SHIP SUBSIDY NO ASSISTANCE TO
AGRICULTURE.

Bulk of Subsidy VIII Go to Passen-
ger Ships, Which Carry but Little
Cargo and Practically No Farm
Products.
The Fitzgerald minority report from
the house committee on merchant ma
rine shows conclusivelys that as the
subsidy bill is drawn it cannot be ex-
pected to reduce freight rates on farm
products. :.
Not only are the rates Of subsidy
twice as high for swift passenger
steamers as for ordinary freighters,
but, as it appears from an examination
of the amounts of subsidy which would
go to the various steamships and lines,
the passenger steamers, at least for the
first few years, would get considerably
more than half of all the subsidy given,
and yet the passenger steamers do not
carry more' than about 10 per cent OF
our total exports and less than per
cent of our agricultural exports.
A careful examination Of the mani
tests Of passenger and freight steamers
makes this statement apparent and
leads to the further conclusion that the
swift passenger steamers carry mainly
high class of freight composed
largely Of manufactured goods ex.
ported at prices considerably below
those charged to American consumers.

THE WORTH OF IOWA SOIL.

Iowa real estate has always been good
stuff, and it is getting better all the
time. Years ago, when an unlimited
western country was awaiting develop
ment, Iowa lands almost stood still as
to value, but of course there came a day
when good land west could not be had
for song and the tide of immigration
could not set in through and around
Iowa, but was obliged to settle here.
With more buyers prices began to rise.
To-day land is selling from $40 to $100
per acre, while the same ten years ago
could have been bought for half that
amount. What are the probabilities in
land value when we think that some
day there will be ten people who want
laud where there is one now? And then
land is the only substance to exchange
which cannot be increased. There is
Just as much now and there will be no
more ina thousand years. With the
increasesof population the land values
are hound to- iise, to- what heights ot

pons. Even to-day, and right in Iowa,
the farmer seems to be the cream of the
land. They have the wealth and stabil.

many because Of the isolation it brings

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.
The Disease More Prevalent than
Ever and Quite as Fatal.
The Best Treatment.

The grip has surprised the doctors
and health authorities this season by
it's rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody it
is proving especially dangerous to mid.
die aged and elderly persons. In many
cases either a fatal onset Of pneumonia,
or complete breakdown OF health and
strength, is apt to follow an attack of
grip.
The wise course for all is prevention.
By wearing Benson's Porous Plaster
on the chest and back you protect the
lungs from cold and chill and with
ordinary carel you are safe from grip.
For those who are already suffering
from grip, or from the usual winter
coughs and colds, Benson's Plasters are
a sure and speedy reliet and cure. High
ly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.
Only the genuine are effective. Exam

THE PASSING OF HANNA.
ROYAL eAxlNo POWDER CO., NEW YORK.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Chronicle gives pen picture
of the national republican boss, whose
power is now on the toboggan slide,
saying:
Senator Hanna's limp is becoming
more painful and more labored as the
winter proceeds. He finds it difficult
now to take single step from lower
to higher level. He boards the street
cars with an effort that is apparent in
the hard lines Of his face. The SENATOR g
health is not being improved by ihe
strain Of his fight upon his ship subsidy
grab. He went into the battle with
absolute assurance. He believed that
no combination of circumstances could
arise to defeat this grab.
GAS long ago as last August he or his
friends assured the lobby that framed
the bill calling for the payment of $27O,.
O00. 900 during period of thirty years
to certain favored corporations that il
would surely become a law If McKinley
were reelected. This lip reached Wall
street and Pacific Mail afuck advanced

quarters were all aboard.
"Hanna has been working night and
day with zeal only equaled by his la.
bors in the two last national campaigns
to deliver the goods 10 Rockefeller and
Morgan and Griscom and the rest of the
millionaire grabbers. He appears to
feel that his word and his good faith are
involved and he will neither acknow.
ledge defeat or possibility of defeat;
nevertheless he is licked so badly tina,
there is not even a remote hope that be
can get even vote during the last
twenty minutes Of the expiring session
when there would be no chance for the
bill to be engrossed and taken to the
house to be passed there.''

sub.idie. to the Favored Few.

The provision for paying subsidies to
foreign built ships is in itself contrary
to the avowed purpose Of the measure.
1t is utterly in conflict with every idea
ever put forward by the advocates Of
subsidies for American shipbuilding
Nevertheless, IL subsidies were given
to ships bought abroad by any and all
Americans, say, for the next 20 years,
on the sole condition that an equal
number of ships of the same kind
should be built in America, It is con-
ceivable that thiskyvould ada cUnstdera-
ably to the number of ships owned by
Americans and to the number built
here. That Is not what this bill does.
1t gives subsidies only to the ships
built or contracted for prior to the LIST
Of January, 1900. For what reason
such peculiar and valuable privileges
should be directly conferred on any
class we do not know, nor have we
seen any rational explanation Of it by
the advocates Of the plan in congress.
1t is easy enough to understand how it
was proposed by the gentlemen who
would reap the profit, but how any re.
sponsible man in public life could al
low himself to be implicated in so
transparent a prostitution Of the pub
lie authority for private gain passes
our comprehension.
We believe that this feature Of tie
bill will produce It's defeat. Weldo not
think that congress wils have the hardi-
hood TO resist tie strong public opinion
that las sprung up since the true ma
ture of the bill has been made known.
But IL the scheme should, by the means
open to the wealthy corporations inter-
ested in It, be pressed through con-
gress, we shall hope that the president
will veto it. 1t is a shameless attempt
to pervert the principle Of protection
to American industry to which he has
lent the force Of his advocacy, and to
loot the treasury for private interests.
AS true friend to an American mer-
camille marine, he should kill it.-New
York Times.

Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1901-11-16

Within the precincts Of quaint old
Bardstown Is situated one Of the old
est Catholic church buildings in Ken
lucky. 1t was the first cathedral west
OF the Allegheny mountains and Is
magnificent structure and Is the only
house of worship in America that
boasts a bell presented by royalty. The
interior in the magnifcence OF Its ap-
continents is not excelled by any
church in the south. 1t contains rare
paintings by the cd masters, one alone
the altar piece--being valued at $loo,-
900. This magnificent work Of art is
the production of Antwerp artist. Van
Bre. 1t depicts the crucifixion and is
pronounced by cOnnoisseurs to be the
most splendid work Of it's class in the
world. 1t is 81 feet in height and IL
feet in width, and was presented to
Father Flaget, the first bishop OF Ken
lucky, by Louis Philippe. King Of
France. Another rare painting-now
worth its weight in gold-is THE Mar
tyrdom OF st. Bartholomew" by Van
Dyke. This picture is catalogued in
the list Of the great artists produc-
ton and its present location is also
noted The numerous smaller paint
lngs which the church contains were
donations from the King Of Italy.
But the most interesting feature of
the old church is its bell. This, too.
was a gift from Louis Philippe. When
that unfortunate monarch was driven
from his throne in France he fled to
Bardstown and sought the hospitality

days with some gaudy piece of EN-
broidery, provided, of course, that the
birthdays happened to fall at good

Poor as she was, she was not with
