The Shp Subsidy Bill, ‘The repat of the minority of the committee on merchant marine :and fisheries thus ‘exposes the ‘actual ef- fects of the ship subsidy bill which Senator Hanna and his friends in the International Navigation «company are makitrg such strenuous efforts to get through the present «congress: A «careful examination of the terms of the bill and of the conditions of shipbuilding :and ‘shipowning, ‘as stated Oyy the commissioner of ‘navigation, thas «convinced ws that the real effect «of this bill will tnot be to encourage ithe ‘building ‘of ships which would mot dtherwise ibe built or ‘te in «crease trade, (but to further increase ithe profits ‘of ithe :already !prosper- «ous lines which without subsidy have been built or contracted for the very :ships ‘to subsidize ‘which this bill is framed. Mr. ‘Griscom in House Hearings, jpages 24 :and 25, ‘explained ‘as ‘te ships ‘which would be specially favored: “I should 'say offhand that the 14 knot :ship «of the largest possible size, «that would carry about 10,000 tons, wotulll be the ship that under that (subsidy) bill would get the ‘best com- ipensation—that is, 14 knots iis :about ‘the :speed that we think is economical :gpeed to do the business, iespecially on ithe Pacific and ‘also ‘on ‘the Atlantic. ‘We have ships building of between 112,000:and 13,000 (tons) and of moder- :ate.speed. A great many are building iin ‘Great Britain now which will carry 10,000 tons of cargo and not measure 10,000 (registered tonnage). “Of such ships there are compara- tively few in the world today. It is ‘only recently that they have been tbuilt:at:all. In 1898, the greatest year for shipbuilding of which we have .read 'in ‘the world’s history, but six iin :all were turned out—four in Great ‘Britain :and two in ‘Germany. But on :Sept..30, 1899, there were then building «of such vessels 16iin Great Britain and several in:Germany, largely for subsidy promised by ithis bill.” As most of these ships were being «constructed under contracts made in 71897 ‘and 1898 :and for the lines repre- ‘sented on the committee which drew ithe original subsidy bill and sent it to «congress in 1898, iit only remains to be :stated ‘that, -as ‘Senator Frye has ex- plained (senate ‘hearings, p. 2), it was ‘in 1897 that ‘the-coterie behind this bill was formed. Having originally plan- med to 'let in only foreign ships con: tracted for :abroad Jan. 1, 1899, they immediately proceeded te place their «contracts. i The date was mot changed to Jan. 1, 1900, until it was too late for those out- side of this coterie to secure contracts «on that date. : ‘We see no reason why only a favored few should be permitted to bring ip foreign ships and get subsidy upon them ‘and believe that the date should ‘be set :ahead, so that all will have an equal opportunity te take advantage of «our country’s generosity. : The “cargo” amendment, while it will probably not hurt anybody, will cer- tainly mever touch the owners of pas- senger steamers. Under it steamships like the St. Paul would not need to car- xy move than 1,500 or 2,000 tons of car- £0 to get the full subsidy, while they mever leave our ports with much less than a full cargo—3,500 to 3,800 tons. Should it ever happen that they would wish to leave our ports with less than 1,500 tons the owners have but to sell more space by the year, and the sub- sidy stream will continue to flow full, as before. Such a large amount of subsidy prac- tically put at the disposal of the few who benefit by this bill cannot but tend 10 unite even more closely than now the great shipbuilding, shipowning and railroad interests concerned in this measure. By the time these few interests bring in their foreign owned ships and get their ships now being built into the subsidy race the $9,000,000 limit will undoubtedly be reached; hence ft will be to their interest to combine to stop competition and to prevent their sub- gidy rates and profits from declining. ‘We believe that such a combination would be completed soon after the pas- sage of this bill.

