THE SHIP SUBSIDY STEAL.
The promoters of the ship subsidy scheme are re-
ported to be preparing for another the
passage by congress of bill that would enable them
to perpetrate the steal they have in contemplation.
Senator Culom has prophesied that they will be
cessful with the coming congress- and perhaps he
knows what he Is talking about At all events Senator
Frye who has been looking after their in the
upper house in the past is planning meeting OF the
advocates of subsidy to take place within the
weeks, somewhere in the New England States. This
meeting will be attended by Senator Hanna and Rep
resentatiye Grosvenor of Ohio amd Representative Lit
teheld Of Maine. who has been making exhaustive
study of the subject and who will most likely have
charge of the subsidy MEASURE to be presented
when congress meets again.
1t is to be taken for granted therefore, that the
subsidy schemers determined to face any kind of
difficulty matter how great their endeavor to
accomplish their purpose undeterred by the refusal
of republican National State conventions to openly
ndorse their scheme they ime going to return to the
assault depending. perhaps, the republican pro
clivty for violating American principles for ultimate
success
trust having gained control Of the ship building
industry on the great lakes and another trust great
er magnitude having been formed Tor the purpose of
controlling oceanic shipping may be the calculation
OF the friends of subsidy that they will now have but
little trouble in getting the support of the republican
majority in congress for the bill they want passed
Plainly stated their purpose is to class egsla
ton of the rankest sort They wish to compel the
whole people TO contribute to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
lmonopoyto take from the masses for the benefit of
a few favored millionaire ship builders and owners
But the republican party has more than once lent it's
aiu to schemes of this KIND in the past and it is quite
within the domain of safe prophecy that it will not go
back on its record in this instance
