Excerpt from The American Carrying Trade: A Plain Talk to Our Public Men and People Who Desire the Revival of Our Ocean Carrying Trade, and the Steady Development of the Resources and Industries of the United States; And Who Recognize the Need of Opening Up New Markets to Keep Pace With the Natio IN presenting this monograph upon the American carrying trade on the ocean, the criticism may be fore stalled that too much is said about the emergency of war and 'the policy of England. It may here be offered in apology, that it was through the emergency of war we lost that trade; and that it was England who took it from us. It is, moreover, in the light of the policy that made England the first carrying nation of the world, and enabled her to seize every opportunity to extend her ocean empire, that we may most profitably study the condition of our own carrying trade, and consider what remedy exists for its present deplorable depression.
