But the assertion that the thumb marks

u business association to wild
en- American markets and
keep labor and capital prolltably EN-
ployed. It's membership comprises
leading houses in 9S principal indus
tries situated in S4 states. 1t has made
Il careful study of the ship subsidy
problem and this is the conclusion it
has reached:
our study OF this subject has con-
vinced us that one of the chief OBJ
stacles to a larger export business is
the lack of an American merchant
marine. Every ship is a missionary
of trade. and steamship lines work for
their own countries just as railroad
lines work for their terminal points.
1t is as absurd for us to rely on for
eign ships to distribute our goods as it
would be for one business house to de-
pend upon the wagons of competing
house to make its deliveries A mer-
chant navy is as necessary as a war
navy and each supplements and helps
the other. There ought not to be any
politics In either. Political traditions
and shibboleths should have no place
here. 1T is II condition and not a
theory. Our competitors for the
worlds trade have built up their mer-
chant marine by subsidies and even
now are paying twenty-eight millions
of dollars Il year for that purpose.
France has within few days passed
an act largely increasing the subsidy
she pays her merchant marine,
I'VE have built up our magnificent
railway system by subsidies in land,
money and mail pay until it carries our
products for one-half the rates charged
by the railways of other countries,
but we have starved our merchant
marine until from 80 per cent. of our
exports once carried in American
ships, it has diminished TO per cent.
For Il nation with coast line greater
than any other; nation of maritime
instincts and with an unbroken record
of intelligence and intrepldity on the
ocean, from Paul Jones to George
Dewey, this Is little short of a national
disgrace. In this age of steam and
electricity the field is the world We
need fast mail ships as well as fast
mail trains and the true principle of
any subsidy should be to equalze the
difference in cost Of building and run
ming an American ship as compared
with foreign vessel of equal class.
This is what the revised Frye bill does
but IL ought to so a step further and
include those ships Of foreign build
now owned by Americans who have
been pioneers in investing their money
in the ocean carrying trade, but not
extend 1t so far as to include others
yet to come. We want to use American
materials and employ American labor
in the future. Ninety per cent. of
the cost of q ship, from the mining of
the ore TO the weaving OF the colors,
Is labor"

OUR GREATEST NEEDS.

Editor Of The Tribune
Sir; The following are a few of the many rea.
sons why congress should pass a liberal ship
subsidy bill Immediately:
Because our tonnage Of merchant marine Is
only 5,52i,9ls gross tons against Great Biitain's
1i,O6l, 1872
hecltse we have only enough vessels to prop.
crly do the business OF our lakes, rivers htr.
bors and coasts
Because we 'hnve only one line OF mid.occan
steamers crossing Tie Atlantic TO Europe, only
seven steamers crossing the Pacific TO Asia and
only three steamers to Australia
Because, south Of the caribbean sea and the
i'thlnus, there is no regular line of American
steamers TO either coast of America.
Because last year, American steamers car.
red, only 81 per cent Of our exports and i'm.
ports The lowest percentage in our history.
Because our position on the sea- except our
increasing navy, is insignificant.
Because Great Britain, France, Germany. Italy,
Japan and other nations have subsidized regular
lines OF fast steamers TO North and South Amer.
lea, Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe, TO the
extent of $50, 200, 900 annually.
Because the United States is the largest pro.
ducer of steel and coal, enabling MS both to
build and run many more vessels readily
Because, in n time Of war and ut all times
unless our merchant marine is largely increased
we Ne, at the mercy of foreign nations for the
carrying of ol.s of Our gigantic exports and inn
ports. Very truly yours,

squadron In New York. Mr.. Seward,
In that letter, following a discussion OF
various matters, wrote these signin-
cant words, which In Mr.. Bgelow's
opinion bear directly upon the point In
controversy; Between YOU and my
self alone, | have belief that the Eu-
ropean state, whichever one II may be,
that commits itself to intervention any
where in North America, will sooner or
later fetch UP in the arms of a native
of an Oriental country not especially
distinguished for amiability of manners
or temper . 1t might perhaps
he well IF IL were known in Europe that
we are no longer alarmed by demon-
strations of interference"
Mr.. Blgelow adds shortly after my
return from France in 1867, spent a
few days in Washington, during which
time | had frequent interviews with
Mr.. Seward, and occasionally met at
his house Monsieur Bodisco the Rus
sian minister at Washington. The pur-
chase of Alaska from Russia had just
been consummated. or course neither
Mr.. Seward nor Monsieur Bodisco said
distinctly to me that that purchase was
made purely and simply as gracious
recognition on the part of the Wash
ington government of the attitude of
the czar toward the United states in
'62, but / doubt If there was any men,
Der of either house of congress who
supposed the government then had any
other motive in the purchase of Alaska

Accepting as true these interpreta-
tions of facts, there is yet to be ex-
planned the czars motive. We should
like to have an authoritative opinion

