The following contribution to he Hhip subsidy dis-:us*iou comes tusolicited from a prominent citzen of Lancaster: It was not inended for publication; but as the irgument presented carries coniderable force, we will take the iberty of leproducing it, leaving ;ff the signature of the writer: Editor of The Yorkvilie Enqutr r: 1 thank >eu for the copy of four valuable paper sent at my equest. 1 tHKe some interest in he friendly discussion between I'he Enquirer and the Charleston Sows and Courier on Iheshipsub>idv question. 1 am,inclined to riie Enquirer's view of the q^ies.ion. I think that/the News and Courer is disposed to conline the disaiHsiou to too narrow a compass, t would seetn to assume that The inquirer udvocates the building lp of the merchant marine by ubsidies, merely to save the proits for this country on the carryng trade. While that might be omething gained when the .trade >r commerce with the east is built ip and increased in volume, it trikes me that the greater advantige i? outside of that. It appears to me that the main enson for subsidizing s^ip miilding by getting government lid in to establish between 'hinn and the Philippine island* >u the one hand and the United states on the other a greatly increased commerce and trade?far greater than we now have. Vesicle built here and carrying the LI. 8. flag would be more ready ind strive harder to build up this commerce and trade than foreign vessels will ne inclinod to do. English and German sWps will be inclined to establish and irive this trade to their own countries. This is natural. . What we want is to establish an increased trade und coitinierce with these eastern countries, and draw it, as far as practical to this country. We could not expect Herman or English shins to do O this. A great trad.- with these eastern countries would bring to us great revenues, and increase the wealth of the United States. Here would be tho real advantage. The News and Courier and The Stateare notdoing patriotic service in my view of the eastern question They, like some of our Democratic congressmen, are lighting the. administration at Washiagton on all piestiwns right or wrong, without uiy regard to tho merits . of the question. I have no respect for my person who will oppose every measure, right or wrong that is lugges ed by a political opponent. That is a great reason why our Democratic party does not succeed. It has no lenders at Washington and it opposes many good measures merely because tiiey are inaugurated by the Republicans. Lancaster, 8. C.,Oct. 18, 1901. Mr. J. W.
