1t Is clear enough TO the open eyed and omen
minded observer of the irresistible expansion of
New-York commerce that many a costly pier.
many spacious dock. many a wide and long
approach must be made ready within a few
years each side of the North River and the
East River. This stately and majestic mort

How grateful our British friends should be to
kind hearted Americans who generously consent
to instruct them to the methods which they
must adopt to hold their own in the great
struggle for industrial supremacy especially In
steel and iron! The forge masters of the New
World have achieved such notable triumphs
that English owners of furnaces and mills are
almost ready to sit at their feet and learn wis
dom from their lips.

Ship Subsidy a sham,

A strenuous effort is being made to
bring to the support Of Mr.. Hanna's
pet measure offsubsidizing ostensibly
our entire merchant marine, although
In reality only Il small portion$of 1t,
that sentiment In favor Of protective
tariff laws which has so long swayed
our governmental policy. But it is
not alone among the ranks Of those
who are opposed to high tariffs or who
advocate their abolition entirely that
opposition to ship subsidies exists, for
even among the stanchest protection
lists there are many who fail to see
Why steamship company should
be paid by the government for run.
ming a ship any more than individ.
uals should be paid for building houses
or raising wheat. The whole argument
in favor of protection Is assumedly
based on the idea that the fostering Of
certain classes of industries will stimu-
late the development of others, and 1t
Is quite possible to design ship subsidy
schemes which will, ostensibly at least.
work on this theory.
In order to do this, however, 1t is
scarcely necessary to point out that
whatever bonus there may be must be
earned by increasing the facilities for
carrying goods and passengers, prefer
ably the former, in the largest quanti-
ties possible. Yet in the face of this
the measure now pending in the senate
offers no inducement to the carriers to
cater to increased trade, for 1t is so
drawn that the subsidy which vessels
would earn is practically irrespective
OF the cargoes that they carry. AS the
minority report again points out, "ad-
mitting that the public may gain some-
thing by the voyage of ship which
carries out full cargo of American
products, no one will claim that the
public gains anything If the ship car
ries no cargo" Yet it is exactly this
contingency for which the bill artfully
provides. Not content with carefully
safeguarding the interests of the favor
ed corporations in whose special behalf
1T has been prepared against loss of
all their subsidy in case they should by
bad luck fail tosaave response made
by shippers to such facilities as they
may offer, in effect it insures them
against any loss OF subsidy, no matter
how total may be the absence of de-
mand for these facilities, which de-
mand alone could be an adequate pub
lie excuse for assisting the vessel lines.
Little wonder then that SO MANY
stanch Republican protectionisis, should
repudiate the effort to make this pisoe
of legislative favoritism the first fruits
of an election won by marshaling of
the hosts in support of sound currency.

MUST THE PHILIPPINE WAR 90 ON

We have been mistaken in The Fill.
pino. He is not an ignorant, passionate
savage who can be either frightened or
whipped into submission while there re-
mains to him chance to fight for his
native land. The Filipinos have been
fighting lis twice as long as the Beers
have been fighting England, and Eng.
lands prospect Of soon flashing her
task is much better than ours. The
Filipino is !; man wi, h a cause for which
he is willin, to ,ie. He may be weary
o. the war, hn, he has made the Ameri-
Gun people weary of it, too. AS he has
incomparabiy more al stake in the strug-
gle Than we have, il is 10 be expected
that his stubbornness will continue to
be disheartening to the Jingoes.
1t is war from which this great ma.
ton can reap no glory, even were COM
plete success assured, and the profit of
the enterprise is not perceptible. The
American republic can afford to do what
is best for itself, materially and morally,
even though that should involve the
freedom of the Filipinos. The demo-
Gratis were quite right in their campaign
contention that the attempt to rule the
Filipinos Without their consent and in
spite of their fierce and sanguipary pro-
test, does violence to the letter and
spirit of the declaration of independence.
Had '.lmperialism" been the only issue,
Bryan, and not Mckinley, would to-day
be president, for there are millions of
republicans who agree with the defeat
ell rather than the successful candida te
on this question.
To the North American it would seem
wise were President Mckinley not to ig-
more the significance of the marked
falling off Of the party vote in the old
surely republican states where "imper-
ialism' was most discussed. 1t would
be wise were he to take counsel Of such
republicans as Senators Hoar and Hale,
and Represe sentatives Mccall and Little.
FIELD Their party standing cagnot be
questioned, though they hold to what
mas unfortunately become temporarily
the democratic doctrine that the consti-
tuition should follow the flag.
Why should there not be an effort
made to end the war by means Of nego.
tiation? Why should the Filipinos not
be asked to say through their leaders
what terms, il any, they will accept
short Of the REIMBURSEMENT of Ameri-
can sovereignty and the recognition Of
their independence?
And if thus reasonably approached
they should reject every proposal which
refuses them independence, has not the
time arrived for rational Americans tc

