Glasgow, Scotland, merits
especial attention.
One of the stock arguments
made by the friends of the sub
sidy bill is that England has
been for a century the CONNER.
cial mistress of the seas because
of her policy of substituting her
merchant marine. Mr.. Taylor
shows conclusively that Great
Britain has never done any
thing of the kind. What are
specifically classed as subsi.
dies in the British merchant
marine this writer designates
as purely and simply freight
remuneration for mail cargoes
carried on fixed dates within
prescribed periods, to positive
destinations" There are abso.
lutely no subsidies in the sense
that subsidy is bonus or
gratuity.
Mr.. Taylor proves statisti
cally that the "liners" which

mate carrying contracts repre-

To resort to figures: In 1902,
of the 1852 steamers under the

and 1900 liners. Of the i'm.

MERGE this writer says:
Eighty per cent of the worlds
sea trade is done by the British
tramps; snubbed by their own
government and worried and
bled by foreign governments.
The whole fleet of liners on the
Atlantic might be swept away
without affecting the trade of
the tramps (beyond giving them
more employment which are
the cheapest as we'll as the
most ubiquitous carriers in.the
world. This vast fleet OF Brit
ish steam tramps represent an
invested capital OF something
like $3.50, 100000 sterling. The
liners represent, perhaps, $40. &.

about e20,000,000.
1t would seem, then, that the
logic of the British example
taken home by the United
States, is not more liners foster.

American tramps to compete
with British bottoms of that
class.
