Importance and of consum ing Interest Is the shipping bill Re cently there has arisen a very general feeling of confidence In tho ultimate passage of some kind of n shipping bill before the close of

changed before final passage This has been regarded ns ono of the features most likely to attract and hold the votes of Democrats ns the free admission of foreign built vessels to American registry Is In lino with their demands for n long time back And yet If this provision Is stricken out it will uot be by Republican votes The real facts seem to be thnt the opponents of the bill find It much easier to get Into communication with Demo crats than they do with Republicans nnd as the former nre prone to believe statements that nre made to them iu apparent good faith and with seeming plausibility they have absorbed an Im mense amount of misinformation con cerning the provisions and objects of the bill The opponents of the bill nre most happy when they are mystifying people

people know thut the passage of the shipping bill menus a long period of fierce com petition with American ships and n consequent reduction iu tho rates of transportation that will wipe out prac
