Amid nil the tumult and the shout
ing; about 'American y:npathy with
the Boer republics" it Is well to listen
lo one clear, sane voice, the oicc of
an tamest friend, of the lloers and
probably the most weighty and effect
ive critic of the conduit of the British
government. "Neither the principles
of KS9' nor those of the Declaration
of Independence And recognition
anu.ng the Boers." That is the testi
mony of Mr. James Bryce, than whom
the friends of the Transvaal profess" to
know no better authority.
It Is proposed to cut Alaska In two,
make a new territory and name It
Seward, In honor of the great states
man who brought about the Alaska
purchase. Its area is large enough for
two territories, or a doxen, for that
matter, and the name proposed for the
terst one to be sliced off, though secure
in the nation's memory without such
celebration, Is the most appropriate
that could be selected. But what la
the r.;ed for two territories, when con
gress has not yet been able, after twen
ty years' consideration, to devise a full
and practicable territorial govern
ment for one?
' When the ship subsidy bill first be
came a subject of discussion In the
newspaper, objection was raised in
Portland that its benefits would be al
most totally monopolized by the At
lantic coast ports and the Pacific coast
would he left dependent upon its own
resources, with greatly increased dis
advantages in competition with East
ern shipyards and trans-Atlantis
steamer linos. As the biil was origin
ally drawn there was really some
ground for this contention. But when
-..Senator MoBride proposed an amend
ment to the bill providing that 30 per
cent (we believe) of the subsidies paid
out should go to the Pacific coast,
hlch amendment was promptly adopt
ed and Incorporated In the original
bill, there seemed to be no further
(round for opposition from this section.
The McBride amendment, indeed,
piomistd benefits to the Pacific coast.
the disparity of its present volume of
skipping considered, which were out
of all proportion to those promised
any other section of the country.
' But to the surprise of all who ar- In
terested In the fate of the bill,' the
Portland opposition still continued, and
la spite of the recommendations of the
National Board of Trade, and the sep-
arate endoirement of every chamber
of commerce and commercial organ!

those f all the tur&e renters of the
Middle West supported the bill and
ninny of them earnestly memorialist
congress for Its passage. It has been
hard to sie the motive for this peculiar
and arbitrary attitude of Portland.
Various explanations have boon as
siKned, some having to do with the
lack of an Independent medium of pub
lic expression In Portland, others
reflecting on the good sense and degree
of information of Portland people,
later deveh pmt nts. however, seem to
point to another and much more prob
able elucidation of the mystery. The
subsidy bill, as Is well known, is
dc-signed to stimulate the construction
of steamers rather than sailing vessels.
The aid exten led, too, Is graded upon
the basis of tonnage tending thus to
encourage lare vowels and speed,
thus placing a direct premium on deep
sea vtsjels over any other class of
craft, and favoring steam, rather thau
sailing ships. Here we have the most
pl.iusible explanation of ;he Oregon
ian's unique destitution of being the
only important paper in the country
righting the subsidy bill, und It Is a
clearing up of that vexed problem, we
are happy to say, which tends rather to
the credit than discredit of that paper's
Intelligence and discrimination. Port
land cannot hope to share In a traffic
which employs steam vessels of large
tonnage, and consequently opposes any
measure which would operate to In
crease their employment or construc
tion on the Pacific coast.

The Oregon farmer Is paying 8 to I

ocean freights on the Pacific coast have
! reached the highest point for twelve
years and as a consequence farmers
are oompelled to ray higher freight ! 118 ,1-'vt'opment, an enormous business

