AFBALD OF SUBSIST SCHEME-
It ia said that Senators Frye and
Hanna have another ship subsidy
bill worked up different in some re
spects" from the bill which got hung
npinthe Senate last year, in re
rising they hare tried to eliminate
the features of the first bill which
met so much objection. What the
provisions of the new bill are is not
ret definitely known because Messrs.
Frye and Hanna have declined to
give it to the public before tney are
ready to introduce it in Congress,
but it is intimated that they have
made large concessions to -the oppo
sition and that the new bill will be
materially different from the old
one. They may think it prudent
to keep the provisions of the new
bill from the public until they are
ready to spring it on Congress, for
the less it is discussed the more the
chanoe it will' stand of passing,
for popular sentiment, especially
;n tVa Was. is aeainst that
iu vuv r r - a
scheme, and when it comes un
der discussion the gentlemen in
Congress would soon begin to
hear from their constituents and
learn how they stand on that ques
tion. As we see it, the chances for
passing any kind of a ship subsidy
bill ought to be less now than when
the Frye-Payne bill was first intro
duced in the last Congress, for our
ship builders are all busy now, the
tonnage turned out the past year
is greater 'than in any preceding
year and in addition to that old
yards haive been enlarged and new
ones started of projected not simply
for buSdingTake and coast vessels,
but ocean-going ships.
The old bill provided subsidies
for foreign built ships, purchased
within a given time, but on. condi
tion that an equal amount of ton
nage be built in American yards, the
subsidy to be withhld until the
American ships had been built.
There was so much opposition to
this provision, coming presumably
from American ship builders, that
it is understood that it has been
eliminated from the new bill. But the
advocates of a merchant marine
who are thinking more of a mer
chant marine than of subsidies,
regard that as one of the most com
mendable features of the old bill,
contending that if the purchaser of
foreign built Bhips be not encour
aged the establishment of a mer
chant marine will be much delayed
because for several years to come
the prospect is that our ship yards
will be kept so busy building Gov
ernment vessels, and others that
may be wanted for speoial service,
that they can do but little work in
they got the orders. It is said that
it would be five or six years before
our yards would be prepared to en
ter actively upon the work of filling
orders for vessels for the new mer
chant marine.
In the meantime foreign yards
will continue building as they are
now 'doing and will have added
many thousands to the tonnage of
their fleets, and make that much
more competition for the Amer
ican ships that may be put afloat.
It' will then be a question with
the. Ameiican shipper of not
what flag the ship flies, but
what ship would give him the cheap
est rates, the probabilities being
that fire or six years hence, with
the wxnid's increased tonnage, rates
will be cheaper than they are now.
If the difference between Amerioan
and European rates is to be made
up by subsidieswhat does the Amer
ican shipper (who in this case means
the American farmer and producer
of exportable commodities) profit by
it for.he will be simply paying in
subsidies what he saves in freight,
if he fates anything.
There is some difference of opin
ion as to whether any kind of a sub
sidy bill can be passed through Con
gress, as a good many r of the Con
gressmen and Senators, especially
from the West, are quite indifferent
about it, while Sonle of them would
like to see it quietly shoved away
in a pigeon hole and permitted to
sleep undisturbed. This Is especially
true of Brepresentatives and Sena
tors from the agricultural " States
who do not see where their consti
tuents who find no difficulty in get
ting, all the transportation they
need for for their products will be
benefitted by subsidized American
ships.
If they consent to discuss the
measure at all it is 'said they will
insist that the subsidy be based on
tonnage regardless of speed or the
capacity of the ship, their Idea be
ing that the kind of a merchant
inartne needed is moderate sized
freight carriers similar to the ordi
nary iramp, which now does so
much 'of the world's ocean business.
They are right in this if subsidies
are to be granted at all. ; As an illus
tration; England, the ' great com
mercial and maritime nation,' has
ten tramps or ordinary freight snips
to the one high priced vessel, and it
is these that carry her commerce
over the world and give her her
boasted supremacy on the seas. j
These are the common carriers of
the ocean; 'and that's the kind of
ships that we need. Vessels of this
class could be operated at a profit
where large, high priced ships re
quiring large crews would become.
bankrupt. The ordinary freighter
could pick up a cargo in almost Any
of our ports, while the large ships
would have to depend on our great
ports for their cargoes.
These are the kind of vessels the
South is especially interested in,
for these are the kind that would
contribute most to the building up
of her export and import trade,
especially in the event of the con
struction of the Isthmian canal,
which ought to open up a big trade
with the countries South of us.
This is the kind of vessels needed
to carry our cotton, lumber ana
other products to foreign markets.
That isn't the kind of a merchant
marine the subsidy grabbers want,
but that is the kind of a merchant
marine the country should have
and that is the only kind that there
can be any half way decent excuse
for asking Government aid to, and
there isn't any good excuse for that
when if the restrictions were re
moved Americans would buy or
have built all of that kind there
would be any profitable use for.
FIGHTHTG TEE B.AUJLOAD fcOM
BUTE. The late railroad combine by J.
Pierpont Morgan embraces all the
trans-continental roads, with the
exception of the Canadian Paoifio.
It embraces also several of the
other leading lines east of the Mis-
a . a a m 1 ?
sissippi. Aitogeiner me comwue
so far embraces and controls nearly
45,000 miles of road, nearly one
fourth of the total mileage of the
country. But these being trunk
lines they, of course, control thous
ands of miles of tributary lines,
which are practically as much a
part of the system as if they were
actually in it. The combine can
force every one of these tributary
lines to pay tribute to it, and thus
it can make its power felt by mil
lions of people far removed from
the lines embraced in the combine.
The people of the West are appre
hensive of trouble when this com
bine becomes firmly entrenched, and
therefore a movement has been
made by Governor Van-Sant, of
Minnesota, to fight it. He has in
structed the Attorney General to
proceed against the combiners for vi
olation of the anti-consolidation
laws of Minnesota, and invites a con
ference and the co-operation of the
Governors of other Western States
which have anti-consolidation laws
similar to those of Minnesota, to
fight . this railroad trust. It is
claimed that this consolidation is an
open violation of the laws of several
of the Western ' States, a fact which
was admitted a year or more ago
when a similar movement was under
discussion, but was not then effected
for this alleged reason.
It is not surprising that the West
ern people who are almost wholly de
pendent on these lines for transpor
tation, should feel apprehensive at
the prospect of doing away with all
competition by putting all the lines
under one management, thus put
ting them completely in the power
of the managers of the combination.
The rivers would be the Only com
petitors of the combine, but when
these were ice-locked, which they
usually are before the bulk of the
'Western crops, meats, &o., are
marketed, the roads would have no
competition and could make their
own rates.
One of the combiners says the
combine "would benefit the public?
Perhaps it may, and might if the
combine were not governed by
selfishness and did not take advan
tage of its opportunity to tax the
public, but the temptation would be
great and the history of all com
bines is rathex against their showing
a spirit of benevolence or much con
sideration for the public when it is a
question of profits with them. !
On general principles monopolies
are always dangerous, and there is no
reason to believe that this late colds
sal railroad combine would be an ex
ception. ;
THE PROSPECTIVE COHBIBE. j
. The following, which we clip
from the Lincoln Journal, is Inter
esting. "We have it from the best source
that the anti-machine Democrats - of
this Congressional district will tSria
nate either Dr. Jna-H.MeAden-or
D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, for
Congress and that either onenf them
would receive the solid Republican
rote.' Blither of these gentlemen, who
are largely interested in the develop
ment of the cotton milling industries
of the South, would make an ideal
Congressman and receive the support
of that alement far-the Democratic
party xinr tbiaiUstriet -Which Is opposed
to the machine and the political va
garies it advocates."
This is the first direct Intimation
we have had of a movement to co
operate with the ' McLaurin move
ment in South Carolina. " Mr. Mc
Laurin gave it the first send-off in
the speech whioh he made at the
meeting of the Cotton Spinners'
Association in Charlotte last year.
Both of the gentlemen named in
this extract were present at this
meeting and both of tSemare in ao
cord with his views, and therefore
there is nothing improbable in the
statement by the Journal, if they
feel disposed to take an; active part
in politics and accept such a nomi
nation. - t ' .
Bnt they should tdVitimder