who i. Back Of the subsidy n,1,,

Who IL Back of the Subsidy Billf
The bill has no genuine popular sup
port. There is no real popular demand
for it, never has been and never will
be. 1t does not appeal even to the self
ish interests of any large class. When
1t was in the senate in the last session,
1t was so strongly opposed by the rep
farmers organizations throughout the
west and south especially that it was
abandoned for fear of the effect on the
approaching presidential and congress
sional elections. That opposition has
never been appeased, but it is now
thought safe to ignore 1t. The one
class that could be relied on to support
the measure If 1t really would accom-
plish what 1t is pretended that 1t will
accomplish are the shippers Of the Unit
ed States, who are interested in obtain
ing as full and cheap service on the
ocean as possible. This class does not
support the measure, and some Of the
most active and influential members Of
the class oppose it strongly, as witness

York.
| In these circumstances we repeat
that 1t will be disgraceful to the Demo
cratic minority In the senate If the
bill is allowed to pass at this session.
They are bound by every consideration
Of party loyalty and of rational pa
triotism to defeat it. 1t not only vio-
lates every principle of Democratic
belief In the matter Of economic legis-
lation, but 1t is such a fragrant and
scandalous job that 1t ought to be
killed for Its ingrained viciousness.

THE REAL TRUTH BY MAIL.

Interesting bits of information con-
cerning the condition Of affairs ia the
Philippines are hubbling to the surface
Of congressional discussions, while pri.
vate letters to senators and representa-
tives are conveying Information which
does not get into the newspapers
through the dispatches from Manila
For instance, it was asserted on the
floor OF. the senate one day by Senator
Pettigrew that General MacArthnr's re.
port for December showed 10000 more
sick soldiers than coull be properly
cared for. When Senator SeWtll CUES
toned the accuracy uf this statement,
Senator Teller replied that his informa-
ton was TO the sllne effect, and he de
iclared his belief that the number of sick
and disabled soldiers in the Philippines
would aggregate 40 900 a year for years
to come, or as long as the war might
last. Senator Hale expressed views
along the same line, aud added that
every man in the Philippines would be
on the pension list in five years. This
kind of war" he said, sis the most
cruel and destructive in its ravages. All
the soldiers now in the Philippines will
want pensions, and we will give them
what they want
Representative Gaines, of Tennessee,
received letter in the last Philippine
mail from an army officer in Manila,
which throws some light upon the con-
di,ions there. This officer says that he
can see no change since the election,
AMI that the Filipinos do not know
what fear is, but take killing we'll >,
He states that six or eight Of them are
hanged every Friday. General Mac
Arthur" !" adds the officer, has issued a
proclamation since the election promis-
ing to treat them as murderers and no,
as prisoners of war from now on. So it
will be hell from now on"
A prominent western senator received
in the same mail a letter from an army
officer in the Yisayas, which is revela-
tion as to conditions in that partsof the
archipelago. The letter sa VS. thai ii; Will
require &c. 600 men to subdue the insur-
rebtionvin the Visaya group Of Islands.
0We have administered the oath Of al.
legiance, says the officer, 'sto about
80, 600 natives. but the trouble is that it
requires man to protect each native
who takes the oath, as many of the
latter are promptly killed by their peo.
pie for being traitors to their country.'
The officer says that he does not place
much reliance in the oaths, and cites
numerous Instances where American
soldiers have met bands of natives, who
apparently, were peacefully eating OF
trading bananas. AS soon as the sol
diers pass, volley is sure to be fired
from the place where the natives were
located, and an American soldier, OF
perhaps several soldiers, are wounded
When the company returns to find the
natives, the latter have disappeared
The officer says that he does not know
whether anything is known in tn,
United States about the -Yisaya situa
ton, but If. it is supposed that peac'
prevails, the supposition is not based OF
facts.
