TRADE Of AMERICAS
IN imminent DANGER
Britain Is Requisitioning Ships to
Handle Shipments of
Food.

LONDON. January 4.-The govern
ment is taking stringent measures to
see that the prevailing shortage in
ships shall not interfere with the ship
ment of food and other necessities to
ports in the United Kingdom. Vessels
are being reauisitioned right and left
for the shipment Of wheat from the
Americas, and in shipping circles it is
reported that the admiralty intends to
call in the British ships that are now
trading between foreign ports. The
latter measure is expected to particu-
larly affect British ships trading be-
tween South America and the United
States. Shippers here predict that such
action would have disastrous effect
on this trade.
Ship owners in England and neutral
shippers regard the newborn energy
OF the government with misgivings. as
requfsitioned wheat ships are receiving
only 13 shillings. compared with the
normal rate of Is shillings.

It is reported on the Baltic shipping
exchange that the American coffee
trade. which is largely dependent on
British ships, will be vitality injured by
any considerable withdrawal Of these
vessels, for SUFFICIENT neutral ships to
take their places do not exist.
Other trades with South and Central
American ports also will suffer great
damage II the reQuisitioning plan 10 ex-

REPRESENTATION OF
VOTERS

The New York World, Democratic,
is hurting epithets at the Republican
national committee because the new
apportionment of delegates will give a
smaller representation to Southern
states, which never help elect a Re-
publican candidate. The particular
complaint of the World is that the de-
crease in representation will be in
states that send colored delegates. IF
the World is so solicitous for the well
fare of the colored delegates, it can
find plenty of room for agitation with
in the Democratic party. The last Re-
publican national convention contain.
ed So colored delegates. The Demo
cratic convention contained none, ex-
eept that a eolored alternate from Col
orado was seated on the third day of
the convention when his principal be-
came i'll. Now let the World and all
other Democrats shout themselves
hoarse over lack of representation for
the colored voters.

AN EVIDENCE OF
DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY,

In one of the large cities of the West
IN the last ten days of December, sixty
Jurors were summoned to serve in the
trial of cases. The clerk of the court
informed them that few eases would
be tried before the first of the wear
and he would be glad to excuse any
who desired to go and attend to their
private business. Two men stepped
from the ranks.
"Not enough" said the clerk
"Now, all you fellows who have Jobs
you can hold down during the holi-
days will please step out"
Two more men said they could make
more money at something else. The
clerk said afterward that less tina,
half of the remaining jurors could be
used.
"They win fight for jobs on the iu.
ry," he predicted. "Some of the men
are in business for themselves. and
others have jobs which pay less than
50 a day. | guess they figure they need
the money"
That story was originally published
by a paper which delights to boast OF
present prosperity.

SENATOR NEwLANDS
cRITIcIzEs ADMINISTRATION

In a speech delivered in the Unite.
States Senate Tuesday, Senator New
lands sharply eriticizes the policies o
the Democratic administration. Con
corning the Underwood tariff and tn
banking law, Senator Newlands said
in part:
'eIt is safe to say that the man
ufacturing, the banking and the
large corporate interests are hos
tile to the Democratic party and
that their employees are also pre-
pairing to throw their weight
against it, not because its admin
istration has brought good times,
but on the contrary has, in their
Judgment, brought bad times.
Regarding the tariff, my view
was that our undertaking was not
Immediately to adopt a theoreti-
eaIly correct tariff system, but
simply to climb gradually down
from the protective heights upon
which the Republican party had
placed the manufacturing interests
of the country; not to jump down
at the risk of destruction, but 10
climb down slowly and laborious-
ly with a view to preserving, as
far as practicable, every American
industry and injuring none.
"When we came to a practical
realization of what we had prom
Used by legislation, we were inclin-
ed, I thought, to go too fast and
too far.
fThe effect of the tariff legisla-
tion was what I feared it would be.
The tying up of production in this
country was the result, not of a
malicious effort of the mannfac-
turers to teach the country a les
son, but of the caution and timidi-
ty which can in many eases be
proved without reason, but which
nevertheless always exist under
like conditions"
Senator Newlands, who is generally
conceded to be one of the country s
most able statesmen, has been out OF
sympathy with the Democratic party
for many years. Were he a private
citizen, instead of a United States Sen
ator elected by Democratic votes, it is
probable that he would have been vot-
ing the Republican ticket for many
years.
