sells for the former as we now do for
the latter.
If the interest of the Hawaiian
planter justifies the abandonment of
our coastwise laws in respect to his
trade with the rest of the United
States, as the interest of the Filipino
seems to have justified its abandon.
ment in his trade with the rest of tho
country, why should not the interest
of the shipper, or of the consignee,
in any of the several states equally
justify its abandonment in the trade
between the several states? If the
modification which you are quoted
as advocating is made for the Hawai-.
ian, what will prevent its extension
to the Porto Rican? And after that,
what will justify its refusal to the
Alaskan? And after that, what will
Justify its refusal to the rest of the
United States? Surely the interest of
the Hawaiian planter is not superior
to that of any other American citizen.
You should recall that our coastwise
laws have been uninterruptedly in force
for ninety-one years, that our vessels
engaged in that trade have been that
long prohbitively protected against
foreign competition, that they are sue
cessful vessels, built in the United
States, owned and Differed by our own
citizens. If our own shipyards are to
be deprived of the building and our
own citizens are to lose the owning and
officering of these vessels, manifestly
great and far-reaching blow will have
been struck at an industry one great
arm of which--our vessels engaged In
foreign trade-has already been ruined
by Free Trade competition with for.
eign vessels Free Trade, in short, will
then completely dominate the ship
building and shipowning business OF
the United States. Once embarked up
on the policy you seem already commit
ted to, you should realize where its
logic will carry you, and whether you
are disposed to go with it that far.
Finally, if Free Trade In our do.
nestle carrying is justifable, as it
seems to be in our trade with the
Philippine Islands and with the rest
of the world, since the effort to ex-
tend protection to it where it is now
destroyed by Free Trade competition
seems to have been abandoned, why
is not Free Trade equally justified in
respect to all other industries in the
United States that are subject to for
eign competitiona

SHIPBUILDERS OPPOSE A
MODIFIED SHIPPING LAW

The New York Press of September
3 contains the following:
To the Editor of The Press.
Sir: The continued application of
the principle of Free Trade to our
shipping engaged in foreign trade, the
final refusal to extend the protection
of our coastwise laws-although thrice
tried and thrice abandoned before the
laws excessively enacted were ever
put into force in our trade with the
Philippine islands-and the logical step
in the direction of Free Trade in car
rying now made by Secretary Garfield,
discussed in inclosed copy of letter to
Mr. Garfield, may induce The Press to
give some portion of that letter space
in its columns. If Free Trade is good
for our shipping, or for any part of it,
why is not Free Trade good for ali
of our industriesf / ask this as
strong Protectionist.
A. r.. SMITH.
Hon. James r. Garfield, Secretary of
the Interior, Washington, d. G.
My Dear Sir: You are represented
in today's newspapers as favoring a
modification" of our navigation laws
Sin the interest of the Hawaiian
planter" such modification, take it,
being the suspension of our coastwise
laws in our trade between the Hawai-.
ian Islands and the rest of the Unit.
ed States, so that foreign ships may
engage in that trade as freely as they
now engage in our trade with the
Philippine Islands and with the rest of
the world. And write to respectful.
ly ask if you are correctly quoted, and
if have interpreted what it is you
advocate in this respect.
Permit me to say, as defining my
own position in this matter, that L
regard our coastwise laws as the sole
protection of American shipping. Sue
cessively, as the United States has ac.
quired new territory, save alone with
respect to the Philippine Islands, our
coastwise laws have been extended to
our trade with such new possessions.
Practically speaking, shipbuiIding in
the United States Except as to war
vessels) is today limited to that in
tended for our domestic trade. And
if foreign vessels were permitted to
as freely engage in our coastwise trade
as they are now in our foreign trade
probably we would build as few YES

shows total income $50 016 expenses of s. 29S 20
and profits of S2,014 756. After deductions for
amounts charged off and for the special deprecia-
ton fund the surplus available for dividends stands
at $3.50 1876 which is equivalent TO II per cent on
the S4oo0000 capital stock this amount comparing
with S. .s51 $50 1907. The report says: During
the last nine months of the fiscal year. in common
zith other firms and corporations engaged in the
manufacture and sale of railway appliances, this
company experienced the most severe business de-
preston in its history. Fortunately, orders carried
over from the previous fiscal year together with
those booked between August l and November L.
1907 were sufficient bring the aggregate sales up
to total of S5.30S,0I6 The annual inventory
showed a net loss approximating $4,000. due to the
sudden decline in the market value of almost all
kinds of material in stock. This amount has there
fore been charged against the fund previously pro-
vided for inventory adjustment On the other
hand its abundant cash resources have enabled the
company to take advantage of the low prices now
prevailing by heavy purchases made in anticipation
of early renewal of activity. which accounts for
the increase in factory stores.

Schools Out Of Politics.

z. T. Fairchild, state superintendent
Of public instruction, has started a
movement to- have county superinten-
dents OF schools either elected for q
long term OF years or appointed by
a board for a term as long as he may
give satisfactory service. The propo-
sition is to let a superintendent OF
schools alone as long as he is getting
results and to take the Office out OF
policies as much as possible. Mr..
Fairchild has been investigating the
question In other states and has found
that in states where the county super
intendents have had long service the
best schools exist. He believes this Is
one OF the things needed to improve
the Kansas schools.
