The Lumber Industry.

When one comes to look over the
totals of the lumber industry of the
country for single year, it does not
seem strange that the forests are suf-
fering depletion. Here come the
figures of the census year, for example,
with such totals as these Capital em-
ployed, $lSl, SO, 1872; number of es-
tablishlnents, 25,7O8; number CT hands
employed nearly 100000; value of
logs, $3.50, 1856. 500; wages paid,
$31. feet of lumber, board
measure, 3,O9l, ,356,00O total value
of all products, S233, 367,729.
Taking Tue States by the value of
the products, Michigan leads by long
way with a total of $50, ,449, 929 /;
Pennsylvania shows $22, 2,457,359 !;
Wisconsin $l7,952.347; New York
comes fourth in the list with $l4, 49,
910; Indiana is nearly equal with
$l4, 1863, $50; Ohio has $l3, ,S63, 400 /;
and. from this there is a drop 10
Maine, with 1898, S68; Minnesota
is about the same in rank Illinois,
California, Georgia; Iowa, Kentucky,
Missouri, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Virginia, Texas and Tennessee all
range along i,om above $5,000,O00 to
within 100000 in their product.
When it comes to number of estab-
l'shments, Pennsylvania and New
Y ork each have more Than any other
State, and well on toward .wice as
many as Michigan. The latter State
employs so 900 pei sons, New York,
1900, Pennsylvania $1,000 at the
busy period. For wages Michigan
runs up q ,otal of Sc, 1861, ,9O5; New
York s2,192,972; Pennsylvania 81
91S,459. The number of latbs cut iu
the year was l,76l, 7s9, 900, of shingles
5,555, ,0t6, 900, of slaves 1,249, 1885,
900.
The value of the lumber product in
1860 was $9G,7l5,S54 In 1870 it had
increased to $2lO, ,l59,337. The last
ten years have increased the total, as
shown, to S233, 367,729 There is not
likely to be any question about the
continued growth of the lumber indus
try. 1t is the growtt Of The lumber to
make the industry possible that needs
TO be looked after.

The Bedford Sentinel ia a calm, con-
sentative sort Of Democratic paper. The
following paragraph from 1t therefore is
deserving of the more weight because
all its statements Of facts are characteriz-
ed by calmness and caution, and may be
relied upon:
''We were very much IN doubt about tie
propriety of the action of the State Central
Committee with reference to the candidacy
of Rev. John E. Massey for Congressman
at-large, and were very discouraged at the
outlook. On court day, however, we had
better facilities for getting at the senti-
ment of the Readjusters in the county and
are convinced that larger number Of
them than we supposed are going to sup.
port Nh Massey. Some Of them were very
outspoken in their disgust at the plain
purpose of Malone to carry them into the
Republican party and their Indignation was
particularly aroused by the character of
the mass meeting on court day, in which
the Republican element so largely predom-
inated.''

'Apostates for the price of their aposta-
cy." We must have seen that quotation
somewhere beforel All here is the work;
"Clow for Virginia Republicans by
John S. Wise, 1881. And here is the ex
tract in full
"The great bulk of the Republican party
here hitherto has been negroes. A large
portion of the white Republican vote in
Virginia hitherto has been made up OF men
who were not Republicans from principle,
but as matter of trade and barter; men
without character and influence, apostates
for the price of their apostacy; men in the
community who would starve without Of
fee, who became Republicans for office,
and whose tenure of office not only added
no strength to their party, but brought it
into disrepute and turned respectable men
away from it."

Mr. Massey to the People of Virginia.

Please allow me to say through your pa
per to the many friends all over the State,
who are urging me to visit their respective
counties, that have, after the most care
full thought, made out a list of appoint
ments, which will keep ne constantly and
ACTIVELY employed from now to the day of
election. AS 1t Is utterly impossible for
me to visit all the counties in the State, 1
have aimed so to arrange my appointments
as to visit each section of the State, and
as many places in each section as possible.
/ greatly regret my inability to address
the people in each county and city. AS it
is impossible for me to do that, must re-
ly upon my friends in those counties which
[ cannot visit, to see that their banner is
never furled until it waves in triumph on
the 18th of next November.
The cause in which we are engaged is
not my cause, but our cause. The battles
we are fighting are not my BATTLES, but our
battles--the cause and the battles of the
people Of Varsiasa; the cause of independ-
ence against bossism, of liberalism in re-
ahty against liberalism only in name, OF
right against wrong, of true democratic
wart republicanism, of honest men for
Office against ''apostates for the price of
their apostacy;" Of honest administration
of the Government by honest men for the
good of the whole people against its admin
istration by political tricksters, who are
willing to barter their independence, self
respect, and honor for Office and its emOlu
ments, ard who are looking alone to their
own promotion.
What are my individual interests, for
tunes, or success in such a battle as this
Too insignificant to mention in such con-
tesla contest in which all that we prize
is at stake l am, it is true,yOur standard
bearer, or representative in this conflict
But it is yo,tr standard am bearing, your
interests am representing and, while
pledge you my best. most faithful and un-
renting services Iii our common cause,
I shall confidently rely upon ynur full,
hearty, and GctiUc cooperation. Give me
this and our success will be as certain as
the day of election.
An examination of my published appoint
ments will satisfy you that they will occu-
py my whole time until the day of election.
If, therefore, you fail to receive answers 70
your kind letters, beg you to attribute it
to inability and not to want of inclination
to answer them. Fellow-citizens, three
months of idleness and Indifference may
result in fastening upon you and your chill
dren an oppressive, calling, and degrad-
ing yoke.
Three months of active and judicious eff
fort will free Virginia from the dangers
which threaten her, and restore her to the
high position she once occupied among her
sister states.
Will yeu do your part to avert the former
and secure the latter? Very Respectfully,
JOHN E. MASSEY.

A Straight-out-Repu candidate for
Congressman at large seems to strike such
blow between the eyes to the Coalition
journals, az to destroy their power to get
focus of vision on the same result. The
WHO before the nomination of Mr.. Daw-
son said:
If the Straight-outs nominate to-day a
StraiQhI-out candidate for Congressman
at large the effect will only be to deprive
Massey of all the votes he wonld otherwise
get but for this Straight-out candidate.
The Valley Vsrginia,a of yesterday, does
not look at it in that light. 1t thinks:
Every vote that might be cast for him,
Dawson would be. in effect, that much
aid given to the Bourbon faction.
With this rabismaI view of the effect
of ballot our contemporaries should take
the safe plan of advising the Coalitionists
to avoid the ballot-box altogether.
