(The Alaska Daily Press)

One of the queerest things American history hast been the n,which the country has allowed its mer chant marine-onee the finest and most famous the sink the position of unwanted and badly undernoursh ei 3stepchild,
 A century ago American ships were seen In every port on the globe and the1fag familiar sight on every This not only meant that American exporters were doing whale of business it meant that the na- ton was fully alive to itsmembership in the world unity that the ~oddidea of building prosperity H- side Chinese wall had mot yet been thought of
 But during zthe past generatonsthe merchant marine dwindled and almost died forhe ceastwse trades American-hag ships rarely An enormous fleet had been built during but it rusting to obsoIescence in harbor The country seemed to have forgotten the part its ships had once played n building up prosperity
 fewsyears ago, attempts were made toQreEive the merchant marine. The government awarded mail-carry- ing contracts to divers steamship lines paying out fab ulous that packet of dozende1fers nght De dropped of at Out-of4he ports The contracts were reaH subsidies. enabe steamers to. make runs which otherwise would hot p@Fs Since they were disguised subsidies they were expensive and inefficient
 Now, at last, it begins to look as hthe merchant rrine is to established stradghtforSard basis The old fnan contracts have been canceed In ther place are set of straight-out subsidies The government has s;ened contracts with 23 steamship companies, under which the companies will receive direct money payments from Uncle that they canTcempete with ferelg nag lines auzeeual basis
 Oddly enough, the direct payments proving less expensive than the indirect which were made under the mail contract system. For instance: agreements which will keep 15B ships n-operaton during the next six months are cQxtng the government s46OOOOO under under the mail system, tire cost for the same ships in the same period would have been S7,6OeeOU
 Furthermore the subsidies set up nfsuch a way that the steamship copanies by returning to the gov ernnen all profits above 12zper actuaiystara In some cases to return the full price 1.-the subsidies
 The net result of this new system should be all to the good In the place, it will lead to much new shin buding-it is esnated for instance, that 100 new fast ocean ships will be built in the next few years
 Lastly; it wEI prove asstimuus to American com- nren-e Our eyes will beeurned beyond the seas once more as in the great old days before the Civil War Wes may get awav from the Chinese wall theory of prosper y-and with the world for market, find strong new urup for industrial richness

TRADE AND EMPLOYMENT IN MISSISSIPPI

Automotve, petroleum, and other industries connected
WIN highway transportation provide jobs and wages for one
out OF every SIX persons employed in Mississippi's wholesale.
retail, and service establishments. This statement is made by
the National Highway Users Conference. Other facts about
trade and employment in Mississippi are:
approximately one out of every seven wholesale, retail
ana service estabhshmentsiin the state, or a total of 3232 out
OF 22,l05 such establishments, depends upon the automotive
petroleum and allied trades for its existence.
Those trades, according to the preliminary 1895 figures
just released, account for 227 per cent of the total payroll
OF Mlsslsslppis wholesale, retail. and service establishments.
or ~$5,377,000 out of $23, 773,0OO.
The total volume of sales for all wholesale, retail. and
service business in the state amounted to 1865. sos 900, of
which ~$69,370,O00 represented purchases by motor vehicle
owners OF all classes. From 1888 to 1885. the retail sales in
creased from $14O,S55,000 to $177, 27O,OOO, or 26 per cent,
white the automotive retail sales increased from SIS. 965, 900
to $29, 7050O or 81 per cent.
These figures outline for the first time the current con-
trlbutlon of the automotive transportation trades to Mississ-
lppls economic welfare. They show that purchases by the
motoring public keep every seventh business house or service
establishment in Mississippi from closing its doors, save every
sixth person IN the states wholesale, retail, and service
trades from unemployment. and prevent almost %one-fourth
of the business payroll from drying up.

WAGON SHOULD BE MADE TO CARRY SIGNALS

We want to go on record as favoring a law compelling
owners OF Wagons and other vehicles to register them in the
county IN which they reside and said vehicles to be checked
for warning signals.
Ii every wagon in this County carried a warning signal
OF some KIND that could be clearly seen at a distance at night
the probability of accident would be cut down considerably.
when SO many accidents occur in which the absence of a
warning light is the determining cause, it is nothing short of
y p nosnsonoe ~ MOI use some warning signal.
he'd warning reflectors can be secured at fye-and-ten
cent stores throughout the country. We are not working up
business for the five and ten stores but we do believe that
some system should be worked out whereby every farmer
should have these reflectors on both sides of his wagon at
night. And they only cost ten cents each. Bought in quantity
lots they might be secured for even less.
Ten cents is q mighty small investment when it might
save. one or more lives.
