WILMINGTON, N. C.
Saturday Morning, Feb. 1-i, 1891.
THE SUBSIDY FRAUD.
The treaty with Brazil whereby
reciprocity is established between
this country and that, with the pro
bability of similar treaties with other
South American and Central Ameri
can countries, will give a stimulus,
doubtless, to the ship subsidy move
ment, and will be used as an argu
ment to prove the necessity of more
ships to meet the demands of the in
creased trade with these countries,
which will follow as a result of these
treaties. The impression is, and it
is a very natural one, that this will
open up a pretty wide field for
American goods, and that there will
be a large demand for American
goods. What this trade may amount
to must at present be a matter of
mere speculation, but the fact that
Brazil buys $20,000,000 worth of
cotton goods from England and that
we buy $50,000,000 worth of coffee
from Brazil shows that it is' no small
thing.
According to Secretary Blaine's
figures the total imports of Brazil
annually amount to $58,635,182.46,
of which only $5,430,532 come from
the United States, as against $53,
.204,650.40 from other counties.
Heretofore we have been paying
cash for the coffee and other articles
we imported; henceforth we should
be able to pay for a very large part,
if not all, in the products of our soil,
shops and manufactories. The ship
which brings us a cargo of coffee
from Brazil should carry back to
Brazil a cargo of American products
in exchange.
The verv agency which pulled
down the tariff wall which kept
American products out of their mar
kets instead of furnishing a plea for
subsidies will prove an agency for
building up a merchant marine with
out subsidies. If American enter
prise unhampered with restrictions
that have heretofore" weighed it
down forges to the front in Brazil
and other countries where the re
strictions may be removed, Ameri
can enterprise will prove equal to
supplying the ships to carry cargoes
to and from those ports, either on
. American bottoms or in ships hired
on the other side of the water, as
many of our shippers do now.
When reciprocity with Brazil was
adopted, it was one step, and a long
one, taken towards the building up
of ocean carriers, by the removal of
certain trade restrictions which,
while they existed made profitable
or extensive trade impossible.
Now that this has been done the
next thing that sound policy and
common sense demands, if they
would encourage the building of
American ships or the ownership of
ships by Americans, would be to
modify the tariff on those materials
which are used in the construction
, " --------------SSsssnsSSSlS """i
of shiDS so that Americans could af
ford to build ships for ocean freight
age, or if they will not do this let
them repeal the absurd shipping
laws so that an American who wants
to run ships can buy them,
or have them built where he
can buy them cheapest or
have them built the cheapest. It was
this monstrous tariff and these ab
surd shipping laws which reduced
our merchant marine to a cypher by
making it impossible to" build ships
to take tfae place of the vessels which
became unfit for the service to com
pete with foreign ships, or to buy
ships in foreign shipyards. If they
will do this, or either one of these
(better the former than the latter be
cause that would be a powerful in
centive to the building of American
ships,) there will be no need of sub
sidies. But they will not do that for the
reason that the high tariff beneficia
ries would sing out in chorus against
it and the subsidy beggars would
prefer high-priced ships with subsi
dies to low-priced ships without
them.
Let this subsidy policy once be es
tablished and it will grow and reach
out into the coming years, and when
the period contemplated by the sub
sidy bill expires the demand for sub
sidies will be as importunate or even
more so than it is now, just as the
demand for a high protective tariff
is stronger and more importunate
now than it was when the protective
policy was first entered upon. Sub
sidies will beget a greed for more,
larger and continued subsidies, as
protection has begotten the greed
for more and perpetual protection.
It is easier to never begin subsidies
than to stop them when once begun.
MINOR MENTION.
A few days ago the Baltimore Sun
published, under the head of its
Washington correspondence, a letter
purporting to be written by Mr.
Henry Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, under date of No
vember 21st, 1890, to Gov. Hill, of
New York, advising him to "make
peace" with Cleveland,' lead the New
York delegation in the National
Convention, nominate Cleveland and
thus clear the way for his own nom
ination and election in 1896, in pur
suance of which Gov. Hill made
"peace." Wnen his attention was
called to it Gov. Hill denied tne re
ceipt of such letter, expressed the
