FACTS AGAINST THE SUBSIDY.


EVERY ship yard Of importance in.
the country is running to its fullest
capacity, and many new ones have
come into existence, with some of the
old doubling and trebling their facili-
ties for turning out vessels. Contracts
Tor mercantile craft alone on the At
lantic and Pacific coasts amount to
1000, 900, and it is now almost q
certainty that more new tonnage will
go into the water under the American
dag in 1901 than In any previous year
in the history Of the country.
'srhe fact that America is building
ships for foreign governments, which
have had the world for a market in
which to buy their ships, shows plain
" that there is an advantage in our
favor on the first cost Of the ship. The
fact that building and sailing American
ships In competition with the fleets Of
the world has enabled q few Americans
to pile up colossal fortunes shows that
we can operate the ships AZ cheaply
as the foreigners can operate their
craft.

But now instead Of disbanding the army
you are demanding that the permanent

the public that the conditions in the
Philippines have been certainly grow
ing worse for two years, and that the
only cessation of hostilities that was at
any time observable was due to the

the democratic party would triumph in

REPUBLICANS .DENOUNCE SHIP
SUBSIDY BILL.

Senator Hanna seems to be having
more than his hands full in his attempt
to round up the Republican papers Of
the country in favor Of his ship SUBJ

from important Republican papers in
,dicate the way his overtures are re-
ceived:
THE PEOPLE OPPOSED TO SUBSIDIES.
"Not only is there no popular demand
for subsidy measure, but there is
no reason to believe that 1t would
benefit any person outside of those
engaged in building and running ships,
and of these classes 1t would benefit
only those who least need it-the large
builders and ocean liners and not small
ones. = 80
"C0ngressmen must not mistake the
atmosphere of Washington for that of
the country at large or the clamor Of
few ship builders and owners and
their lobby for the voice Of the people.

the upbuilding of our merchant ma

methods than a money subsidy

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

=. .
1.-THE ship subsidy proposition is less
popular than the tariff Tor at least two
reasons. One is that nobody can be
induced to believe that the foreigner
pays the freight when the bill itself
expressly provides that it shall be paid
out OF the national treasury in cold
cash. The other is that the word
subsidy has an unpleasant sound, sug-
gestive Of the credit mobilier and land
grants for railroads that were never
built.
1.-THE subject is one little understood
by the people, and even II the subsidy
principle be conceded only those famil-
lar with the condition of the ship
building industry and the condition
and needs Of the merchant marine can
undertake to say whether the pending
bill has been framed on the lines best
calculated to increase this nations im.3

Of gambling houses made now, and similar
report with regard to them may be expected
soon. Most people believe that the general clos

of the Committee of Fifteen was entirely due to
fear of that body Murphy says it is due TO
fear of the police. How then. does he explain
the fact that dsorderly houses flourish all over
the city? Do they not fear the police also, or
is their boldness due to the fact that the Fifteen
have not yet threatened to raid any of that Kind
of resort?
One Of these headquarters detectives tells
dramatic story of how he forced his way into
Canfied's the other night, and to his surprise
found the place deserted by all save one negro
caretaker When Superintendent McCullagh,
who has charge OF tne flIIte+l uttCN'''N N''''>'
