NOW COMES THE SHIP SUBSIDY GRAFT Everything points toward a determined effort by the leaders of the Republican party, headed by Taft, Aldrich, Cannon and others like them, to force the ship subsidy grab upon the country at a cost of hundreds pf millions of dollars to the taxpayers. The policies of the Republican party have destroyed the American merchant marine, which, in the old days of Democratic rule, was a source of such pride to this nation. In those days 90 per cent American trade was carriedtaAmeriean ships. Now less than 10 per cent .is so carried. The, Chicago Journal says: “American shipyards are because the r .< high.«;.tfal|f makes material 'for buildtag modern shipstoo costly to permit the shipbuilder‘to cotttpete wlth- forelgU shipyards,. which' can avail ' themselves of cheaper iron and qaontly buying American irpnand wteel at lower prices abroad (h^n...are quoted to the American trade- Re-? publican ' administrations permit our forests to be destroyed by kings anxious to seize the premium granted them by the tariff, and then .calmly tax the people to plant more trees. The same masters of legerdemain permit the steel trust, by vir* tue of the tariff, to destroy our once great shipbuilding industry and then demand a tax on the people to enable the shipyards to reopen. Only a change of administration as Washington can be trusted to put an end to this orgy of spoliation and permit the producers of our national wealth to retain a decent proportion of their owe earnings.” • efsMt* A . > y ’. * 1 * , v■. < NEVER SETTLED , UWTU. 4T IS SETTLED RIGHT That the tariff question win never fa settled until It it settled rfaKt'fa !, » W. settled H people—is becoming more