opinion that it must have been a
forgery, and further remarked
that Mr. Watterson was in
capable of addressing such an
impertinent and insulting let
ter to him. That's the way it
looked to us when we read it, but
the Washington correspondent of
the Sun reiterates the statement
that Mr. Watterson did write the
letter whether it was received bv
Gov. Hill or not. It is a little re
markable that a letter written to as
prominent perso'n as Gov. Hill, and
mailed in the city of Louisville on
the 21st of November, should have
miscarried and turned up in Wash
ington and found its way into print
in a Baltimore paper on February
11th, 1891. The Sun is a very care
ful and a very correct paper, which
would not knowingly publish a letter
like that for a sensation, and yet
notwithstanding the insistance of
the correspondent on its genuine
ness we can't believe that Mr. Wat
terson wrote it.
Us
Representative Cooper, Democrat,
of Indiana, seems to keep a pretty
sharp eye on the pension office. It
was he that spotted Commissioner
Raum and exposed that refrigerator
business, and the fact that Raum was
borrowing large sums of money on
the endorsement of Pension Agent
Lemon, which gave ground for the
charge that Raum as Commissioner
gave preferences to Lemon in the
prosecution of his claims. Accord
ing to Mr, Cooper, the Superin
tendent of. the Pension building is
also of the thrifty order of men, runs
a potato store house in part of the
building, where he sells potatoes
and finds his customers among the
employes. That's not so bad as the
refrigerator business, for the em
ployes can eat the potatoes, which
are good food if they are good po
tatoes, but it is taking a short turn
on the Government as he don't pay
rent for his store house and a short
turn on the city of Washington, as
he don't pay a license to sell pota
toes, both of which he should do if
he continues in the business.
Mr. Cleveland's anti-free-coinage
letter occupied the attention of some
of the gentlemen in the lower House
of Congress Thursday.Mr.Grosvenor,
Rep., of Ohio, being so well pleased
with it that he had it read for te
purpose of making it a part of the
Congressional record, which shows
to what wide and diversified uses the
publication "known as the Coheres
sional Record may be put. That let
ter had no more right to go there
than one of Mr. Cleveland's after
dinner speechs would have had. This
is the beginning of what will, in all
probabiiity prove a pretty lively
racket between this and the meeting
of the next National Democratic
Convention, and in the Convention,
too. It was a pretty bold letter for
Mr. Cleveland to write, and some
people may think a pretty rash one,
in view of his prominence and his
almost universal endorsement by the
Democracy of the country as its next
candidate for the Presidency. It
gives his opponents, whether they
be few or many, an issue on which
to fight him, of which they will not
be slow to take advantage.
It is said that a reciprocity agree
ment similar to that -made with
Brazil has been made with Vene
zuela, and that proclamation of this
fact will soon be made. We
have imports from that country
amounting to $10,000,000 an
nually, while our exports do
riot amount to more than one
third of that. This will open up to
American enterprise another country
from which it was practically de
barred by the tariff restrictions,
which gave European competitors
all the advantage. As Brazil and
Venezuela lead the way, the other
South and Central American coun
tries will doubtless follow in a short
time.
STATE TOPICS.
An unusually large business has
been done in Eastern North Carolina
the past fall and this winter in the
purchase of horses and mules for use
on our farms. In some localities the
purchases were the heavt ever
known. This fact is not so remark
able as the other fact that nearly all
these animals are brought in from
other States, and that the money
paid for them, a very large sum in
the aggregate, goes out to other
States. We saw a statement in some
of our Eastern exchanges some time
ago that one car-load of these horses
and mules were North Caroli
na stock raised in the Western
part of this State, but only one,
It is very singular considering the
demand there is in Eastern North
Carolina and further South for
horses and mules, that so little at
tention is given to the raising of
them, and that our planters are al
most entirely dependent upon the
pastures of other States for their
supplies when our own State is so
well adapted to stock raising, as has
been fully demonstrated by those
who have engaged in it. We can
grow grass, clover, corn and oats as
well as Virginia, Tennessee or Ken
tucky, and yet we go on year after
year buying thousands of horses and
mules from those States, which
should be raised on our own lands
and the money paid for which could
and should be kept at home,

