Letter from Jack Downing Ill.
ED. STANDARD:


am a lineal descendant of Jack
Downing, of Downingville, who was
contemporary with and correspon
dent of the National Inseiligencer in
the days of Blair, of Nicolas Biddle,
and the United States bank, of Amos
Kindal, Martin Van Buren, and Cen
eral jackson. l have not fallen from
grace. believe just as my grand
father did in the doctrine of 'Old
Hickory" to the victors belong the
spoils." Now, politics is reduced to
just seven principles, viz: five loaves
and two fishes. Then, pelitics had in
in it eight principles, five loaves, two
fishes and bank or no bank. Now the
bank question is left out; the distinc-
ton between parties is all in name
the loaves and the fishes rule alike OH
both sides. 1t won't do to say this
you know. So please keep up the
racket about tariff. That is good for a
blind, while scrambling for the loaves
and fishes. Both parties depend on
the whisky vote. The only difference
between them consists in the fact that
the "Dimocrats" honestly own up,
while the Republicans play Good Lord
to the Prohibs and Good Devil to the
saloons. They are like the respectable
squire in the early cold water times.
who apologized to the merchant when
he carried his jug to be filled, saying
" l take little and talk agin' it."
Smartness in politics now consists
in falling in line with that party that
dispehses the loaves and fishes. Wasn't
our Secretary uncommonly smart?
He rode Republican horse with the
rest of the brigade, until Cleveland be-
came the dispenser of the leaves and
fishes. Then he straddled Democrat

ThurStOn County.

Just now more attention is directed
toward Washington Territory than
toward any other section of the United
states that is inviting immigration
and the Puget Sound basin, from mo.
tives OF business and curiosity, is up
permost in the minds OF intelligent
men of the crowded East, particularly
young men. These considerations
will bring hither large numbers of en-
ergetic men and millions of capital
the former seeking new homes and
the latter investments.
We, Of Olympia, know that the ma
tural advantages of Thurston county
are superior to those of any other
county bordering on either the Sound
or the Pacific. With its numerous bays
and inlets it has greater water front
age than most of the counties in the
Sound region, and its shore line has
innumerable excellent harbors. The
county is well timbered with many
kinds of valuable woods and well wa.
tered with numerous springs and
streams. Within its borders are ex
tensive coal deposits.
Being one of the Oldest counties in
the Territory, large portions of the for
ests are partially cleared, in that much
of the underbrusl has been removed.
which makes it more inviting to the
farmer and dairyman. The under
brush once cleared away, clover and
timothy seeds may be scattered among
the trees and fallen timbers. In the
loose and fertile soil these soon take
root, furnishing excellent pasturage.
1t is the judgment of intelligent dairy
men that Thurston county is peculiar
~ adapted to creameries and cheese
factories. The county is comparatively
level and nearly, if not quite, every
eighty acres can support good dairy
farm. Let this be the case, with Olym-
pia as the market and shipping point
for the vast dairy products, and who
can estimate the great advantages that
would accrue to our beautiful City of
the Gods! tsss
Then we have our orchards. Pacific
Coast prunes are placed foremost in
the markets of the world, and the Pu
get Sound article rivals the famous
fruit of California, and our apples,
pears, plums, cherries, blackberries
and strawberries are not excelled in
yield or flavor by any other locality on
earth. A canning factory at Olympia
would now be paying institution, to
say nothing of the near future, when
our fruit growing is fully developed.
We need only to mention our lum-
Der and manufacturing interests, for
they are already well in the minds of
intelligent people.
Our climate, too, is unsurpassed in
salubrity, rivalling both the orange
wales of California and the vine-clad
hills Of Italy.
Besides, Thurston county has the
best water-power west of the Cascades
and, except the one at Spokane Falls,
the best in the Territory. and this has
scarcely yet commenced to be utilized.
No effort should be spared to people
Thurston county with dairymen, stock
farmers and fruit growers. Real estate
owners should give it attention as
matter OF business-to increase the
values of their lands.

OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON TER.
OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 70. 1880
The Convention.

The Constitutional Convention has
now been in session week, and is
about in proper trim for business. Of
ficers have been elected, rules adopted,
committees appointed, and the men,
bers are beginning to uncork the in.
gradients they have prepared for the
compound which will soon form a fun
damental law. So far the temper OF
the Convention has indicated lauda-
BILE desire to act in harmony and per-
feet an instrument which will meet
with ready acceptance by the people.
What the disposition will be later on
when the cranks have attached their
gears and begun to give the machine
an excentric motion, remains to be
seen. 1t will be working Conven-
on. in the broadcast sense of the term,
if yesterdays grist of propositions is a
fair average of what will be placed in
the hopper within the same given time
hereafter; but it is probable that there
will be some relief soon as the honor
able members have emptied their
sacks, and fallen. in line to patiently
await the results of their grists.
The first proposition of importance
was introduced by Mr.. Kinnear, Of
King, to place some authority in the
Constitution for dealing with trusts,
or combinations of capital for making
corner on any article of common de-
mand. Notwithstanding Mr.. Blaine's
definition of trust would place it be-
yond the authority Of law, it seems
that there is quite number of his po-
litical adherents who hold to a differ
ent view, from the unanimity with
which gentlemen sprang to their feet
to second its reference to the commit
tee. There may have been some sig
nificance, however, in the aiterthought
manifested on the succeeding day,
when minority of the committee re-
ported back the resolution with mild
remonstrance against instructions
which virtually tied its hands, and in
the fact that this report was almost
unanimously adopted by the Conven-
ton. Whether it was desire to af-
ford the committee the widest latitude
in passing upon matters which proper
~ come within the line of sub
jects submitted to each, or that the
"barreled" argument which arrived by
express few nights ago had counseled
calm deliberation, the fact is manifest
that opposition to trusts was not so
marked or 80 obdurate as it was when
Mr.. Kinnear's resolution had struck a
chord attuned to reason and before a
corporation bow had had an opportu-
nifty to set it into vibration.
Prohibition and Woman Suffrage
petitions have already been read and
referred. Although among the first
propositions submitted, they will prob
ably be with the last considered, and
result in . submission to tho people as
separate articles, or the delegation of
Nuthority to the State legislature to

The exports Of the United States to
Canada for the fiscal year 1850 show
4 gain over the preceding year of g.
374 ,5S6. the total value being $22,751,,
O69. Among the articles of export
showing large gain are carriages and
cars, which increased from $S4 1886 to
$2O2 ,654. and steam engines from $685.
S14 to $62O,275. The steady increase
in the value of our exports to Canada,
in spite of the ill feeling engendered
by the fisheries question, demonstrates
conclusively that all American manu-
facturers need to put their goods into
effective competition with those of
other nations is direct transportation.
We can ship directly to Canada, and
consequently we find market there /;
but in order to place our products in
the Central and South American states
we have to resort to foreign lines of
transportation, with disastrous results
to ourselves.

The Bureau of Statistics of the
United States makes very conserva.
tive estimate of the present population
of the nation, the figures being given
at 6O,OlS,OOO. No explanation of the
method of arriving at this estimate is
given, but it is obviously too low. Evil
IDENTIFY the person making the estimate
must have overlooked the statistics OF
immigration since 1880, which show
an increase over previous years As
there is no reason to believe that the
percentage of natural accretion has
been much smaller than in the decade
from 1870 to 1880, and as immigration
has greatly increased, the conclusion
that the population is about 81, ZOO, 600
will probably be found nearer correct
than the estimate Of the Actuary of
the Treasury, who is responsible for
the bureau figures.
