PHIC AMI TDK SHIP M HIIM BILL. Tin* comm mt In some of the Western papers on Senator Frye’s speech on the ship-subsidy bill Is calculated to create the Impression that he has not rendered that measure very much assistance. For In stance. hr said that this country was In n very unfortumde and humiliating condi tion as to Its foreign carrying trade, and that nothing but sulieidtea could save It. It rsrnu that the Commissioner of Navi gation has slated In his annual report— the one for 1830—some things In respect lo the American shipping Industry which show tt to be In a nourishing condition If the Commissioner Is lo be beiloved our foreign carrying trade Is no! In such a de plorable slate as Senator Frye would have the country believe. Berta tor Frye also said that the operat ing riphitw of English ami German ships were to tier rent, less than those of Amer ican ships. Thai being tlte case how will It be possible to build up an American maruie by means of subsidies? The sub sidy provided for In the pending bill would benefit comparatively few ship*. How would it he possible to operate the others If whal Senator Frye say* Is correct? Surely he does not expect that every American ship in the. foreign carrying trade will be subsidised?
