How Senator stoekbridge Started
in Life.

Senator Stockbridge was recently inter-
viewed in Washington by reporter of the
New York World, who asked him how he
obtained his first one thousand dollars. The
Senator did not exactly answer the question
as propOunded, but told the following inter-
esting story OF his early career:
IL went west i'm lS47 when was twenty
one years old, but did not go empty-hand-
ed or without any definite purpose. l had
$40, 900 that my father had given me to start
in life. Five years before that had work.
ed ia wholesale dry goods houses i'm Boston
and gave up salary of $4,000 year to
go west. first made connection with
Mr.. Carter, an old Boston acquaintance.
lie had saw mill at Saugatuck, Mich, and
while he ran the mill l located in Chicago
and ran that end of the business. had
put all had into the business and in 1851
L bought Mr.. Carter out, paying $50, 900 for
his interest. He then represented ME sew
eral years in Chicago and l went to Michi-
gan and gave my personal attention to the
work. AT this time of my life | worked
very hard, acted as superintendent of my
own mill, rose at dawn, but made very little
money. I.struggled along like most other
Iumbemen at that period and l succeeded
in paying Mr.. Carter, but 1861 did not find
me worth more than $4,000. In that year
formed partnership with D. r. Johnson
and we began to make money. Prices were
good and for the next ten years we turned
out 20, 600, 900 foot of lumber year. After
1870 we became interested i'm the Menom-
inee River Lumber Company, buying in
tw0-thirds interest. We are also interested
in the st. Ignace companyuand Black River
company, all in Michigan. These compan-
les probably turned out yearly sixty mil
lion feet of lumber. Then we are interest
ed in California with Gen. Alger, where we
make about twenty million feet of red lum-
Der per annum. There is not the money
now in the lumber business there used to
be. Timber is very high, while lumber is
very cheap, and If man had to buy his
timber he could not make over 81 per thou
sand feet. The money has been made in
holding the timber. When was struggling
along put every cent l could spare into
pine lands. i bought great deal as low as
81 per acre. 1t is worth $40 now and has
been as high as $50 per acre. But / was in
the business good many years before i |
made any money"

Under the above head line the Detroit
Tribune of last Saturday gave place to the
following article. 1t Is, doubtless, from the
pen " Hon. James w. Hine, one of the
editors of The Tribune, and one of the
shrewdest politicians I'm the state. Most
earnestly we commend 1t to the careful at
tentiOn of every reader of The TIMES. $50
much Is being said about the rich man in
politics that the poor man in politics APP
pears to have been quite forgotten. But he
is there by a large majority. He largely
outnumbers the rich man In politics, though
he doesn't get his just proportion of the
soft snaps. The rich man holds great adj
vantage there, not because he is a better
man, but because he has a,certain potential
influence that the poor man has not.
The poor man should have an equal
chance, but he never will until there is a
radical change made in the conduct of po-
litical campaigns. The fault is chargeable
to no particular party; it rests directly upon
the people. All good citizens, rich ana
poor, should be i'm politics" and 1t should
he made possible for the poor man, as IL IS
for the rich, to accept nomination ana
make canvass without bankrupting NM
self. We are speaking now of the higher
offices, the more honorable and lucrative
ones. As we have already said, the poor
man outnumbers the rich man in politics
and holds large majority of the offices, but
it is a large majority of the minor and un-
profitable offices. The rich man, as a rule,
doesn't fool away his time and money on
that sort of trash.
Men, not money, should count. Merit,
not Doodle, should win. This, you say,
sounds well enough, but ''what are you
going to do about it," Keep right on talk
ing il until public sentiment pulls itself to-
gether and secures such laws and establishes
such methods as shall give poor man an
even start i'm a race with q rich man and as
fair show to the finish. 1t will take time
to do this, but it can be done. The remedy
is in the hands of the people and will be APP
piled when the people show an honest and
earnest desire to cure the evils they are now
complaining of.
