LILLE Transatlantic steamship com

THE transatlantic steamship COM
biustlon formed by ]. P. Morgan Will
have a capital of $4,000 900, of which
$50. 900 900, will be 6 per cent cumuls-
tive preferred stock. $50, 10000 COM
mon stock, and s5O,OOO,OOO Al per cent
debentures. The best argument that
could be put forth against the grant OF
Government ship subsidies has been
made by the capitalists who have been
buying steamship lines, organizing q
combine and making arrangements 10
fxrates of carrying freights and pas
sepeers to suit themselves. When the
shipping business offers such iDduce-
ment to wholesale investment there is
apparently small need of governmental
ooaxipe. A business 80 we'll establish
ed and so profit able as to attract the
loves tment of $40, 100000 at the hands
OF successful and experienced business
men 10 America and Europe would
seem able to take care of itself without
the aid OF government subsidies. To-
stead of subsidizlpg a combination
amply able to take care OF itself, the
Government should repeal Its absurd
navigation laws so as to insure free
ships and free competition for the
ocean carrying trade, and thereby pro-
tect American producers from over
charge ct the hands OF monopoly.
There has never been so strong an ar
Rument for free ships as that put forth
by the great ship combination, which
declares it must buy ships in foreign
markets and sail them with alien crews
under the flags Of other nations because
of the dearness of American shipbulld-
ing material and the higher cost OF
American labor.
