The Public will Have No seuest.

The Public Will Have No Benefit.
The payment of subsidies to vessels.
whether they carry cargoes or not, is
a gratuity of no use to the public. The
payment of subsidies will not have the
effect of reducing freight rates a parti-

vessels regardless of their ages. An

Senator Frye Right for Once,

Senator Frye is quite right in his
claim that the ship subsidy bill is "a
logical response to the demands and
the principles Of the Republican party"
The Republican party has always held
that the many should be taxed for the
benefit of the few, and the ship subsidy
does that. The Republican party has
always taken care of the wealthy men
that furnish campaign funds, and the
ship subsidy does that. The Republican
party has always brought forward its
measures under false pretense of pub
lie benefit, and that is the guise In
which the subsidy appears. 1t is thor

operation the bill eliminates the former
provision that they shall carry cargoes
equal to 90 per cent of their registered
tonnage. To make up for want of full
cargoes they will, it is assured, return
at least 100000 of the subsidy in

by the fact that with the exception of

Comes laughing lovingly,
And gold and tawny wing
Make melody,
Then hey for meadow air,
With my love therel
When Summers haze and heat
The dreamy landscape blur,
Apd browsing in the wheat
Tbs crickets chirr,
Then hey for mountain ar,
With my love there!
When largess from her urn
The lavish Autumn spills,
And sunset splendors burn
On all the hills.
Then hey for woodland air.
With my love there!
When Winter grips the land,
And chains the long blue lakes,
And sows with open hand
The f1eece-white fakes,
Then hey for ingle air,
VITA my love there!

Farms Not Making Millionaircs.


The agrlculturist of an agricultural
country cannot be benefited by a tariff
on agricultural products. But they can
be greatly Injured by a tariff on the
things they use. If they have to pay
more than their foreign competitors for
the tools they use, the clothes they
wear, the food they purchase, the ma.
terial needed for fences and buildings,
they are manifestly handicapped in the
contest, and that is what the American
farmer Is experiencing. The farm is not
making any Schwabs or Carnegies or
Rockefellers or Morgans--at least not
directly. These suddenly acquired for
tunes are not the result of tilling the
soil, but the tillers of the soil are con-
tributing to every one of them.-In-
