Our Mercantile Marine.

Evidently the shipping and s~hip-build-
ing capitalists have been given a-tip that
1t is their turn to receive a bride from
the Republican party. They have been
told to provide the necessary excuse in
the shape of a public agitation in favor
of subsidies.
They have engaged press agents, and
an eager effort is being made to work
the newspapers in behalf of the greedy
combination. Every week a large sheet
of arguments is sent out, Just as the
magazines furnish editors sheets for
easy puffery of their wares, and carte
blanche is given to indolent members of
the press to fill their columns with pleas
for Congressional liberality in behalf of
our suffering merchant marine. TIL
latest specimen of the press agents art
comes from Philadelphia in the shape of
an extensively printed series of resolu-
lions adopted by voyagers on the steam
ship ST. Paul. 1t is a handmade paper
affair, printed in red and black, with a
fine photogravure of the great ship at
Z its head. 1t is very interesting indeed
as an indication of the Doodle that is
backing the subsidy scheme
Now, we are as much in favor of build
ing up our merchant marine as any ship
builder in the lot. But we are heartily
and unalterably opposed to subsidies.
The recent war demonstrated to all inn
partial judges that the money paid the
American line under pretext of naval
reserve retainers was plainly money
spent for naught. The ships taken by
naval work, and plainly were more an
embarrassment han an aid to the navy,
being cumbersome, expensive and incapa-
BILE Of taking care of themselves.
The way to uild up our merchant ma
rine is to abolish our idiotic tariff and
our still more idiotic navigation laws.
Let investors buy their ships-for foreign
trade at least-where they can buy them
cheapest. Take off the burden of on
mage, harbor and consular fees and dues
which now tax our ships off the seas.
Throw open our ports to the commerce
of the world. BY these means we shall
soon restore our mercantile fleet to the.
proud position which it occupied before
4ba War of fhe Secession came with in
sanity of taxes and tariffs, its %restric-
lions and its projections, claiming and
curbing the natural genius of the Amer
lean people.
Just above we show that u National
revenues are netting a National deficit
at the rate of about s12O, 600, 600 a year.
To propose piling on top of this from
to provide work for a few ship-builders
and rolling mill corporations is a crime
the conception of which could only take
! place among the leaders of the Repub-
ncan party.
Knock off the prohibitfve taxes, the
u~npayable taxes. Give us tariff and taxes
for revenue only, and not only will our
accommodations of income burst the vaults
Of the Treasury in a year or two, but
also our will compel even that
of England to take second place upon
the seas.