that "this prosperity of the shipowner i niuUt'"-'-
If working a hardship upon the farm- j Th,i i(lt;a thttt u'ls country is ap
era," but advocates of a subsidy bill ! lr-Mi-g finished conditions In a nils
ire not usln? the fact as an "argument i take- 0ur Jev,-loPnent has only be-
in favor of still further taxing the pro
ducer." It is admitted that the present high
freight rates are the result of a scar
city of tonnage. The British govern
m nt has taken more than a million
tons of merchant steamers for govern
ment service; the United States has
taken from the merchant service a
large amount of tonnage, and these,
with the enlarged nitrate trade and the
large Increase In general merchandise,
has made a scarcity of vessels with
the natural result of Increasing rates.
The Oregonlan argues that as every
freight carrier is making money, shlp:
yards will continue building ships, and
alleges that all the subsidies that could
be piled up for owners would not re
duce freights one shil:lng "so Ping as
the supply of freight exceed J that of
tonnage."
It is evident that some action Is ntc
tswary In order to benefit farmers an 1
shippers, to increase the supply of ton
nage, and that is the object of the buIj
;'idy olll, to lncr;ase American tonnage.
That Is Just what the cubwldy bill Is
ir.t hd-.d to do and would do. It would
incrcas; the number of American ship
yards as well as of American
ships, and thu Increased tonnage would
have the effect of reducing freight
rates to farmers and other producers
and shippers sufficiently to pay their
share of the Increased tax hundreds
of times over.
The American Association of Manu
facturers, who, next to the farmers, are
most Interested In low freight rates
on exports, ore heartily In favor of the
passage of the subsidy till, from the
belief, no doubt, that it would Is of
benefit to them In the way of reducing
freights. They assert that the manu-
facturers of the United States "want
quicker, cheaper and more regular
transportation to many foreign mar
kets, which they now reach only by
lines owned abroad and operated with
out regard to American Interests. We
want American lines of steamships
which will carry our goods to South
America, to South Africa, to Austral
ssla and to the Orient upon terms
a hantaseous as are enjoyed by our
English and German competitors.''
Whatever will be the advantage of
Amerloan manufacturers will be equal
ly advantageous to American farmers.

SIBERIAN RAILROAD AND
WHEAT TRADE.
OUR
Chicago Times-Herald.
Articles on the great trans-Siberian
railway, whb.h have appeared during
the past few years from the pens of
travelers who have visited that region,
have been pervaded by 'much appre
hension concerning the probable effect
of this great engineering enterprise
upon the future market for Ametlcan
wheat. Th'--y have found that Siberia
Is not the bleak, fiose. n and barren des
ert whkh Am-ri'ans hav,. been P-d to
believe It is. They find Instead of froz
en wastes of lie arid Know vast artas
of the most fertile soli in the world,
with a ioild iiui '-ip.aUe fl.inate, ad
mirably adapted to the pursuits of
hu'-andry.
As a matter of fact, few people In
this country have any adequate con
ception of the vastness of Siberia. It
is more than one-quarter of the entire
area of Asia. Stretching from the Ural
mountains to the Pacific ocean, It cov
ers a territory nearly half as large
again as Canada. It Is believed by
many that Siberia Is detained to be
come the granary of the world. It is
also known that the central nglor.a ar
atli! den;e primeval forests into which
the. foot tif man lias nevc;r penetrated.
What will e the effect upon Amori
can commerce of the opening to the
world of these vast forests of lumber
and wheat producing areas? It Is
averred that the completion of this
great ral way will make Siberia a for
midable competitor with Canada for
timber, with England for Iron and coal j

which n well In many Siberian dis
tricts, and with till the lands of the
earth In many different products.
According to the reports of William
Mitchell 'tunker, who Is Just returning
from a Siberian trip In the Interests of
the San Prtuiclseo chamber of com
merce, this apprehension tlmt Siberia
will become u serious competitor of the
United States in wheat and lumber Is
not oased upon accurate knowledge of
Slberi in products. Mr. Hunker claims
that the Siberian wheat Is so Inferior
In grade that It can never seriously
men tee the American product. The
degenerates the first year In Siber
ian .mil. lie also found that the trees
of her vast forests are small and that
most of her lumber comes from Puget
sound. It Is his belief that the road
will open up markets for American
munufacturett products so valuable
that the threatened competition In the
matter of wheat Is Ineonsequenial an I
not worthy of serious consideration.
As a matter of fact, the United States
has Already supplied the bulk of the
material for the construction of the
road.
