IS 1T EXPEDIENT:

The much praised amendments to the,
Payne-Fryc subsidy bill have not i'm
proved it, but rather made it worse.
AS the bill stood in its original form,
the International company's fast steam
er St. Louis, of Il, 629 tons registered ton
mage in order to receive its normal SUBJ
sidy of $25.50O for each round trip, would
have to carry 1854 tons OF cargo. This
would give it a subsidy of 81 per ton for
each ton of american exports taken.
The amendment directs that such steam
ers shall receives full subsidy even when
carrying cargo to only half of their cargo
capacity. This means, as to the st. Louis.
that even when carrying export cargo of
less thar 1850 tons, it may still draw the
full subsidy Of s25.5Oo for the trip. or over
ST. for each ton of exports.
In this manner. a steamer like ;he St.
Louis would receive some S4G9, coo a year
for carrying less than $1,000 tons Of ex-
ports. In ten or twelve years this would
equal the entire cost of the vessel. The
extravaganza of such proposition needs
no comment.
But this Is only ore OF the two main
features OF the bill. and the other one
is different. Nearly all European coun-
tries give subsidies, more or less The

A NOTE OF WARNING.

We have already had a taste of what
the country may safely look for in our
new possessions unless the utmost care
and ctrcumspeetion is taken in the selec-
ton OF the men who will be charged with
the administration OF Their affairs.
Thanks to the freedom of army men
from all faint of corruption in the CON
duct of civil interests, the first known
attempt to abuse the opportunities which
official position brings with it has been.
exposed, and another scandal greater
even than that which made American
ears tingie In connection with the run
! ming of things in Cuba, has been ayerted.
The party in power in national affairs
has undisputed control No one doubts
the readiness Of the active and infuen-
tial politicians of that party to avail
| themselves of every opportunity which
presents itself to coin money from the
| corrupt use of official KNOWLEDGE and
privilege. 1t will not be long, in any
event before the civil administration of
the islands formerly owned by Spain is
turned over completely to the politicians
of the administration. Meanwhile abso-
lutely nothing is being done to assure the
honest and upright performance of the
| grave duties which will devolve upon
| those who will conduct their government
pending the establishment of represent
alive forms.

tive of the United States in the Philip
! pines to engage in the attempted perpetu-
| alton of a huge fraud on this govern
ment, as well as on the people of the
| Islands, by the dishonest acquisition of
! large mining concessions shows one of
the directions in which the Filipinos are
likely to be robbed and the American
people disgraced by the representatives
of the spoils system in Office in the new
possessions.
The Civil Service society a few days
ago called public attention to the truth
that the present administration has viz
| tually chosen to wholly ignore the re-
quirements of the law in the appoint
ments to federal office Men are now
being chosen to many offices which are
supposed to be under the operation of the
civil service rules who have no claim
whatever to recognition except their
services as retainers and followers of
bigger and more powerful politicians
than themselves. Applying the same
rule of selection to the officials of the
Philippines and Porto Rico, how long
will it be before the good name of the
American people will be Kissing and a
by-word with foreign people, and our
rule made infamous. as well as burden
some to those toward whom we now
choose to occupy the relation of guar
| dams and providential protectors?
The concern of the American people
is no longer with the military aspect Of
things in the Philippines. The civil con-

their attention entirely. Let congress

Transportation company, a subsidy Of
$12s,00o year. Such. steamer carries
on each trip from 5000 to 5000 tons of ex-
ports, mainly farm products. The next
question is whether such a subsidy is
necessary and expedient. -
Can our ships compete with foreign
ships? Coal and iron are cheaper here
than in England or Germany, while la
Dor is hiraer; but, all in all, ships can be
built in this country at least as cheaply
as anywhere else. It does. however,
cost more to man and run ship under
the American flag because of higher
wages, and, even where European sailors
are employed on American ships, they
insist on American wages This, as
brought out in the congressional de-
bates, makes the running expenses of an
American from 10 to so per cent higher
than those of a European ship.
ship subsidy, like protective tariff,
is expedient only when a temporary as
sistence will put the home industry on
its feet and enable it ever after to stand
by itself without further aid. Even
when we can produce an article just as
eheaply here as to import it, the foreign
manufacturer may still have=a grip on
the market against which the native
manufactures can only start in with
great difficulty. Under such conditions
even the conscientious free trader may
make concession and admit that q
temporary protection would give the
home industry start that would have
otherwise been greatly retarded. Per-
petual government pap for our shipping
interests would be as intensely objec-
tiGnable as in the case of other indus
tries
Ships can now be built as eheaply in
this country as anywhere, and cheaper
by and by Wages in America and in
Northwestern Europe are being equalized
more and more every year, and it is safe
to say that i'm ten Or twenty years it
will be possible to man and run Ameri-
can ships just as cheaply as those of
England and Germany.
It will be seen then that our shipping
is just in that condition where tenn
porary assistance wisely applied will Sc
cure for it rapid and successful devel-
opment. Even without this aid the de-
yelopment will certainly come, but it will
be retarded, and in the meantime, this
country is a constant and heavy loser.

Labor Needs a Trust.

Eyeleth Leader
The recent marked reduction In wages
oHefed by lumbermen Gomez as a light
ming bolt from a clear sky. A drop from
$50 to $l' per month seems rather more
than the existing conditions would war
rant. 1t is stated that the log cut will
be greatly curtailed this season, but the
reasons therefor are difficult to find. The
price of lumber is high, as is also the
price Of stumpage, and just why lum-
permen are not anxious to cut large
amounts seems exceedingly strange. La
oorers seem much dissatisfied with the
reduction of wages, and are making a
stand for a higher scale. Whether or
not they will be able to hold out long
enough however to have any material
effect in that direction is doubtful. and
the probabilities are lumbermen will
be able TO procure all the hep they
need at the pr.ce offered
