sUBBSIDIES AND COMMERCIAL.
EXPANSION

lhe Postmaster General OF the
United States i'll Il speech at q Ba]ti.
more banquat recently, undertook to
generalize the necessity OF following
up our commercial expansion by the
development Of our merchant ma
rine.
-ln the prosecution OF the policy of
commercial expansion the next great
step is the development OF merchant
marine. III we would successfully
carry on the work upon which we
have entered, we must carry our pro-
ducts Ill our own ships. In these
later years we have been 80 absorbed
III our marvellous internal upbuilding
that W. have neglected the external
outlook until our own marine has de.
clined to the point where instead OF
carrying 30 per cent. it carries only
about 8 per cent OF our commerce."
This, according to- the Baltimore
News was said for the purpose of
booming the lianna-Payuc subsidy
till, for il liz ridiculous and pernicions
nonsense, to assume that unless our
| exports are carried III dOmastic bot
toms those exports will decline. The
proof that there will he no decline
appears from the fact TINT our carry
ing tradc has declined from % per
cent To . per cent since 1850. while
our exports have increased so cuor-
mously that the nations Of Europe
contemplate" taking some steps to re-
strict it as injurious to to their own
prosperity.
The New York journal of Com.
merce dcrides the subsidy measure as
one which will detail nothing but
losses, and cites the experience OF all
nations that have tried them to show
that subsidies Gre ineffective. Not
over ! per cent OF the British or Ger
| man steam tonnage receives money
from the government and in every
case the ships probably earn all they
get by speed and the frequency Of
sailings. France which has adopted
the universal bounty system now
pressed upon our government is com.
planning Of its absoiut" futility, and
proposes II second increase because
the Ere lch mercantile marine is not
even holding its own.
These experiences indicate ms tho
Journal says that il the United States
goes into the system Of subsidies, the
American vessels will have To have "a
constantly increasing amount OF sub
sides until the system gets too heavy
and breaks down.
We might call attention to the 9th.
er fact. that our trsatics with foreign
nations present an impasse To paying

It's 81 years since Fred Dorman and
his brother John Henry Dorman, aged
10 and 8 years respectfully were sent
by New York institution for orphans
in which they had been placed, Fred
to Michigan and his brother to Indi-
ana for adoption into families. Dur
ing all that time Fred had neither
seen nor heard from his brother and
did not know whether he was alive or
dead. Some time since he thought he
would try and trace him il possible.
He wrote the institution which had
sent them out, got the address of the
family that had taken his brother and
finally succeeded in locating him alive
and.well, and resident of the Hoosier
state yet. He is now here on a visit
and it is not TO be wondered at that the
two brothers required an introduction
to one another, when they first met
after a separation Of 81 years.

BALL CANE a TIE.
Contest Between Gilman and a
Picked.Up; Nine From This city
Resulte IN Tie.

Contest Between Gilman and 4
Plcked-Up Nine From This CITY
Results In Tie.
When darkness called halt upon the
Gilman Marshalltown base ball game
Saturday evening, at Finkle's Park. the
scorer found that neither side had won
and that the score was 20 for each side.
The bets. which were very heavy,
heavier. in fact, than on any game
played in this season this year, were all
declared or by the umpires and the
three hours contest was at close.
The Gilman team, which is composed
of transient employees Of the Gilman
Canning Company. and organized this
season after the work OF the factory
was complete. arrived in the city early.
Saturday afternoon. The game was not
called until $3.50 O'clock, and quite
good-sized crowd was present to see It,
T Marshall town's team was a picked-ups
affair, organized for the occasion out OF
the best Of the amateur players In the
city. The home team did not expect
do much with the visitors, for some
of them are old league people and very
handy when IT comes TO getting inter
ested In the national game, The pick
up team was not so slow, however, and
had good luck in placing its hits early
in the game so that at the close OF the
fifth inning the score stood 13Nto S In
favor of the home team. Elzte, in left
field, was then hurt in running to sec
ond, catching the cork Of his right shoe
on small stick and turning his ankle
IN such a manner as to tear away the,
ligaments. This retired him from the
game and Byrnes was substituted. The
giving out of Bruer In the box also
weakened the Marshalltown team, and
for the next three innings Gilman had
things much its own way. altho 1t was
really no ones game at any time after
the sixth inning. The lateness in the
start, and minor delays Of one kind and
another, made II impossible to finish thu
game. which was called at the end OF
the eighth inning. with the score a tie
30 to 90.
From an artistic standpoint there was
not much ball playing on either side,
but at the same time the excitement
over the game was intense thruout,3
Especially when the score became close
toward the latter part. The teams ap-
lpeared in the following order:
