STEEL THE BAROMETER.

Stocks break under the force OF
bear raids, but steel and iron are be-
ing contracted for in large transac-
tions, far ahead. Wall Street s
nerves are unsteady but the market
for steel is firm and active.
In this age steel and iron are the
true test of the business world, crops
excepted, and everybody knows that
the crops are all right. Rural
America is SQUAD and strong in de-
gree never before attained
While business in steel is being
done on vast scale, we'll into the
future, little attention need be given
to the fiurries in the market which
show that Wall street is weary OF
waiting for something to happen
which will start stocks strongly in
one direction or the other. On tbs
foundation of the crops and the giant
metal industry of the country there
is room for a volume of trade never
yet seen in the United States.
Steel is king in the cities an;
grain, hay, cotton, potatoes ant
other great staples of agriculture II
the country. Both together make
sure barometer telling the business
weather months ahead.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

Go to any ocean port in the United |
States, watch the shipping in the
harbor, go around to the boat docks |
and look over the giant liners and
you will notice that over half of
them are foreign owned, foreign
manned and fly foreign flags.
The United States of America, the
greatest commercial nation in the
history of the world, excepting only
England, sees its splendid harbors
glutted with merchantmen of other
nations; its citizens pay an annual
toll of millions to the International
Mercantile Marine, the foreign own
ed world shipping trust.
And now the people of the United
States are about to complete the
Panama canal, the greatest engi-
neering feat ever attempted, at a
cost of between $300,0OO,00o and
$400, 100000 paid out of the pockets
of the people Of this country; when
the United States is at last in a po-
sition to do something to encourage
the building up of a merchant ma
rine of its own: in comes Great
Britain and declares that the act of
congress granting free tolls to our
coastwise shipping is violation of
some ancient covenant between the
two countries
Some time back it appears that by
stroke of superior diplomacy Eng
land got the best of the Roosevelt
administration and persuaded this
country to agree that it would per-
NIT foreign ships to pass through
OUR canal on exactly the same basis
as American shipping
This treaty ought to be abrogated
on the grounds that the ENJOYS OF
the United States did not represent
the people, did not conserve their
rights. and were really the represe-
sentatives of the shipping trust.
At the time the Panama canal il
was expected that opposition would
develop from two sources, the ship.
ping trust and we have yet to learr
what he did to silence the railroads
But this business of having Eng
land dictate to the United States it,
policy regarding the fixing of cana
tolls and the subsidizing of it's coast
wise shipping is getting under tn,
skin of patriotic Americans
There are many reason for legiti
mately abrogating contract. On
of them is the failure to name a con
sideration. What concession doe
the United States get from Englan,
and the shipping trust in return 70
giving it equal privileges with tn
country which dug down in 1t
