ticulty in finding a ship to carry
it, The difficulty is that our
merchants and manufacturers,
in their efforts TO build up trade
with the Latin American conn
tries, come into competition
with European rivals who are
generally served by regular
lines of steamers receiving aid, /
either in the form of subsidies
or Of liberal payment for carry
ing the mails, from the coun-
tries whose flags they fly Yes 1

regular schedules. The South |
American merchant ordering
goods in Liverpool COT Hamburg
/ by mail knows when his order

steamer it will be shipped, and
just when he may expect it TO
arrive. If he sent his order 20
| the United States, unless it was
| from one of the comparatively
few points have regular sail
}ings. he could have no idea
when it would be received by
the American shipper or when
the goods would be shipped
P Therefore, while il is true that,
, after trade has once been de-
) veloped, there would probably
be no difficulty in obtaining all
f the ships needed to carry it,
the difficulty of building up
p such "a trade is greatly increas.

TAX WEALTH-NOT POVERTY

The Republican majority in con

tremity when Senator Aldricb pas.

TO an income tax or tax on
corporation earnings. What shall
we do" he asked in hls speech
On the tariff bill yesterday
IF the revenues actually received
are less than those have anticipated
and large deficiencies are threatened +?
answer with emphasis that IL would
then be the imperative duty OF con
gress To reduce expenditures and
make them CONFORM TO actual revenue
conditions. and not To impose new and
onerous taxes
But why not have both economy and
an income tax, as Senator Bailey sug
gested? is extravagant government

is sustained by poverty? Or would the
the fact that sufficient revenue could
be produced by an unjust tax sweep
away all argument for Just taxation?
The chairman OF the finance com

new. and when did a tax on wealth
become more onerous than tax on
