The Indianapolis Sentinel char-
ges this country with having des-
troyed the merchant marine by
its tariff laws and its registry
laws, and the present (subsidy
bill) proposition, in all its forms,
is that the American people
should pay men for having ships
built in this country and for nail
ing them under the American
flag. There ia no pretense of any
benefit in it| except to the people
who build the ships and those
who own them. It will not bene-
fit those who pay the freight, but
merely* change the persona who
receive the freight. And for this
blessing the country is oalled
upon to pay $9,000,000 a year for
a starter, with a certainty that
the amount will increase hereaf-

1864 Lincoln received 212 votes,

The Southern states were in re-

took no part in the election.
There have been three presidents
who failed to receive a popular
plurality. In 1824 Adams re-
ceived 50,551 votes less than
Jackson, In 187*1 Hayes became
president, though the popular
plurality against him was 52,224.
In 1888 Cleveland polled 95,534
more votes than Harrison, but
lost the electoral college by 65
votes. The shifting of a very few
votes in appropriate states might
land a candidate in the white
house in the face of an adverse
popular plurality of a million. It
