possossed now of a population, a wealth, and, It must be added, a reserve of national energy, which no European country can equal. They have colonics, spheres of influence, and a great fleet. Their ambitions-as a world Power stand golf-confessed; yet they have consistantly neglected and allowed to fall into decay thoir mercantile marine. So far back as 1870 Pro- gident Grant warned them of their oversight, and appealed to Congress to make it good. His efforts then were as fruitless as those of President Arthur, Mr. Blaine, President Harrison, Presi dent McKinley, and President Roosevelt hare since boon. The American shipbuilding industry remainte-day the "ona auprotected industry” of the United States, and the one greatindustry that has steadily lost ground. In 1961, the tonnage of American registered vessels amounted to over Aro-and-a-half million tons. It was thieu not far behind the contemporary tonnage of Great Britain, and was practically equal to that of all other countries combined. By 1871 t had sank to a million and a half, and by 1905 it well below a million tons. The scene in San Francisco Haroof to-day gives a good idea of what those statistios moan in fact. Sun Francisco is one of the chief centres of American trade with the East. Vaat shipments pass each year through its docks, but they are Got ouried in American bottoms. American Fassols rust at anchor while their rivals pass through the Golden Gate laden with cargo which by

every right should be theirs. Only five are now commissioned for the trans-Pacific trade, and it is patriotism, we are told, and not hope of gain that keeps their fage flying. Thus the white Power whose Guvernment of all others is most alive to the advantages of the trade of the Far East, and whose position on the map should best enable it to pursue that trade, is obliged to rely for its furtherance almost entirely apon foreign help It is the same in the case of South America The development of South American trade is, and has for some time been, one of the chief objects of the State Department in Washington. Yet Mr. Root on his return in 1905. from his tour through the southern continent, was obliged to inform Mr. Roosevelt that South Anterica was hardly in communication with the United States, and that its commercial relations were almost exclusively with Europe,

Since then matters have not improved. Can gress has rejected each successive monstre for the subsidizing of trans-Pacific and South American steamship lines, and the Americati mercantile marins on the high seas is in danger of complete extinction. Legislative entrant- geante is, however, bat a contributory cause of the low estate to which it has fallen: By what

England has one-fourth as many pensioners por thousand as Ireland and very many less por thousand than Scotland. Yet the revenue returns show that England pays in proportion to her population a heavier share of taxes than Scotland, while Ireland is, as a recent official answer has admitted, costing the British taxpayer a deadweight sum of £1,183,000 for the purely Irish services..

A fost which comes out from the figures in the extraordinary longevity of the Irish. The total calculated number of persons aged soventy and over in Ireland was placed officially in 1907 at 173,000. But of these many would be dis alified as papers and persons with incomes above the limit. Yet there are 11,0 more Irish pensioners than the total number of Irish persons over seventy, is calculated:

An explanation of this astounding exception to the vital statistics which are correct alse- where throughout the world has yet to be given.

The total cost of old-tge pensions cau.be roughly calculated from the above figures; Assuming that they include administration charges, the ontlay for the year at the same rate will be over eight million pounds.
