Why Ship Subsidies?
As usual certain Republican
leaders are renewing their proposition
to pay subsidies to AmeHcan
lines of ocean-going ships.
They point to our "far flung
battle line" and they question:
"What shall we do in time of
war?" One would think, to
hear their plaintive wails for a
"merchant marine" that America,
like Athens, must depend for
its very existence on its ' 'wooden
walls."
But is there any basis for their
pessimistic predictions? America's
foreign commerce, despite
this country's prohibitive tariff,
is increasing steadily. There is
no danger on that score. What
of the possibility of war? War
with whom? With anybody?
These frenzied advocates of this
gigantic graft scheme are willing
to see battle clouds in any quarter.
There is no real danger.
America has nothing to fear.
But suppose there were danger.
What remedy do they offer for
their darkly painted conditions?
They propose, by taxing the
eighty-odd millions of Americans.
to grant bounties to
American ships.
Their proposition is weak in an
economic sense. When an industry?and
such the merchant
marine of the nation may be
termed-is unable to maintain
itself it should perish. The wise
merchant finds that he is losing
money on shoes but is making
money on silks. Does he therefore
take money from the sills
department and spend it in
swelling the business of the shoe
department? Hardly. He usually
expands his silk trade and cuts
off his shoe trade in proportion.
Otherwise he fails.
America needs no merchant
marine to insure her existence.
Seme one has said that if a mar

any other man the world wil
wear a path to his doorway. Lei
this be America's aim. Let th<
world come to America for goods
That is merely the materialis
tic side. The argument that ;
ship subsidy does not pay sink:
into relative insignificance befon
the colossal injustice of it. Win
should a farmer in South Caro
linaorin Nebraska be taxed fo
the support of a shipping finn ii
New York? What good does i
do him?
The advocates of ship subsi
dies claim that their plan, by in
creasing the nation's carryinj
trade, will add to the genera
prosperity. That has somewha
the savor of the story of peopl
on a far off island, who eked ou
a scanty living by taking in eacl
other's washing. Take the mone;
from the farmer's pocket, say
the ship subsidy advocate. Giv
it to the ship-owner so that h<
can afford to let his ships pi:
between American and foreigi
ports. Thus, he claims, Amer
ica's foreign trade will increase
But will it? Let the farme
and the laborer, the tradepmai
and the professional man, thos
who work for their living, le
them consider whether they wisl
to barter their birthright ? th<
American repugnance to specia
privilege?for a mess of pottage
And then, if they decide to maki
the trade, let them look to i
that their mess of pottage turi
not to ashes in the mouth. Le
them carefully consider whethe

Newspaper Disappointment.
If there be a credulous individual
who imagine? that newspapers,
in contradistinction to
persons, are beyond the scope of

the delusion. The Times' experience
is otherwise, and it therefore
speaks by the book. During
the 19 and more years of the life
of this paper it has striven dili;!
gently to make its politics so
t plain that even the understand
ing of a widgeon could not fail
to accredit it with fealty to the
Democratic party. But alas!
1 there bobs up a death's head to
' haunt The Times' waking hours
, and rob it of the placid sleep it
' has long enjoyed. A North Carolinian
is done with The Times
because he was mistaken in
thinking the paper independent
in politics; he was surprised to
read in last week's issue the
editorial on "North Carolina Republicanism,"
which he consid- 1
ers an attack on Mr. S. S. Mc- '
Ninch's candidacy for Congress.
. Which last estimate of the edi,
torial proves the erstwhile Times
subscriber less of a dullard than
he appears at first blush, for he
hit the bull's eye the first shot
| and is entitled to two cheap
cigars for his clever marksmanship.
Ti e Times certainly had
Mr. McNinch and his political
gyrations more or less in mind
when in a sort of round-op of
the Republican highbinders he
was caught in the dragnet. The
' complainant is destined to lose

The Times at this most inauspi- '
cious season. By reading it re- 1
ligiously during the next few <
months he could learn much of
the lumpish downcast look characteristic
of hypocrisy and would
also learn to ever after detect
! the wrinkles of party treason
which it will be pleased to point
i out from time to time.
