lull is we do not know, but it is safe to say that if it is satisfactory to the interests that have been so damorous for a subsidy it will be objectionable to the people. More and more thev are coinmg to oppose the whole BahsJdy principle, and to oppose it strongly. And their oppo-i tion is something that the republican leaders had b, tier look out for. That there will be a vigorous fight against the new bill is of course clear. Hepublican senators and rejreseritatives ami able republican newspapers throughout the west are known to be hostile o the proposed gift. Anyone at all familiar with the feeling in this region reeHses the danger involved in pushing this subsidy scheme on an unwilling and protesting people. It is known that there would have bet n a eery reepeet able republican vote against the sulsidy bill in the last congress if it had ever come to a vote. And there is reason to believe that it would hare lieen acted on in the omate had it not bees for the feet that the bill's republican enemies almost openly countenanced the democratic tililms.

The popalerfty Of reciprocity, the belief that the tariff must come down snd the favorable view of the movement, against imposing tariff duties for the benefit of trusts are all so many indications of the growth of the opposit ion to the policy of taxing one -et of men for the benefit of another set. Thus tly ship subsidyproposition is in direct antagonism to the prevailing tendency of the times In the matter of taxation. Instead of more subsidies and discriminating tavi s, the p ople want fewer, and they are convinced that the time has come to lighten tax burdens rather than to imrease them. And when they believe--and on the best of evidence -the! the ship subsidy ia demanded by a few rich men w ho are alreedy doing a large and profitable business without it. there is little chance of converting them to the Krye icvv.
