But the merchants of Baltimore, which city is in close proximity to Wilmington, do not go there for their supply of ocean steamers, but use British-built vessels, which they cannot own or run as American property, in their extensive fruit trade with Central America and the West Indies ; and the same is true of those lines of steamers which are engaged in like business running out of Philadelphia.
The following is an even more striking instance of the disadvantage the merchants of the United Sta...tes labor under in being prohibited from buying foreign vessels for use in their own business. There were, a few months ago, twenty-four Norwegian steamers running on time charters in the fruit trade between New York and Baracoa, and more than half of these steamers were built in Great Britain or other countries foreign to Norway. What does this mean ? It means that our stupid system prohibits our 24 THE DECAY OF OUR OCEAN MERCANTILE MARINE.
