ed necessity, to tack on to the bill this
rider providing for q general subsidy.
This arrangement is as deceptive to the
public and IS improper as if an act to com.
NIT The country to a new and important
policy Were tackled on as rider to an appro-
priation bill. Postal subsidy is granted
presumably for value received. That value
is not aICays returned to the Government
in the postage paid but in many cases the
regular mail lines run to distant colonies
with which regular communication must be
maintained, and this postal service to cur
own possessions has political value. All
ofthe subsidies paid by England, excepting
G59S S51 paid as naval subventions TO nine
8 ,esmers in the merchant reserve, are given
for political rather thar commercial reasons
to maintain these long mail routes to the
British colonies and more than Wo.thirds o.
the amouot so paid ont by the British
Government is received back in postage
Mail subsidies therefore if Justifabls at al
rest on basis of value received, and should
represent the seapostage on mail matte
over the principal mail routes, and thu
political and commercial value of the main
tensnce Of regular mails over specia
routes.

Postal and Ship Subsidies.


4 The present bill, just pissed, is merely re.
enactment Of the Postal Subs dy Act of 1871
giving higher rates Of pay to the steamship
lines, with q provision for general SUBSIDY
tackled on as rider. The danger and the
impopriety in such legislation are too sppar.
ensl to require comment. Where sn act
that is generally considered necessity 10
chained 10 really separate acs, which IS
generally considered raid on the Treasury,
and the fortunes Of the two are united IN
Congress for better or worse the W. ole
measure cannot receive the thoughtful con
sideration which new legislation requires.
Tue carrying of the walls is am absolute
necessity, but it is q fact, shown by the
reports of the Post Office Department, that
the mails to England could be carried better
and more cheaply without the Postal Sub
sidy Act of 1891 than they have beer
carried under it. Yet very few persons
either in or out of Congress, are aware o.
this fact.
The common, me might say univel sal
sentiment IN favor OF postal subsidy II
most adroitly utilized by those who arr
seeking for general subsidy by making tn
reenactlnent Of the one cover for the other
which rests on an entirely different basis
The benefits TO the carrier now derlve'
under the Postal Subsidy Act of 1891 ar
700 extensive to permit the lines which nov
prCfit by it to run the risk of allowing il
continuance to be considered ss new an
open question. They are, therefore, un
willing to have other mail-carryipg stes
mers included with their American ships j
general scheme of subsidy, for the iaiIur
Of Congress and the public to approve
general subsidy, which rests On an entirel
different bsss from that of mail subsidy
might put an end to lkelr prcfi's. The b'l
therefore, is product of the tlmidity OF th
mail.carrying lines, combined with the
desire to commit he country to generi
subsids policy, SO far as they can satel
make such d. mand without risking wb'
they have already gained. In the preser
act the portion relating to ship subsidy
entirely distinct from the remainder OF tt
bill, being merely a reenactment OF the a.
of 1891, with an increase of rates, SO that
the event OF strong opposition in Congress
that part OF the bull which relates to gener
subsidy can be dropped, and these post
provisions saved from disaster. At the ssn
time, an adroit advantage is tai en- OF Il
fact that the postal subsidy will be cons de

There is no cause for discourage

be much easier. Trials have their
place in the divine economy, and,
in the end, man may find that
"sweet are the uses of adversely, "
however grieyous they may be to
be borne. A dollhouse plant may
be beautiful, but it is not rugged,
