TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS TON.
The consequence is that the home
market makes the general intelli-
gence of the Territory took TO this
/ diversity OF productions. Other per
sons want to raise hay. In time it
Will not cost SO much. But whence
have we obtaiaed ii before? Why,
We brought it up from San Francis
co, eight or nine hundred miles, and
sold il at Seattle. That price upon
the hay brought from a great dis
tauce was the cause of my getting
the price l mention. lnder tue pro
tective system we can ship hay from
Maine even around the Horn, aud
sell ii at particular times away in
| Washington territory to advantage.
| You see how that hay brings its
price. The rest of the people are
attending to numbering and to min
| ing. In either the mines or the for
asts they have to use numbers of
hoI ses to haul ont the logs or 10 run
the mining cars. and nobody was
looking after the subject of proven
der For the horses. Horses have to
eat 1t is not better that the hay
should be raised adjacent 10 a city
Ike Seattle, and therefore develop
the surrounding waste, rather than
be brought to us from a great dis
tance and the money for it depart
from Us or pass away in exchange?
Oar exchanges grow more and more
at home. IL they want to pinch us
| from distance on the matter of pros
vender, what we raise
BRINGS DOWN THE PRICE.
1t there is to be a pinch we get the
benefit of it within the territory.
Therefore, we have raised In that far
northwestern green. corner of this
country a population of more than
two hundred thousand people. We
have there established city which
is one of the points OF credit to the
visitor of the whole land. Strangers
come TO US, and instead Of seeing a
staIvel ng body of people living on
one or two productions, they see that
a home market makes US all active"
Nv hat else do you raise agricul-
turaily?"
L have mentioned the cattle; it
has been to the interest of few men
under cur system TO improve the
stock, and, therefore, milk and butter
aud beef are as good at that far point
as you can find them anywhere. But

i supposed that you woull sell
your hops in San Francisco to the
brewerie7 there. What do you get
for hops?7
"Well, guess" said the Governor.
i do not know much about it, but
there was time when they got over
dollar pound for hops in New
York State"
''Oh, pshaw! We don't get anything
like that. From what l understand

only few years ago it was supposed
that California, with all its good soil,
could not raise wheat nor make

lers brought their flour from Chill.

Now our Pacific cluster of states and
Territories provides flour for large
part of the world. We have passed
beyond flour, and are going into

THE REAL ESTATE BOOM.
Governor Squire took out Of his
pocket bank book AMI showed me
a deposit he had just made of over
$1,000 in New York SAID he: Now
that represents real estate in Wash |
ington territory. Most of it is about
the city of Seattle. suppose that
that real estate originally cost me
$500. Taking the chances, holding |
1t fer time, getting the advantages
of the American home market at that
far point, here are persons in the
east who pay that amount of money
for what have been taking care of.
Can you wonder that we adhere
on that coat to a system
which has built us all up, first taking
up the West, then going to the Paci
tic, and now picking up the Soath?"
