AMERICAN CARRYING TRADE AT
LOW EBB.

We have some trade with the growing
markets of the world, but our goods are
carried by our trade rivals. This was
not always SO. One hundred years ago
there was engaged in deep sea foreign
trade under our flag total of 981, 019
tonnage, more than we have today; one
hundred years ago we carried in Ameri-
can ships 80 per cent of cur trade. In
1861, the highest point we ever reached
in deep-sea tonnage, the total number of
tons was 2. 496, 1874, and we carried Is per
cent of our own trade. In 1909. in ships of
all kinds-sailing vessels, steam vessels,
and vessels of small size up to the largest
size-all told, we had tonnage of 940,-
068, and were carrying less than 10 per
cent of cur trade. There were less than
seven frst-class steamers on the Atlantic
plying to European ports; no steamers
plying between South American ports
and our own ports under the American
flag, save four on the Red D. Line to
ports in the Caribbean Sea. There
were six on the Pacific Ocean engaged IN
the business of this country; We are al
ready almost eliminated from the great
| struggle of the ocean-carrying trade.
To be sure, we have coastwise tonnage,
| the largest of any coastwise tonnage in
the world, amounting to 6,371, 1862 tons;
but this is strictly coastwise and cannot
be considered as affecting this question,
| for this trade we protect by laws forbid
ding foreign vessels to engage in it. The
tonnage among our foreign trade rivals
was distributed as follows:
British. 10, 7Os, 527
German. ...................... 4,202, 553
French. 1852, $50
Japanese ....................... 1,242,699
Norwegian. ........ .......... 1,977, 1913
And the worlds total, 40, 1926, 618. All
these nations subsidize, and since 1890
British tonnage has doubled, German
tonnage has trebled, and japanese ton
mage increased by ten times. 'Restor-
