It somewhat astonishes me. however. to see many men holding up their hands in horror when the word "subsidy" is mentioned when I recall the policies of past legislation. Every time a man pays more for a manufactured article than lie would have paid if an import duty had not been laid upon it. lie pays a subsidy. Every time an employer of labor pays higher wages to his employee than he would have paid had not the immigration law been in existence. he pays a subsidy. But our legislation is not confined to indirect subsidies. I understand perfectly that there are many respects in which general industry. like agriculture or like manufacturing. is not parallel with a public utility.
