A GREAT MAGNIFICENT FLEET.

Our Coastwise Shipping Exceeds the Whole
Merchant Tonnage of Germany, Italy or
France.
Figures of our great coastwise COM
merce, contained in a recent article on
the Panama canal trade, in the Ameri-
can Monthly Review of Reviews, have
been going wide round of daily news
papers and must have given some mil
lions of our inland people vivid idea of
the magnitude of that part of the Ameri-
can merchant marine which is protected
by the Government.
According to the latest records of the
Bureau of Navigation, there are now
TIA, 1872 tons of shipping under the
American flag, of which 2, 949, 1924 tons is
represented by the shipping of the great
northern lakes, but the Atlantic fleet is
larger still, or 1925, 595 tons, and the
Pacific fleet is 963, 319 tons. Vessels of
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the western
rivers make up the remainder of the ag-
gregate of 7,714. 1872 tons, all but 932, 101
tons of which is employed in domestic or
coastwise commerce.
The American coastWise fleet of 6, 1872
! 092 tons, says this Review of Reviews
, article, compares impressively with the
1,3S0.057 tons of British shipping en-
ployed wholly or partly in the coastwise
trade of the United Kingdom. or with
the entire German merchant marine, in
both foreign and coastwise commerce,
of 4, 593, 095 tons, or with the total g.
0S9, 065 tons of France, or with the total
], ASP, $40 tons of Italy"
1t is very important that the vast eX-
! tent of our domestic American shipping
should be emphasized and understood
1t proves beyond the shadow of doubt
that where there is fair opportunity the
American genius for shipowning and
! shipbuilding asserts itself in this genera
ton just as signally as in the time of the
! fathers. 1t shows moreover, that in this
coastwise shipping. much of it is of a
genuine ocean character We have the
nucleus for the development under more
| favorable conditions of an equally great
mercantile fleet for overseas carrying
! Ignorance of maritime conditions in
| the interior of our country is, unfortu-
nately, profound. 1t was not very long
/ ago that one of the principal newspapers
of middle Western State was exultant-
| ly citing the huge lake feet as proof that
| all AlneFlcdn SDlppiIlS cOulu De created
without subsidies" or any other assis-
lance from the Government. This news
paper was published in great State
that abutted upon the lakes but its edi-
! tors apparently were unaware of the
existence of the century-od coastwise
laws that absolutely prohibit foreign
ships from trading between American
| ports on rivers, lakes or ocean.
The campaign of education on behalf
of our American merchant marine still
has an appalling amount of inland dense
ness and prejudice to overcome. The

GOOD REASONS.

Those Third District Progressives give
some excellent reasons why not to vote
with them. Read their platform.
They call themselves Progressives; but
what is more retrogressive than their de-
mand for repeal of the Taft Reciprocity?
What is more retrogressive than the repe-
etition ofthat stuff about the pay en-
velope at home and abroad? What is more
retrogressive than that chestrut-that
hollow chestnns-about equalizing condi-
tons forth farmer and manufacturer?
That eightt,,hour day plank is mon
strous NEEDLE with the human beings
right to earn his living. 1t is robbery
of the multitude-the same kind of rob-
berry with protective tariff.
Another indefensible NEEDLE is the pro-
posed federal commission to supervise
industrial corporations.
The Third District Progressives give
excellent reason why you Oh ould not Join

MONHECAN IN 1914.

The Maine Historical Society is ar
ranging another tercentennial celebra-
ton as reminder that things of mo-
ment were happening along the beauti-
1ul coast of that State long years before
the Mayflower anchored in Plymouth
harbor. This time grand old Monhegan,
~ miles out to sea, is to be the scene of
the celebration which will take place in
1914 in honor of the 3OOth anniversary of
the visit of Capt. John Smith. He
made call at the island and made it his
headquarters for time while he was
exploring the neighboring coast. 1t was
on this voyage from jamestown that
John Smith gave this part of the vast
and vague Virginia grant the name of
New England which it it has ever since
retained, and his map of the region was
the best that had been made.
The anniversary is we'll worth celebra-
ton; and, as earlier at St. Croix island.
st. George, Popham and Castine, the
observance of the tercentenary cannot
fail to attract wide interest. Monhegan
is in a class by itself among New Eng
land coast islands. Until the artists and
vacationists discovered it few years
ago it had primitive charm that even
now is not WHOLLY vanished. Before
John Smith anchored in it's little harbor
other explorers from the Old World had
been there, and Weymouth nearly a
decade earlier set up the cross on its
shore, and the historian of his expedition
gave most interesting account of the
island. Soon after Smith was there, the
traders and fishermen came; and the
resulting settlement has been continuous
for almost three centuries. Hitler and
to the neighboring islands came the Pill
grims from Plymouth for the corn that
saved them from starvation in 1922.
The history Of the island is a most ro-
mantle story; no island of our shores is
richer in lore and legend Hot days like
these bring to one who has ever visited
it's always cool cliffs longing to return
there that is almost irresistible. The
Boston Herald.
