Handling the Tea Crop.

Tacoma has become established as
an important factor In the handling
OF the tea importations of the United
States, through the fact that she has
always afforded the most satisfactory
facilities for the importation and dis
tribution of that commdity. Coupled
with the advantage of being upon a
route from two to four days shorter be-
tween Yokohama and New York, the
Northern Pacific has made the trade
a particular feature of its Oriental
business. This year the company is
just putting the finishing touches upon
new warehouse 600 feet in length
which will facilitate in even greater
degree the quick transfer of tea car
goes from incoming liner to WAREHOUSE
and the ce to the cars. In order to
erect this structure sea wall of rock
was along its entire length and the
area which it occupies reclaimed from
the harbor itself by transferring earth
from the bluff along the water front
by hydraulic work. Its equipment
will include electric appliances for the
handling of cargoes, such as in use In
n the existing system, and which have
made it possible to discharge and load
ships most expeditiously satisfactorily
at Tacoma than elsewhere on the
coast. The steamship Goodwin will
arrive early in June with the first large
consignment of new crop Japans, and
from that time until the last pickings
of China teas arrive the movement
will be lively. Last season, owing to
the workings of the revenue tax OF 10
cents per pound and the fact that the
Northern Pacific surrendered its vessels
to The government for the transport
service, arrivals here were comparative
ly light, amounting to but 1O,63o, ,lo2
pounds, but this year the amount will
probably be doubled at least, as Taco
ma has often handled over one-third
of the teas imported into the Unit
ed States. Much of this product goes
through in bond, particularly since the
application of duties and is held in
! bonded warehouse for release and pay
ment Of duty as required for use, but
Tacoma is one of the five injection
points in the United States, and with
the repeal of the war revenue measure
local entries will be materially enlarg-
led. wv C. Trade.

Profit in Nome Ships.

1aCOHia correspondents 10 tuc OIe-
gonian says: Few people, even those
engaged in the transportation business
have any idea OF the enormous earn
ing capacity of all classes of ioats en-
gagged in the Cape Nome carrying
trade. To illustrate: The gross earn
ings of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
on round trip occupying over 80
days, is $4,000 to $4,000, the latter
sum where her holds are filled with
freight taken up with three classes OF
passengers, first second and steerage.
The Kaiser represents an outlay Of
over 81 600 600, and it requires more
than 500 men to operate her, and
when she is under steam she consumes
over 500 tons of coal every "a hours.
Eight trips is an ordinary years work
for boat of this class, nine being the
most boat of her character could
possibly make, as docking and repairs
occupy the remaining period of the
year.
Compare these earnings with those
of an old barge, costing when new not
to exceed $4,000. III the Cape Nome
trade, and they sink into insignifi-
canoe. The barge Skookum, which
left a few days ago under tow Tor Nome
carried 1000 tons, dead weight, and
measurement cargo, in addition to a
large number of live cattle, horses,
sheep, and hogs. The freight money
on this immense cargo amounted to
$184, 900 for distance of less than J
as great as ship OF the Kaiser's class
would have to cover.
The steamship Oregon is said to
have had under her matches enough
freight at from $40 to $50 ton to
bring $74, 900, while on her decks
enough livestock and goods were stow.
ed to bring $40, 900 more, and in hel
passenger accommodation she had
523 people, averaging 500 head, or 9
total of $40, 800 for a steaming voyage
of about eight days. Then she vii
easily pick up 300 passengers at S1O(
and $3.50 per head for the return triI
| thus bringing her gross earnings for
round trip, requiring not to exceed ~
days, to about S1S0,000 Thus thi
steamship will earn more than none.
enough IN single round trip to pa.
the entire cost OF her purchase, repair
and operation, leaving large balauc'
to be divided among her owners. Th'
barge Skookum stands to net her own
ers over 100000 over and above al
expense on voyage not to exceed 81
days, and if she gets there, will sell fo
probably $4,000 more.
Charles Dickinson, who spent las
summer in Nome, says that there viii
be tie greatest confusion since tn
Tower of Babel, when the present flee
of something like 80 ships, both grea
and small, begin to land their immens
! cargoes of freight on two-mile stril
of sand beach, since nearly all of tn
ships will reach their destination wit
in week, and nearly all of them vii
have to lay off shore three or fou
miles. The hundreds of boats, light
ers and scows that will be tossed in th
surf will be in each others way, an
the results are not hard to predict.
| According to Mr.. Dickinson 1000
passengers and 10000 tons of freigh
will arrive within week after the ic
| goes out of the bay, and such a quan
titv of freight and host of people coul
not be handled successfully at an
! port in the world in the time given th
1 boats to lie at Nome.

