THE SUBSIDY QUESTION.
In the ctcsicg hours yesterGa. Mr..
McMiIlip, of Tennessee, prsst
from the Committee on the American
Ship Building and Ship Owning H.
terests an adver;e report on Mr.. Neg
ley's bill giving subsidy to Ameri-
cans of 80 Ceuts ton for each 1000
mi e5 travelled in aoy th'p between
this and foreign countries. Mr.. Nc
Millin made very exhaustive end
able report. He stated that it would
cost $6,300,000 per snnum if the bill
were passed. The Uni'ei States does
IL per cent. of foreign shipping now,
whereas before the war il So did per
cent. There is a subsidy given by the
French Government neariy analogous
to Mr.. Negley's proposed bill. Re-
ports made by onr CoDsu in French
ports shows that this subsidy had not
accomplished the resu Is expected.
Mr.. McMiilin showed that the Ger
man Government, without subsidy,
had made more progress aud
been more prosperous in its ship
ping interests thsn the FIeI CHI Gov
eminent, who bad the subsidy.
Mr.. McMillin also ono ed letter from
the Secrt tary of State, addressed to
the President, on the subject of sub
sidiee, in which he showed that we
are now getting the benefit OF the sub
sides Of other nations, without hav-
ing to pay out Of the Treasury for it.
Contrary to expt GATORS, the French
had enriched the English ship build
ing interests at their expense by CIV
ing subsidies. The French had found
that they could better afford to buv
chips on the Clyde and get one ha ( |
the subsidy than buy in France and get !
it all. The report concludes with the |
statement that under our form Of gov.
eminent the best interests OF the PEG.
pie we're most surely subserved by |
protecting our citizens in their life,
liberty and pursuit Of happiness, and |
allowing them TO select and pursue
their voc alton without rich il fnencee,
and without increasing the prosperity |
and wea h OF one citizen at the ex-
pense Cf another.
