ship subsidy HilI.

New York, Nov. 21.-At the ma
val architects banquet $50 members
were present and listened to addresses
by Senator Jacob II. Gallinger OF New
Hampshire. Rear Admiral Robley ID.
Evans and others. Senator Gallinger
spoke in favor of the ship subsidy bill
and the rehabilitation OF the American
merchant marine He said In part:
1T Is matter of shame to every
American. when he recalls the con.
ditlon OF the American merchant ma.
rinc to-day. About the only craft that
carry the flag is battleship or yacht
belonging to II millionaire. President
Roosevelt said that something must
be done to rehabilitate the merchant
service, and congress appointed COM
mittce. and | am especially glad to
speak of the work OF that committee.
We need sailors even for battleships
The Frye-lIanna bill provides for n
subsidy OF S. per ton for vessels en-
gagged in foreign trades for twelve
months. In return, these vessels may
be taken for the defense of the United
States. One OF the big metropolitan
dailics has recently said such bin
would put tax burden of from $751;
100000 to $2O,0OO.00O on the people
Gentlemen, the tonnage dues and the
carrying of the mails, these two items
alone, would make the cost OF this bill
not in excess Of $l,O00.O00 the first
year.
THE shipping Is the only industry
that is unprotected, and every other
nation is granting subsidies to Its mer.
chant marine Its Is the duty OF the
government TO extend its protection
from the land to the sea. There is
Il necessity of providing means to take
advantage of your opportunities In the

Washington. Nov. 2l.-Thc price OF
silver has risen to such an extent In
the markets of the world that the bull

worth more than the face value Of the
coin.
Preparations are now being made by
the Chinese and others In the Philip

Owing to the rise in the price there
was grave danger Of practically all OF

the Philippine commission has enact
