THE SUBSIDY RESOLUTION.
As Wired to President Mckinley by
Collector Dunn.

As Wired to President Mckinley by
Collector Dunn.
Brunswick, Ga, Jan. 31.-The resolution
adopted by the Maritime Congress was
offered by Mr.. Brobston and was referred
under the rules to the Committee on
Resolutions. The committee changed only
one or two words in it, and then unani-
mously reported it back to the congress
favorably. The words changed made it
read we favor governmental aid" in
stead of governmental subsidy" as Mr.
Brobston had it. The resolution in full
is as follows:
To the National Maritime Congress:
Gentlemen-Your Committee on Reso-
lutions, after carefully considering ell
ropositions submitted to them. respect
fully presents with its unanimous ap-
prevail the following:
Resolved. That our farms, forests,
mines and factories need wider markets
md that we must find these among the
fourteen hundred millions of people who
constitute the D, pulation of the world,
outside of the United States; that while
our unequalled system of railroads
which carry cur products to the seaboard
at rates one-hah those of other coun
tries has been developed by subsidies in
land, money and mail pay, we have
starved cur oversee shipping while other
countries were protecting theirs by sub
sides, until about 80 per cent. of our
foreign commerce is carried in foreign
bottoms, it has dwindled to per cent. !:
that every ship is a missionary trade
and steamship lines work for their coun-
tries as rail- Dads do for their terminal
points; that it is as inconsistent to rely
upon foreign ships to distribute our
goods as it would be for one business
house to rely upon the wagons of COM
peting house to make it's deliveries; that
Improvement of river and harbors and
compensation for fast mail on land are
as much subsidies as those proposed on
The seas; that this is a national bust
ness proposition outside of politics;
therefore, it is our opinion that it is
ne duty of congress before the adjourn
merit of the present session to revive our
shipping upon the seas by governmental
aid to American mail carriers and trad
ers, euuitably distributed, sufficient IN
amount to enable them to successfully
compete with the cheaper built, cheaper
operated, subsidized and bountied mer-
chant ships of foreign countries in the
carrying of our imports and exports.

action of this congress, controlled by

Governors part in inviting us here and

wick and stand on the floor. We did
not expect such treatment and are sur

President Aiken of the Brunswick

If Gov. Gambler mas been correctly

In attacking the Brunswick Board of

a great deal of applause, but not one
voice was raised in Gov. Gamblers be-
