slr Thomss Susherland's ExPsrlsnce Re-
lated to Stock-holdefs-A HOST Seef-
ous and Onerous Loss to EnSland-
Steamship Company's Affairs

Sir Thomas Sutherland, president ct
the Peninsular and Oriental Steamship
company, in a recent report to Lis
stockholders. has contributed some au-'
thoritative information as to the ex-
tstence Of British steamship subsidies,
which the free-trade papers in this
country persist in claiming have no
existence in fact. We quote Sir
Thomas:
There is, I know, a section of the pub
lie who profess to believe that a subsi-
dy is paid to a mail company as sort
Of generous gift on the part Of the gov
eminent toward the proprietors of that
company; that it is paid without any
commensurate service being rendered !;
and that the company is able to live
and thrive merely on the strength of
being mail carrier and receiving a
mail subsidy. There can be no greater
delusion, il, indeed, that idea is really
seriously entertained in any quarter.
We have been paid during the last ten
The Globe-republican., 1896-08-06

and tumbling in long reverberatioD
down the embankment-cr1sh! crash!
I know not the time: I know not the
mode; but the days of our life are be-
ing subtracted away and We shall come
down to the time when We have but
ten days left, then nine days. then
eight days, then seven days. six days.
five days. four days. three days, two
days, one day. Then hours: three
hours. two hours, one hour. Then only
minutes left; five minutes. four min
utes. three minutes, two minutes. one
minute. Then only seconds left; four
seconds, three seconds. two seconds,
one second. Gone! The chapter OF life
ended! The book closed! The pulses
at rest! The feet through with the
journey! The hands closed from all
work. No word on the lips. No breath
in the nostrils. Hair combed back to
lie undisheveled by any human hands.
The muscles STILL The nerves still. The
lungs still. The tongue still. All still.
You might put the stethoscope to the
breast and hear no sound. You might
put speaking-trumpet to the ear, but
you could not wake the deafness. No
motion; no throb: no life. Still! still!
So death comes to the disciple! What
if the sun Of life is about to set? Jesus
is the day-spring from on high; the per-
petual morning of every ransomed
spirit. What if the darkness comes?
Jesus is the light of the world and of
heaven. What though this earthly
house does crumble! Jesus has pre-
pared a house of many mansions.
Jesus Is the anchor that always holds.
Jesus is the light that is never eclipsed.
Jesus is the fountain that is never ex-
hausted. Jesus is the evening star,
hung up amid the gloom OF the gath
ering night.
| You are almost through with the
abuse and backbiting Of enemies. They
will call you no more by evil names.
Your socd deeds will no longer be mis-
interpreted nor your honor filchcd The
troubles OF earth will end in tie felici-
ties, Toward evening, TIE bereaye-
| mentS or earth Will soon be lifted. You
will not much longer stand pouring
your grief in the tomb, like Rachel
weeping for her children or David
mourning for Absa,om. Broken hearts
bound up. Wounds healed. Tears
| wiped away. Sorrows terminated. No
more sounding of the dead march, To-
ward evening. Death Will come, sweet
as slumber to the eyelids of the babe,
as full rations TO starving soldier,
as evening hour to the exhausted work
man. The sky will take on its sunset
glow, every cloud fire-psalm, every
lake a CLASSY mirror; the forests trans.
figured; delicate mists climbing the air.
Your friends will announce it: your
pulses will beat it; your joys will ring
it; your lips will whisper it: Toward
evening""

steamshipping business are pointed out
by Sir Thomas Sutherland as follows:
who could possibly have imagined
that within these last ten years the
rates of freight would have fallen to
the miserable point at which we find
them to-day? Who could possibly have
imagined that silver would to-day be
worth little more than half what it was
worth ten years ago, thus involving
the operations of this country in a
most serious and onerous charge for
loss in exchange? And who is able to
say what may take place within the
next ten years."
We believe that the foreign mail
steamship companies honestly earn
every penny that is paid to them for
carrying mails We also believe that
American companies earn far more
than is paid them, and we want to see
these compensations equalized, or 1t
there is to be any advantage let 1t be
on the American side The difficulties
Of low freight rates and the deprecia-
ton In the value of silver that con-
front the p. and o. company are equal
~ pertinent as applied to the Pacific
Mail, Oceanic, Occidental and Oriental
lines that ply between the Pacific coast
and Australia, China and Japan. We
have the fact settled that subsidies are
paid to British steamships for mail
transportation, SO now let us get the
fact equally established that the rates
paid to American steamships for trans
porting American mails shall be ON as
liberal a scale.
The Globe-republican., 1896-08-06

years a very considerable sum Of
money, but in carrying out the service
involved, which has been paid for at
far lower rate than that given by for
eign governments for similar services
under their flags, the actual carrying
out of the contracts has involved an ex-
penditure by this company in ten years
Of something like $4,000. 900 or $20.-
000, 900 more than has been received
throughout the ten years from the
state"
ly, that there is at least one British
steamship company in actual receipt of
"a subsidy" from the British govern
ment. We hope this point will no long
er be denied by the free-traders. But
we never for a moment supposed, nor
do we know Of anybody else who sup
posed, that the British government, or
any other government, was paying sub
sides for nothing. OF course, there is
o measure Of return, and that consists
in the transportation of the mails.
But what We do claim. and always
have claimed, is that the subsidies paid
BY the British and other foreign gov
ernments to their respective steamship
companies carrying mail matter. have
been far larger than the miserable pit
tances doled out to American steam
ships performing similar services for
the American government.
The foreign mail steamers start on
their voyages with larger amount of
the expenses Of each trip guaranteed,
through the mail subsidy, than the
American steamships can secure. Our
lines are handicapped In their expense
account to the extent Of the difference
between the subsidies paid BY foreign
and American governments. Our lines
arc still further handicapped BY the
higher wages that are paid to American
onicers and crews Therefore the for
1ign mail steamers can AFFORD to carry
eruight at lower rates than American
stoamers, thus securing the business.
