But it is perfectly clear that the pro-
visions of the bill have been carefully
fitted to the requirements of q small
number of men and companies whose
interests are concerned with the eX.
portation of passengers rather than the
carrying of agricultural products OF
manufactured goods. 1t was the eX-
posure of this careful adaptation of its
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 Il 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 a group, fol

Eighteen years ago, while their mother

Withdraw the Bill.

We have hoped that the promoters of
this bill would withdraw it after the
scathing public exposure of its real
character and purpose. The continued
demand by prominent Republicans for
the passage Of it has been a serious and
deplorable political blunder. We trust
that even now those who have been led
to press for the enactment of it can be
induced to remove 1t from the public
view and consign 1t to some obscure
resting place from which it can never
be brought to light again. But if they
shall persist in their folly it will be the
duty of those who oppose them to pre-
vent the passage Of the bill by all hon
orable means and to make the major

age effectively the support Of such prof

started into business with small cap

done by means of advertising in gen.

abled this man to keep great factory

GERMAN SUBSIDIES.
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 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
CIV ing 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 1t.
A short time ago his chief argument
was that the development of the Ger
man merchant marine could be traced
to the subsidy anu 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
ngton, 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. 1, 1898, a 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 a 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

The Ship Subsidy Bill.

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
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; it's
provisions do not promise any. On the
other hand, it gives a very large part
Of the bounty to fast passenger steam
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 n
little group of men who framed the bill
and would be the chief benefciaries of
1t.
The bill does not encourage the en-
pioyment 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-

Opposed to the ship Subsidy Bill,

Opposed to the Ship Subsidy Bill.
In the current number Of The Review
of Reviews Mr. William f. King, pres
ident Of the New York Merchants as
ISOLATION, severely criticises the pend
ing ship subsidy bill, especially the
proposition to admit certain foreigl
built ships to the privilege of subsidy.
He says:
Naturally enough, the amount OF
tonnage to be constructed in American
yards would be curtailed to the extent
!, to which foreign tonnage would be.
come entitled to American registry.
This, it seems to us, will not serve to
develop the American shipbuilding in
dustry in the manner in which it ought
to be developed and will not tend to-
ward the investment of capital in the
building up Of new shipyards to take
advantage Of the impetus which ought
to be given toward that particular line
of industry. Therefore it is that we
say, as reason for opposing this par
ticular provision of the bill, that an un-
duly large proportion Of the subsidy
would go to few men.
"Then, again, we feel that it is dan.
gerous to place in the hands Of few,
no matter how well intentioned they
may be, the power which the concen
tration of such large tonnage would
give them, especially when that ton
mage is subsidized. 1t might enable
them to create combination which
would serve to drive away competi
ton. The natural tendency of tina
would be to advance rates for the TEN
porary benefit of owners of the ton
mage, and this in turn would serve no
to expand the exporting Of American
products, but rather to curtail it.
1--WE have tried frequently to Obtain
an explanation of the reason for graft
ing this provision on the bill. 1t ha
been said by it's promoters that it wa
the best bill that could be prepared ur
der the circumstances and that the FOL
eign tonnage section was matter Q
J e1pediency. What these circumstance
We're has not been officially disclosed
1t would seem, however, that the pri1
, ciple of admitting foreign tonnage
American registry and half subsid
! was incorporated in the bill for til
purpose of allowing those American
who owned that tonnage to reap som
: benefit from the subsidy to be paid"
