FOR FREIGHT CARRIERS.

SUBSIDIES FOR FREIGHT CARRIERS.
Baltimore Sun.
The shipping subsidy hunters at Wash
ington are said to be much Disguised at
the arrival of Western congressman, who
say subsidies are all right, but that the
vessels subsidized must be freight carriers
or grain carriers, not ocean greyhounds
engaged wholly in carrying millionaires
to Europe and back. This is regarded
as a very stupid view. The use Of a
subsidy is to put cash into the hands
of certain Eastern capitalists, not to pro-
mote any public interest. To convert the
subsidy scheme into plan for getting the
farmers grain to foreign markets more
cheaply than at present is to miscon-
ceive the whole matter To prescribe that
the subsidy shall be in proportion to the
freight carried is an insult to those who
think the flag is the only thing a subsi
dized ship ought to be required to carry
Hitherto the bounty has been in. pro-

ENGLSHMAN'S TARIFF JOKE.
The Commoner

The Commoner
Once in while our boosted Yankee
shrewdness' is made to play second fid
die. British contractor recently per-
formed neat trick on an American steel
manufacturing concern. The English
man in question secured a contract for
building a section of an elevated railway
in Boston. Knowing that because of the
curious operations of the American pro-
tective tariff he could buy American
made steel cheaper in England than
Americans could buy it at their own
doors he proceeded to take advantage of
the fact The Englishman wrote from
England to several American structural
iron works asking bids on a certain lot
OF iron. He selected the best bid and
closed the contract. When the contract
was properly signed he cabled the Amer
lean iron manufacturer not to ship to
Liverpool but to ship to Boston. The point
of the Englishman's joke will not be seen
by those who still cling to the idea that
Americans can tax themselves rich.
Neither will it be seen by those who still
labor under the delusion that foreign
ers pay the tax.

THE PANAMA CANAL COMPANY.
Offers to Sell Out to Uncle Sam on More Favor
able Conditions Than Before
(By the Associated Press.


Washington, Nov. 6.-President Huttin,
of the Panama Canal Company, finally
has submitted TO Admiral Walker, the
head of the Isthmian Canal Commission,
a proposition on behalf of his company
for the acquisition of all it's rights by
the United States Government. The
Panama Company has been restrained up
to this moment from submitting a direct
proposition owing to a clause in the con-
cession, which it holds from the Govern
ment of Colombia, which prescribes for
fixture Of the concession as penalty
for the making of an effort by the COM
pany to transfer its rights to another
government.
The company's agents, therefore, have
been obliged to act with extreme caution
in making oyertures but in some way
the Colombian Government has been in
duced TO wink at this technical violation
of the concessions. Its terms are not
yet disclosed, all 1t is probable that
they will be withheld until the Isthmian
Canal Commission publishes its report.
