A New Shipping Bill.
T
Hi: l'HKSKNPi: nt Canton
the other day of Senatois
culloni and Hann.i foi con
ference purposes with the
president is explained by the asseitlon
that measure!, of moment likely to
come hefore the next congiess weie
considered from the standpoint of
party and public policy. It is t-aid
that one conclusion i cached was th.it
no hackwaid step would he lecom
mendert tow aid the i obturation of
Ameilcaii ocean shipping.
The fiihsldy bill will be levised and
puslicd ivvlth ledoublt'd eneigy but
piob.tbly In a new foim. Thou who
oppofcd It In the last congiess have
alieady dtatted a competitive bill ie.
Jeetlng entliely the speed hasls of
subsidy pajmonts and ilohanlng
foreign capital ftom pai tlclpatlnn In
American bounty and It Is predicted
that It any hill shall pass tho tltty
seventh congiccs this will be the one.
This bill, na outlined in the Washing
ton eoiiespondonco of the Philadelphia
Ledger, pi o Idea a ten e,us subsidy
period and calls for rigid Inspection
of vessels enjolng the subshb. Tho
giadual emploment of Ameiliau all
ots is Insisted on. Pining the first
three ears one fouith of the crew,
the next three years one-third, and the
last four years one-halt must be
Amei leans. The Haniiu-l'aj ne hill
was loosely drawn In this lespect. It
provides that a certain percentage of
the crew should he Americans, unless
an American consul In a foreign pot t
should certify that Americans could
not well he procur 1, and then the
master of the ship was at liberty to
hire the cheapest labor he could find.
Every one at all famaliar with the
practice of vessel owneis knows what
the result would be. The large trans
Pacific; freight steamets run by Ameii
can transcontinental roads are now
paying $12 and $11 a month, Mexican
silver, for coolie firemen, n practice
which Is never likely to iprodueo
American sailors or afford any Induce
ment or protection to Americans who
might deslte to take up a seafailng
life.
The hill excludes positively ull vessels
peculiarly constructed for carrying
liquid cargo. This Is meant to apply
to the tank steameis run by the
Standard Oil company. I'nder the
Iluumv Payne bill the Standaid on
vessels i-ould havo drawn subsidy.
Their tonnage aggregated US.OOO tons.
An oil steamer Is wholly unlit to
carry general fulght. The vessels
havo no compartments for fi eight, and
the odor of petroleum would tulii an
that might he taken by them. Pro
vision Is made for vetsels running on
the Orcat Lakes, tho subsidy being
payable only on ocean mileage. Tho
Hanna-Payne hill did not cover this.
Since the adjornment of congiess four
ocean built steamers built within
the past year at South Chicago
havo crossed tho Atlantic: by
wnv of thn lakes. nnd are
now nt Liverpool. There Is no
good reason why vessels built on the
Oreat Lakes should not enjoy subsidy
If engaged' In foreign commerce, The
hill permits American teglster fot
foreign built ships put chased by the
government during the stpanlsh-Ametl-can
war when sold to Ametltan pur
chasers hut not otherwise. All other
candidates for subsidy must he home
built. All vcracls enjoying subsidy are
to carry the malls free. Subsidized
vessels are nlso subject to acquisition
hy the United States government In
time of wnr.
The Sherman Antl-ttust law Is
made applicable to all contracts for
subsidy. The men behind the bill
understand that while there Is plenty
of room at sea for all ships, there are
none too many points wheie freight
tin he taken on. The rreat trans
continental railroad lines nie hound
to he feeders of the great merchant
niailne. These railways now operate
big steamship lines, and with the en
actment of a subsidy hill they would
surely Increase the number of their
ships, multiply docks, vvaiehousrs nnd
elevators and monopolize the shipping
trade. They might then give the ship
per an easy rate from Chicago to New
York, Ilaltlmnre or Newport News,
and nt those points charge him for re
handling an amount that would make
It cheaper for him to ship on their ves
sels lather than on his own. There Is
nlso a danger In combinations being
formed hy ship owners nnd shipyards
to make It too expensive to build
American ships, the idea being that
the fewer ships there are the greater
the enjoyment of the subsidy So long
as the greater part of the subsidy
should he received by those who con
trol terminal points theie would he
little Incentive to those outside the
favored few to build and inn ships In
the foreign trade. The result of this
would be that the subsidy would result
In putting money Into the hands of
the few nnd keep foielpn ships proflt
nbly employed In carrlng American
products, except so lar as tho gieat
railway corporations should carry
freight In their own steamers after
having hauled It to the seaboard or
across the continent.
