Tie Side.

President Wilson's statement that Eek
emption constitutes a mistaken economic
policy from every point Of view" was an
swered conclusively and most emphati'
cally by Speaker Clark when he said:
If so, Is not our policy from the very
beginning Of shutting out Of our coastwise
trade also "a mistaken economic policy?'
Do not our rules Of charging foreign YES
sells for warfage, dockage, pilotage, and
so forth, while charging u W vessels
no fees or smaller fees, also constitute q
mistaken economic policy,"if the Presi'
dent is correct? In short, If he is correct
Is not anything we can do to give u Owl
people any economic advantage whatso-
aver in the race for commercial supre-
macy "a mistaken economic policyY" Most
assuredly the mistaken economic-pOlicy"
reason Of the President Is untenable and
fades away before the stubborn facts OF
our history. :
Europe has taught US how mistaken
that policy is by building up her own mer-
chant marine, while we have been neglect
ing ours. We have commercial treaties
with all but a few Of the large powers, all
Of which have been substituting their own
ships, while we have been keeping the one
sided bargain.
That the Democratic party at Baltimore
and in the House Of Representatives meant
to change this condition was indicated
when the House passed the S per cent re-
bate clause, establishing the differential
in favor Of goods imported In American
bottoms. But this tariff clause, which
would have aided American shipping, was
held to be null and void when the foreign
powers protested.
Not a single world power has so small a
merchant marine as the United States.
And they intend to keep us in this weak
position If they can do it. How long will
we continue to submit to the domination
Of Europe with reference to the manage
ment of our own commerce? We have
opened our markets to the world by the
recent tariff law, and still Europe Is not
satisfied. AS Mr.. Clark says:
If the exemption from tolls should turn
out to be "a mistaken. economic policy"
we can repeal or modify it; but If we pass
this repeal bill, control over our OWN canal
built on our own soil with our W money,
Is gone from US and our heirs forever