for that is stereotyped pretence
with those who can't control "the
machine,? and have Aspirations.
They are both men of ability,
ifcd both -claim to be Democrats,
atid yet "either accepting toh a
nominition coming in -such a way
from a comparatively small number
of "anti-machine" Democrats would
necessarily be dependent upon Be-
publican votes for an election. This
much is virtually admitted in the
statMfeht that the nominee "would
receive the solid Bepublican vote."
The Republicans tried for several
years5 to wiiTflre-Cfchgr eteibnal oVis

the Democrats by combining with
the Populists, toidVow as the Pop
ulists have played out and ceased
to be apolitical factor they are go
ing to try the effect of a combine
with theJanti-machine" Democrats.
But it will not work any better
than 'the Pop combine did. The
people will soon get to understand
these dodges.
Marion Butler told a Washington
Post scribe a few days ago that he
was "out of politics for good and
all." It may be incidentally re
marked that Marion didn't get out
of politics till he was bounced out.
He stuck while there was anything
in politics for him. But he is out
for good, for the good of the people
whom he did so much to dupe.
They would have been the gainers
by it if he had gone ont several
years sooner than he did.
As the earth passed through only
a few of the scattered Leonids this
time the impression is that the main
bunch has either been dispersed or
changed its base, and that we may
never again witness those grand
meteoric free shows. We would like
to have some sharp-viaioned, gifted
staxgazer rise and tell us what has
become of them and what they are
doing up there anyway.
Some papers in this country feel
proud over the fact that they have
lived from seventy-five to a hundred
years. That is a pretty respectable
journalistic age for this country,
but- they must sing low in the
presence of the Pekin Gazette,
"which was established eighteen
hundred years ago and is still in the
ring.

to try too many plans, to their child's
detriment.
Beware of overfeeding the baby and
ruining the digestive organs early In
life by giving them too much work to
do.
Beware of underfeeding the baby by
sticking too closely to a system laid
down in some book that dictates just
so much food at so many stated pe
riods of the day. Many children halve
grown puny and weak by being ruled
by the method that has happened to
prove successful for some other child,
Beware of breaking your promise to
children. They-often remember bettej
than you do, and a breach of faith is a
great shock to them.
Beware' of violent -noises and rough
shakings or tosslags In trying to amuse
the baby. They are hurtful to the
child and Should be avoided as much as
possible.
Beware of putting infants in a sitting
posture until they are at least 3 months
old, when they will probably sit up of
their own accord. They should be carV

such farms. The trouble is that too
many men of limited experience are
trying to get important places, posi
tions of responsibility with goodsala-
ries, while what employers want Is
good men for subordinate positions. An
other element of difficulty is in the con
dition of many of the applicants for
work. Many of them are not robust,
while employers mostly want strong
and active men who can stand any
work required of them. They want
men, too, who will be content to settle
down and learn the business thorough
ly, and this they feel sure many of the
applicants do not intend to do. There
are too many who want to work on
practical poultry farms Just long
enough to get some ideas, which to
them seem very good and complete, of
how things are done there, and then
proceed to put their inexperience into
practice on their own account. Farm
Poultry.
Slow to Realise.
