THE AMERICAN MERCHANT-MA.
RINE.

Whether congress passes the Payne
subsidy bill this session or not-and
there is now a much better prospect
that it will do so than there was while
back. It is certain that something will be
done to meet the demands Of the coun-
try for some form OF federal aid to
American shipping. No matter what
arguments may be presented to prove
that government aid through subsidies
or bounties is an unnatural and unwise
method for developing our merchant
marine in the foreign trade, the argu-
ments appear to be outwelghed by the
popular desire for a revival of the
shipbuilding in this country.
The national pride is also an element
of determining force in the discussion
of the proposed legislation. Even
though our foreign trade during the
fiscal year 1899 reached nearly two bill
billion dollars under the present sys-
TEN. there is a widespread belief that
more Of this trade should be carried in
ships built by American workmen and
flying the American flag.
1t is argued by the defenders of the
subsidy measure now before congress
that the 2OO,OOO,OOO which We pay an
nually into the hands OF foreign ma
tions for carrying our trade ON the
seas should be kept in this country a
good portion of it to be paid out to the
American shipbuilding crafts.
The discussion of the pending sub
sidy measures then largely turns upon
the question of what II the best method
for the government to adopt to en-
courage the building of an American
merchant marine. Discrimination du-
ties on cargoes Of foreign vessels or
on the tonnage Of foreign vessels are
regarded as an impracticable remedy,
as they would violate treaty provis-
ions, and hence would invite retalia-
tory measures in the carrying trade.
The same objection also applies to the
to grant bounties on ex-
ports in American vessels. The propo-
sition to grant American registry TO
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-02-17

foreign built vessels in the foreign trade,
is not regarded practicable for the re0-
son that the cost OF operating vessels
under the American flag is found to be
much greater than the cost Of operat-
ing foreign vessels.
This leaves the subsidy plan as the
only one that is likely to receive fav-
orable consideration at the hands OF
congress. Under the amended bill OF
Senator Frye the annual subsidies to
be granted are limited to SsOOO,oOo
which is not half so much as Is grant
ed every year to the improvement Of
rivers and creeks that cannot be locat-
cd on the maps. Deducting from this
the sum Of s1.5OOOOO, the present cost
Of carrying our ocean mails on Ameri-
can vessels, leaves the actual maxi
mum annual expenditures proposed by
the bill at s7,5O9,OOO. an amount so
small compared to the benefits that will
accrue TO the shipbuilding industry thar
it is not likely the opposition to gov
ernment subsidies can muster enough
strength to defeat the measure or some
modification OF IT,

General schoaelTs review OF the
South African war, published in the
telegraph columns this morning. is su-
perior as logical resume Of the situa-
tion to the contribution Of any foreign
military expert or critic so far pub
lished. 1t proves two facts Of especial
interest TO Americans. First. that we
have in this country a line Of army
officers who, both by theoretical mill
tary training and actual experience,
are the peers of those Of any country
in Continental Europe or in England.
Second, his observation, as has been
noticed in the writings Of the foremost
authorities published in the London
papers. iinds many analogies between
the experience Of both the Beers and
British in South Africa and the great
civil struggle which took place in this
country; marking that conflict, by al
most universal acceptance. as the
greatest war that occurred in the nine
teenth century. It was not until the
commencement Of the South African
campaign that the people Of this coun-
try realized the extent to which our
war had been studied and its lessons
impressed on the military training OF
Europe. In the citation Of precedents
and parallels no leading writer on
South Africa stops at any intermediate
conflict in Europe, Asia or Africa, but
by common consent. passing over even
the great Franco-Gsrman period, they
all refer to the battles and general
ship displayed in the American strug-
gle for explanation and Illustration of
the points in the present South African
SITUATION. FOR a nation whose corner
stone was laid in the principles of peace
and political equality, it is surprising
TO note TO what extent we have con-
tributed to the best military history.
Even our little affair with Spain will
be referred to for all time to come as
the first experience that marked the
epoch of the modern rapid-fre weapon,
while the marvellous scope and success
Of the naval side of our operations not
only furnished the first test of modern
naval armament and vessels, but will
be set down in all its accomplishments
a the greatest known up to its time
in AR naval history.

