Bolt of Democratic Senators.

An old five-mastered schooner,
the James w. Paul, Jr., that cost
$780, 900 and that would have earn
ed probably ten thousand a year,
now makes $5S, 900 in freight rates
in a few months. Her earnings
in the sisal trade were $5, 900 9
month and expenses. Thus does
war profit the ship owner.
OF course these rates are extra.
ordinary, and the ultimate con.
sumner has to pay them. The list
buyer of the goods made from 81
sal pays this extreme high rate
and the man of small means al
over the civilized world who buys
anything is paying these abnormal
water rates.
If President Wilson's emerg
ency shipping bill had become {
law, this burden would have beer
lifted from the shoulders of tn,
poor man. Immediately on tn,
passage of that measure this coun
try would have bought up a mum
Der of ships and ordered Others
built, giving employment to many
laborers and by potential competi
ton forced down freight rates.
Why did not all our law.mak
ers see thisi Why did not Ala
bama Senators who bolted theil
party caucus and torpedoed thii
wise measure see itf
A Democratic believes in low
tariff, in low freight rates, in Low
cost of living, Seven Southern
Democrats, all Federal Senators
voted for high tariff, high freigh'
rates and high cost of living
They should have thought of tn,
plain people, the ultimate consum
ers, before they deserted their par
ty and their party's President