MI much more ought to be
4 y Il be said. about the need of
free public baths in
Scranton. This is a very real need in
every large city. TO supply it is as
much within the proper function of
municipal government as for the city
to own it's water works, sewers or
garbage plant.
Next to free public baths in vaue
to the community come baths under
private auspices, at low cost. Indeed.
there is good argument for not making
municipal baths free, but for fixing the
price at Il figure which will make the
enterprise self-sustainng with good
management Most cities having pub
lie bathing facilities now make small
charges. The effect of them is to in
duce u more genuine interest on the
part of the public, which is not inclined
to value highly what is free.
We notice in Philadelphia exchange
that so successful has been the work
of the Public Baths association of that
city that it is to enlarge it's facilities.
1t built a bath and wash house in Gas
kill street four years ago, provided eX-
cellent accommodations with privacy
for the small price of five cents ii bath,
and soon did Il land-oflice business.
The average this last year was over
one thousand baths Il week. Thus en-
couraged, the organizers of this prac-
tical work of beneVolence have deter
mined to locate Il new establishment
on Wood street, in q section Offering
large promise of ready patronage. 1t
will cost $4,000 and give accommoda-
tions for 10000 baths a year. The ar
tlcle from which these facts are taken
does not say whether the baths are
self-sustainng or Il source of profit,
but the presumption is that no profit is
made, If, indeed, the managers do not
nave to reach into their pockets to
cover Il deficit.
Yet we can think of few ways in
which money intended for benevolent
purposes can be so wisely placed as in
encouraging cleanliness. Cleanliness
of body is essential to cleanliness of
mind and heart. If the multitudes of
the unWashed in our large cities could

ing problems of city life would disap-
pear. 1t would be difficult to figure out

Plenty of Time for Reflection.

" = ARIOUS versions of the inter
view had by Admiral Schley
with the president have ap-
peared in print all of them
doubtless guesswork. All that is known
is that Schley asked for the interviews
that it lasted nearly an hour, and that
at its conclusion the admiral said it
was friendly meeting. concerning
which he could not talk.
The drift of the newspaper gossip re-
garding the matter is to the effect
that the admiral. acting on the advice
of his counsel and intimate friends.
asked the president to review the evil
dence and thus virtually reopen the
case. 1t is freely conceded that Il re-
fusal is anticipated. The fact that
Schley is about to begin tour of the
South and West has raised the belief
that II political turn is TO be given to
the matter The Democrats are evil
IDENTIFY eager to locate a new issue.
Their need of one is pathetic.
1t is possible that if an election were
to be held tomorrow with Schley in
the forefront Il majority might be re-
turned adverse to the administration,
but it is long time until the next
election; and before the interval shall
have been spanned time will have in
tervened for a lot of sober thinking

Unpublished History.

" n PUBLIC discussions of our for
eign relations the statement has
IA frequently been made and denied
that Russia helped to prevent
foreign interference With us during our
civil war. The records of the state de-
partnlent contain no evidence upon this
subject; and yet, if we may credit n
version of facts put forth by the New
York sun in recent issue, the service
which Russia rendered to this country
on that occasion was of the first inn
portance,
In the Life of Thurlow Weed" the
distinct assertion is made that inmedi-
ately after Louis Napoleon had invited
Russia and England to Join with
France in breaking the North,s block

height of the public and official excite

Mason and Slidell. Car Alexander III

the command of President Lincoln in
case any European power made a hos
tile move. This statement is borne ont
at least to the extent that Il Russian
fleet did lay for months in New York
harbor and one in san Francisco har-
bor under sealed orders, and it was
understood in certain circles in New
York that The mission of these twin
fleets was not unfrendly.
In corroboration of this assertion the
sun now prints letter from John
Bigelow, at the time our consul at
Paris, and an intimate friend of Mr..

letter Mr. Bigelow refers to another
letter, received by him from Mr.. Sew

For the noblcst that the world hath known,

And the noblcst that the woyld doth know,
Are the SOUS and daughters OF the man with the
hoe
Take all the pathways that lead to fame,
And OF the pilgrims asl, whence they came,
And youll learn that they WHO the highest go
Spring from the stock ot the man with the hoe,
Doth it accord With Natures law
That slantcd brow and loOsened jaw,
StOlid, stunned brother OF OK should sire
Those whom the whole world doth admire?
The man with hoe by his wholesome toll,
Brings plenty out OF the stubborn soil.
'ris the man with the hoe who scws the seed
That a hungry multitude doth feed.
Mankind would be both naked and cold,
Ii the man with the hoe did not tend the fold.
For the things that mankind cannot forego
Are all the products OF the man with the hoe.
The common burden OF toll and care
The man with the hoe, like all, doth share.
But healthful labor makes muscles strong,
And conscience clear helps him along
Thousands beneath its weight may TALL,
But his rugged frame survives them all,
Though to peaks OF song he meier has scared,
OF The wild birds song lie knows every chord.
And his soul TO the tlucr music thrills
As he lists TO the birds and winds and rills.
The name OF Plato may he unknown, Z
But he hath knowledge of his own,

And trees, and riils and fields, and rocks

But from whispering Winds and babbling brooks
For Natures voice comes swift and low
