Ship Subsidy Bill.

In presenting the Ship Subsidy bill to the
Senate on Tuesday-the bill which is to take
out of the treasury 100000 year and put
it in the pockets of few ship-owners as a
gratuity for operating their ships-Senator
Frey laid great stress upon the fact that only
nine per cent, of our foreign trade is carried
in American bottoms. This is true, but why
is it true? Simply because protective tariff
so increases the price of materials entering
into shipbuilding that our shipbuilders cannot
construct vessels as cheaply as foreign ship
builders, and under our laws citizen OF the
United States cannot buy foreign built ship
and have it registered in this country. lie

document that few persons read it except
newspaper editors and politicians. And the
people who read the newspapers would have
found little new in it if they had read it.
The message is mostly review of our foreign
