BETTER AND BETTER TIMES.
And on this journey Of ours to the West we
learned another fact that | had not got into
my prepared budget of material when left
Washington, and that is this: East of the
mountains there are a greatH 4any people out
Of employment; not half so many out Of
employment that really want work as they
pretend, but there are a great many. Now
they said to US that all the good lands in
the United States were taken up there
were no more left. We have got now to
support ourselves as they do in Europe, on
what we have got" Well, we have been
out there; we have been clear out there,
nearly into the center of the American De5-
ert; and right there in the center of that
desert Mr.. Dalrymple took us at a trot and
a gallop in his buggy around for about an
hour and half through $1,000 acres of
wheat field which had averaged, this year,
twenty-four bushels to the acre Of first class
wheat [cheersl, and that In the desert
Tlaughterl; and the land cost them, | am
told, about one dollar an acre. Now what
is the trouble? Is it that they have not
room enough? The world has laughed q
great deal at Mr.. Greeley for a favorite
phrase of his, Young man, go Vest but
Mr.. Greeley was wiser than those that
laughed at him. There is good sense in
that. Every thousand people that go West
make it just that much easier for those that
are left at the East to get employment, and
when they get West they build them homes
They want carpets; they want furniture;
they want every description of supplies, and
they give just that much more employment
to the manufacturers of the East. And
that is not all. They go to work and they
raise their twenty-fOur bushels of wheat to
the acre, and help feed those men at the
east, and so the movement of population
that is now going on more rapidly than ever
before In this country, to Texas in the South,
to Kansas in the center, to Dakota and Min
nesota in the North, is steadily helping us
on to that period of better times of which
think we are now on the threshold.
REMEDIES FOR HARD TIMES.
And now, my friends, may I talk a little
of my own convictions as to remedies that
are proposed for these hard times? APP
plause and cries of $50 on! Go on!' |
do not like to mingle In mere partisan dis
cussions, and | do not propose to, but have
some friends who tell me that, after all, our
trouble is that our currency is not cheap
enough, and that it will not stay at home.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1878-09-26

of the country-the producers and laborers,
the niddlemen? The men who buy and who
sell, do it, If they have good sense, for pro-
fit. They understand very well that this
tickle standard Of value may be against
them. They may buy at one price and sell
at another, but the currency may vary IN
such a ay as to make it against them
Therefore they put on enough profit for
the purchaser and laborer to pay Eto make
up for tie shifting standard of the value of
currency, and at last the laborer of the coun-
try and the producer of the country pay for
the .fcldeness of the standard. Now, how
is it? We have brought the greenback, the
National bank note, and all kinds of paper
money tC within half to quarter Of a cent
of the value of gold and silver, and there it
sticks, steady as the level of your lakes.
Why. In four months, in five months, the
variation of the currency has not reached
more than the fraction Of cent. Then we
have a better currency.
THE BALANCE OF TRADE.
But perhaps more interesting to you as
farmers, is the condition Of our export and
import trade. For FIVE years before the
panic the balance of trade against the Uni
ted States was $100.0O0,000. That is to
say, we bought of those men across the ocean
$500, 900 more than we sent them, and
balances have to be made up In cash.
How is it now? Why, last year, the bal
ance of trade in our favor was $257, 100000
more than ever before, and as an average
for three years past, we gained between
three and four hundred millions of dollars,
as compared with the period next before the
panic. And how does that come? Then we
sent between two and three hundred mil
lions of dollars of agricultural products
abroad. We are sending living animals,
we are sending bread and breadstutfs-that
means whest largely, and corn. We are
sending leather. We are sending some
manufactured goods never sent abroad
before. We are beating them with our
watches in Paris, and sending watch-works
actually up to the shops where they make
watches in Switzerland, because we do it
better than they do
We are gaining then, my friends, IN this
whole business between us and abroad.
Now am not here to discuss the question
of the balance of trade "a very abstruse
matter economists differ about that. But
there is one thing we do not differ about;
It is a good deal better to have hundred
millions on our side than against US. That
we understand, and that IS the way 1t IS
to-day Now the announcement and the

SATURDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1878.
ofaciaI Paper ofthe County and Village
JACKSON, LANSING & SAGINAW
RAILROAD.

Prospects Of tts Being Extended
Through % Cheboygan and the
straits.
For sometime past there have been ru.
mOrs afioat in regard to the extension of
the Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw railroad
through to the straits. These rumors
have been given from time to time in the
columns Of the TRIBUNE. 1t would now
seem that there is something in these ru-
mors, and we are glad to state that there
is a prospect of work being soon COM
menced. The Saginaw Herald says: "It
has been rumored for some time that i'm
portant changes were in progress relative
to the Jackson. Lansing & Saginaw rail-
road and its connecting lines. 1t is now
known that considerable concessions and
notifications have been made in the
terms of the lease to the Central or Van-
derbilt interest, and that steps were
taken looking to its early completion to
Cheboygan and the straits. The distance
by this route ia about 5S miles, and aside
from about six miles beyond Gaylord
to the summit the route will be of easy
grade and construction. We have it on
good authority that the engineers are
now engaged in completing estimates
Of the cost, and that the work is liza
bic to commence within few weeks
In confirmation of this one of OUR citi-
Zens has received word from one of the
officials of the road. that, while it does
not amount to definite declaration of an
intention to commence the work of ex-
tending the road, would indicate that it
is the intention Of the company to push
the road through to speedy completion.
There is one thing certain, If that COM
pany desire to secure the trade of this
section it is necessary that they should
extend the road so as to reach the trade
The extension of the Grand Rapids and
Indiana road to the head OF Crooked
lake virtually brings Cheboygan in reach
of that road, apd if the trade and travel
once started that way. it would make II
more difficult for the Jackson, Lansing
and Saginaw road to secure it. The lat
ter road will give this section the mos
direct route to Detroit and the south anC
beyond doubt is the natural channel TO
the trade and travel of this section, bu
to secure'lt they must come for it and this
for one reason, leads US to believe tha
We are at last to be favored with th
extension Of that road.

