THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Sure to Be Passed If the Republican
Trust Boodlers Control the
Next Congress.

OF course Secretary Shaw directly
represents the president in his public
announcements and speeches. When
he spoke at the banquet given by the
New York chamber Of commerce last
November at Delmonico's he was en-
thusiastic for the s~hip-subsidy steal II
no other way could be devised of in
creasing the merchant marine. AS the
junketing committee of congress head
ed by Senator Gallinger has been hold
ing meetings all owe the country on
purpose to gather evidence in favor of
the ship-subsidy bill there is no doubt
that such a measure will be forced
through congress if money and influ-
ence will do it. President Roosevelt
has virtually Endorsed the programme
that Secretary Shaw spoke of with so
much favor, and the only means left to
stop the steal is for the people to de-
feat those who voted for it. Nearly
every republican member of the United
States senate is on record as voting in
its favor, and several of them are candi-
dates this year for reelection-such as
Senators Aldrich, Ball, Bard, Bev-
eridge. Clapp, Clark, .Depew, Foster,
Hale, Keen, Kearns, Lodge, McCumber.
Proctor. Quarles and Scott. The bill
was not voted upon in the house of
representatives. The republican ma
jority there feared TIE people. but it
Is claimed that a majority are pledged
to do so when it ONE up at the next
session. Every candidate for congress
should be made to pledge himself to
vote against a subsidy bill in whatever
form it may be presented, and also that
members of the legislature will not vote
to reflect senators who favored It. It
is bad enough to be %plundered by the
trusts through the protective tariff,
which is an indirect form of subsidy.
but to rob the people directly by grant
ing an enormous subsidy to the Morgan
steamship trust would be a browning
infamy that the voters should guard
against.

THE COST OF THE TARIFF.
Average of One Hundred Dollars Per
Yea. for Each Family in the
United States.

II the protectionists cannot show
that all are protected by the tariff IL
must be admitted that protection is not
applied equally, and unequal taxation
is al abomination. From the very
nature Of things protection cannot be
universal, or there would be no bene.
fit for anyone. II every one was
taxed for the benefit Of every one else
nc one would be the gamer. The pol.
Icy and practice of the protective tariff
is to make the many pay for the bene.
fit Of the few.
How few receive any advantage from
the protective tariff Of the $4,000, 900
which the census of 1900 shows are
engaged in gainful occupations-that
is the workers and laborers Of the
United States. 1t is admitted that but
very few farmers receive any benefit
from the tariff and yet there were
100000 00 persons engaged in agricul-
ture. Men and women in the profess
Sions numbered 1,z58,000. Can it be
shown that the 111,63S %clergymen, the
l14,460 lawyers, the 1872, 900 doctors
and the 446,133 teachers have had their
incomes increased by the protective
tariff?
The $780, 900 persons In domestic
and personal service. of whom 1861
721 were servants and walters, 131, 116
BARRIERS, and 1856, 1853 ~housekeepers and
stewards-has the Dingley law raised
their pay? How many of the 4,766, 900
people in trade and transportation
have received a cent from Uncle Sam?
There were 630,127 clerks, 254,S8
bookkeepers, Gil, 139 statesmen and the
582,150 railroad employees, all paying
their share of tariff taxes, but receiv-
ing no benefit in return.
Now we come to the T,0S5, 900 per
SON employed in manufacturing pur-
SUITS" about one-fourth of the whole
number Of workers. But a very large
proportion of these derive no benefit
from the tariff, for the GAG, 1874 dress
makers, the 229, $40 t~ailors, the 600,-
900 carpenters, without taking time to
select thousands more, cannot be said
to have any advantage from the tariff.

the rate of duty is often higher on the
cheaper goods, and yet the protection
lists say the tariff is to protect labor.
But what Uncle Sam receives is a
small tax compared to what the trusts
charge each family through the pro-
lection the tariff gives them, which is
computed by the most expert statistl-
clans to be for 1902 1914 for each fam
lily, or nearly six times as much as the
government takes in at the custom
houses.
No wonder the cost Of living is high
and that those with small incomes find
it difficult to pay this monstrous tax
which the republican policy Of high
protection imposes. We might stand

Ii some places IN the delta serious
consideration is being given to the
proposition to import Italian labor
srs to work on the large plantations.
FOR many years the planters of the
delta have not been able to get
enough labor to work their broad
acres, and while a large majority
Oh the negroes of the State are con-
centrated In the delta, yet the sup
ply does not seem to be equal to the
heavy demand. Those who have
nad experience in working negroes
on large plantations say that they
need some kind Of a stimulant to
make them work their best. For
some years it has been noted that
the free labor in those neighbor-
hoods where some of the plantations
have been worked by convict labor
have done a great deal better than In
sections where the free labor has had
no such stimulus. This is accounted
for on the ground that where men
have competition they strive to do
their best and where they have a
cinch they are inclined to take
things easy. 1T is believed that If a
considerable number of Italians were
put to work in the delta that they
would serve to stimulate the negroes
to their best effort. No one who has
given the matter any consideration
seems to think that it would be a
good idea to mix the Italians and
the negroes on the same farm, for it
is believed that there would be more
or less friction all the time, as the
Italians are said to have as intense
race prejudice as any of the other
white races. The importation of
Italian laborers has not got beyond
the point where it is being discussed.
None of the large planters have
made any move to bring any of this
class of workmen to the delta, and it
may be several years before a serious
move is made in this direction.
Among some of the big planters
there is serious opposition to import
ing Italians. They say that it would
lead to endless trouble, while others
look on the proposition with a con-
siderable amount of favor Labor in
the delta is short and has been for a
number of years. If there was
plenty CT it, there is no telling how
much cotton and corn would be
raised in that section of the State,
for there is lots of idle land there
now which is not being worked be-
cause there is not sufficient labor to
properly cultivate it. In time the
delta planters may be forced to add
to the supply of labor, and the 1tal'
ians, coming from a hot climate, are
said to be the best suited for work
i'll the Southern fields. Certain it
is, it will be many years before any
large number of Italians will be m
ployed as farm laborers in Missis-
sippi.
