BRYAN AND LUMBER


In an interesting letter from Boston
20 tss West Coast and Puget Sound Lunl-
herman F. f. Ripley, secretary for
Wheeler, osgood & Co, says. among 9TH
er good things:
"As 10 the business situation IN the
East. as far as ii concerts the ordering
AMI The reception Of oIr West coast pro-
duct, the Ills are very simple and the
cure is simpler still. and Yet / sometimes
think that our state of Washington and
the lumber trade contains more men VINO
find il difficult 10 act on a simple propo-
sirson than any other community on the
face OF the earth.
Let me advise Two things. First. make
less shingles ami siding: second. get SAM
pie punches OF the Eastern cedar shingles.
and see TO Il that no shingie goes out
that Is inferior in point OF manufacture,
ana your riddle is solved.
II have spent now nearly three years
taking cedar by day and dreaming cedar
by night and I am giving you the strong
language that ! have employed above pc
cause my mind and heart are full OF the
desire 10 see the lumber products OF .he
state OF Washington taking the place
that they deserve: first in the markets Of
the Last.
Regarding the outlook, there IS no need
OF despair. I do not know how unpopu-
lar am making myself in predicting the
sure and speedy downfall Of Bryan and
his pet movement. That it will irnme9i-
ately revive trade Is TO be acknowledged
man in the state OF Washington would
agree with me after tventy-sour hours of
huSJl.ng about the states from which our
life in the way OF capital must be de-
rived. The Improvement. however, will be
very slow and gradual. but II is certain"

Speaking OF the volume Of traffic, rates,
etc, President Hill says:
The phenouenally abundant crops With
which the territory served BY the Great
Northern system was blessed IN the year
1885 necessarily added much 10 the volume
of the traffic moved over It's lines Nearly
100000 bushels OF wheat alone were
transported in the business year covered
oy this report. Still, the progress Of the
trafhc system toward greater diversity
in the articles comprising it, was never
more marked. The percentage Of earn
mss from haulage OF grain TO the total
freight earnings is year by year decreas-
Ing, while the income from other traftlc
shows relative increase.
The progress of rates, and OF amounts
paid BY the public for transportation, per
unit of traffic, still maintain a steady
downward course. 1t cannot be disputed
that during the past twenty years. the
price OF no commodity bought and sold in
the markets of the country has fallen so
fast or so far as that of rail transporta-
ton.
The articles carried by the Great North
ern system, while considerably more d.
versifed in 1896 than in 1881, are substan-
tally OF the same description as then;
yet, in 1SS0-S1 the average charge per ton
per mile was 2SS cents, while in 1866 il
had fallen 10 .976 of l cent; or 10 only a
little more than one-third of the former
rate. Has the price of any other COM
modify, or the rate OF pay for any other
class Of service, fallen equally?
I'm 1855 the revenue ton mileage of
the system was ,622 ST. i23, and the cost
of it to the public. SIS. $50. Il. Had the
rate per ton per mile Of the year 1SS0-Si
been charged. the earnings would have
amounted TO sif7 .S697s. or $50. 9O5. 10. 81
more than the companies actually collect
ed. and during the same time the rate of
wages paid by this company have adj
vanced to an average of IS per cent. higher
than the average of 1sS0-S1.
I'm the downward course of transporta-
ton rates, a point is always reached when
the decrease ceases TO so 10 the benefit
OF the producer by being added 10 the
market price at the point of consump-
ton. \ survey of the course of prices Of
the great staples of the world VIII not
fail TO convince the most casual observer
that this point has been reached and
passed long ago; and that 40 other cause
has so much operated 70 depress prices as
cheap transportation.
Nearly eighteen thousand new settlers.
an unusually large number have located
along the line during the year and the
settlement OF new country is going on
more rapidly than for several years past
This. and the natural growth of the
population and business along the newer
portion Of the company's lines. has been
gratifying, and indicates continued in
crease Of the company's traffic.
General business along the company's
line Is. on the whole. prosperous: AZ the
same time some branches Of business have
not shown material increase during the
past year

Fulton precinct has been claimed by the
Pops and Goats as q stronghold of free
silver sentiment. William 4. Humphrey
was billed 70 speak there on FrsGay cven-
ing last Before ne went out he vas told
by some Of hls Gdat friends that he Was
wasting time. for he could not get an
audience there. He found. however. that
3iiddietons hall, IN which the meeting
vas held. under the auspices OF the iul-
ton Mckinley Club, was filed with an
audience which. from the character Of the
applause. very far from being for
free silver. Mr.. Humphrey devoted the
greater portion OF bis address TO the
money question. although he touched
somewhat Oh the tariff.
The Central opera house at Everett Sat
urday evening was packed TO the Gcors
To listen 10 John ". Corson. of Seattle,
and r, ". Cushman. OF Tacoma. Roth
Speakers handled the financial question in
most mastery manner. In the audience
We're many VINO were yet Undecided on
this question. and the constant bursts Of
applause and the enthusiasm manifested
throughout Was indicative of the success
OF the meeting "a vote-gettFr for sound
money and honesty. Both spe si<ers were
accorded the best OF attention. and from
their first sentences 10 the close hurled
hot shot into the free silver camp with
telling effect.
As each speaker finished his address he
received such continued waves uf ap-
planse that Il amounted % an ovation.
The meeting vas held under the auspices
OF the Mckinley and Hobart Club. and
was the most successful In the history of
the city.
