A SUBSIDY WANTED.

The attempt in Congress to repeal the
steamship subsidy act viii derive support
from the policy of the Pacific Mail Com
pany. which, On this coast, is the chief bene-
hciary Of the measure. There are two
sides TO the main controversy, both Of which
are perfectly familiar to the public. On the
one hand it is commended that 4 subsidy is
an unfair fav0riZing of one industry at the
expense Of all others. On the other hand it
is claimed that a subsidy to steamships bene-
fits all industries by stimulating shipbuild-
ing and by opening new markets for raw
and manufactured products. OF course, If
ii can be shown that the recipients Of a sub
sidy do not labor to open new markets. but
in effect conduct their business as if the
subsidy is a mere reward for virtue, one of
the best reasons for granting it falls to the
ground.
1t is a fact. of which all merchants are
aware. that the freight schedule of the Pa
ciic Mail Company on the line between
Panama and San Francisco is such as not to
encourage but to repei traffic between this
port and the ports of Central America and
Mexico. Articles which could be exchanged
between the coast ports are charged for
transportation all that the traffic will bear.
Freights stop just at the point where higher
rates would stop shipments altogether.
And at all points where the Pacific Mail
steamers would naturally and ought to CON-
pete with the railroad its charges are SO
adjusted that the business goes by the land
route and not the water rOute-the steam
ship company recouping itself for the sacri-
fee by exactiDg a subsidy from the trans
continental roads.
1t is palpable that a corporation which
slT
gagged in developing maritime intercourse,
or In opening new markets for American
products. And whatever may be the true
course for the nation to pursue on the gen.
eral question of subsidies it is clear that
such a corporation has no claim on the
munifcence of the nation for any subsidy
at all.
There is magnificent chance for large
and lucrative maritime intercourse between
San Francisco and the nineteen points on
the coast at which the Pacific Mall steamers
touch between here and Panama. Almost
every enc Of the nineteen has a back coun-
try. in which coffee. sugar, cocoa and
tropical fruits can be grown; the inhab-
tants Of all of them are prepared tostake
from us -four, beef, furniture, boots and
shoes, kerosene oil. WOODEN goods, hardware
and machinery. The only reason why the
exchange is not active is that the Pacific
Mail Company controls transportation, and
makes rates which leave no profit to the
shiDpersfrom either end. If it were out Of
the way, a modest subsidy would lead to the
establishment Of line or lines that would
develop all these southern ports, and might
double the foreign trade of this port. But
nothing can be done with the Pacific Mail,
controlled. as it is. by the transcontinental
yaiIrna,Ig

THE LEOPARD AND BIS SPOTS.

The London Times continues, through i.s
South American correspondents, the work
Of misrepresentation it commenced during
the civil war in Chile. Correspondence
from Bueno5 Ayres now states that the
United States has made some kind Of a re-
ciprocity treaty with the Argentine Repub-
lie by which the United States promises the
South American republic protection in case
the republic becomes involved on boundary
questions with Chile, and also protection
against foreign interference In case the re-
public attempts to cancel her European
obligations. 1t is further represented that
Brazil repents Of the treaty it made with the
United States. The old British assertion is
repeated that the treaty was obtained by
false promises which have never been full
hlled, and the intlmatlon Is now thrown out
that the United States is inclined to throw
over Brazil for Argentine. Some months ago
local journal asserted that Brazil had been
induced to ratify the reciprocity treaty with
the United States by representations on the
part of ar. Blaine that similar treaties
would not be made with other countries.
The utter impossibiIity Of Mr. Blaine having
made such represeBtation is shown by the
fact that the law which authorized reciproc
ity provided that similar treaties should be
offered other countries producing coffee,
sugar, hides and tea. Mr. Blaine certainly
would not have made representations In
direct conflict with the law which gave him
authority TO act. There is an unpleasant
suggestion In this London Times correspond
ence that President Harrison and Secretary
Blaine will stoop to any method. however
dishonorable, to further purpose. Mean
time, the affection of the people of the two
countries is supposed to become warmer
from day TO day.

