Recently the Hon. Whitelaw
Reid, editor of the New York Tri-
bund, wrote to Senator Frye and
asked whom the pending ship SUBJ
sidy bill wpuld most benefit. In his
reply, Senator Frye said: 1.-The
individuals or corporations who
will, in the first instance, receive
the largest subsidies are those who
own the greatest amount of ton
mage, and at the present time, as
you know, are the international
Navigation Company, the Atlantic
Transport, Pacific Mail and the
New York and Cuba Mail Steam
ship Companies" This direct
and frank acknowledgement that
these great and rich corporations,
neither of which needs govern
ment aid, will be the beneficiaries,
clearly indicates that the bill is a
scheme to loot the, treasury for
the benefit of a certain favored
coterie of rich men who, presuma-
bly,, contributed literally to the
campaign fund of the Republican
party. The corporations. named
make a speciality of carrying pas
sengers in their ships. Their ves-
sells are not freighters, but are
patronized by the classes that
have money to spend for pleasure
trips. Yet the claim is made that
the subsidy bill is in the interests
of the agricultural classes. -Sa-

The family of Queen Victoria is
all exceptionally large and power
full one. She has not less than
eighty-three children, grand-chil-
dren and great-grand-children
Seventy-one of these survive her.
Two of her descendants are now
upon the thrones of Great Britain
and Germany, and in time, in all
likelihood another descendent will
be upon the throne of Russia,
since the wife of the Car is her
granddaughter. "No other royal
family" says a recent writer, "has
ever held within it's circle so many
crowns and scepters."

THE TRUSTS.

There is gang in the east
known as trust organizers. "
They are responsible for most of
the great combinations of capital
that have been made during the
last few years for the purpose of
throttling competition and rif1ing
the pockets of the people. AS
soon as a'trust among the princi-
pal manufacturers of a particular
commodity is organized, the gang
goes to work in another direction,
the result being that the combina-
tions follow each other without
interruption. The promoters get
good take out on each deal, and
the time is not far distant when
every commodity that man re-
quires will bear the trust trade
mark unless the right sort of leg
islation is enacted to prevent it.
