PIPKIN, Town Manager. FRICK CO. Eclipse Engines and Threshers I have several of the latest An American Merchant Marine. Correspondence of The News-Herald. Forty years ago, there was not an important harbor upon the face of the earth, where our merchant vessels were not daily visitors. Among the forests of masts in harbors like Liverpool, the Stars and Stripes was most conspicuous. Fluttering from a thousand masts, she commanded the respect and admiration of all. This flap; alone was neces sary to recommend a ship. Mer chants preferred our ships before all others. They knew the skill of our seamen and the durability of our vessels. In those days American shipping was supreme. To-day, there is quite a differ ent story. We no longer find our ships profiting in the world's trade. Foreign ports stand void of American merchantmen. Un til a few days ago, an American flag had not been seen flying from the mast of a ship in Liver pool harbor, for many years. Its very sight there now-a-days at tracts wide-spread attention and comment. In this respect Liver pool is by no means alone. This condition prevails throughout the foreign world. Our merchant men have gradually retired both from the Atlantic and the Pa cific. The glad sight of an Amer ican merchant vessel in a for eign port no longer greets the American traveler. The question naturally arises: What has brought about this de cline in American shipping? Why is it that to-day American bot toms carry oniy 9 per cent, of our foreign trade where formerly they carried 92 per cent? What however, cannot be altogether responsible ' for the present con dition of our merchant marine. There are other causes peculiarly our own which have led to this state of affairs. Foremost amor, g these are our economical growth and development. Under these conditions, it is somewhat diffi cult to revive our merchant ma rine. Actual investigations show that ship building cannot be car ried on so cheaply as in. foreign countries especially in Scotland. There are many reasons for this. In foreign countries as a general thing, labor is plentiful and con sequently cheaper than in Amer ica. Ship-building material is also cheaper in foreign coun tries. For instance in America, the ship-builder pays $40 a piece for a certain kind of steel plate which is bought in Scotland for $27. We are therefore handi- tyix thi? i n t 1 chines in stock for and 2 I Phe-r 1, NER, Machinery and Supplies, Statesviiie, N.

The United States has acted very unwisely in her merchant marine policy if in deed there are enough American merchantmen toward which a policy might be formulated. An other important consideration is! the fact that the United States excludes from her registry all foreign-built and foreign-manned vessels; Under such treatment many American vessels have been registered under foreign flags, and much American capi tal has been invested in foreign steamship lines. But still these objectionable restrictions are kept under the plea of affording protection to the American ship merchant marine? Have Ameri cans lost that energy and vip;or characteristic in former times? These questions cannot be an swered in a word. Different theorit-s have been advanced, but Ihe following observations seem to be highly pertinent at this time. We must go back to the time when American seamen were found all over the globe and note the conditions as they existed at" that time, and then nnip. the conditions as they are to-day. In 1789 Congress, seeing the necessity of building up a mer chant marine, passed a ship-pro- tr-ctiva tariff law. Under the benignant influence of this law, our foreign commerce began to steadily grow. At the time of our second war with Great Britain, we had so yreat a mer chant marine from which . to draw efficient seamen, that we defeated in almost every naval engagement the greatest and strongest sea power on earth. From now on until-the Civil War our merchant marine was su preme in the world's trade with few interruptions. At times we had shin-protective laws and above all things by the powers that are our competitors in peace and possible enemies in war." Our trade with Cuba, which is only a step from our back door, is almost exclueively carried in English bottoms; all our South American trade is carried in for eign vessels; and all our Pacific trade is fast being clutched by Japan. If we aim to maintain our trade and to acquire trade in terests in foreign countries, we ourselves must carry our trade. The foreigner engaged in carry ing our trade is not going to work to build it up, but will nat urally work for the trade inter ests of his own country. For every reason, then, an American merchant marine is imperative. We must have one if we are going to hold our pres ent place among the world pow ers. And the only way to get one is to remove these objection able restrictions and pass favor able laws. Repeal the act pro hibiting the registration of foreign-built ships in the American registry, and we can get good well-built sh'ps from the Clyde in Scotland about one-third cheaper than they can be ba built in the United States. Re move the objectionable tariff re strictions, and we can build ships almost as cheaply as the for eigner can. Grant a subsidy to merchantmen and our merchant marine will appear again. And lastly levy a tax on the cargoes of foreign ships carrying goods to American ports from countries other than the one whose flag they fly, and we shall expell the foreign ships from our trade. The great advantage of a mer chant marine in time of war is no mean consideration. Indeed this is one of the strongest argu great advantage of quickly trans forming merchant vessels into transports, colliers, and, other useful war vesssls, is lost to those countries which have no mer chant marines. And again the modern ships with their compli cated scientific mechanicism, can not be successfully manned by inexperienced men. A rrerchant marine is the only practicable way to give men such needed training. A merchant marine is a boon to any nation. It increases a na tion's power and prestige abroad and fastens trade. The glory and grandeur of a nation rests to a great extent in having a merchant marine. An efficient navy in time of war largely de pends upon a well organized mer chant marine. Destroy one and you cripple the other. The commanding-position of the United States among the world powers cannot long be maintained with out one. It should be the pride of every true and patriot'c American to hope for the day when the United States will possess an invincible and invalu able merchant marine.

