= Question for Subsidy Advocates,
What on earth is the use OF taking
none away from people by taxation
and giving it TO other people for pro-
ducinS that which already exists in
abundant supply? There was some ex-
cuse for this when fields of produc-
ton and consumption were so inaeces-
sible to one another that there might
be glut in one place and famine in an
other. But now that cheap and swift
transportation has brought all markets
close together. there doesn't seem to be
any sense in encouraging artificial
oyerproduction by oppressive taxation.

sbipyards could not compete to advan-

featured of steel and we have been in
yading the markets of the great steel
manufacturing countries with our pro-
ducts for number of years past The
world rings With the groans of our I'M
successful rivals. 1t is not common
sense to infer that an industry so pow
erful and triumphant in one branch is
imbecile and dependent in another
branch.-New York Times.

Chance to Gain Congressman.
In 1898 when the Republicans were
