Mr.. McAdoo, In the course OF his re-
marks yesterday on the Shipping bill.
spoke some very plain truths. He denied
the charge that the opponents of the

devotion to the flag. He i~nveighed
against the subsidy system. aud con-
tended that such asystem would not build
up American commerce.. The most singu-
lar definition Of he had ever
heard had been given upon the floor OF
this hall He had always understood
that was the interchange of
.commodies. Commerce would not be re-
-'painad by unfair reciprocityintended to de-
Jude the American people. The American

naffou nyaa nofnn RI oN4nunff ffaaff IN tho
policy OF subsidy IL should understand
what 1t meant. The subsidy proposed by
the Shipping bill was too much for moth
ing and too little for anything. 1t was
conceded that it cost forty per cent. more
10 run an American ship than 1t did to
run a foreign ship. Therefore il this ma

was his good or bad fortune not 10 be q
OF the next House, but he wanted
to say to the Eastern men, and he said IL
in no spirit OF dogmatism, that they could
not, in this Congress, vote a direct sub
sidy to one interest IN their section and
stand in the Fifty-second Congress and
refuse to subsidize the farmer by voting
against the Sub Treasury scheme. The
progress of subsidy could not be stopped
when that system was once entered upon.

now. IL was the duty of the Democrats
in the next Congress not TO enter upo
experimental laws, but to repeal, repeal,
repeal. aud take the lead of the Aineri-
can people.

Watterson letter. The Washington CORE
spondent OF the Baltimore sur has this
10 say In reference to it:-'If IL is a fact
that through some miscarriage of the
mails or otherwise, the letter failed to
reach Governor Hill at the period It was
written, the advice which IL contains is
as pertinent now as IL was when it was
penned. IL he has not the manuscript
letter. the Governor will do well TO cut
out the copy and paste itin his scrap
book. Henry Watterson wrote and sent

If we have developed an unexpected
capacity for the consumption or a largely
increased volume of this currency, and
even If we have demonstrated the useful
ness of such an increase, these conditions
fall far short OF insuring us against disas-
