THE SHIP SUBSIDY STEAL.
Great Pressure Being Brought on Con.
sress to Pass the Measure.

The ship subsidy grafters are max
Ing bold attempt to pass an amend
Led bill through the house Of represent
atiyes as substitute for the bill which
passed the senate at the last session
providing for subsidy 70 ships, Of
Which the steamship trust will be the
principal beneficiary. Thesa subsidy
hunters are certainly the most persist
ent applicants for government bounty
movers in forcing the passage of this
subsidy bill have claim on many Re
publican statesmen, for Senator Han
ma when chairman Of the Republican
national committee promised Griscom
of the American Steamship line that
the subsidy bill should be passed in
consideration Of large subscription to
the Republican campaign fund in 1898.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Bah
cock, who was then chairman Of the
Republican congressional committee,
Informed President Mckinley near the
close Of that campaign that the Repub-
leans would lose control Of congress
unless there was money provided to
"take care" of the doubtful districts.
Senator Hanna was called into the con-
ference, and the Doodle fund was pro-
vided. Senator Hanna tried faithfully
to carry out his promise to pass the
subsidy bill, but the fear Of rebuke by
the people prevented its passage
through the house. In every congress
since that time the effort to pass the
bill has been repeated, and President
Roosevelt has recommended its pas
sage. probably because he feels that
the Republican party Is in honor bound
to carry out the promise made by its
chairman for value received.
But the ship subsidy schemers are
not relying solely upon the good faith
Of the Republican politicians to get
return for their investment In Repub-
lican politics with a thousandfold in
terest, but are now busily engaged in
obtaining promises from Republican
congressman to vote for the bill
Speaker Cannon prevented the bill
from being considered by the house at
the last session Of congress, for which
he is entitled to the thanks Of the tax
payers, and If he persists in this good
work the subsidy schemers may yet
be defeated. To sugar coat the bitter
pill to better suit the public taste the
subsidy grafters have renamed their
offspring "subvention" instead Of sub
sidy, but that will hardly fool the peo'
pie who will be taxed to pay the bill.
The Democrats are united against
the steal, and many honest Republic
ans will also oppose it, and If the pres
ident will keep his hands off the ship
subsidy schemers will again be dis
comfited and right will prevail over
wrong and political corruption will be
again rebuked.

STAND PAT DILEMMA.
Cannon and His Cohorts Must Soon
Face the German Tariff Question.

If President Roosevelt really wants
to arrange our tariff difficulties with
Germany, which will come to a climax
in June, it will be necessary for him
to call special session of congress.
The present congress is so tightly in
the grasp Of the stand patters that 1t
evidently does not intend to even dis
cuss any tariff matter, although an at
tempt to compromise the tariff diff
Guilty with Germany would seem to be
imperative. The German government
has suggested way to escape revis-
ing our tariff, but it will hardly be any
more welcome to the trusts and COM
blnes that control congress than a
general revision of rates. 1t Is pro-
posed to allow German exporters to
fix the price Of their exports and thus
reduce the ad valOrem rates Of duty,
which are assessed upon the actual
value of the goods at the time Of eX
port Such concession would be open
to constant friction and might be made
to encourage gross frauds.
England, France and other countries
would very naturally object to such
Partially for Germany and would de-
mand similar rights for their exporters
The modus vivendi with Canada on the
tariff rates on the products Of the New
foundland fisheries also expires in a
few months and unless adjusted will
work serious harm to our New England
fishing interests. So to continue to
stand pat means to injure our own
people, and yet that is the Republican
doctrine that is being carried out.
But is it likely that when the Six
rieth congress meets. either in special
session or at the regular session next
December, it will be any more will
ing to go into tariff revision than
the present congress is? The stand
patters will still control the organiza-
ton, and undoubtedly Speaker Cannon
will be reelected. This extraordinary
programme Of party subservience to
trust greed will at least open the eyes
of those Republican voters who were
deceived by promises Of tariff revision,
and when the pinch comes from the
prohibitive rates of the German tariff
against our agricultural products 1t
should lead many voters to the Demo
cratic side of the fence.
