1t is a singular fact that the United

cept England, while we have compare
lively little in the foreign trade. This
is due, Of course, to the enormous tranc

steamship connections between the ports
nnon our long coast lines. OF our total OF
Ass. 155 tons of vessels, 6,J01 go is en-
gagged in the domestic trade, leaving ST.

Representative Humphreys Bill.

One of these plans is suggested by Rep
resentative Humphrey of Washington,
and he has introduced bill for that
purpose. He proposes to admit foreign
built steamers of 500 tons or more to
an American registry for the foreign
trade alone, including the Philippine Is
lands This is to do away with the duty.
which amounts to about b per cent of
the cost of the ship, and would enable
American capitalists who wish to estab-
lish transportation lines with foreign
countries to obtain fleets of steamers at
cost OF about one-third less than If
they were built in American shipyards.
The difference of the cost in building
steamers on the two sides of the Atlantic
lies entirely in the wages of the work
men.
Mr.. Hmphrey's bill also proposes to
double the tonnage tax imposed by our
government upon all steamers. to raise
money to pay the subsidy Nine-tenths
of the tonnage tax is paid by foreign
ships. SO that this would compel our
rivals to furnish the means to assist the
merchant marine, but the tax is ulti-
mately charged against the consumer.
During the last fiscal year the sum of
S1052.314 was collected from this source
of revenue. American ships paid only
$50, 397, while the British ships paid S595.
1856. which is nearly siX-tenths of the