BRYAN's HINDsIGHT.

Mr.. Bryan shifts his position COM
pletely in promugating his new doc
trine of expansion. He says he is will
ing to accept territory contiguous or
remote provided the people who inhab-
it it are intelligent enough to form a
part of this republic and capable Of
having voice and a representation in
this government. But "the Filiplnos
are not such a people"
Now, that is very curious conclu-
sion to come from such source. Hith-
erto Mr.. Bryan has extolled the Fill
pinos. He has likened the insurgents
to our own fathers of the revolution
and has spoken Of their leader as II
he were a second Washington.
So impressed has he been by these
resemblances that he seldom talks Of
the rebellious Tagalos without invok-
ing the Declaration OF Independence in
their behalf. He thinks that 1t fits
their case exactly. They are fighting
US precisely as the colonlsts fought
George III, with thorough conception
Of the principles Of civil liberty and
self-government. They have thought
out the proposition that governments
derive their just powers from the con-
sert Of the governed, and confident Of
the righteousness Of their cause, refuse
to lay down their arms.
But all this implies an eptionally
high degree Of intelligence and politi-
cal insight. 1t is beyond the compre-
hension of the masses Of most civilized
states. Ninety per cent Of the people
Of Spain would not understand it, and
if the Filipinos are 50 remarkably gift
ed they are certainly qualified for the
full rights Of American citizenship.
But we believe that Mr.. Bryan is
nearer the truth in his revised estimate
Of the Filipino character than he was
in the original one. That also will be
the view Of those people who have been |
consistent expansionists from the be-
ginning and who have maintained that |
we accepted the oriental islands as a
trust for civilization. They are thus
much better friends of the natives than
the silver leader, who dismisses them
with contempt and scorn after months
Of adulatlon.
The change must give his followers
a queer turn, but after all It is easily
explained. He spoke first Of expansion

ton by state convention must run the
gaCntlet OF a popular vote, and in a
large majority Of the states the proof
Of corruption IN gaining nomination
would defeat the candidate before the
people Pennsylvania, with her strong
republican majority, has elected two
democratic governors In recent years,
not because the people wanted to vote
the democratic ticket, but because they
were opposed to the political domina-
ton and methods which nominated
the republican candidates Tor governor,
Under like circumstances the people
would have elected democratic senator's.

be elected by the people, and such an

ruption that now runs riot in American
politics. There is no pretense Of intel
ligeut, conservative care in the election
OF senators by legislatures. and it is a
notorious fact that many senators have
been elected by a legislature who could
not have been elected by q popular
vote, The senate is rapidly becoming
the rich mans club Of the nation, and
when it is remembered that it should
be the most intelligent and reliable
check upon governmental errors, the
chief purpose Of the creation is entire
ly lost sight Of by men Of fortune who
seek to crawl or climb to the highest
legislative honors Of the republic. The
people are the sovereign power Of the
state and nation, and they should be
empowered to choose their United
States senators by popular vote,
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-02-17

Four of the states Of the Union are
today without full representation in
The United States senate because of
the struggles of mean ambition in the
legislature, where corrupt methods
have become common in practice to
control the choice of the members Of
the first legisltive tribunal Of the ma
tion. In addition to the four vacant
seats, two admitted members Of the
senate have stood trial before commit
tees of the body charged with having
obtained their commissions unlawfully.
These scandals connected with the
choice of United States senator's are
not Of recent growth, nor are they pc
culiar to any section Of the country
There has not been a period during the
last half of a century that has been
free from grave charges Of the corrupt
control Of senatorial honors, and the
time has come when the senate should.
in justice to its own dignity, assent to
the election of United States senators
by the people. 1t is argued by those
who oppose an amendment to the con-
stitution providing for the choice of
senators by popular election, that it
would not end the corrupt control of
the choice of senators, as party con-
ventions would be corrupted instead of
legislatures to secure senatorial NOM
nations. The difference between cor
rupting legislature and a convention
in the choice of senator is very ma
terial. When Legislature has been cor
rupted to influence the election Of a
senator the senatorship is won, and
there is little chance of the dismissal
OF the senator for corruptly winning