Sheehy's appointment as Receiver Re
yokcd.
Presiding Judge Trout revoked yester-
day the order of Judge Lawler appointing
j. Il. Sheehy receiver of the partnership
property Of Newman X LeVins0n, and the
defendants. the surviving partners, have
been ordered to appear to-day before Judge
Hebbard and show cause why 4 receiver
should not be appointed in accordance with
the prayer of the complaint of the admins
traitor OF the estate OF John LevinsOn. The
receiver took charge at O'Clock on Wednes-
day evening aud was discharged from office
at noon yesterday.
The revocation was made on the affidavit
OF Benjamin Newman denying that the ex-
ecut0r has been excluded from examining
the books OF the firm or that any fraudulent
representations regarding the assets or in
deOtedness OF the firm have been made, but
affirming that under the articles OF partner
ship the surviving partners had the right 10
elect to continue The business OF the firm
after the death Of LevnSoa and did so elect.
On such election the appralsement was
made and the sum paid TO the executor, but
subsequently controversy arose as 10
whether the good will had been included in
the appraiSemeDt. Said controversy is the
only matter Of dispute between the exeeu-
tor and the surviving partners. but this
value OF the good viii, they say, they are
willing 70 pay If it be determined after It'll
CATION that they should.
The receiver was appointed on Wednes-
day without notice, and while the complaint
alleges that the good will is worth $3.50, 600,
yet only a bond of $1,000 was exacted.
Judge LAWYER, who made the order, was
sick and confined TO his bed when he issued
1t and may not be able TO hold court for
some time. Tie value OF the good will is
undetermined, but as given in the complaint
Is pIepOSterous, declares the mffiant.

taxation is their ultimate purpose. They
propose, however, TO reach 1t through sue

finally free trade. kentucky Democrat
made an attack upon the protective system
on the ground that under it trusts and COM
binatioDs spring up. The Kentucky Demo-
crat might as well object to government on
the ground that under government trusts
and combinations spring IN. The trust in
this country which has ruined more men
and made more money for lis managers
than any other is the Standard Oil comb!-
nation. The methods of that combination
from the beginning have been corrupt and
merciless 1t crushed small oil Tehneries
and bribed railroad managers to give 1t
especial rates. Its management was able
but Infamous. 1t proceeded on the princi-
pie that it was right to DO whatever it could
do. 1t not only corrupted railroad officials.
but used its power to influence courts. 1t
was, in fact, mechanism without con-
science. But the product of which that
trust secured a monopoly was on the free
list. The protective policy lent it no aid
The real secret of its success was its ability
to move its product at less cost than its COM
petitors. The sugar trust is perhaps the
next In respect 10 wealth aud compactneSs
OF organization. But its product Is also on
the fIea list. except a very light duty on
high grades OF sugar. The Kentucky states
man is quite right in his denuGciation of
trusts, but wrong in assuming that they are,
In any especial sense, fostered by the pro-
tective policy.

AMERICAN INGENUITY.

The Manner I'm Which Cordwood Is
Sawed Into Stove Lengths.
The idea of the American inventor Is to
devise something that will enable man TO
perform his work in the most expeditions
manner with the least possible amount Of
physical eXertiun The truth of this may
DE observed by any one who viii watch the
manner in which cUrdwood is cut into stove
lengths at any Of the woodyards in the
southern part Of the city. Time was when
frewo0d was sawed into lengths by men
with bucksaw, and he was good work
man who could in day saw two cords Of
oak or even red wood. Then the next step
In the business was the saving of this class
OF wood by means OF a circular saw. The
cut pieces were allowed to fall to the floor
and form into heaps around the sawyer's
bench. to remain there until removed by
men who were forced 10 st00p all day In
their work. Then came an inventive genius
who added something TO the sawyer's bench
which not only does away with the neces-
sity of STOPPING for the cut pieces but 1t
helps TO load wagon with the wood. 1t
consists of hinged chute affixed to the
sawycT's bench. the free end of which is
raised or lowered by means OF a rope and
pulley. Within tile chute is an end
less chain carrying at fixed points
small croSsbars. The cordwood is loaded
on special truck with stakes at each end,
which holds half cord of wood; this is
hauled TO the front aud right of the sawyer,
whose circular saw Is run by small donkey
engine, which also moves the endless chain
in the chute. The sawyer takes the sticks
from the truck at his side, places one after
| another on the frame before him, and in a
twinkling each is sawed into two or three
lengths. The sawed pieces one after an
other fall into the chute, which has been
raised or lowered TO the height of a wagon
backed up TO 1t and into which the wood is
to be loaded. In the wagon stand two men
who receive the pieces as they are carried
along by the chain, and they come along so
quickly that the men have just about all
they can do to attend to the supply and
arrange the pieces in the wagon. As soon
as one truckload is cut another takes Its
place, and when a wagon is loaded it is
driven away to allow another to receive a
load.