Expect to Increase Their Plurality for
Mckinley by 10000.
Minnesota Republicans are remarka-
bly, unanimous upon the issues of the
Presidential campaign and confident of
the reelection of President Mckinley.
There was not, in any quarter, breath
of opposition to his denomination. He
is regarded as the logical leader of the
party upon the issues which so signally
triumphed in his first election, and
upon the new issues which have arisen
during his administration. The triumph
of sound money, the restoration of the
protective principle in our tariff laws,
followed by the restoration of prosperi-
ty, and the broad craftsmanship with
which the President has dealt with the
perpleXing questions and conditions
growing out of the Spanish war, have
convinced our people that a change
would not be desirable at this time
and that the best thing for the country
will be another four years of the same
kind of policy, with the same firm and
able hand at the helm Of state.
L speak cOnndently OF the conditions
in Minnesota, and my observation as
sures me that substantially the same
conditions prevail in all the States that
went Republican in 1896. Minnesota
will repeat her magnificent Republican
victory of that year, and emphasize it.
We lost our Governor in 1898 through
local dissensions, but we elected all the
rest Of the ticket and carried the Legis-
lature. There will be no dissensions
in this State this year in regard to any
candidate, and on the national ticket
we expect to see McKinley's plurality
of 53,S75 four years ago increased to at
least 60,0OO The Republicans will
make clean sweep in Minnesota.

M'kiNLEYS AMERICANlSM.

denomination,

Englishmen Do Not Enthuse Over His
denomination.
A copyrighted London cablegram to
the New York Tribune says if there be
any doubt in the United States respect
ing English opinion of Mckinley and
Republican politics, it may be dispelled
by the reticence Of the London and pro-
vlncal press respecting the work of
the Philadelphia convention There are
few comments on it, and such as there
are have a perfunctory sound. These
are not eulogies Of Mckinley, and the
Republican party is not embarrassed
by English patronage or hattery. The
party platform is described as moder-
ate and the nominations as good as the
circumstances permitted. The nearest
approach to compliment is the Specta-
tors remark that Mckinley is possibly
too much Of politician, but that he
has won and receives international re-
spect.
The English press is preocupied with
affairs in South Africa and China, and
has no space in reserve for trivial in
cident in Anglo-SaXon history, such as
the election of President by a nation
Of eighty millions. Moreover, there are
no illusions here respecting either Pres
ident Mckinley or the Republican par
ty. Both are known to be downright
American, and not in any sense Eng
lish. President Mckinley is not sus-
pected Of having ever made an apology
for introducing the tariff bill which
bore his name, and the party which re-
nominated him, SO far from repudiat-
ing protectionism. has reaffirmed it and
added to it subsidies for American ship
ping.
Nobody in England ever speaks of
Mckinley as anything but an uncom-
promising champion of American ideas
and policies. Hence his denomination
is received here without enthusiasm
and with quiet reserve, as possibly not
the best choice, but one which divides
the Republican party least.

Corn, oats, hay and potatoes show
the largest gains in both States While
wool is not so much grown here as in
the far Western States, still the in
crease under protection in the value of
the clip has been satisfactory to those
farmers who raise sheep. In Missouri
this years cotton crop was worth al
most twice as much as it was in 1896
under the Democratic administration.
Lastly, an examination of the num-
Der of bank depOsitors in Kansas and
Missouri is full of facts upon which
our citizens can congratulate them
selves. The figures are taken from the
last annual report OF the Comptroller
of the Currency:
In the State of Kansas there were
53,151 people who had bank accounts
in 1894; last year there were 100,S40
bank accounts in that State. In 1894
the total deposits in Kansas amounted
to SIT, 147, 16O; last year the total
amount of the deposits was 500, 500, 1O1.
There has been an increase of practic-
of people who had money to deposit in
the banks, and in the total amount of
money on deposit in Kansas.
In the State of Missouri there were
117,367 persons who had bank accounts
in 1894; last year there were 213,OO9
bank accounts. In 1894 the total
amount of deposits in Missouri was
53,921, 1858. In 1899 the deposits in all
the banks of Missouri had increased to
$141, 726, 449. While the number of de-
positors in Missouri had increased by
80 per cent, the total amount Of money
deposited had increased by 100 per
cent.
These facts and figures do not show
the increase in the business done at the
stores, mines and factories, nor the
larger amount of wages paid to the
thousands Of people who earn their
livelihood in these two States.
While the Democratic orators are en-
1arging upon the benefits that will hap
pen to the country If a Democratic
President and Democratic Congress be
elected this year, our citizens should
not neglect the blessings and prospect
ty which they have derived under the
Republican administration that is now
in power, 1t is unwise to throw away
the substance for the shadow.
