HILL WARNS UNITED STATES
TO SAVE ORIENTAL TRADE
Ship Subsidy and Rate Legislation
Necessary to Keep Pace with
Competitors, He Says.

NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-A warning
IN the United States TO exert every
effort to regain the trade that has
been lost In the Orient, Is contained
in an article written by James j. It'll.
which appears in the January number
! of the Worlds Work. He says this
country Is laboring under the illusion
that its Oriental trade is to be one OF
the big elements In it's future prosper
ity and that II is a powerful competit-
| or of other nations in the worlds mar
kets for manufactured goods. he con-
tinues.
"The best route. the trafic machin-
erv to operate il, the market with Its
demand expanding in both directions
these were the conditions that open
ed TO this country Is years ago such
a commercial possibility as has rarely
presented itself TO any nation In his
tory.
"The first steps had to be taken
and the whole burden assumed by
the railroads. Having TO meet the
competition of the world. We must sell
more chcapiy and deliver more salts
factorily than the rest of the world.
For this, such rates must be named
as were unknown In transportation ex-
perience up 10 that time. This was
done.
after this development was well
under way, the future depended al
most entirely upon the attitude OF the
government and the people.
The making of low rates TO secure
foreign business was stopped. The
railroad aud the steamship could no
longer act as partners.
1.-THE American ship-owner Is dis
couraged because he cannot earn
reasonable profit. The American mer-
chant marine alone among the COM
mcrcial nations OF the earth Is unsub-
sidized. yet completes with foreign
vessels sovernment-paid under one
disguise or another. So far. for some
reason. II has been found impossible
TO give proper federal announcement
TO cargo carriers-which the people
approve and would like to sec done
without opening the treasury wide to
the demands OF concerns operating
swift passenger steamers and contrib
uting little or nothing to the growth
of foreign trade. This the people
properly refuse TO sanction.
"Since our carriers have been han
dicapped, much of the trade with the
orient has gone to the steamships OF
other countries, using the Suez route.
Our total exports from San Fran
cisco I'm 1890 were nearly s37 900.
and in 1903 only s2s.000.000, a falling
off OF about % per cent. Our total
imports through San Francisco were
Just half million dollars less. in q
total of over $4S 900. in 1908, than
they we're in 1890. After Is years
we are only marking time.
To-day the United States is In the
Orient where 1t is In all the other
markets of the CARTHAGE to face
with worldwide competition, with
an interest growing but slowly or ac-
tually declining, with high cost OF
production and with the prospect that
its customers are only waiting the
time. near at hand, when they can
become its competitors. The situation
is more momentous for this than for
any other country. because control OF
the Pacific touches our future and
unites our fortunes with those OF the
other nations that live upon its
shores"

to Dams request.

hurried and arrived justf before the
clerk, weakened man, was closing
for the night. From him they secured
a license and directions as to the way
to reach the minister's home. Arrived
at the latter's house, Avery knocked
at the door. II was opened by man.
a smooth-faced, rather pleasant ap-
pearing clerical young chap. He APP
pealed to Dan. but the latter was sur
prised at the remarkable change
made IN his prospective wife. She
went white as a sheet and grabbed his
arm convulsively.
Dan, Dan," she cried. that man Is
my former husband"
Dumbfounded Dan gazed at the min
lister. while the minister, equally at
a loss as to what to do next. gazed
back. While they were standing thus.
the sound OF a woman's voice came
to them.
Dan gasped as he saw the woman.
II was his former wife!
why, it's my former husband the
woman cried. And my former wife"
the minister added.
What would they do now, Dan won
dered And then, with relief. he saw
that like himself and Pearl, they were
possessed OF a saving sense OF humor.
Smiles, which merged into hearty
laughter. Illuminated the cquntenance

and said heartily. II see a marriage
