The sum of $300,000,000 is paid to foreign shipping companies eich year for the carriage of American goods and passengers. This atmount is considered by many people to be too great altogether, as it is thought that a Da- tion of 80,000,000 people should be so self-con- tained as to render it unnecessary to pay to other nations such a large sum for services that, in certain circumstances, could be carried on by their own people.
