PROTECTION P;
ON THE SEA.
is PLEA OF SENATOR ELkTNs
WHO SPEAKS In BEHALF OF 70
MERCHANT MARINE.

| WASHINGTON, July T.-Declarins
that while great on land the United
States ia impotent at sen. Sennior FL
kins OF West Virginia yesterday give
notice that at the next session of con-
Eress he would exert himself to the ut
most to improve this situation.
He was speaking nEthe Senate TO
one of the shipping amendments to
the tariff bill and incidentally quoted
his own amendment permitting a re-
duction OF five per cent. on the tariT
on nll merchandise imported in yes-
sells of the United States. He did no.
formally present this provision be-
Cause. as he said. he appreciated the
ilnpossibility of having 1t added TO lti1t
tariff bill, but he gave notice that
after the meeting of congress next
December he would Introduce an inde-
pendent bill along the same line,
which he would press to passage IL
possible.
III mis- remarks Mr.. Elkins asserted
that the people. of the United States
were paying 100000 n day to foreign
shipping for hauling our own goods
He called attention to the fact that
whereas fifty years ago We were
transporting % per cent. OF our own
merchandise. American vessels are
now carrying only seven per cent.
THIS was transposition which the
practical Mr.. Elkins said he did not
like and would try TO remedy.
Foreigners MonopoIize Trade.
Mr. Elkins said:
ave have the finest coastwise ship
ping in the world. We do not permit
foreign vessels to participate in 1t.
Way" he asked. SHOULD we allow
them not only TO participate. but prac-
ticalIy to 1nonopolize our foreign
trade?"
-"We have always had protection on
1anl. why not nave protection on the
sea??" shld Mr.. Elllins. discriminating
duties are one form of protection AMI
tails form was adopted just as soon
as the gorernment.went: into opern-
tion along with The policy OF protect
ing and encouraging American indus
tries on land. 5.

to foreign ships 10 carry our conl-
mcrce. One can go around the. world
without seeing the American flag on Il
merchant vessel. The American flag
is rarely seen in any of. the ports OF
the world. Foreign ships In New York
and other American harbhrs float 4
forest OF foreign flags and here and
tne:a only an American flag flies mt
The head OF an American ship.
"We complain of the Internal rev.
enue. State and customs tax, but are
paying out s2oo.o0O.oOo to foreign
ship owners as an annual taxation.
This at the end of ten years amounts
to s2,OOO.000.O0O and no one complains
OF our lanGuishtng Industries on the
sea. We have given our shipping to
foreigners and in doing SO we have
impaired our trade and commerce." II

desired by the Smithsonian institute" said
Mr.. Newman, lin addition to the lions,
which the NATIVES regard as a menace and
a pest.
Il am not a good shot, but 1 shoot often"
is a quotation Mr.. Newman brings from
the former president.
THE natives and colonists of Africa in
Colonel Roosevelt's path expressed great
establishment at the distinguished hunters
energy" said Mr.. Newman. Members of
his party in July were nearly tired out
and wished to shorten the trip. They had
been marched to exhaustion, Bwana
Jumbo the name applied by natives to
Colonel Roosevelt, means big white chief

exalted office once held by the hunter, and
his prowess as a nimrod.'
