the persuasive grace Of the practical
speaker, all the force of earnest con-

of human passions. After the best
model OF the oiden time, when free
man spoke TO freeman. as one who
preserved and demanded self-respect,
Senator Fairbanks made his appeal TO
the honesty. the intelligence, the patriot
ism and the moral sense of our people.

Our Cotton Trade.

If any Fastener were asked. or al
most any westerner for that matter,
to name the leading articles of export
from Seattle. 1t is probable that cotton
would not be included in the list. Yet
the trade reports show that this great
staple Is climbing to a prominent place
in the records of our foreign trade. For
the year ending August 81, 1899, the
exports of cotton from Puget Sound
amounted 10 S0,ll1,a5s pounds. valued at
81, T3o,6i3 For the year that closed with
the first of the present month they
were 55.sls,5s5 pounds. valued at s4.-
5is. 707.
The Increase In value Is partly due TO
the better prices which the growers OF
cotton have been able to command. The
increase in quantity is absolute. II
amounts to so per cent, which Is
phenomenal showing. At this
rate, Puget Sound viii, within
few years, take very high rank among
cotton exporting centers. While there
Is no certainty that the relative rate Of
increase viii be maintained, there is
equally no doubt that the growth Of
this business win be STEADY and rapid.
1t is interesting to our people for more
than the figures show. because II is a
measure OF the importance Of the ORR
entail trade. The worlds sales OF cotton
goods TO the orient have been enormous
for decades. That trade win most GER
tainly be captured almost IN its en-
tirety by the United States Cotton

demand for the finished fabric from
China Is steady. More and more these

that business viii be conducted through
the port OF Seattle.
