Show AS TO FARES AND FREIGHTS. - Last Saturday ;)641 cabin passengers sailed frcra the port of New York for Europe on eight steamships. One waa an Ameriean steamer the old St. .Paul whii-h carried 400 passengers, not quite one-ninth of the whole, and of the ships all were finer than . the American ship. One would think that in very shame, our government would change this. Probablv nine-tenths of those who sailed were I Americans. The Herald publixhea the names of all the prominent passengers and they are all Ameri, cans. That means that on that day alone triOO.OOO waa transferred from the United Statea to -Oreat Britain and the continent, that money which will never return unlesa it eomes for American interest bearing bonds, to draw interest, which interest will be sent abroad. A business man who would handle his business aa our government permits our foreign passenger and freight business to be bandied ban-died would be held as a lunatic. |
