Ills talk has reached ihe ear* of those who are pushing the bill, and tbee hive undertaken to si leu e him and 'o bring him into line with Its supporters by treatenlng to defeat the river and harbor bin.

There must tic big money In It for somebody, or else Ip marUi would bed p*tided upon to se cure It* passage Asa miller of fact only the shipbuilders and two or three strong lines of steamship* would be beii edled by It. It l even said by those who have given the bill very careful study that If it should he paseed the merchant marine of the country would be Injured rather than benefited. All of Ihe subsidy money would go to a few strong companies, and they would build on.y enough ship* io absorb the subsidy.
