BOUNTlES FOR FARMERS.

Senator Hansbrough has given notice
of his intention TO offer an amen iment
to Senator Hanna's ships bounty bill in
the interests of the farmers. Senator
Hans brough believes that if the policy
of fostering private business at the ex-
pense of the whole body of the people is
wise and Just it should not be limited in
its operations to the fostering of only
two or three private business interests,
but extended to all of them. His pro-
posed amendment provides for an export
bounty Of 81 per ton upon all agricul-
tural produce shipped abroad, the an
nual aggregate value of which is, he es-
Inmates, at from Sc 900, 900 to ST.
000.000,000
1t strikes the Philadelphia Ledger that
the logic of consistency is entirely favor
able to Senator Hansbrough's proposal.
The policy of granting government
bounties to render private business
profitable can be defeated only upon the
ground that its benefcent operations are
enjoyed in equal measure by all business
interests in common. If the ship build
ing and deep sea fishing industries are to
be made profitable, not by the ordinary
or legitimate earnings of the well-direct-
ed efforts, intelligence and enterprise of
those who conduct them, but by taxes
levied upon the entire country for their
benefit, why, Senator Hansbrough APP
parently argues, should not the agricul-
tural industry be made profitable in the
same way, by the taking of money from
the Federal treasury to foster them:
1t will be strange if the shallow sea
fishermen of the New England coast, in
Guiding all of those engaged in the TAX
ing of oysters and scallops, do not sooner
or lator demand from congress a bounty
similar to that demanded by those who
fish In deeper water. The Hanna bounty
bill proposes to give the owners of deep
sea fishing 81 ton, and to each member
of their crews 81 month during the
whole year, though they fish but quar-
ter of it and though two-thirds of them
are foreigners. If this class of fishermen
are to be supported from the treasury
why not the other class or classes OF
fishermen?
Senator Hansbroughs amendment is
not at all likely to become law. But the
fact remains that to render the policy OF
government bOunties fair they must be-
like taxes, uniform and neral.-Burl