PAID, —New York Evening Journal. Republicans Denounce Ship Subsidy Bill. Senator Hanna seems to be having snore than his hands full in his attempt to round up the Republican papers of the «country in favor of his ship sub- sidy bill. The following quotations from important Republican papers in- dicate the way his overtures are re- ceived: THE PEOPLE OPPOSED TO SUBSIDIES. “Not only is there no popular demand for a subsidy measure, but there is no reason to believe that it would benefit any person outside of those engaged in building and running ships, and of these classes it would benefit only those who least need it—the large builders and ocean liners and not small ones, * * * “Congressmen must not mistake the atmosphere of Washington for that of the country at large or the clamer of a few ship builders and owners and their lobby for the voice of the people. Let Republican members go back to the platform of 1896, which demanded the upbuilding of our merchant ma- rine and carrying trade by other methods than a money subsidy.”—In- dianapolis Journal. SHIP SUBSIDY BILL. “The ship subsidy proposition is less popular than the tariff for at least two reasons. One is that mobody can be induced to believe that the foreigner pays the freight when the bill itself expressly provides that it shall be paid out of the national treasury in cold cash. The other is that the word subsidy has an unpleasant sound, sug- gestive of the crédit mobilier and land grants for railroads that were fever built. ! “The subject is one little understood by the people, and even if the subsidy principle be conceded only those famil- iar with the condition of the ship- building industry and the condition and needs of the merchant marine can undertake to say whether the pending bill has been framed on ‘the lines best «calculated to increase this nation’s im- portance in the carrying trade at the minimum of cost to the treasury. There are conflicting interests in the trade, some being interested in one class of vessels and some in another and each desiring :a bill in its own in- terest. . “If the pending measure becomes a law, it will be heard from in the next campaign. Neo inconsiderable part of President McKinley's support in the re- «cent election .came from those to whom the subsidy idea is extremely distaste: ful.” —Dubuque (Ia.) Times. SUBSIDY SCHEME NOT VOTED ON IN NOVEM- BER. Diseussing President James J. Hill's intensely interesting prophecies of what the merchant marine of the na- tion is approaching in development, the «Chicago Tribune editorially says: “It was not understood whem the spellbinders were urging the people of the northwest to vote in favor of the re-election of President McKinley that one of the first items on the senatorial programme when congress met would be the passage of a ‘shipping subsidy’ bill whieh contemplates annual expend: iture for 30 years for the special ben- efit of a number of rich men residing fn eastern cities. There is nothing whatever in this adroit resolution (the shipping plank of the Republican na- tional platform of 1900) about ‘subsi- dies’ The word ‘subsidies’ was care- fully omitted frqm the platform. Nor was anything said during the campaign in regard to the extension of our mer chant marine by a scheme of public es- penditure continuing for a generation Nobody can recall an instance of a pub: lic meeting at which the shipping sub: sidy bill was made the subject of fair. candid argument or any argument at all, nor were the claims to public aid of the persons interested in such legisla- tion ever explicitly set forth. * * # The Republican party should not be in fa- vor of ome set of measures prior to Nov. 6 and in favor of an entirely dif- ferent kind of measures subsequent to Nov. 6.” FACTS AGAINST THE SUBSIDY. “Every ship yard of importance in the country is running to its fullest capacity, and many new ones have come into existence, with some of the old doubling and trebling their facili- ties for turning out vessels. Contracts for mercantile craft alone on the At- lantic and Pacific coasts amount to $30,000,000, and it is now almost a certainty that more new tonnage will go into the water under the American flag in 1901 than in any previous year in the history of the country. “The fact that America is building ships for foreign governments, which have had the world for a market in which to buy their ships, shows plain- ly that there is an advantage in our favor on the first cost of the ship. The fact that building and sailing American ships in competition with the fleets of the world has enabled a few Americans to pile up colossal fortunes shows that we can operate the ships as cheaply as the foreigners can operate their craft. : “Of the grainships en route to Pott- dand at the present time 25 fly the ‘German flag, while Great Britain, for the first time in the history of the port, has dropped back to second place, with but 23 ships. Over two-thirds of these ‘German ships were built and owned by the British until a short time ago. As ‘a matter of fact, half of them have passed from the British to the German flag within the past three years. No subsidy was asked or needed when ‘Germany decided to increase her merchant marine, but she said to her subjects, ‘Go forth into the markets of the world and buy ships wherever you «can buy them the cheapest.’ If Ameri- «can capital could have secured the same permission from our government, all of these ships which Great Britain supplanted with steamers would not now be flying the German flag.”—Port- land (Or.) Oregonian. The Ship Subsidy Bill. [From Dry Goods Economist, Dec. 15, 1900.] The present moment. when the peo- ple of the United States are urging congress to remove a large portion of the burden of taxation imposed by the war with Spain, is a most in- opportune one for the introduction of a bill whose object is to draw from tbe treasury some $9,000,000 per year for a period of 20 years, even though the ostensible aim of the measure is the building of our merchant marine. Not only, however, is the ship subsidy bill inopportune; its object is entirely un- just. The proposed bill is, indeed, in lime svith the proposition to establish a parcels post; in the one case as in the other the money of the people is to be used for the benefit of a few, the few in this case being a limited number of owners of ships. Still worse, mot only would our citizens be required to pay a large sum for the benefit of American shipbuilders, but it appears that this bill, if enacted into law, would furnish bounties to many foreign built vessels, since it provides that foreign built ships, of which 51 per cent or more is owned in America. are ‘to be allowed to participate 'in a half sub- sidy if their owners agree to build ships of an equal tonnage in American yards. » : The Merchants’ association of New York has strenuously opposed the pas- sage of the measure and adopted a res- | olution to the effect that the bill now pending before congress is counter to public sentiment and in conflict with the public good in admitting foreign tonnage to American registry and one- half subsidy. 0 ft i | The Intention Not Fulfilled. ~The ship subsidy bill is intended. ac- cording to the claims of its advocates, to promote the creation of an American merchant marine. ‘built in America. owned in America, manned by Ameri- cans, and carrying American products. It will not do any of these things. and the pretense that it will is hollow. A large proportion of the ships to which subsidies will go under the bill are, as we have pointed out. to be foreign built. Nope of the ships needs be own- ed entirely by Americans. There is no adequate requirement that even a frac- tion of the crew need be Americans. By far the larger part of the subsidies will go to ships that do not and cannot carry any considerable amount of freight. It is as absolute and shame: less a piece of special legislation for the benefit of a small number of rich persons at the expense of the treasury and the taxpayers as was ever devised, and it is decidedly worse than any- thing that has «ver been undertaken by congress.—New York Times. oy nom California.
