.pres.aent Mokinley's ideas concerning
protection for the United States should
Apply 10 each separate state. When a
state Ii not seif-produeing in all respects,
a system OF reciprocity should follow.
Fur Instance. Washington cannot produce
cotton nor tobacco nor other things for
esgn to It's climate and conditions. bat
Il can produce much that other states
cannot. Consequently the system Of ex-
change would operate IN the case OF each.
The Northern Pacific road was the
first to find a market for Washington
sras, In the East. The growers tried to
place a part OF their crops in St. Paul.
Minneapolis, Milwaukee and then Chi
sago They found that the market was
esuttsfd. then they asked US for u rate OF
4 huadTed-l cent pound-and We
gave II TO them to New York. X was Ia
New York that some Of the Washington
growers found a market our idea il that
the creating OF markets for the things
produced along Our line sets money Ia
circulation. The sale of the fruit. for in
stance brings Eastern money out here.
l, Is sent back for machinery and manu-
featured articles. and the next years
crop brings out more Eastern money.
Right now the West IL discharging It's
obligations by paying off mortgages and
doodlng the East with the same money
thai was sent out TO pay for wheat and
corn and fruit.
Our advertising cars. operated by the
immigration department. are doing n
splendid work. They are sent out all
over the country. and give a practical
demonstration of the resources Of the ter
fitoFy adjacent to the Northern Pacific.
