ar4'r and with more certainty than in
any other part Of the Union
With the work afforded Ly our timber
and thcnumhcr and variety Of our nat
ural agricultural resources, to those WHO
understand them, the future agricultural
resources Of the Sound can never fail
to be a source of greatness and financial
prosperity. Yet some who know not
our situation, especially those who.come
from those parts Of the Mississippi val.
ley where il has taken off two.thirds of
the value Of their crops TO get them to
market and who have heard of the diff.
Guilty in this respect Of the people in
Eastern Washington, may he tempted to
ask What will you do for market
when you have all your fertile made
lands, river and tide marshes reclaimed
and produce your hundreds of millions
Of bushels Of grain annually When
your crops never fail; when you never
have chinN bugs, grasshoppers nor
bights? How will you dispose Of your
surplus surely your loggig camps, mills
and ship yards will not afford sutli.
cieut market for such variety ofpro-
ducts ? To these questions we say that
we hve beside the ocean, the market of
the world. That it costs very little more
to slip from the Sound to Europe than
from New York City. Therefore that
few of our products can ever be much
lower in value than the standard value
of the New York City market, while in
many respects our market will be supc-
rior to that afforded to the Atlantic
States, consequently our prices will be
higher, so that none need fear but that
they can always find market at good
rates for all they may raise.
1t is only a few years since that fam
lilies began to settle extensively on the
Sound large portion of the popua-
tion being single, transient men. Many
who hold land having no tastes for an
agricultural life, are willing to dispose
Of very valuable tracts Of land at low
rates; yet the part owned by private in
dividuals Is scarce one per cent. of the
government land that can be secured
under the pre- emp,ion or homestead law.
Wages on the sound are more than
twice as high as the average of the east
ern States, while the cost OF living is
only about one.third greater.
With all these advantages, and they
have been underestimated, rather than
otherwise, this is the poorest country in
the world for the lazy man who expects
to realize without physical labor All
the great advantages of this country are
of that kind developed only by severe
physical toll and perseverance, yet to
those who so persevere nowhere does
nature reward them so lavisbly AS here
What we need is the active, intelligent
laborer, and these by the ten thousand.
Wealth cannot fail to follow in the path
of their industry.
The climate is the most equal to be
found anywhere, being barely warm
enough in summer to ripen the stand
ard grains, while in winter, the rain is
the only disagrCeablc feature to contend
with. There being very little frost and
ice, and scarcely any snow. We think
it may be safely stated that the agricul-
tural development of the Sound country
in the next hve years will astonsh even
the ol5est settlers by its steady, system
attic, yet wonderfully rapid progress.

They tell good story of an old business
man who recently found himself "conered"
financially, and desired TO go into bankruptcy.
He applied to lawyer to know how much il
would cost to have the papers made out and
the business put through. He was told that
the expense would be about 500 and, appear
ing to be satisfied with the price, he told the
lawyer TO go ahead, The lawyer followed the
instructions, and when the work was done, he
called for his little 300. 'All right" said
the bankrupt; you can put your claim right

In LOUISIANA, Packard, the
sham Governor, is fading away,
and Grant interferes with military
force to restore him to life.
In South Carolina, Chambers
lain, the sham Governor, is fading
away also, and Grant does not in
terfere to save him.
The reason is hat South Caro-
lima voted for Hayes, and the es.
Enlistment of Hampton as Gov-
erner does not affect that result;
while Louisiana voted for Tilden,
and has been counted for Hayes
by fraud; and if the sham Covers
nor should be driven away from
the State, this fraud would be
seen SO plainly by the people that
it would have to be abandoned.
and the conspiracy to count in
Hayes would utterly fall through,
1t is for the sake of carrying
through the fraud Of counting in
Hayes that Grant issue his orders
to Gen. Gugur at New Orleans.
