y..-. .- BJBJpBSBBBjaaaSjBjBfSjiiSjBjtjttBlBBtt L BY WILLIAM H. BfiKNARD. WILiMIMUTUa. JS C. Thursday Mo aires g, Feb. 14. "A DISASTROUS 1XPEEIMEJJT Aa far as we know Senator Mc Laurin, of South Carolina, is the only Senator calling himself a Dem ocrat who favors the Hanna ship subsidy scheme, and he is obliged to nnfflsa that the bill doesn't meet hia fall approval, bat he supports it because some cotton spinners in the South in convention expressed them selves in favor-of government aid to a merchant marine. That, accord ing to Senator McLaurin, offsets whatever defects there may, in his opinion, be in the Frje-Payne, or as it is morrfrequentiy and doubtless more correctlv called, the Hanna bill. By aligning himself with Hanna and company and against his Democratic colleagues, and bis Dem ocratic constituency, Senator Mc Laurin has achieved some temporary notoriety, has elicited a vote of prac tical censure from the Legis lature of his own btate, and some attention from the Democratic papers of the country, South and North, some of which show how much in error he is in taking it for granted that Hanna's grab will help the cotton growers, or manufacturers of the South, or help the South in any way. Yesterday we published an extract from a letter of the Washington cor respondent of the Atlanta Constitu Hon showing what precious little .prospect there is of Southern sea ports benefitted by the proposed subsidies. The Philadelphia Record takes Senator McLaurin in hand'to show him how little the cotton - -growing industry of the South needs subsidized Bhips, and consequently how little it would be benefitted by . it, and proceeds thus : Daring the past calender year the exaorts of raw cotton amounted to 6,671.561 bales, of the value of $311,252,586. This is nearly 1 000.000 bales and over $1,000,000 000 in excess of the nernres of cottoa exports for the calendar year 1899. It would appear from this that the cottoa expor s of the South have small need of a subsidy stimulus. Qreat Britain suads at the head of the list of the foreign consum era of these enormous cotton exoorts, ha vine paid for them $112,090,393 las-, year. Germ an v comes next as a pur chaser ($78,473,376). and France next (130.181,055). Japan consumed South era cottoa to the value of $9,073000 last year. "The largest portion of this Amer iean cittou. was carried away in the ships of the edun tries which consume it Very little of it was transported by fast mail steamers. Its carriers were tramp ships, which receive no bounty or. favoritism from any Gov eminent, and eagerly compete with "each other for freights. Is there any system so likely as this to cheapen rates of transportation for cotton? "But," exclaim, the subsidy mon gers, ''the American poole pay for eign ship owners $200,000,000 a year for carrying: -their ocean freight I" While this has been exposed over and over again as a gross exaggeration, the . questions recur: Who pay the freights on the enormous volume of experts from the United States the producers or the foreign consumers t Who pay for the ship ments of Southern cotton the plant ers or the manufacturers of Eagland, France and Germany, and their cus tomers throughout the world t Sen ator McLaurin says that the 8 -uth is now producing one-third of the whole exports of the country, and for this reason American ships should be sub sidized to carry these exports. That is to say, a Government system should be adopted to take away from foreign ers their share in carrying away the American products of farm and work shop which they consume. So far as Southern cotton planters are concern ed this would be apt to prove a most disastrous experiment.". If there were not Bhips enough to carry our cotton to the foreign mar kets, and our planters Buffered loss from deficient transportation, there might be some consistency and some excuse for the position taken by Senator McLaurin and those whom he represents, but that is not -the oase, for our cotton handlers have always been able to secure prompt and abundant transportation, save while so many vessels were taken into the service of the British Gov ernment to transport troops aud war supplies to South Africa. This caused a temporary shortage of ves sels and an advance' in freight charges, but there was nothing lika a clog in the cotton shipments. Comparatively cramped as the ser vice was last year, transportation was found for 6,671,561 bales, about two-thirds of the crop. Another point worthy of note in this connection is that while the cotton crop has steadily increased from year to year, until, it is three times as large as it was a quarter of a century ago, the transportation has more than kept pace with the pro duction, so that planters of tho South have no more trouble in finding trans portation for their large crops now than they did for their small crops some years ago. The ships that are built and owned abroad, while they sail under the flags of the respective countries in which they are owned, practically belong to the world and go under orders and contract all over the world, from any port in the world to any port in; the world. They are the common carriers of the seas just as a; railroad is a com mon carrier on land. Their busi ness is to earn money, and they compete with each other to earn it, thus giving the commerce of the world as good service as can be secured by competition. . : As a matter of national pride every American would like to see a splendid American merchant marine, but as a matter of business he shonld also desire to see a merchant marine owned by men who would compete with each other for cargoes, not onlv with each, other hut with the ship ownera of other, countries, thus giving our shippers the benefit nf th ftheaDest transportation. This they might get from nnsubsidized ships but not from the subsidized, for these subsidised ship owners would form themselves into a coles sal combine to control the business, or they would by mutual agreement divide the trade between them so as not to conflict with each other. Be tween these with their subsidies thev would have the advantage of the nnsubsidized foreigner and would eventually drive him into other waters, giving them practical control of our shipping business, an 1 then with foreign competition out of the way how would onr ship pers and our cotton growers fare? Would they have any better service or would their cotton cross the seas for less money? Not much. BEGINNING 10 v NDE&STAYD IT. Intelligent Northern people who give any thought to the suffrage question in the South are beginning to understand it and view it very differently now from what they did a few years ago. It is somewhat re markable, too, that some of the plainest utterances for and strong est defences of qualified