THE WHALEB ACK.
The queer looking craft known as
a whaleback steamer that recently
carried a cargo of wheat in nafety
from Dululli across the Atlantic
lias caused no end of discussion on
both sides of the ocean, and it is
now admitted even in Kngland that
the American idea is very likely to
revolutionize shipping. More than
that, it may be the means of again
giving the United States a leading
place in handling the ocean carry
ing trade of the world. The great
Miiccess of the lirst trans-Atlantic
voyage has stimulated the con
Htruction of many duplicated of the
first vessel of this pattern to cross
the ocean, and in a very few years
the old style of freight steamer may
be rendered practically worthless
The whaleback has many points
of advantage over all competitors
It is cheaper to build by 25 per cent
than the old style ship of like capa
city. It offers less obstruction to
the waves and is therefore safer and
can be propelled with less power
The saving in coal alone is from
$40 to $50 per day. The two items of
cost of the ship and the expense for
fuel are alone enough to give the
American cratt a .sharp advantage
over the Knglish steamers. But
this is not all. One of the princi
pal reasons that the Knglish can
underbid us at present in ocean
freight rates is the fact that higher
wages are demanded by American
sailors. An ordinary steamer of the
old type requires a crew of thirty
men. A whaleback can be man
aged by twenty. So in spite of the
high scale of wages paid to Amer
ican seamen, the American vessel
owners will still be in a position to
compete with the world in rates,
thanks to the inventive mind of the
designer of the "pig of the sea," the
queer looking but wonderfully ser
viceable whaleback.
It can hardly be expected that
other nations will fail to copy the
new vessel, dreat rsritam will en
ter the lists with fleets modeled
after the Wetmore. In the mean
time, however, the builders ou this
side of the water will be making
steady progress both in improving
RECIPROCITY AND PROTECTION
The persons who see, as many
profess to do, an essential aid
necessary antagonism between reci
procity and a protective tariff have
not given much intelligent thought
to either quesi'on. In the c:se of
each the object is to build rp the
industries ind t"ade of the country
and better the condition of the
people. A protective tar'ff seek

writing to the president addresses him
properly. Each correspondent seems to
follow his own eweet fancy. Thus the
man who writes and asks for a pension
or an office on the ground that he served
in the war is apt to begin his letter,
"Dear General,'' and after having told
his wants he signs himself, 'Yors fraternally."
This is pretty familiar. The president
