ley, WASH, asks for tariff as the remedy
for depression of business and idleness OF
workingmen in the great lumber regions.
1t is opposed to the free-trade policy of the
Wilson bill, so ardently upheld by Will
liam jennings Bryan, and gives the fol-
lowing reasons for the Mckinley tariff as a
remedy for hard times:
During the season of 1892 we ran very
little, for the reason that there was no de-
mand for our output. Last season was the
first that we have not run steadily.
1--WE think the old rate in the tariff act
of 1890 would be of greater benefit to us
than any other rate, for the reason that a
specific duty is preferable on Ium mber, a.
there would in that event be no object to
undervalue cargoes. Our reason for ask
ing duty on lumber is that we are COM
pelled to sell our products in competition
with lumber manufacturers in British Co
lumbia, who employ Chinese labor at less
than one-half what we have to pay white
labor. In many places about the mill and
logging camps Chinaman will do as well
as white man, and in the planing-mill
department they will do even better. By
employing Chinese lumber can be pro-
duced from 81 to 81 so per 1000 cheaper
