Mr.. Dingley's Report Against the
Free Ship Bill.

Mr.. Dingley's report against the free ship
bill introduced by General Slocum makes five
chief points. First. that it would be an in
justice to our ship builders, in view of the
fact that neither the existing tariff nor any
proposed tariff legislation admits any other
completed manufacture involving so much
skilled labor as does a vessel. without the
pay ment of at least 30 per cent duty second,
the free.ship policy looks to the purchase
abroad of whatever vessels we NAV want for
the foreign trade, and would inevitably re.
suit in the destruction of the ship-building in
dustry IN this country. The average wages paid
in an American ship-yard are at least 20 per
cent higher than in the Engi+h ship yards.
With this disadvantage, no capitalist would
invest the money required to establish iron
ship-yards iu this country (for as yet iron
ship-builling is in its infancy here), with the
knowledge that they mut comPe'e with
English builders in common market; third,
il We should adopt the policy of ad-
to American register. and thus open
To any one the privilege of buying
vessels on the Clyde for the foreign trade.
il would not materially increase the tonnage
of the American merchant marine for two
reasons First, because ship-huilding and
ship owning are so linked together that the
one uteres, rises aud falls with the other;
and second. because the chief obstacle
10 revival OF our foreign carrying
trade is not the first cost OF an
American vessel. but the difficulty of protita.
bly sailing it after it is built; fourth, the
most serious objection 10 the free-ship policy
in the uuted States is that its inevitable
tendency would be to prevent the successful
maintenance of such extensive shpyards as are
essential to build war vessels and transports
for offensive and defensive purposes. and
thus to deprive the nation of an indispen-
cable means of defence. The necessity which
exists for maintaining extensive shipy ards
for recourse in case of war must lead our
government. in the exercise of reasonable
prudence. to adopt such policy ss will look
to the building of our merchant marine, ss
we'll a. our ships of war, in this country.
Speaking of mail subsidies" Mr.. Dinglev
shows what immense sums have been paid
by England to establish her great mail steam
shin lines and what small sums the United
States have paid in comparison to establish
American lines The difference is so great
that il fully explains why we have succeeded
no better in that direction Mr.. Dingley
savs "when Congress shall remove the
differentisl charges on American vessels. and
provide for as reasonable mail pay TO Ameri-
can steamship lines in the foreign trade as
IL cheerfully grants TO coastwise steamers as
a simple act of justice. and not till then. we
shall begin To see our steam marine on the
ocean increase. our iron shipysrds multiply,
our naval reserve for the emergency of wal
enlarge. and our trade with South Americs
and other countries. with which we have nc
direct communication, develop"
