THE TARIFF

Senator Allison

AND says the principal is

tional campaign will
be the tariff. The Democratic party
is ready for the question. The SEN
ator had Inadvertently, perhaps, sup
piled very strong argument why
the policy of protection should be de.
feated He said:
Reciprocity is beautiful theory,
but l am convinced that it can not
be put into practice The instant it
is proposed to reduce the duty on
any given dutiable product by means
of reciprocity treaty the industry
affected Immediately objects. Where
a number of large interests are af-
fected by the proposed reciprocity
treaties they exert enough influence
to defeat the treaties.
1t is impossible to secure the rat
ification of reciprocity. treaties be-
cause of the tremendous pressure
brought to bear by the interested in
dustries. The same difficulty applies
to the enactment of maximum and
minimum tariff, because such prop
osition surely would provoke strong
opposition
The Republican national platform of
1900 pledged the party to the "asso-
ciated policy of reciprocity, so direct

Senator Allen. after his long political
experience and his brilliant career
as a statesman, would not have made
an admission SO humiliating.
Why should the senate be so con
siderate of the trusts? 1t is a branch
of the American congress, legislating
in part, for the American people and
not for the industries affected. The
Republican party may be relieved OF
this tremendous pressure" in 1904.
I'VE renew our faith in the policy

! Camp & Walker was easily the leader
in Minneapolis proper. T. B. Walker;
| the head of the firm, was the largest
| owner Of pine lands in the state. The
firms mill was the largest and most
completely equipped. w. D. Washburn
& CO. was also large firm. General
Washburn had built the Lincoln mill
in 1865 and ever since had been en-
larging his numbering operations. In
1874 Major w. D. Hale bought tho
interest in the business which had
been owned by G.. M. Sdckney, and

In 1875 the firm commenced to oper-
ate large saw mill at Anoka ana
the lumber cut Of the two mills was
for long time tho largest OF any firm
on the upper Mississippi. Several Of
the other firms mentioned did very
extensive business.
The year 1878 was in tho midst Of
q period Of expectancy and prepare
ton: Far-seeing men were getting
ready for great things in the lumber
business. It was plain to them that
an evolution in methods was at hand
and they could also foresee vast In

of this kind, when one might serve

Rum River Boom company was form
ed, with capital Of SIS, 1000, and the
two older companies absorbed. John
S. Prince was the first president, J. A.
Lovejoy secretary, and S. W. Farnham
treasurer. The boom company proved
a great success. It has continuously
handled all the logs in the river as
far up as "boom limits" extend (and
they now reach for many miles), at
ending to the drive, holding back when
necessary, storing logs at convenient
points and finally delivering them to
the mills in Minneapolis in such guam

own men for the drive and got his
logs into the booms at Minneapolis af-
ter his own fashion. But. 1t soon be-
came plain that some more orderly
way must be devised. There were many
disputes over ownership of logs thru
the unavoidable confusion In driving
by so many, and the expense was large.
In order to bring the whole subject

thony and complete revolution In
methods Of operation and handling.
Another interesting evolution was
going on about this time. When the
first mills were built at the falls the
principal market for their product
was down the Mississippi river, that
being the only transportation route
for such bulky material as lumber.
There were no railroads and COM
paratively little population west Of the
city to consume lumber. There were,
however, growing towns and develop
ing farming communities along the
Mississippi river from Dubuque to St.
Louis and, after a time, railroad lines
leading from these towns to interior
points. So the first lumber made at
Minneapolis was rated down the Mis-

ness the past twenty-five years-th0
years Of the life of h e u n al
have been the golden years Of the
lumber business at Minneapolis. From
comparatively small things in 1873
the city advanced rapidly to first
place among the numbering towns OF
the country and has since 1890. or be-
fore, maintained that place. That
she will hold it for years to come is
unquestioned. The quarter century
has been full of event and progress.
Only the most important and signif-
cant events and influences can be
touched upon here.
Perhaps the most important thing
| affecting the business in the earlier
part of the period was the abandon
ment Of water power and the change
Of location of the mills. This move
was In part forced upon the lumber
men and in part matter of choice.
The Minneapolis MILF company had
put In Its leases Of water power and
sites a provision that the company
should at any time have the right to
purchase the mills on five years no
t1ce. In 1876 the Mill company de-
cided that the time had come to use
the water power for flour milling ex-
clusively and accordingly began to
give notice under the clause in the
| leases, or buy in the properties out
| right. At the same time the growing
| inconvenience of hauling all lumber
from the mills to distant yards by
| team and the difficulty as the city
grew Of getting yards at all within
any reasonable distance, was causing
some Of the mill owners to make new
plans. And besides. the mills at the
falls were growing antiquated. New
inventions in saw milling machinery
were coming in. And to do the busi-
ness which was beginning to offer tt
self larger Individual mills were re-
quired. Still another difficulty was
that OF handling the increased quanti-
| ties Of logs that were required for a
growing business In the lower reaches
/ of the river near the crest of the falls.

influences, working together induced
