There is capital. there are individuals ready and willing to enter upon this enterprise. not for a subsidy of $2.000.000. as the gentleman from time to time has said. It is misleading. He is not ingenuous when he makes that statement. The proposal was that which was embodied in the bill proposed to this Housethat a payment not to exceed $100.000 should be paid to the corporation that would undertake this enterprise. For what? Not for service between the Pacific coast and Honolulu. but for all of that service. and. added to that. all the Asiatic service. They were to be paid for twenty years. and after that the payments were to be suspended. but the service was to go on for all time.
