Special Dispatch to tht InteQlgencsr.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 5,-Senator
Elkins, of West Virginia, to-day
delivered a remarkable speech (a necessarily
brief abstract of #b1ch follows)
in favor of his bill to place'* discriminating
duty of 10 per cent On all imports
carried In other .than United
states vessels. In advocacy of this plan
be has prepared an arrajr of statistics
and presented an argument which cannot
well be answered. If the United
/<?3?&k.
Senator S. B. Klklita.
States desires to regain even a portion
of its supremacy on. the seas It
roust I)q by the method prepared by
Senator Elktm. Other plans have been
advanced, such as subsidies and free
'hipping, but the flrst would be too expensive
and unsatisfactory and the
other is as fallacious as free trade in
building, up American induNtrles. If
there is anything In the principle of
protection It should ba applied to
American stripping and Senator Klklna
has pointed out the most direct way of
reaching the desired result.
The Unlttd States spends every year
n large amount to keep up our consular
*?-? !- >?/,?? n I Amalr>>iiii
trade and commerce. Year after year
these consul* have been making their
reports to the state departmen: and every
one who discusses the American Interests
tells the same story, n story
which causes every American deep regret.
. No American vessels have appeared
In port, or if so. It is ??omo
pmall tramp steamer. Good* for American
ports are carried In foreign vessels.
Few American goods are shipped back,
. and they are carried In foreign vessels.
In the South American and Asiatic
countries there are no bonking facllltlea.
American business is done through
English banks. English vessels and
English banks do what little American
bunlnesa la done. English vessels carry
English goods and English business follows
English ships. Our consuls report
that other nations. Germany, France.
Italy, Portugal, Holland. Belgium and
lesser countries are pushing their business
In their ships and through their
hanking houses close behind England,
whose supremacy on the seas and In the
marketa of the world is unquestioned.
American Flag Sot Vmb.
The United States, to the shame of
every patriotic citizen who reads these
reports from foreign lands, does llttlQ,
or no business In these various markets
of the world, except to purchase goods
carried In foreign vessels. The Amerl
can flag is not seen on the nign seas.
The homesick traveller gases over the
hsrbor of foreign ports In vain for a
?lffht of the stars and stripes. In the
tinny marts of the world, perhaps, now
there In seen an American vessel, but
very *eldotn. Aside from the American
line to Southampton we have no regular
line* to Europe. Some of tho greatest
shipping ports In Germany have no
record of an American vessel In port In
thirty years.
It does not need, however, a series of
reports from our consular officers to
show that American trade abroad Is
not what It should be and that the decadence
In American shipping Is an undisputed
fact. With American ship*
American trade would /lourlsh. If
American ships received a sufficient
compensation to enable them to carry
the foreign goods to our shores, these
ships would and could carry American
goods abroad.
There has been no mow extensive ar
presented by Henator Klkin*. Ills presentation
of the subject ought to
Arouse the people to action. If tho*c
who oppose his plan can point out a
better method they flhould hasten to do
so. He has m?de It clear that subs Idies
will not accomplish the result.
Knglnnd could pay two dollars to our
one. he truthfully observes, and besides
Kngland has hor murltlme power nlready
established. Free shipping, lie also
nhows, would not accomplish the result.
It wduld merely mean that the
American flam would fly over forelgribullt
ships a no foreign owned ships. It
would be,on assistance to the great rl\:il
with whom we must competr.
Probably the most aeHuus objection
that will be raised to the plan of Henalor
Blklns Ik that such a duty would in" "a?.?
the cost of goods to consumers.
for a time considerable amount of
goods would still be carried In foreign
vessels and would have to pay the ten
Per cent, even of goods on the free list.
This need not worry consumers. The
great maple imports, tea, coffee, and
sugar, could easily l?e carried In Ami r?
l> ?n vessels. In the fifteen months from
the time the bill passes until It noes Into
effect enough Atnorlcan vcswels could
