GERMAN SUBSIDIES.
win Hanna Never Learnf

VIII Hanna Never Learnt
That Senator Hanna possesses great
tenacity Of purpose and that to this is
principally owing his political and bust
ness success is well known. This
quality he again exhibits in his en-
deavor to save his ship subsidy bill in
such a very remarkable manner that
we can hardly speak of his persever-
ance, but rather of his thick headed
ness. In spite of the fact that he has
owing to different causes not the slight
est prospect of reaching his goal in this
session, he never ceases his endeayor
to carry on propaganda for it.
A short time ago his chief argument
was that the development of the Ger
man merchant marine could be traced
to the subsidy and therefore was de-.
serving of our imitation. We took
occasion, forthwith, to give the infor-
nation that Senator Hanna was gross
ly in error, and he has allowed this
argument to drop, but has Immediately
thought out new one. He now adj
mits that the German government di-
rectly subsidies only those lines which
maintain the intercourse with the
colonies and which could not support
themselves without aid But he as
serts, as we are informed from Wash
ington, that the German government
grants especially favorable railroad
freight charges upon products intend
ed for export and consequently puts
the exporter in position to pay higher
freight charges on the sea, which
amounts to the same thing as an indi-
rect support to the merchant marine
by the imperial government. In this
assertion Mr. Hanna is again greatly in
error.
Upon Oct. /, 1898, universal specific
tariff was introduced upon the collect
i've German railroads which rests upon
the principle of making lower charges
for great distances, in fact sort of
zone tariff. In passing we may remark
that this policy was previously follow
ed here with us by the railroads, but
was warmly opposed by the public.
Through the well known long and
short haul clause" Of the interstate
commerce law discrimination of any
sort is expressly forbidden.
In the German railroad tariff policy
this idea is particularly aimed alto
furnish the agricultural products of
the east a market place in the west-in
fact. Partially to the same at the ex-
pense Of industry which has given
cause enough for complaint over the
fayoritism to the agrarian and the in
habitant of the east of the Elbe. Ex-
cept in this particular the new specific
freight tariff admits of no special fa-
vor for certain wares that arrive for
export, and it cannot. therefore, be said
that by this means higher shipping
freight could be possible. With this
the entire Hanna argument falls to
pieces. We are curious to see what
Senator Hanna will now think out for

The Shin Subsidy Dill.

The exports of the United States
have been rapidly growing under the
present conditions of ocean traffic, and
they are now the wonder of the world,
exceeding our imports in the last four
years by more than $4,000, O0C, 900. The
growth of them has been promoted by
low freight rates. So far as ocean car
rage is concerned, that growth can be
increased only by reduction of those
rates. The bill makes no reduction; its
provisions do not promise any. On the
other hand, it gives very large part
of the bounty to fast passenger steam
ships which carry very little freight
and have room for only small guam
tity. At the same time the complaint
is made by some owners of slow freight
carriers that the bill would work to
their disadvantage and in favor of
little group Of men who framed the bill
and would be the chief bene1ciaries of
it.
The bill does not encourage the en-
ployment Of American seamen. The
Seamen's union declares that it would
not increase the number of American
sailors. Indeed, the requirements as
to the employment Of Americans on the
steamships now receiving mail pay
would be substituted for present re-
quirements, which are much more ex-
acting. Ships that now must have
crews one-half American would be al
lowed to reduce the American proper
ton to one-quarter, and would not be
compelled to employ any Americans
whatever, if they cannot be reason
ably obtained" There is no evidence
that the government would be per-
ceptibly assisted in respect to auxiliary
cruisers; for the chief advocates of the
bill have testified that under the pro-
visions Of it no ships having speed of
more than IL knots would be built.
But it is perfectly clear that the pro-
visions Of the bill have been carefully
fitted to the requirements of small
number of men and companies whose
interests are concerned with the ex-
portation of passengers rather than the
carrying of agricultural products or
manufactured goods. 1t was the ex-
posture of this careful adaptation of it's
provisions to the needs or the greed of
this group that excited throughout the
country the opposition with which the
Industrious friends Of the measure have
been confronted. 1t was not a difficult
matter to obtain popular approval in a
party for the revival of the American
merchant marine. but we are confident
that it could not have been procured
for this bill If the provisions and effect
of it had been explained. Some oppo-
nents of it have called it class legisla-
ton. 1t is something much worse than
that; it is legislation for group, for
the pockets of few, and it involves
the appropriation of $180,O0O,O00 Of tax
revenue for the benefit of this group

How Votes are Gained.

Whenever an important election is i'm
pending, the speeches made for ''home
consumption" fill the largest space in the
Record. The House of Representatives may
be discussing bill for the extension of
street railway through the city of Washing
ton, and limiting the length of speeches to
five minutes. A member from district
where salt is mined wishes to show his con-
stituents that he is protecting their local
industry; so he begins his speech with a
brief reference to the pending bill, and
branches off into a eulogy of Republican
rule, and thence plunges into the reading
of written essay on the tariff on salt
His five minutes are soon exhausted, but as
he still holds a voluminous manuscript in
his hands, his fellow-members courteously
permit him to "extend his remarks in the
Record" This practically completes the
business. The chances are that his manu-
script, with its statistical and historical
data was prepared by his clerk. The sheets
are handed bodily to the Public Printer;
the Record appears the next morning with
the speech in full; the clerk cuts off the in
troductory paragraphs, and orders reprint
of the rest-20, 900 sealed copies, inclosed
in 20, 900 sealed envelopes, with the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S electrotyped signature in the
upper right-hand corner; on the delivery of
this material, few girls hired at dollar
a day, address the envelopes from polling
list furnished by the manager of the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S home campaign; wagon run at
government expense calls for the mass of
addressed packages and carries them to the
post-office, where they are pouched and
labeled and shipped to destination. At the
other end of the route the ingenious con-
stituent receives one of the speeches with
his morning mail, and when he takes it
home to read, he remarks to his wife on
the wonderful memory of Congressman
who amid all the labors of the session, can
pause to remember him, somewhat obscure
citizen: the good wife looks at the envel-
ope and compliments the Congressman's ex-
cellent handwriting in view Of his years;
their son carefully scissors out the frank to
paste in his autograph collection; and one
vote at.the next election is nailed fast, unless
the opposing candidate can play better
game.

the bits is to shave them up and put
them into twice their measure Of boil

This will apply to the grocer as

Now, when we say that we have
sold half ton of one grade of coffee
without complaint, we mean this
to be the fact.
Well, our experience is just this:
we are not going to give an inferior
article because we have a good sale
on this coffee; but we are going to
make it better for the same money.
This coffee will cost you 18c. a h.,
