1t linked him and his fortunes with the
only conservatism that rings true to any

tiers.

South China ports, Formosa, Australia,
the South Pacific islands, many Russian
ports and the principal ports on the
Pacific coast of both North and South
America.
Against all this Nippon activity"
asks Kinnosuke. what has the United
States done to cover the Pacific?
America is spending money and efforts
on the isthmian canal. 1t is great
world undertaking; monumental
achievement, the meaning and influence
of which is international. 1t is worthy
of all praise, butts America digging
the canal simply because she wishes to
do the world great act of gracious
kindness and give wine to her own i'm
agination? That is admirable, OF
course Would it become less admir-
able if she were to make it profitable
investment as we'll? But how can she
make it pay without first having a
great mercantile marine of her own to
use it? For America may just as we'll
bear in mind that the shipping trade for
the orient from the European ports
would not go out Of its established
routes through Suez just to contribute
to the prosperity of the American enter
prise. Even the large British trade
originating ON the west coast of South
America, the Valparaiso nitrate trade
for example, would be independent of
the canal.
'Is it possible" asks this japanese
critic in conclusion, that the Ameri-
can, already famous for his good ma
ture, is going to make world record
on the point of generosity? Is he going
TO turn over the commercial command
of the Pacific to us, not only without
the slightest struggle or even deigning
to give a serious thought to it, but also
taking all kinds of pains in making
the mercantile marine Of his own coun-
try a powerless victim for our enter
prises through hostile legislation"
Japan has seen the wisdom of grant
ing subsidies to her merchant marine.
By the subsidy bill of 1896 she gives
1875 to 80 cents per ton for every 1000
miles sailed in foreign commerce by
ships owned exclusively by the people
of Nippon. The law also encourages
shipbuiiding in the native dockyards;
and, above all, none of the laws of that
country on this subject take care to
render the merchant marine of Japan
powerless to cope against foreign enter
prises in the same field-which is the
intent of the legislation enacted by the
congress of the United States.
1t is all right for Americans to boast
of the marvellous natural resources of
their country, its inland transportation
facilities and its shipping; but what do
all these amount to IL so young nation
as Japan is to command the commerce
of the greatest of oceans? If there ever
was need for congress to extend help
ing hand to American shipping, the
hour of that need certainly has arrived

duress, they should be restrained by law
1 am earnestly opposed to the gov
eminent ownership of the Interstate rail-
ways that are the arteria. system of this
country. Those railways should continue
to be managed by private corporations.
Government ownership of railways means
state socialism, an increase in the power
of the central government that would be
dangerous
But no one could defend a railway
system in which the unlawful discrimina-
tions by secret reba.es and otherwise
were practically without limit in the in
terest of the trusts and against the or
binary shipper. these abuses can only
be reached and ended by closely reguat-
ing the railways ana putting them under
the tribunal which can insist upon pub
iicity of business. and in cases of COM
plant can direct the exact remedy for
the wrong.
The question which you have ultl-
mately to meet is not whether we shall
return to a condition oil unregulated rail-
ways and unregulated trusts. but whether
we shall. maintain a strict system of reg
ulation of railways ana trusts, or shall
turn the country over to the advocates
OF government ownership and state So
cialism. Any one who seeks a retrograde
step from the pol ~ of the administration

Step toward conservatism Is blind TO eY-
cry political sign of the times
Nothing was ever stated more clearly
concerning any public mans views re-
garding the rights of property. What the
journalist spokesman of Wal, street
mean-what they would say If they dared
lis that Secretary Taft was bold enough
to express a view of the rights of prop
erty. diametrically opposed to the Wall
street idea.
And the public outside of Manhattan
island know the Wall street view to its
cost The American people have paid
dearly to learn that Wall streets theory
is that right is vested TO use the millions
OF the insurance companies for swinding
hotations, to let Hartman shake Eu-
ropes confidence in the nations honesty
by dividend juggling, to scott at the laws
and foster criminal rebating to betray
trust an use funds of honest depositors

they are not Wall streets views.
Yet this is not what angered his as

The British railroad employees, who are

its efforts on single practical issue-the
naturalization of the railways. 1t claims
that under government ownership fares
and freight rates can be reduced 20 per
cent and wages raised by an equal figure.
The Laborite program is set forth in a
circular that is being scattered broadcast
over the country and printed in the Labor
and Liberal organs of London and the
provinces. This circular aims to show
that the English railways are being run
not for the convenience or service of the
public, but for the exaggerated profits to
be reaped by corporations 1t is evident
that the Labor party has a very strong
case in demanding that parliament shall
interfere between the public and the capt.
talists. The million workers who speak
through the lea1et to which we refer cal
culate the private profits of railroading
in the following terms:
Since 1870 over e1,242 ,0o0, 900 has been
paid in dividends. The total capital of
the companies is ELISE. 100000. and of that
e19i, 100000, or 16 per cent. has never been
spent on the railways, but has been added
by stock exchange gambling. During the
early days of railways T. landlords re-
ceived $780, 900 600 in excess of the fair
price of their sland. This was added to
capital upon Which dividends have now
to be paid. Over one-fourth of the capt.
tai of the railways, costing the country
over .e11,000,0O0 per year, represents law
yers' bills. landlords exactlons and wa
tered stock"
The idea of the naturalization of rail-
ways by an act of parliament was a pet
scheme of Mr.. Gladstone, the most fear
lessly advanced statesman of his day.
How his scheme would have turned out
is thus outlined by the Labor party:
Had parliament carried out Mr. Glad
stones act of 1874, which empowered the
government to purchase railways made
after that year at price equal to twenty
five years purchase. the country would
have saved at least between twenty and
thirty millions every year which is now a
tax on industry and trade, and burden
on every part of the community.
'If the state were to take over The rail-
ways and pay a uniform rate of 2% per
cent, 1t would at once have-owing to the
saving by centralized management and of
interest-a surplus of about e24,000,0 900 per
year. This could be used to reduce fares
20 Ler cent, railway rates 20 per cent, and
