WASHINGTON LETTER.

49, WASHINGTON, D. c., Dee % '7S,
Undoubtedly railroad and steamship aid |
gr .nts, and many other dispositions made
b. Congress of the peoples money, arc
outside Of express authorization in our
c. institution. The ideal constitutional
7 rty will grant no subsidies. But it is
'oubtful il such party could now control
single State, or would have done 30 for
nlny years past, or could do 30 for years
t, come. Inside and outside Of parties,
tie people have come to believe in what
Jaay be called practical politics. The
Western farmer, the Southern planter, the
Eastern manufacturer, demand markets
1or what they have 10 sell. The feeling ia
strong that while the Governments of other
countries aid by subsidies the lines Of
steamships which carry abroad the pro-
ducts of those countries, ours should do the
same. Except the Russian Government,
,urs hes done more than any other to es>
t.blish railroad lines for internal com,
Inunication. Except the Russian Govern
nent it has done less than any other civil
lied one to assist ocean navigation. II
appeara now that we, who are nearer than
the French or English to the limitless
markets of South America, are kept by
the merchants of those countries from en-
loving the benefits ofSouth American trade,
The manner in which this is done is briefly
this. The French and English Govern
ments pay subsidies to lines of steamers
running from their own 10 South Ameri.
can ports, sufficient in amount to enable
: their merchants to undersell US in those
4, parts notwithstanding our geographical
advantages. 1t Is popularly believed that
the English steamers runnig to South
. American ports stop at New York or
their passages to and from England. They
do not. They bring cargoes from South
America to New York but the cargoes K
South America are taken from Eng slish pors
During sessions of Congress indeed, wher
there seems to be danger of aid to ar
American line, the British lines run small
steamers to New Y TX and from New
York to South American ports, but with
draw them wien Congress adjouins. Al
this is preliminary to the statement tina
upon the return of Congress next montl
there will be an effort made to secure ali
for the line Of steamers now running at
loss from New York and likely to b
