The American people Kftve been favored (?) with- a vast amount of'argument, seem­ ingly directed against the shipping bill now pending in congVess, but, really aimed at the efior. that is now being so strenuously made to revive and build up our .shipping in the foreign trade. No mdscutemcnj! has .been too wild, no untruth tpo ridiculous, no innuendo too base, no assertion of >enal- fty too absurd, to fail of use in £he hand* of. these malignant opponents of American in- tereet*. 'When the shipping bill fifot came before congress, the suggestion \was made - that swift ocean steamship* were what-were : most needed, mail carrier*, vessel*- avail-: able a* auxiliary cruisers—ocean gray-,, hound*, in short; and it was alleged that the alow cargo carriers could take care of themselves, that they^needed no assistance, they were profitable under present condi­ tion*, and similar arguments. , When if was pointed out‘that there wa* -tason for government aid for,slow ships, carrying only cargoes, because theyj were- at a disadvantage fn cost of construction, if AmeRcaA-buHtTTftnd-ot a-further disadvan­ tage in cost of operatiod, if run by American Officers and seamen and firemen, and thia truth became ItfPown, then the enemy turned, right-about-face and declared that : the ships that arejneeded to build up the . American merchant marine are the cargo carriers, the vessels that take, away eur farm product*, and not the swift patsen- ger steamships. The enemies of the shipping" bill have blown hot and blown cold, all in the same breath, mid. the pity is tfiat the American people are so utterly uninformed regarding the real facte concerning Amer­ ican shipping—concerning any shipping— -that they have been easily duped into be­ lieving the most extravagant things that mind could concoct in. order to fight and de- . le it the passage "of the shipping bill. ^ 7As a matter of fact the shipping Ml _is carefully drawn, on the most scientifio line*, drawn so i* to barely enable Amer­ ican-built and American-manned, ships to compete with foreign ships on term* of equality, and this is true of fast ships and of riow ships, of steamships and of sailing ithips-r-of any kind of.

Naturally these foreign shipping interests will fight the ahipplngbiU to ths death, and they art known to be do­ ing It In every way in their power.^ The other enemies, equally aa active, and supported by those first mentioned, are the fret trader*.

[Special Correspondence.! ' • >-y , - .Washington, p . C,', Jan. 1#,' ’ Considerable opposition"ito the payment of subsidies to swift American .steamships has developed In the press of the country. The statement ha* been widely circulated that' these ship.* merely ■ carry passengers icy, and to abroad to spend American mone bring back wines and silks for luxurious cit izens, and- that such ships, so employed, ara of no help to American commerce. What is Wanted, these opponents declare, is car- . go carriers, the low-powered steamships; that take cargoes wherever they offer, and carry them wherever they or* consigned, regardless of established line#. And these are the ships* they go on and assert, that have given Great.Britain her preeminence a* a maritime power.. ■ All this sounds plausible, and somewhat logical, and, if not analysed by thosa, hav­ ing- knowledge "of .the fact*, help# to'create : an unfavorable and hurtful sentiment' to­ ward. the'shipping hill now pending in congress which properly consider* swift steamships, as well as slow one*. A* a mat­ ter of fact, the swift steamships carry those •produots- from the United State* that are the most valuable, and, In many case*, the most perishable. Were it not for. the teat" steamship California fruits — a growing business—cfiuld not be exported to Europe;- with, them, the.exportation of Pacific coast fruits steadily grows and prosper*. All kind# of dressed meats, ham, bacon, lard jand.an infinite variety of agricultural or '‘farm products, that hav* gone through va-' rious stages of manufacture are sent abroad ip swift ship*. Swift ships carry the mail*; and it i*« - ’ sential that the mails, be carried with the utmost rapidity. Invariably swift- ship* are parts_ of regularly established lines, and they "make regular and frequent voyages tq and from their terpiinal points. The swift­ er, the"greater, the more powerful the ships,, the more profitable their use is-to their jm- spective terminal Countries, but the tnjdh 39 theless’remunerative they all are to their Owner*. They carry the most expensive cnrgoeA.that ,go both ways, the manufac­ tures upon which labor and-akill har<^been;; expended, and . which return the largest sums to their, producers. ' Bui these are the ships, the large, pow­ erful, swift odean-fiyors, that are most use­ ful to the nation in time of war. T.heyare at once available aa carrier# of important-, dispatches, in cases where celerity is of-the5 utmost-importance; they are useful a*.aux-v iliary cruisers, they can.be quickly trans­ formed into ^cruisers and then, prey upon and destroy the enemy's commerce; they can- act as scouts for fleets, and keep them- informed regarding the movements rnf"the enemy, keeping in touch with the enemy and eluding capture through their swift-’, ness, Thi’a was well illustrated by the four great ships, of .the only.American, line in the trans-Atlantic trade, during our war with , •Spam. They were steaming at full speed between 500 and 600. mites a day, far out- 'upon the Atlantic, keeping .'Watch, for Spain's cruisers, ready to report them tothe 'dying squadron at Hampton Roads, It was this scouting work, so effectively done, that compelled Spain to send CerVera.far. to the'south, when Uut-for-them Cetvera might .have threatened if not seriously and irreparably injured our great Atlantic and Gulf seaport*. . • •• ■ The swift steamships arc the nearcat at­ tainment to the ideal, the consummation of the highest hope# of the artists engaged in' their construction, at once ah effectjyedem- castration of man’s best handiwork; and at the same time an invaluable aid- to thena‘ tion when meet in need of aid. Such ship# are the. final outgrowth of regularly estab­ lished lines wbors a trade baa been built Up at great expense, after many yetra of faithful effort, and through a service that is thorough, complete and. attractive. They arethebest of their kind and a nation whose- people fail to appreciate them doe# not grasp the full significance nor the toll value of sea power. The so-called tramp steamships’, the ves­ sel* that carry Cargoes wherever deaitinsd, are merely the carriers of the surplus car- -goea that accumulate after harvesting, or at exceptional times, when the regular lines are overcrowded. But it is the regularlines that build up a nation's trade—never the. tramps—and they often do it for year* at a loss, until they ate thoroughly established ‘and have accumulated a paying business. And Britain's sea poifet lie* in her great steamship lines, not ri r i e in/her "tramps" s foreign steamship t7I£ the agent rtf i s are deliberately working to defeat tho pending- shipping bill—a# ia being said ail over the country-rcongresn should bs warned. The American people are not in the mood to* * legislation helpful to a great American in­ dustry defeated in ,the interest of foreign- f T Ooisgrc** is not, of course, deliberately conspiring to injur# any foreign interests. But i l the latter happens to monopolize any great American industry, a* they do the carrying of our imports and exports, 4and congress in legislating to promote thia in­ dustry in the United States does hurt for­ eign interest#, that is a mere incident, not the objective. , - CWJf the foreign^ steamship line# are spending money lavishly to defeat the ship5* ping bill now pending'in edngree*, s s it as­ serted iq Washington prew dispatches, it must be that tho bell in question Would hurt the foreign ships. It that be So, it must: fol­ low that it would help American ihips. Con- gre*s should hot be slow* to follow this ar­ gument to its logical conclusion.. cyCongress, as a body, cannot escape Its obligations -to the American people in the matter of providing legislation for the-te< vital of outr Shipping in the foreign trade, by saying that this or that bill ia not just perfect'.
