Mr.. CRAMPS NOTION.

Mr.. Charles III. Cramp, president
of the Cramp building company OF
Philadelphia and a ground floor mem
Der of the bogus trust organized g
couple Of years ago to receive the
annual install of the ship subsidy
that didn't pass, regrets The formation
of the $500, 600, 600 steamship trust
mainly for the reason, as he feelingly
states 1t, that the vessels Of the com
bination must, in the main, fly the
flag Of foreign nations, and that In
case Of war between he United States
and the power whose flag they fy,.
vessels owned so largely by American
citizens can be taken possession OF by
the enemy and utilized against the
4country Of which their owners are
citizens . This is really grave mat
ter and the only remedy which Mr..
Cramp can suggest for it is a subsidy
to the ship companies which compose
the trust suficie emily large to make it
possible for them TO hire the Cramp
ship building company to equip them
with ships at its own price.
The trust with its colossal capital
can see its way clear to large profits
without a subsidy though every man
connected with it has been knocking
at the door of the treasury for many
years begging like a mendicant for
the bounty. Tt will have plenty Of
money to renew its equipment and as
the Cramp ship building company
has been able to defeat every com
petitor for the construction Of war
and mechant ships for foreign pur-
chasers it will no doubt be able to
get a fair share of the construction
work for the new trust, if it wants
it. But Mr.. Cramp will prefer, prob
ably, to occupy his establishment in
building ships for foreign customers
at less price than to build for home
purchasers at any rice. At the begin
ming of the Spanish war he held up
the government for months because
TIE authorities wouldn't pay him an
extortionate price for ships and he only
welded when an order was issued to
buy wherever vessels could be found
for sale.
If MT. Cramp had brains enough to
manage blacksmith shop with one
fire he would know that the remedy
for the danger to which he refers is
not in paying unearned bounties to
ship building trusts The repeal OF
our antiquated navigation laws and
the substitution Of q code which would
enable American ships, or ships own.
ed by American citizens and operated
by Americans to register and carry
the American flag, no matter where
It was built, would achieve the pur-
pose. Every other commercial nation
in the world long ago enacted such
laws and the flag of every such nation
is floating in every port of the world.
But in order to preserve monopoly
of The business in this country for
the Cramps and their farorites we
still maintaing a system which re-
=quires ship to be built in this
country in order to register and as
the Cramps charge more for build
