land antagonism increased rather than
diminished. From the objection that
the bill favored the Atlantic at the ex-

Later developments. however, seem to
point TO another and much more prob
able elucidation Of the mystery, The
subsidy bill, as Is well known, Is
designed TO stimulate the construction
OF steamers rather than sailing vessels,
The aid extended. too. is graded upon
the basis Of tonna se-tendlng thus TO
encourage large vessels-and speed,
thus placing a direct premium on deep
sea vessels over any other class OF
craft, and favoring steam, rather than
sailing ships. Here We have the most
plausible explanation Of The Oregon
ians unique distinction Of being the
only important paper in the country
fighting the subsidy bin, and it is
clearing up Of that vexed problem, We
are happy to say. which tends rather to
the credit than discredit Of that papers
and discrimination. Port
land cannot hope to share in traffic
which employs steam vessels OF large !
tonnage, and consequently opposes any
which would operate to in |
crease their employment or construc-
tion on the Pacific coast.

is more than one-quarter Of the entire
area Of Asia. Stretching from the Ural
mountains 10 the Pacific ocean, It cov-

SUBSIDY BILL WILL BENEFIT
PRODUCERS.
Tacoma Ledger.

/ Tacoma Ledger.
The Oregon farmer is paying to II
cents per bushel more to the shipowneI
than he paid a few years ago, when
he had less freight TO ship; but under
the same conditions, with a subsidy
he would still be paying the same rate
and an additional tax with which to
provide the subsidy-Portland Ore
gonian.
No doubt under the same condi-
lions" the farmer would be paying the
same rate. plus mis- share Of the tax.
However, the same conditions would
not obtain if the subsidy bill becomes
a law. The oregonian points out that
ocean freights on the Pacific coast have
reached the highest point for twelve
years and as a consequence farmers
are compelled TO pay higher freight
rates, really to sell their wheat at that
much lower prices. There is no doubt
that this prosperity Of the shipowner
is working a hardship upon the farm
ers." but advocates of a subsidy bill
are not using the fact as an argument
in favor Of still further taxing the pro-
ducer."
1t is admitted that the present high
freight rates are the result Of scar
city Of tonnage The British govern
ment has taken more than a million
tons Of merchant steamers for govern
ment service; the United States has
taken from the merchant service a
large amount OF tonnage, and these,
with the enlarged nitrate trade and the
large increase in general merchandise,
has made a scarcity Of vessels with
the natural result Of increasing rates
The oregonian argues that as every
freight carrier is making money, ship
yards will continue building ships, and
alleges that all the subsidies that could
be piled up for owners would not re-
duce freights one shilling 80 long as
the supply Of freight exceeded that Of
tonnage"
1t is evident that some action is nee
essary In order to benefit farmers and
shippers, to increase the supply Of ton
mage. and that is the object Of the sub
sidy dill, to increase American tonnage.
That Is just what the subsidy bill is
intended TO do and would do. 1t would
increase the number of American ship
yards as well as Of American
ships, and the increased tonnage would
have the effect Of reducing freight
rates to farmers and other producers
and shippers sufficiently to pay their
share Of the increased tax hundreds
of times over.
The American Association Of Manu-
facturers, who. next to the farmers, are
most Interested in low freight rates
on exports. are heartily in favor Of the
passage Of the subsidy bill, from the
belief, no doubt, that it would be Of
benefit to them in the way Of reducing
freights They assert that the manu-
facturers Of the United States want
quicker cheaper and more regular
transportation to many foreign mar
kets. which they now reach only by
