Merchant Marine and Ship
Subsidy

Dear Sir:-I have not fully understood the true
meaning of Merchant Marine and "Ship Sub
sidy'. Would you please define in brief the two
in your weekly JeffersOnian?
Respectfully, o. A. JACOBS.
Loganville, Georgia, Rt. f.
ANSWER.
(1) By Merchant Marine, is meant those
steamers and sailing vessels which carry
freight and passengers on deep water. The
term distinguishes commercial ships from
qU0r-VeSSeIs
When an American editor writes about
"favoring our Merchant Marine, there is no
more meaning in his language than there
would be, were he to say that he favored
American newspapers, saw-mills, horses and
mules.
Of course, every citizen of America favors
our Merchant Marine, just as we favor any
thing else that belongs to us and is useful
to us.
(2) By Ship Subsidy, is meant the taking
of money, or other thing of value, from the
national resources, and givirog 1t to the oacner
Of a ship as "a gracious gift''.
The Hannacrat Republicans wish to do
nate to certain steamship companies a por-
ton of our postal revenues taking, for
the benefit of few, the funds which belong
to all of us.
This they propose to do under the false

the life and private happiness Of our
citizenship has been held too cheaply
and owing to ineffective control OF the
contagious and infectious disease now
existing within the city limits, have
resulted IN harmful and greatly exag-
gearted rumors and reports being
spread abroad, which have put the city
in false light before the state and
adjoining municipalities.
That it is advisable and opportune
that the citizens be fully informed as
to the true state OF health and dis
ease by the health officials Of the city
and that public meeting Of the citi-
zens should be held and their support
be secured In furthering the efforts OF
the city and county physicians and to
urge the city council to take the neces-
sary action to at once control such
contagious and infectious disease.
Whereas, 1t is the common knowl-
edge Of the medical profession that
with the active, earnest and united ef.
Tort on the part Of the city council,
Chamber Of Commerce and citizens of
the town the present contagious dis
ease can be readily controlled and
stamped out within a reasonably
short time. Therefore be it
Resolved, That copy Of this state
ment be published N the daily papers
OF the city and that the propet Au
thorities, above cited, be urged to act
upon the suggestions herein set forth
