badly beaten. They had little chance to
pile up the runs, as the pitching of Sulh-

was very effective. Only two hits were
made by the Pioneers. and the bases
were few on errors. only one being

the sailor hats, and one cannot nave too
many. A combination that is very pretty
is light brown straw trimmed with large

ccunteracting this subsidy business, and
the question is, could it be done under the
provision above quoted? 1t says that If any
country shall pay bestow, directly or
indirectly, any bounty or grant upon the ex-
portation of any article or merchandise
from such country the duty on the arti-
Gle, when imported to the United States,
shall be increased to the net amount of
such bounty, however the same be paid or
bestowed Although this does not mention
ship subsidies the language is broad enough
to cover them if the government authorities
choose to so construe it. That is what
they should do, unless Congress provides
better way of obviating the injurious effect
of government subsidies on foreign ships.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-05-07
GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES ON
FOREIGN SHIPS.

Among the Senate amendments to the
tariff bill is the following:
That whenever any country. dependency
or colony shall pay or bestow, directly or
Indirectly any bounty grant upon the
expectation of any article or merchandise
from such country, dependency or colony,
and such article or merchandise is dutiable
under the provisions of this act, then on
the importation Of any such article or mef-
chandise into the United States, whether
the same shall be imported directly from
the country of production or otherwise and
whether such article or merchandise is inn
ported in the same condition as when eX-
ported from the country of production or
has been changed in condition by manu-
facture or otherwise. there shall be levied
and paid in all such cases, in addition 20
the duties otherwise imposed by this act,
an additional duty equal to the net amount
of such bounty or gain. however the same
be paid or bestowed.
This is correct in principle, and will af
ford a degree of protection to American
products; but there is one class of cases
which it does not clearly cover. The effect
of the provision is that if any country pays
"A bounty on the production or expectation
of a particular article the duty imposed on
the article by the United States shall be
increased by as much as the bounty paid
upon it. This would apply to the beet sugar
a bounty on it, and possibly to few 9TH
err products But there is a class of boun-
ties which it will not cover, except by
forced construction, and yet which are very
Injurious to American commerce and pro-
duction. These are subsidies paid to steam
ship lines There is ~carcely a govern
ment in Europe that does not pay it's ocean
steamship lines large sums annually for the
purpose of maintaining their ocean trade.
AS a result of these bountes foreign steam
ships are able TO make much lower freights
than American vessels which do not re-
ceive any subsidy, thus not only reducing
the cost of foreign goods laid down in the
American market, but enabling these for
eign steamships to do the carrying trade
of the United States cheaper than our own
vessels can. The effect of such a subsidy is
more injurious TO American interests than
a bounty paid for production eXporta-
ton, because, while the latter applies only
to a single product. the ship subsidies af
feet all by making lower freights for ALL
In fact, no other method of attacking and
ton is so dangerous and so effectual as that
of government subsidies To foreign vessels
The effect of this policy is to diminish the
production afforded by our tariff duties to
the extent of the cheap freights caused by
the subsidies, and, If the latter are made
large enough. our tariff can be entirely
nullified. Some way should be found OF

THE BOERs PREPARED FOR WAR.
Plain Statement of Their Case
Against England.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune
l. Van Alphen, postmaster general of the
South african republic, who is now in New
York as a delegate to the Universal Postal
Union congress to be held at Washington,
was seen at the Holland House yesterday
and asked about the present state of affairs
in the South African republic. The posi-
bilty of war between Great Britain and the
little Boer republic has recently been much
discussed, and the sending of British troops
to Cape Colony and British war ships TO
Delagoa bay has given d fresh impetus to
speculation on the subject
THE South African republic desires noth-
ing but the most friendly relations with
Great Britain, with whom we have a con-
vention by which Great Britain guarantees
the independence of the South African re-
public said Mr. Van Alphen. But since
the Jameson raid in December, 1885 we
from repetition of that affair, as well as
to repel uprisings of natives When | left
Pretoria several months ago three Iorts'
equipped with the latest modern lmple-
ments of war, were nearing completion, ana
we have imported cannon. guns and ammu-
milton. From English German and French
manufacturers we have also obtained
quantity of rifles. We must be prepared
for any emergency.
The whole standing army Of the republic
is four hundred artillerymen, but every citi-
zen is supposed to be soldier. Most or
the citizens are experts in the use of the
rifle. Such sports as cricket ana tootDall
are, of course common in the republic, put
one of the chief amusements in the country
districts is target practice. and, moreover.
the old people have had to live gun in hand
all their lives fighting wild beasts and saw
ages. In times of necessity, the command
ants in the districts call for their quota or
burgherS.
"OstensibIy. the reasons for the jameson
raid were that the Uitlanders had no polit-
ical and representative rights. But 1t is
my opinion that the promoters of this in
yasion were a combination of Johannes
burg inhabitants and some members or
the Chartered Company, which controls
Rhodesia, and their design was to influence
the share market and value of their prop
critics so as further to enrich themselves.
The government has always done every
thing in it's power to meet the requirements
of the mining population, and further con-
cessions were under consideration when L
left. A local committee in Johannesburg
had been elected which will see that the
English language is taught in the schools
where the English-speaking communities
predominate. Instead OF the former govern
ment commissioner that city, the people
there have now the privilege of electng
their own municipal officers, and a mayor
is appointed by the government. Notwith
standing the Uitlanders' complaint that
they have so far had no voting power, how
ever, few of them seem to care to avail
themselves of their right TO become citizens.
Out OF so, 900 in Johannesburg, only 1000 have
renounced allegiance to their native land
and have shfSpme citizens OF the South At
rican RepADlfc."
