. The higher wages
and the greater cost of maintenance o.
American officers and crews make it al
most impossible for our people who do
business on the ocean to compete on
equal terms with foreign ships"
The President says the proposed law is
not experimental, but is based on the
experiences of other countries, and in
conclusion expresses a hope for the en-
actment of some law like the bill at pres
ent pending in Congress.

LEADS WORLD IN FINANCE.

France Succeeds England as u Re-
suit of south African War.
A writer in the Review of Reviews
says that France is now playing the
role Of the worlds banker England
lost her claim TO the title when she
went to war In South Africa. A gen
GRAFTON ago one had to go to London
to feel the pulse of the international
money market To-day one makes a
better diagnosis in Paris.
The strides toward financial suprem-
acy which France is making must have
been most rapid in the last five years.
In that time French investors have
taken up many milliard francs of for
eign obligations. They furnished Great
Britain with much of the capital that
went to finance the Boer war: they
loaned enormous amounts to Russia,
practically supplying the money needed
in the struggle against Japan; they
provided Germany with 1,0O0,000,0tai
marks in 190i-5 TO carry on her ire
mendous Industrial enterprises; they
anese loan, more than half of the Rus
sian loan of last April, and finally they
supplied borrowers in the United States
with fully $150,0OO.OO0 during the tight
money period Of last winter, and are
now financing the bond and note issues
Of some of our greatest corporations.
There is a great reservoir OF free
capital in France which Is being tapped
by the other thirsty nations and which.
in spite of the drain on it, keeps well
filled and shows no sign Of exhaustion.
The Bank of France, the largest hoard
er Of gold next to the United States
treasury. has in its vaults to-day nearly
$500, 100000 of the precious metal two
years ago it had $450.000,0O0, and in
1900, when Paris began slowly to forge
ahead Of London as the center of larg-
est money supply, the institution held
only 375,0O0OOO.
How has France, nation Industrial
~ inferior to Germany, and with a
commerce much below that of Great
Britain, gained such a power in world
finance? The answer is, through her
domestic economy. For frugality, thrift,
intense application to the work in hand
and the commendable ambition to carve
from llfes labors enough to make
bright the inevitable rainy day and to
cheer old age, the Frenchman has no
peer. To save is an inherited desire.

is nearly $4,000, 100000. This wealth is
evenly distributed. The number of es-

CHAPTER xxIv.


Owing to the quiet life Kitty had led
ace she came to Melbourne, and the
fact that her appearance on the stage
had taken place in the country, she felt
euite safe whel making her appearance
in Melbourne society that no one would
recognize her. 1t was unlikely she would
meet with any of the Pulchop family
again. and she knew Mr.. Wopples would
hold his tongue regarding her, SO the only
one who could reveal anything about her
would be vandeloup, and he would GER
.tainly be silent for his own sake, as she
knew he valued the friendship of Madame
Midas too much TO lose it. Nevertheless,
ehe awaited his coming in considerable
trepidation, as she was still in love with
him. and was nervous as to what recep-
ton she would meet with.
Vandeloup. on the other hand. was
unite unaware of the surprise in store for
him. When he next called on Madame
Midas he was shown into the drawing
room by the servant. There were no
lights in the room, as it was not sufh-
ciently dark for them, and Vandeloup
smiled as he saw a FIRE in the CRATE.
