the ship purchase bill. Holding no brief for the Wilson Admiiiistation, we nevertheless feel cnlled upon to offer a plea of not guilty on one count in reference to the indictment brought by the Chicago Tribune. The editor of the Tribune charge* that the adminiatation keep* the country in the dark a* to it* policies. .Thia may be true as regard the policy to be pursued in case of a serious foreign complication, ministration is clear and explicit and the country has fair ^warning of what may but on one point the policy of the Adbe expected. The dubious ship purchase bill is to be brought forward again at the next session and already such of the governmental machinery as may be found useful for the purpose is being suborned to secure evidence in support of the plan. The purpose of the Administration with this measure is being* well advertised, and the opponents of this iniquitous piece of socialistic legislation, «mong whom we hopfe we may count the Chicago Tribjme, should prepare for the contest. The ehse against the shipping bill is stronger today than it was when a patriotic combination of Republican and Democratic fjenators defeated it last winter. Since then the businessmen of the country have declared against it in no uncertain terms, and the weakness of the measure as a means of practical assistance to our commerce has recently been exposed by Senator Gallinger, whose study and knowledge of the shipping question sire unexcelled. The Senator points out that tbe Democratic method of solving our shipping problem contemplates tbe formation of a corporation in which the Government ehaH hold fifty-one per cent, of the forty millions of stock, the remainder to be offered for sale and probably taken In part payment for the ships to be purchased. Tbe ships available for purchase are now foreign-owned, naturally, and if the Administration bill should become a law, we might see, says the Senato, forty-nine per cent, of the profits accruing to favored foreign capitalists. This the Senator declares truthfully to be a most obnoxiodB form of special privilege against which the Administration has always claimed to stand. Going further, the Senator ' compares the Democratic proposal for increasing our shipping facilities with the Republican plan which was defeated in a recent Congress by the detemined filibuster of the Democratic Senatora. This plan, drafted by Senator Gallinger, after prolonged study and not dreamed out over night as was tbe Wilson-McAdoo bill, offered adequate compensation for carrying the mails — tbe contract to go to the lowest responsible bidder offering the best service— and for a subsidy payment to cargo ships in order to equalize the | cost of service between American ships requiring better pay and remuneration for their crews and the foreign ships with crimped and underfed seamen — this service to be further obligated to an auxiliary naval duty. This plan, i Senator Gallinger declares, his "Republi- i can plan would create ten sCips where the McAdoo Democratic plan would furn- j iah one. The Republican plan would give an equal opportunity to all Atneri- ; cans who wish to be ocean shipowners; ; the Democratic plan would subsidize a 1 single favored corporation and leave all j - other Americana in overseas trade at the j mercy of foreign competition.'' The next Congress will afford an op- ! portunity to teat the merits of these two plana. The Administration, we beg to | remind the Chicago Tribune, has made I it plain that tile McAdoo- Wilson ship- j ping bill is to be one of its policies. We | expect a Republican substitute to be presented along tbe lines which Senator Gallinger has suggested. | A BOOSTER ROOSTER.