Whit Republicans in North

with being far interior to them in

they state that the black "man and

to selling his vote for small change.
Taking into account the Republican
platform claims that the races are

THE WATTERSON LETTER.
Which Gov. Hill Says He Never Received.
"Courier-Journal Office, Lou
isville, Nov. 21, 1890. My Dear
Sir: I take leave to address you this
letter as One of some millions of
Democrats who have never sought
or held office, and who could not be
induced to do so.; but who are deep
ly concerned in the party welfare,
and who believe you to hold the key
to it. Outside of the State of New
York there is a well-nigh unanimous
demand among the rank and file of
Democrats for the nomination of
Mr. Cleveland. This is too strong
for the party leaders and managers
to resist. I think I have some influ
ence in Kentucky. But on that point
I should be overwhelmed in a State
convention. If you should come to
a National Convention with a New
York delegation solid against it you
would be overwhelmed. You are
powerless to prevent it. But you
can defeat the election of the ticket.
"There are Democrats in our part
of the Union who believe that you
did this in 1888. I know that to be
false. I know exactly what hap
pened, and I have steadily defended
you in public and in private. But it
will cling to you as long as you live
even as the bargain, intrigue and
corruption story clung to Clay and
will meet you in every national con
vention, if it be not dissipated by
some act on your part great enough
to blot it out. In default of this, if
you have any hope of the presidency
it will defeat that.
"My judgment is clear that, if you
could reconcile it with your judg
ment and feeling to make peace with
Mr. Cleveland and to take a delega
tion to the National Convention in
1892 to put him in nomination, you
will save the party and place your
self upon an elevation you can never
attain if you fail to do it. You would
be received by the country with en
thusiasm; be accepted at once as a
Warwick, and I do not see how you
could be kept out of the succession.
On the other hand, even if you suc
ceeded in defeating the nomination
of Mr. Cleveland, you will stand
upon sinister and dangerous ground,
with a stormy future before you.
"These are plain words, and I
have no relations with you which
give me the right to offer you coun
sels. They may be disagreeable
words, and I have no desire to ob
trude upon privacy. But they are
true words, and I claim the right of
a Democrat who has some know
ledge of the country at large, and
has given some proof of intelligent
devotion to the party interests to
ignore ceremony and to send them
to you.
. "In conclusion, let me say that I
shall, in any event, be glad to know
you better, and that, meanwhile, I
am, most sincerely, your friend,
"Henry Watterson.

POLITICAL POINTS.
Two men in Baltimore have
wagered $500 on the result of the Presi

will be unanimous long before the next
Presidential election day rolls around.

NEW HANOVER'S HONOR.
Sketch of Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy of the
District of New Hanover and Pender.
Raleigh .Capital.
No one who has attended the ses
sions of the Senate could fail to be
impressed with the sturdy manhood,
the ability and versatility of the
young man who there represents the
district composed of the counties of
New Hanovexand Pender, John D.
Bellamy, Jr., who is .recognized as a
leader on the Democratic side.
Mr. Bellamy was born in Wilming
ton, N. C, March 24th, 1854. He was
educated at Cape Fear Military
Academy; at Davidson College,
where he graduated with the degree
of A. B. in 1873; and at the Univer
sity of Virginia, graduating in sev
eral schools in 1874, and graduating
with the degree of Bachelor of Law
in 1875, which profession he has
since practiced with marked success,
now having one of the largest and
most lucrative practices in the
State.
Mr. Bellamy possesses marked lit
drary talent and is the author of the
"Life of Gen. Robert Howe," a bio
graphical sketch of merit read be
fore the Historical Society of Wil
mington. For a number of years he was the
attorney of Brunswick county and
the city of Wilmington.
He has never held or been a can
didate before for a political office,
and is the first Democratic Senator
of New Hanover and Pender for
nearly twenty years, and the first
having a majority of the popular
vote since the war. He has been
chairman of the Democratic Execu
tive Committee of his county, on the
District Executive Committee, and
on the State Executive Committee
for several years.
Mr. Bellamy is largely identified
with the business interests of Wil
mington, being regarded as one of
the most progressive and enterpris
ing citizens of that city. He is the
president and largest owner of stock
in the Wilmington Street Railway
Company; president of the Indus
trial Manufacturing Company; and
one of the founders of the Building
and Loan Associations of Wilming-'
ton, being a director in two, the at
torney for two others, and was one
of the promoters of the Carolina
Fire Insurance Company.
Mr. Bellamy is a prominent Knight
of Pythias and is the present Grand
Warden of the I. O. O. F. of North
Carolina.
As a speaker Mr. Bellamy is clear,
terse and forcible, often eloquent
and always ready. He has delivered
several of the ablest speeches of this
session. They showed careful pre
paration and a complete mastery of
his subject. He is free from gush
and demagoguery and his positions
are always taken from the high plane
of the merits of the question.
Mr. Bellamy is distinctly an honor
to his district and to his State, and
high honors are awaiting him.
