To the Editor Of TIN REPUBLICAs;
Mr.. Hewitt may meau-to tell the truth when he
saysthat ourtar adds to the prices Of the
amount of tariff We pay. Ifsowe cannoto of course
export anything which we tax Of England makes iO
outside our own country, aud we surely cannot
sell such things in England Let us sec if he
tells the truth or rather If he knows how to tell
the truth. Tho United States Report of COM

total export of all sorts of sS23 9i6S53 1t shows OF
this over one hundred different groups of manu-.
factured goods, not raw material, most Of which
are also manufactured in England, which we OK.
export to some sI5OOO,OOO to sl00OOOOO0, and a
large amount Of these directly to England, and q
larger amount still to British colonies. Note few
ofthese, Mr.. Hewitt:

A Growl from San Juan.
FRIDAY HARBoR, April 8, 1885,

FRIDAY HARBoR, April 8, 1882.
EDITOR P. 8. ARGUS:
We frequently see complaints In the
different up Sound papers, about irreg.
ularity of steamers carrying malis' OF
their being sometimes half an hour be-
hind schedule time. Allow me to give
few instances to show with what regu-
larity the mail is carried between Fort
Townsend and Semiahmoo, by the
steamer Dispatch, Capt. Fred Munroe,
contractor OF the route, The schedule
time for the Dispatch to leave Port
Townsend with the mail for this route
is every Friday at 8 A. M. Now, allow
ing a reasonable time, say four hours,
to arrive at San Juan p. o., the first
one on the route, she should arrive
there at IL, noon, and allowing three
hours thence to Friday Harbor, distance
eleven miles, with one stopping place be-
tween LOPEZ island, she should be at
Friday Harbor at 8 p. NJ, or seven hours
after leaving Port Townsend, and the
whole distanc travelled not exceeding
thirty.six miles. But instead OF arriv-
| ing here at the above stated time, 70
p. N.Y. it is very seldom indeed that she
arrives here before or 2 p. NJ. and ire
queltly from 10 P. M. to ] or o'clock A.
M. land sometimes not till next day. This
time however was even eclipsed the trap
before the last, when the steamer Dis
patch carrying the U. s. mail arrived at
Friday Harbor on Sunday, April I'd, at
13O p. NJ, instead OF March 3lst at p
NJ, or only forty-six and half hours
behind the regular time. Nor, is the
above the only cause for complaint, al
though several hours behind time every
trip, il is very seldom that the mail is
delivered at the post Office upon her
arrival. The steamer Dispatch, carrying
the U. s. mail, very leisurely steams
up to the wood raft, and just as leis-
urely takes supply of wood aboard,
which generally takes from one to two
hours, (keeping the mail aboard all the
while) then leisurely comes to the
wharf aud delivers the mail; this is done
sometimes by sending the mail in q
small boat. Such was the case last
night, when the Dispatch came in sight
at 8 p. NJ, ran TO the wood raft, laid
there two hours, and after 10 P. NJ, the
mail was brought ashore in small boat
thus detaining several, who came dur
ing tne uay 10 get thelr man, O.il ai'oi
10 p. NJ, when they might have been at
home before dark, had the Dispatch
come on time. This should be reme-
died, or reported at headquarters, as it
surely will and deserves to be. We will
for the present let up on the Dispatch,
and "go for" the p. M. at Port Town
send. Two weeks ago that Postmaster
neglected to deliver the Friday Harbor
mail l-bag to the Capt of the Dispatch,
consequently no mail came here for two
weeks, and il was then nearly two days
behind time; and again this week not
half the mail belonging to Friday Har-
Dor came here. Another such an occur
renee and he will be attended to. We
are anxious for the time when the Hope
will commence carrying the mail on this
route, then good-by Dispatch, without
any regrets. j. l.. 8.
