Fifty years of national folly in the
enactment of navigation laws and high
protective tariffs have crippled Amer
ican shipping, until over 80 per cent of
our Atlantic commerce is carried in
foreign bottoms. Notwithstanding this
half century of maritime shame, the
United States flag floats today over a
merchant marine of about 100000
registered steam tonnage, which car
ries to the markets of the world nearly
200, 0,000000 tons of American products.
But on what waters float the colors of
this merchant marine, and what freight
do these American ships carry? One
half of this vessel tonnage is on the
great lakes, while the Pacific coast
the great lakes and the Mississippi
combined boast nearly 20 per cent OF
the total And the freight which i,
