ment wants an increase of American ships
engaged in foreign trade and a reduction
of freight rates. This bill provides for
neither, In buying thing that costs
10000 00 year ordinary prudence would
seem to dictate that some provision be
made for securing what we buy after we
have paid for it. There Is no such pro-
vision in this bill. 1t is a proposition
pure and simple that if these gentlemen
will use part OF the money as invest
ments for their own benefit IN American
built ships we will give them 100000 a
year out of the public Treasury for their
individual profit. They can run them or
sell them as they see fit, This is another
scheme for a gigantic trust which will
ruin thousands of men now engaged in the
shipping business and place it in the
power of great corporations to raise
freight rates at will.

organization of the Democratic party.

An Expensive Policy

"a colonial policy will be vastly ex-
pensive for the United States We cannot
maintain colonial system as economically
as other nations can. An army of 100. 600
American soldiers costs more than an
army OF the same size costs any other ma
tion, because We pay our soldiers more
than any other Government pays its SOL
diers, and make better provision for them
while in the service than any other ma
tion makes for its soldiers, and pay our
soldiers as pensioners more than any
other nation pays its soldiers who are
wounded or worn out In its service. A
colonial policy will require a large per-
nanent army. We now have about 30 900
men in the Philippine Islands We shall
probably have to maintain this number for
at least one year more. How much Longer
We will need SO large an army there no