The argument offeied for making
cargo In place of spoil the basis of
subsidy Is attractive Subsidy for
speed mut be paid In proportion to
the knots made per hour in order to
be equitable to all veeels drawing the
subsidy, nnd the subsidy must be In
creased as the rate of speed Inci eases.
This, however, in practice. Is Impracti
cable. The Hanna-Payne bill provides
for subsidy for chips making eleven to
twenty-one Knots per hour, the speed
to be detei mined hy a four horns' run
over a measured course. 'With select
ed coal, dean gratis nnd flues, and
expert fliemen, any boat can be pushed
fiom one to two knots above her nor
mal speed. Yet In ictual service they
would never In all probability attain
this speed, though for twenty ears It
was pioposed under the Hanna-Payne
bill, that the government should pay
subsidy for posslbl" lather than actual
speed. The catgo theniy of subsidy, It
Is claimed, comes more nearly to n fair
bask. A cat go steamer of twelve
Knots can be taken to Liverpool with
a dally consumption of forty-five tons
of ciial and a foice of twelve or fifteen
firemen. The twenty-one knot boat
bums r.no tons dally In sailing the
same distance nnd cat lies 127 llremen.
The freight boat Is cniijtng American
pioducts to a foielgu maiket to bring
money home. The speed boat Is tak
ing Ameiican pass-engets nhioad to
t-pend Ameiican money. Hence It is
proposed to give the fielght boat the
big end of the de.il
Thr1 new hill anles the freight
theory of subsidy so fnr as to Include
sailing ship-'. To build and operate a
sailing ship tho cost Is about one
thlid of th.it of a steamship of the
.same tonage. The hill, theiefore., pro
poses paying sailing ships 33 1-3 per
cent, of the amount of subsidy pio
posed for steameis. The new hill cuts
the subsidy period ihw n from twenty
to ten eais, and the whole annual
payment from nine million to live mil
Ion dollars. Tho period during which
conttacts may he made under the
pioposed bill eplics July 1, 190J. Xo
ship over twenty oars old can he
eligible for subsidy. There nie vessels
teglstered for subsidy under the
Hanna-Pa.vne hill th.it nie forty years
old and which would be sixty .vcars old
at the end of the subsidy peilod. The
pioposed bill. It is claimed. Is therefore
better calculated to lncieaso the num
ber of new modern Ameiican ships.
The theniy Is to make the subsidy
payments throughout the peilod of ten
years build a new ship In place of the
old one. The ship that has earned its
own cost In ten yais ceitalnly ought
to be able to get along without a
subsidy after that The payment pro
posed are at the nte of one and one
half cents per gios ton for each IPO
niuctlcal miles, not exceeding 1&00 go
Ing and coming, and one cent per
gross ton for each ino additional miles
above ir.no. This would make the sun
sidy for a first class trans-Atlantic
liner plying between New York and
Southampton about 51 10,000 a year and,
between San Francisco and Hong
Kong, about $130,000 a year.
Whatever the ultimate decision as
to details, the main thing Is to save
what wo run of the WOO.000,000 now
paid hy Americans in forelgneis each
year for ocean canlage of America's
foreign commeice. Such a dependence
upon torelisn capital and enterprise
does not sit well In the Independent
Yankee naUiif and must be stopped.
