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.
