AN exchange devotes a column in tell
ing how to live long. 1t was Davy
Crockett, we believe, who said the way
to be happy-and happiness is conducive
to longevity is ''to hate snakes, love
the ladies and vote the democratic
ticket" In this connection it may be
said that democrats are very long lived;
they are fast increasing all wei the
country. The way to long live is point
ed out in this fact.

NO BOUNTY PAID.

Very many people are under the I'M
preston that England pays bounties on
subsidies to her ship owners and that by
these means she maintains her com
mercial supremacy. Republican journals
and speakers make use of this argument
in support Of ~extravagant subsidies to
our own ship builders. There is no
foundation in fact for the assertion. A
statement recently made by a member of
the British parliament of the amount
paid annually by the British government
for carrying mails between the United
Kingdom and foreign counties, shows
the falsity of the argument. The Min
neapolis Times has arrived at the bottom
facts in this matter and in a recent
article thus disposes of it:
1t appears that all payments for the
carriage of mails by ships are called by
the English Subsidies" and the whole
amount paid for the purpose is less than
Sl,00O,OOO. This included S55O,OOO for
mails for this country, 1880 for mails
between Liverpool and Callao, and other
sums for mails to and from other points
in foreign counties. These are simply
payments for work done, not bonuses to
encourage ship-building or stimulate
trades-n not subsidies as Americans pu-
derstand the word subsidy" The
amount paid to the Atlantic steamers
coming to New York is paid by scale for
actual service rendered, in the same way
that the United States has always paid
for the carrying of mails.
But less than 10 per cent of British
shipping get mail contracts, SO that it is
apparent the growth of the vast marine
of England is not due to bounties. as our
subsidy advocates have commended with
such success. AS stated the British gov
eminent pays less than Si,OOO,OOO for car
rying mails between its own country and
foreign nations, but it pays nearly
S3.OO0,00O for the transportation of mail
matter with its own colonies anl de-
p ndencies, just - t.'s -. i,a'H7
pays for the carriage o. mai,s in this
country. The testimony upon the point
Is plain as words can make
it. IF confirmation were needed
it would be found in the letter of Consul
General New, who is stationed in Lon
don, to the department of state. Mr..
New is a prominent Indiana republican
who was appointed to his Office by
President Harrison. In his communica-
ton he says mo subsidies are paid by
the British government-using, of course,
the word Subsidies in the American
sense of the word.
Commenting upon these facts the
Times concludes it's article with
the remark: "As tb0 h;llion-dollar
congress pass" : ~suJ&'.' bill on the
representation that England s~ustains her
her foreign trade by subsidies, it is clear
that our present subsidy law rests on a
false foundation and should be repealed.
Its true basis was that of protection" to
American shipbuilding and shipowning
capitalists. They thought they should
have their whack, and, as it could not
be COTTON by a tariff rate it was secured
by a system of bounties. The tariff
ashore was balanced by a subsidy a~fioat."

"As a whole" says a republican con
temporary, "the returns of the 3rd inst.

A party that is knocked down and

as solid as the rock Of ages for it, ought
to feel cheerful. Men are known to sing
and shout when about to be hanged.
