PARAMOUNT DUTY.

It Will be seen by reference to the
freight list of the steamship Dakota
that the enormous amount of three and
one-half tons of freight were received
by our business men, on her last trip,
amounting to about 500 revenue to her
owners This is not creditable show
ing, when we consider the difficulties
encountered in establishing the line,
the extreme reluctance of the company
to extend its route beyond the railroad
terminus, and that the sailing Of the
steamer was duly advertised and known
to all parties interested. We are not
Of those disposed to grumble at small
failings, nor do we expect of our people
things beyond the power of their abil-
ity to perform; but we do feel chagrined
that some of our merchants should con-
tinue to patronize sailing vessels which
never come above Seattle, and subject
their freight to reshipment, merely
that they may save few cents on each
! ton-an Immediate gain of a few dol
lars per month, if they are so fortunate
as to sustain no damage from the Sc
we're handling all freight receives car
RED by connecting routes, and pos,
tive loss of thousands if the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company should with
/ draw their steamers from the head OF
| the Sound. We need not expect that
or any other company to do anything by
grace or favor. It is all business with
them, and if route, after trial, fails to
! pay q profit, it is at once abandoned
This will be precisely what will occur
in the present case, if the "penny wise
pound foolish policy - is adhered to by
our business men.
The rates, under the new freight
tariff, are cheaper than ever before af-
forded by any steamship line to the
/ Sound, and are known to be reasonable
and just; still Mr.. Freeman, to place
! the result of the extension Of route be-
yond conjecture, and to secure com
mon interest in the line he represents,
proposes to contract with our business
men to carry all their freight steam
ships to Olympia, for the period Of one
year, at still further reduction Of ten
per cent. from present schedule rates.
The tariff for this place, on many arti-
cles, is no larger than that to Port
| Townsend or Seattle, and in some in
stance precisely the rates charged to
Victoria, in acolony which pays heavy
annual subsidy to secure low rates OF
freight and passage; and the excess is
III no instance greater than a rtasona-
i bic allowance for tho longer distance
trayerscd and the increased expenses
of each trip. 1t is, we hold, an i'm
perativc duty of our peope to guard
and strengthen the bridge which carries
US over the chasm, aud to do this sue
cessfully requires the aid Of everybody

freight by the merchants of a small
town like ours, would be, literally,

benefits to be derived from direct com
munication, not only i'll time, but as an
outlet for many products which would
not otherwise find market, is too ap-
parent for argument. We submit the
question for careful consideration.
