We look back upon that with regret now because the subsidies led to many scandals of which we are ashamed ; but we know that the roalroads had to be built and if we had it to do over again we should of course build them, but in another way. Therefore I propose another way of providing the means of transportation, which must procede, not tardily follow, the development of our trade with our neighbor states of America. Opening Routes of Travel. It may seem a reversal ' of the natural order of things, but it is true, that the routes of trade must be actually opened bjr many ships and regular sailings and moderate charges before streams of merchandise will flow freely and profitably through them. Hence the pending shipping bill, discussed as the last session but as yet passed by neither house. In my judgment such legislation is imperatively needed and can not wisely be The government postponed. must open these gates of trade, and open them wide; open them before it is altogether profitable to open them, or altogether reasonable to ask private capital to open them at a venr ture. It is not a question of the government monopolizing the field. It should take action to make it certain that transportation at reasonable rates will be promptly provided, even where the carriage is not at first profitable; and' then, when the carriage has become sufficiently profitable to attract and engage private capital and engage it in abundance, the government I very ought to withdraw. Conthat the hope earnestly gress will be of this opinion and that both houses will adopt this exceedingly important bill. Rural Credits.

It is immediately pressing and exigent in connection with the immense coast line of Alaska, coast' ine greater, than that of the Jnited States themselves, though it is also very impor-an- t indeed with regard to the older coasts of the continent. We cannot use our great Alas-ea- n domain, ships will not ply hither, if those coasts and their many hidden' dangers are not thoroughly surveyed and charted. The work is incomplete at almost every point. Ships and lives have been lost in threading what were supposed to be well known main channels.
