PANAMA CANAL SHOULD
 BENEFIT OUR SHIPPING

The opening of the Panama canal is expected to give a great impetus to American shipping, and help to restore 1t to the proud place which it occupied prior to the Civil war In 1860 the American mercantile marine eoualed that of Great Britain, which was it's only rival. The high protection advo- cated after the Civil war as a means of directing attention to internal develop ment of the United States as opposed to, or in preference to the encourage ment of foreign commerce, effectually killed the American mercantile marine engaged in foreign trade.
 The present position of the three chief maritime powers in order of ton, mage for 1911 is as follows: Tons. treat 1o, ,344, 487 United States es.............,..... 7.638 822 Germany ,..-.. ,5e7 ,O9S