Needs Explanation.

The Detroit Evening News of Tuesday
says: "There is quite lively competi-
ton now between the Detroit and Bay
City and the Michigan centfai railroads
over the matter of Mackinaw freights.
The Mackinaw road connects with both
the Detroit and Bay City and the jack
son, Lansing and Saginaw, but freights
given to the latter reach Detroit in a
roundabout fashion by way Of jackson.
The distance is somewhat longer, but
the Michigan Central folks endeavor to
balance this by low rates and greater
expedition in fhe making up and sending
out OF trains" Certainly the amount of
freight:destined for Mackinaw at this
season Of the year, cannot amount to
enough to create any very "lively com.
petition" on the part of the raill Dads.

Sault Ste. Marie Canal:

The Cleveland Leader prints a letter
from Gen. Witzel to Congressman Rice.oi
St. Paul, in reply to an invitation to be
present at a convention to be held at st.
Paul, next Wednesday, 18th inst, called
to take some action in regard to hasten
Ing the improvements on the great lakes
so as to give uninterrupted navigation to
the largest crafts. In his reply he has
this to say of needed improvements in st.
Mary's river, and the Sault canal:
The draught that can be taken through
st. Mary's river is about thirteen feet.
The present channel from the canal to
Lake Huron is shallow in many places,
and so crooked.that it is not nayigated
| at night. 1t would be difficult and ex-
pensiye to light it SO as to make the nav
| igatiOn by night practicable, and it
could only be done at all with the Co.
operation OF the Canadian Government
| within whose boundaries some of the
lights would have to be placed.
No detailed and proper surveys have
vet been made upon which to base an
estimate of the cost of deepening and
lighting the channel Of St. Mary'S Rive:
as at present navigated. The survey
should be as soon as possible, and will
cost about $4,000.
A more direct route than the present
one from the canal to Lake Huron is
by improving what is known as Hay
Lake channel. In the summer of 1873 !
asked for and obtained permission to
survey it. The estimated cost of OBJ
tanning draught OF sixteen feet through
it. at the prices then existing, was &c..
136,977. At the present prices it would
probably not cost ever $2,500,000. Ly.
ing within our own territory, and being
made up of long, straight portions, il
could be lighted without great cost, so
as to make its navigation by night en-
tirely practicable.
The work Cd the enlargement end i'm
pr0vement OF tue canal was begun by
my predecessor. Gen. o. M. Poe, corp:
OF engineers, in $50. The project which
he submitted vas approved and with a
few minor alterations and additions the
work has been carried on under it ever
since, by himself and myself, as rapidly
as the appropriations made by Congress
would permit. In order to complete
this work $395, 900 and two seasons work
will be required.
Unless liberal appropriation is made
by Congfess at its approaching session
as recommended from my Office, work OF
this improvement will stop fexr' seasoil
All of the funds which are at present

The steam barge Kershaw, In company
with the steam barge W. H. Barnum,
left Milwaukee Friday OF last week, and
passed through the straits last Sunday.
They had got down as far as Presque
Isle, when they were overtaken by
the terrible north-easter that set in last
Sunday night, which accompanied with
a binding snow. Both bargOs took the
back track and made foe the straits to
find shelter, the Kershaw being in the
lead. Monday morning about four
o'clock the Kershaw struck bottom on
this shore about mile above the. mouth
of the river and Immediately gave warn
ing to the Barnum which prevented her
getting i'm the same condition. : The Sc
we're storm of Monday prevented any,
thing being done to relieve the ground
ed craft. The captain, however, manag-
ed to get ashore and make arrangements
for lighters and men to tighten her off.
Tuesday morning work was commenced
but the heavy sea running intertered
somewhat, and made 1t difficult to make
much headway. Towards evening the
Andrew ]. Smith went out and with the
aid of the Barnum, succeeded In pulling
her of. Fortunately, she grounded on
soft clay and received but little injury,
her siphons keeping her free from water.
The grain which was taken off was taken
in the lighters to Duncan, where the
Kershaw went and It was placed On board
again. Some loss was experienced by
the grain falling into the straits by rea-
son of the roughness Of the sea. The
Kershaw had $4,000 bushels OF wheat
xnd was bound for Erie. She and the
Barnum both remained the straits until
Thursday evening, when they departed
for their destination.

of the merits of the supper, the 'reputa-
