Hend of the Treasury Has Constituted Hiruself Champion of Bourbon Piotectionists. From every ?t itement we hae coming from the reputed leaders of the republican party it is plain that the republicans find them-- V'- I.i pe entangled In the tariff net, and it will be a matter of surprise to those observers the present situation If the leaders are able to c- t together and pull the party out of Its difficulties on the subject during the eem tOVrgeai I sa i the Indianapolis Sentinel. Secretary Shaw, who i said to have presidential ami II aa, has constituted himself the champion of the bourbon: protectionists in aa Interview th

retary declared that there no possibility that congress will noni at to a reduction of pn tactire duties and urged that instead of devoting Itself to a revls on of the tariff the republican majority shnnli content itself with providing for rebates of duties on raw materials that are used in manufacture f,r export. Where articles are Bnportad to be aeed in manufactures and the manufactured goods are xjortd. the secretary would have the gimrr.nient refund the duties paid on raw material. The Piiigby act provides for rebateof duties on certain raw matt rials used In manufactures for the foreign trade, but It offers no relief to the American consumer. It Is not altogether plain whv congress should leebdate to give the Iftreigt.'r chiap goods and compel the American consun.er to pay monopoly prices.

Evidence That the Ship - Subsidy Si heme Is Yet to Be Keck onsd With.

It would be a aUetaha to assume thai all but universal hostility to every proposition that has yet been made to re

store the American (lag to the sea has

had its I-.-.- oli!i:;t lo the idea thai the ocean traffic of this country ai least should be carried In American ships. There is no doubt, say the Detroit Free Pres, that the people of ths country would haw a eSBtlBaeataJ prld. In the knowPdge that In maritime affairs the position held by the Haltet S'ate. was as r-a' u- in th- ommercial and ladoetrial world. There is no doubt that the presentation of satisfactory evidence that some government asBiataadi was aeeeeearj to.v!art the work of upholding our merchant marino would be followed by t he approval of ths

public provided tlie methodB suggested w re free from taint of fraud and inadequately designed to meet the end desired as near as such end could be attained without the teachings of an absolute experimeiiT' althoogqh tin re is a very considerable numler of people who object to governmental paternal isa la any form. But tin r. ha- a t he. . opportunity whate..r to onsider the matter on its merits. So far in the proceedints every plan has been a scheme and every chente has shown such palpable ev i;en. e that it was conceived with the id i of ratt, that a "raid on the treasury" was the purpose rather than the upbuilding of our merchant marine, and that it has carried its own condt n.nat :m with it. The first measure Introduced, of whicli Senator Frye of Ma.ne. was the putative father, and Senator Hant a one of th ! sponsors, was so phrased that the direct beneficiarie. would hav e heen the trans atlantii lines, which are not in need of a subsidy at all. There was no apparent Intention on the part of the promotors of the affair to make the subsidizing general, there was nothing whatever te indicate an Intention to foster steamship companies that might undertake the establishment of lines to ports that now enjoy no direct connection with any 1 of our chief Atlantic or Pacific ports. The vigorous objection to end der.un- , elation of the measure as a graft pure and simple was effective to accomplish the abandonment of the original method. Thereupon the promoters resorted to artifice and the maritime commission

u i appointed for t poee Of gathering in ! real purpose of devi ' taining the same end means. In the L vviston Jo

pied to be a newspaper ai ' lose tout h i and sympathy with typnator Frye, there j recently appeared an editorial lamental tion. not on the failure cf the congress to devise some sensible and honest plan of upbuilding the merchant marine, but I on the failure of the original graft measure to pass. There was a wall bet a j the transatlantic malls are carried in fast British ship. hat fhe subsidies paid by ; other countries forbid competition for the business by the unsub.-itilzed conI cerns in this one in fact, a general rep- , etition of the old arguments that were advanced when the K-y. bill was under

consideration. That w as one side of the case and the side that was doomed to failure.

The other side I prcditcd in a news 'paragraph to the effect that the demo- ' crats in congress have decided to fight I the subsidy "as nothing more than a Khcme to mulct the treasury for th-i benäht Of a few big transportation companh s That is what it U. and the matter will never win wi-ho-it justi
