Japan Has Retaiated
Japan has only recently enacted a
coastwise law, and is now shutting
out foreign vessels from her coastwisc
trade. We can not complain at her
action for it has been the policy Of
our own government ever since its
foundation to retain the coastwise
trade for American ships. Japan is
branching out, and is now working ont

Japan and America-A Comparison.
The suspension of the American
coastwise law, would probably result
i'm the discontinuance of the Ameri-
can ships, and would give the Hawaii
ans about fifteen additional sailings
per annum over the Japanese line
The American ships are somewhat
smaller than the new Japanese liners,
but they all have white crews and paw
the largest salaries that are paid any
where in the world to officers and
men of the merchant marine
THE Japan lines, on the other hand
are run at a minimum of cost, and
could easily drive out the American
ships if the coastwise trade law were
! to be abrogated The Pacific Mail
Company claim that they are running
their steamers at a loss, even with the
Chinese crews. OF course, the Mail
Company pay the prevailing rates of
salaries to the officers. But the Jap.
anese line receives an annual sub,
sidy of over 100000 from the Japan
csc government, whereas the Amerl.
can vessels do not receive a single

Favors a Subsidy.

81 am in favor of a subsidy for the
American vessels. I have always TAX
en- very active part in the matter
of rehabilitating the American mer-
chant service, and have constantly IA
vored the doubling of the mail pay
that is now given under the Act OF
March 3, 1891; in other words instead
of 50 a mile for carrying mail, l am
in favor of giving 81 per mile so as
to enable the Americans to build ships
for carrying the mails.
That we are exceedingly weak 50
far as our merchant marine is con-
cerned, is evidenced by the fact that
when the battleship fleet sailed
around the world, it was impossible
to get American merchant ships to
act as golfers, and we beheld the
anomaly of a fleet of war vessels fly
ing Old Glory at the masthead, accom-.
panied by a nondescript fleet flying
the flags of a number of foreign ma.
tions, carrying coal and provisions for
our warships.

IN THE HOUSE.
Murdoch, Kan, Attacks the Demo-
cratic Wool Tariff Bill.

Washington, June SAN attack on
the Democratic wool tariff bill on the
ground that it affords protection to the
so called Worsted Trust was made IN
the House today by Rev Victor Mur-
dock of Kansas.
Murdoch attacked the 40 per cent.
duty on worsted cloths which the bill
contains, declaring that it meant i'm
mediate protection to the combination
that controls the worsted output.
Il cannot see how any man here
said Murdoch, knowing the worsted
trust, knowing its gross and cruel
brutality in the fabric field, can back
it up while it continues to twist It's
long, strangling fingers around the
throat of the American consumer l
cannot see for the life of me how any
one in the American Congress can ala
the Worsted Trust by putting tarin
OF worsted. either as frankly avoWed
measure of protection or under the
pretense of tariff for revenue.
Murdoch said that the Worsted
Trust has so lowered the quality OF
goods that the consumer buys that
which clothing manufacturers have
been ashamed to pass to the wearers.
AT the same time he said the cost OF
worsted goods had been increased.

Restitution, Plea
For Redeemable.

Boston. June S-The first intimaton of
the line of defence which will be Of
fered in the trial of the officers of the
Redeemable Investment Co., came out
late today when in cross-examination
one of the government witnesses, w. T..
Kingston, public accountant. admit
ted that certain sums which had been
taken from the Redemption fund were
paid back into the general treasury of
the company and used for legitimate pur-
poses
OF the $4,000 which according to testi-
mony yesterday. Manager Charles II.
Brooks secured by redeeming stock is
sued to him gratuitously, Mr.. Kingston
said that $500 had been Immediately
placed to the credit of ]. T. Traphagen.
treasurer of the company. and $500 had
been applied to the sinking fund. The
witness testified also that of the 5000
secured by Brooks at a later date in
similar way. half went into the general
working fund and half to pay the ex-
penses of Brooks and stockholders to
the mines in Mexico. The sum of 5000
secured by Traphagan from the redemp-
ton fund was likewise Immediately
placed in the general working fund,
Kingston said.
District Attorney French. for the
government. objected to this line OF
testimony, declaring that 1t had been
shown that the sums were taken from
the redemption fund illegally and that
1t was immaterial what disposition was
made of the money afterward. Coun-
sci for the defence maintained they
had a right to show such disposition
since the money had gone back into
the treasury of the company, the tran
saction being a business one in which
money had been transferred from one
department to another.
A new fact was brought in state
ment of the witness that on June 3
the sum of $4,000 received from the
sale of Santo Domingo Mining Co.
stock had been turned into the re-
demption fund. 1t was also admitted,
however that the money had been i'm
mediately taken out again.