suffrage,' that which eliminates the mass of ignorant and vicious negroes, have been made in Boston and other New England centers of abolition- ism where years ago ic was con tended that the negro, the "man and brother." as they were wont to call him, was in every respect the equal of the white man and entitled to all the rights and privileges of the white man. This idea grew un til it ceased to be confined to the New England. Stas, for it took possession of the Republican party and became the inspiration of the suffrage and civil rights legislation. Kev. Livman Abbott delivered a lecture in Boston a few nights ago on "A Study of the. Problems of Democracy," incidentally alluding to the suffrage question in the South, in whioh he is thus substan tially quoted in a press dispatch: "The result of the universal suffrage was to give political power to a great body of ex slaves without previous training or education and with out political capacity. ine car pet bag government notoriously failtd to protect person, property, reputa tion or family The South engaged in a revoluiion for the purpose of overthrowing it. The bottom of so ciety never ought to govern the top, and it would govern the top if polit ical power was conferred upon a great body of ignorant and incompetent voters. Dr. Abbott declared that the North ought to sympathize with the end which toe South had in view. He applauded the attempts in recent years to have the better element govern the South. The fact that the negroes, emerging from a oOriitinn r.f absolute poverty, own ab rat $300,000,000 wonh of personal and real ette, con clusively shows that their personal and property rights are in the many well protected. The further fact that the South expends about $40.000,000 an nu ally in school funds, of which sum the negroes contribute one thirieth. shows conclusively that the South desires the education of the negro. "There should be drawn." con tinued Dr Abbitt, "not a color or race line, but a character line. Booker T. Washington should not be refused a ballot because bis face is black. when an ignorant, incompetent. drunken white man is allowed the right of suffrage. Manhood must come first, suffrage afterward. 1 regret the recrudescence of bar birism in the operation of lynch law. nut with lynctungs in Ohio, with a Kansas woman smashing saloons in Topafca and another woman demol ishiog drug stores in Chicago we must realm that this evil is not dis tinctly Southern." The scope and intent of negro en franchisement in theNSouth was to put the "bottom rail" on top not to benefit the negro, for the men who concocted that kind of legisla tion knew better than that, but to help the Republican party and en able it to hold the power that was slipping from its grasp. There are few sensible people, not actuated by partisan motives, jwho wouldow contend that the bottom rail slfculd be on top. 1 Mr. Barrett, . former minister to Siam, predicts that the next big war will be between Japan and Russia, and that Japan will whip because she has the best navy and "the best equipped nd the most able of all the armies in the world." This looks like some exaggeration but there is foundation for the tri bute to Japan. Cold Steel or Death.

OX Baantsa ' MS) ma lsa nzn vjajs oagj FIGHTING THE FILIPINOS AND NATURE, TOO. It isn't the Filipinos only that I onr soldiers in the Philippines have to fight, but nature, too, wbicn is more destructive than bullets. We have had numerous reports of the casualties by death and disease, but here is the latest authentic one, from Col. Charles P. Greenleaf, chief sur geon of the army of occupation After stating that there are 375 gar risons in the islands, necessitating a larger medical force than would be necessary if the troops were more concentrated, he says: "The 'sick reports' show that for seven months, from January 1, 1900, to July 31. 1000, the ratio ofaVnon effectives' averaged 8.84 per cent. Iu June. 1900. when the strength of the army was 63,284. the number of 'non effectives' was 5 563. or 8 79 per cent. In January, 1900, the total : strength was 63.428. and the number of 'non- effectives' was 5.590. or 8 81 per cent. Intestinal diseases (including typhoid fever) cause 85 per cent, of the total disabilities, malaria! fever 23 per cent. and wounds about 10 sr cent. It is estimated that 44 - per cent, of the total non-effective force suf fers from disease which is prevent able by improved sanitation. All sickness in the Philippines, as in other troDical countries, produces an effect on the general economy, says Colonel Ureenlear, that does not follow sim liar oiw& lAtrBa in uis tcuiiomo iqiiuu aaPDing vital forces which are not res tored by natural processes, ine enct of illness is cumulative, the patieut becoming disabled permanently. A oaiient suffering from malaria is sometimes cured by removal to a san itary point in the island, but even after ' recovering reinfection with malaria frequently follows, and in many instances the man either dies or has to be invalided home. Kbeuma- tism is practically incurable, while complete recovery from intestinal diseases is a rare exception. Continuing be remarks that the ratio of deaths from disease com pared with deaths from wounds is as three to one, and the mortality from disease is 26.7 per thousand per annum, instead of getting better be says it will get worse, for "as time progresses and the men become more debilitated by tropical service the more marked will become the ratio of deaths. The non-preventable diseases will become more severe in type and more intractable." This is not a very cheerful out look, even if we succeed in subju gating the Filipinos, or in seducing them into taking the oath of alle giance, lor a big army will be neces sary for an "indefinite period," as Senator Carter expressed it, or for "a loDg time," as General MacAr- thur expressed it, to garrison the islands! to hold the disorderly or pugnacious elements down. And the implacable and insatiable reaper, death, will demand his victims right along, and in greater number than now. What an awful price we are paying f or"benevolent assimilation," or grab.

Ar gentina is also a large buyer. These two facts are significant, and ought to interest the American farmer. The sale of these implements . ii means money - in ine pocxet oi ine American makers, but it also means money eventually ont of the pocket of the American farmer, for Southern Russia and Argentina are the Ameri can farmer's coming competitors, and when they are furnished with Amer ican farm implements and learn how to use them their competition, will become formidable, and at no dis tant day either, judging from the progress made in both of those coun tries, and the rapidity with which Southern Siberia is becoming popu lated.
