The death Of Mr.. Collins. the founder
OF the great steamship line which years
ago bore his name, its sudden collapse
when the government withheld the usual
subsidy. and the numerous propositions
now pending before Congress for re-
newal OF the old subsidy system, suggest

propriety Of telling the story of the Col
Inns subsidy aud all subsidies. He saws :
Not only have the millions aud scores OF
millions spent by America and Europe

lish single seli-sustaining ocean steam
ship line &c egg foreign country, but the

not one subsidized ocean steamship line
has yet succeeded in permanently estab-
fishing Itself on self-sustaining basis. ex-
cept under conditions such that one or
more unsubsidired lines have been able to
do the same thing on the same route A;

died lines Oh the very waters where the

ably more than 100000, 900 have been
