TRADING WITH FOREIGN NATIONS.

SuC VI hOob LCmoi AootC AoSbo ia
the economic and commercial history of
the United States is that in it's youth.
full years it disputed the denomination
of the ocean with Great Britain, then
and now the mistress Of the seas, while
to-day ship sailing or steaming under
q Unitec States flag is sight most rare
to any foreign port.
To-day of all the great nations this
grand republic is at the bottom of the
list IN it's provision for carrying it's vast
commerce. But there was time when
our merchant marine and our carrying
trade we're iustiiiable causes Of national
pride.
1t is stated, on the basis of authori-
tative statistics, that in the DAYS OF
wooden ships material for shipbuiIding
were plentiful. labor was cheap and the
population Of the Atlantic coast turned
t. seaman,hip as a natural means Of
livslybood. At home our shipbuilding
flourished; abroad our carrying trade
grew at q rate 80 phenomenal as 10
threaten an American overthrow of
British maratime supremacy. During
the "forties" and "fifties" American
bottoms carried over nine-tenths OF the
overseas trade of the United States.
Even as late as the beginning of the
Civil War, according to the statistical
abstract Of the Bureau of Statistics in
the Department of Commerce and Labor
more than s. per cent OF our total for.
eign commerce was carried in Ameri.
can ships. The Yankee sailor and the
Yankee clipper ship were supreme;
American ships, manned by Americans,
were carrying the stars and stripes into
every seaport Of the world.
To-day merchant ship carrying the
United States nag is so much of q
rarity that it is a curiosity when seen
in foreign port. And yet our carrying
trade is immense. In 1851, of our ex.
ports and imports, amounting to 5S5,
DOC, 900 tons, IS per cent were carried
in our own ships. In 1911, when our
c mmerce amounted to three billion
tons and more, less than 9 per cent was
carried In our American ships.
But apparently we have no difficulty
in getting the other 81 per cent carried
in foreign vessels. The other maritime
nations, knowing We have no ships.
have provided for our needs and have
reaped q vast harvest.
Let US suppose that We were sudden.
~ to become able TO carry our own
commerce; what tremendous blow
that would be to the maratime pros
perity of the other nationsl But there
Is no possibility Of it, and all the world
knows the fact.
In 1905 Congress appointed the Mer-
chant Marine Commission tn investi.
gate and determine how the United
States could solve the problem Of car
rying its own commerce in it's own
ships.
Shipbuilders and ship owners testi-
fed before that commission that 1t cost
from Is per cent more to construct and
operate American than foreign ships.
AMI that there remained only syste N
of subsidy and bounty to steamship
lines to enable them to compete sue
cessfully with the foreign. But even il
the subsidized lines carried freights at
the same rates as the foreign lines there
would still be the bounties which would |
be tax on the American people. IN.
