Assisting Immigration.

The ship subsidy bill that is now
pending Is perniciOus in more ways
than one. The highest subsidies this
bill, as amended, provides for are to be
paid to swift steamers. American farm
products 60 by slow steamers, but i'm
migrants come by fast steamers.
The Standard Oil ships that float
the American flag reserve almost as
much space for immigrants as for car
90, and draw subsidy on this space at
a figure double that paid the freight
ers. Three of these ships last year
brought in 11,341 steerage passengers,
and this year the numbers are much
larger, and the foreign-built ships of
the same company brought in over
2LOOO more.
If this iITpasses, there viii be twice
as much subsidy paid to ships en-
pioyed in bringing hither immigrants
to glut the labor market as will be paid
ships which carry American farm po-
ducts to foreign markets. This is
what the republicans call stimulating
American exports. Inc American Ia
borer will have TO take himself out of