Connelly Springs, N. C, August 15, 1914. Panama Canal Open to Commerce First Big Ship Went Through On the 15th. Panama Dispatch. 15th. The canal zone celebrated to day the opening of the canal. The festivities, however, were but local and suggested little of the international significance of the event. With the official Pan ama celebration set for next spring even the United States was not officially represented to day except by the men who have long been in the canal zone. The steamship Ancon, owned by the United States war depart ment and leased to the Panama railroad for service in the New York-Colon trade, was chosen as the first big boat to be put through, signalizing the opening of the -canal to all ships up to 10,000 tons register. Shortly be fore 7 o'clock this morning the Ancon was drawing away from her berth at Cristoble and anchored at the end of the deep water channel from the Atlantic ocean to the Gatun locks, where she remained until the start through the locks at 9 o'clock. She was to arrive at the end of the deep water channel in the Pacific at 6 o'clock this evening. All the 74 regular officers and men on board the Ancon ap peared in spotlessly white uni forms and the ship itself glist ened with new paint, over which fluttered signal flags and the flags of all nations. At the forepeak was the en sign of the Panama republic while at the mainmast head flut tered the house pennant of the Panama steamship fleet On the with the regular cargo that she The Mockery of War. had brought from New York, the AriwfflB Citizeiu freight having been purposely lQ the little kingdom of Hol- lef t on board to give the canal a ian(j some years ag0 there was full test with the ship drawing erected at The Hag ue"a beautiful its full depth of water. structure known the 'Temple The Ancon passed through the 0f peace."

Editor Cain of the Asheville Citizen who, by the way, is a I every harbor of the world shad called by Czar Nicholas of Rus sia, and the result of that meet ing was the creation of an "in ternational court of arbitration" for the settlement of disputes among nations. And the world rejoiced. For was this not the first step that would forever hang the sword and rifle upon the wall to rust and to decay ? Was not this the fulfillment of that divine message of the Prince of Peace: "Peace on earth good will toward men?" Men all over the world rejoiced, be cause were not the echoes of the Son of Man's command: "Put up the sword, for they that live by the sword shall also perish by the sword," rolling back through the mists of nineteen hundred years from the Judean hills? Christ's mission had not been in vain, they said. The leaven of Christianity, transforming men from mere brutes into noble souls, was surely working. And now what do we see ? Millions of soldiers under arms; almost owed by the engines of death and destruction; thousands of warships prowling about the waters that cover the earth; na tional coffers drained, and the people of suffering nations bowed down under the burden of it all. So it has ever been. Through all the ages the noblest and grandest instincts of man have been sacrificed; the toilers of all nations have been robbed and ravaged and oppressed, all to feed the insatiable passions of the war god. Differences that could be easily settled by enlightened bodies of men are submitted to the blind and senseless arbitra tion of the sword; might has in deed become right, and justice between peoples wanders naked and ashamed over the earth. This relic of barbarism has come down to us as a withering legacy, until today, black as death and red as hell, it menaces our last remnant of civilization. Gladstone, England's great premier, once declared : "The greatest tyranny of our age is militarism. " Who can doubt the truth of this as he looks over the earth today and sees the crimson tide swelling and flowing, car rying in its horrid vortex, chil dren, wives and mothers, all to satisfy the cravings of passion and ambition ?

So, as has been said, many Ameri cans are successfully operating steamship lines under foreign flags in the registries of coun tries more considerate of their merchant marines. As. to sub stantial aid, England grants an annual subsidy of $6,000,000 to her merchant marine. She has the largest in the world.

Its inestim able value was clearly show n by the contrast between the Spanish-American and Boer wars. In the Spanish-American War we had great difficulty in getting our soldiers transported to Cuba, so near at hand. We were com pelled to hire scores of foreign ships to transport men and pro visions as we had no merchant marine to do this for us. Now let us notice England, who had a large and efficient one.
