Protect Our Eastern Markets.

J. B. Thompson of Minneapolis, the
travelling salesman for II. G. Foster OF
Tacoma, recently from an eastern
tour tells the Ledger: 81 don't think
there is any one business that brings
in more money than the lumber in
dustry of this state," said he. "Our
shingles are now being introduced all
over the country. We have orders
right now to send shingles to New
Haven, Conn.,, and | was riding
through Vermont the other day, and
saw some Washington shingles piled
up along the railroad. They are
being used in Buffalo and other
cities scattered along the great lakes
Recently / travelled up the Mississippi
river from Clinton to Minneapolis.
and there was not a town in all that
distance that was not using Washing
ton shingles, and even in the pine
woods of Wisconsin and Michigan
have sold them. Pine shingles are
becoming too expensive, and the pine
timber out of which they could be
made is used for other purposes.

A New Deal.

The Puyallup Citizen has tie follow
ing to say of the new year a. II eticcts
political and business matters IN
Pierce county:
1894 will be a year of reckoning. In
county politics, the influential men OF
last year will not be the leading men
of next year. The deck is shuffied Tor
"A new deal and the high cards OF the
past wear will cut but little figure IN
this, for strange faces will be proml-
nent in business and politics. Every
minute is making its convert to the
tried and true doctrines OF the Repub-
lican party and the preachers say that
thousands are turning to Christ be-
cause there is no especial consolation
to he found elsewhere.
For the first time in many years a
grand jury of 100 chosen business men
are to be summoned to investigate the
affairs of Pierce county and It's mum
icipalities, and great good can but
come from this searching, secret IN
QUESTION. People and communities
who for years have been living beyond
their means-Or on the means that
did not belong to them-are now bent
upon sturdy economy. So that all IN
all, 1894 can but be a turning point
for the better and an era of recon
struction to pave the way for good
times to come, when people can again
indulge in pleasant follies that will
q
the uncertain years of the future.

\ GROWING HAND. Tt seems in
credible" said George Marsh to a
st. Louis man. that there should be
such thing as a growing hand in
the planting of flowers aud other
plants. but it is recognized even by
florists, and it has grown ITO have a
regular uarne. Some people will read
directions for preparing the soil and
planting the seed or slips, and follow
them faithfully, and yet nothing will
grow, or If it grows at all it will be
stunted and almost worthless. while
another, without half the care and
trouble, will have everything live and
thrive. l saw a little girl bring back
what appeared to be worthless sticks
OF some plants which she had found
In the woods. Her mother wanted
them to live, and, selecting the best,
she planted and tended them with the
greatest care. The little girl took the
ones that had been discarded and
| started little garden" as she called
it, of her own. The ones that receiv-
ed the attention died, those which the
little girl stuck into the ground lived
and subsequently b1ooined 1t would
appear as if plants had an affinity for
some people and not for Others"

HE minority report of the Com
mIttee which framed the Wilson
ire trade" measure, states that this
bill, If it should become law, would
reduce the revenues $72,O00,000, and
under the present protective tariff
law, the receipts are less than two mil
lions more than the annual expenses
OF running the government. The
general government derives its sup
port from two sources: duties on inn
ports, and the internal revenue on
whisky, tobacco, etc. BY the indirect
taxation OF the duty, the people feel
the raising OF the vast sums needed
20 run tins government, little, if at
all. TO offset this annual deficit sew
eral schemes are proposed to raise
revenues. The internal revenue tax
on WHISKY, beer, tobacco and perfum-
efles VIII be increased, and tax on
incomes, estates and SUGGESTIONS is to
he devised. The income tax is a GER
taln percentage taxed on all incomes
derived from lands, rents, or other
sources over an agreed sum, each
year Several states already have a
tax on lnheritances, and it is not
PLAIN by what right the general GOV
eminent cali secure u tax on inheri-
tances. The income tax was tried as a
war measure" but Was not practical
or successful, and soon abandoned.
Unless this tax is not limited to in
comes over a certain snm. it is not
constitutional; and it is brought up
at this time simply to catch the pub
llc eye and hold the sympathy of a
large class of the disgruntled public
ihe democratic theory is a "tariff for
revenue only"-while the MCKINLEY
bill carries out the republican theory
OF both revenue and protection. and
yet it raises but 80 100000 IN excess
OF the revenue requirements. As pro-
posed, the Wilson bill will lack con
siderable of raising the revenue. and
direct taxation must be resorted to
but, as we have before stated, its own
daddy won't recognize it, when the
lumber, coal and iron interests of
Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia and
Alabama, the rice and sugar planters
OF Louisiana, the manufactures of the
North, the lumbermen and miners of
the Northwest, aud the farmers every
where, get through tinkering with it.
AND all these interests are up in arms.
especially IN the Southern States.
which seals its doom.
