w She a jsfotian. AiSTUKlA. OREGON: THCHSDAT FEBKUAltY 2i: 1SS7 REMARKS OF SENATOR DOLPH. Oregon has reason to be proud of the three men that represent her at Washington. The' have brought the state into deserved prominence and have contributed greatly to a proper understanding on the part of the east of the value and importance of this part of the Union, and the position to which onr natural advantages entitle us. This is said without the slightest disparagement to the worthy gen tlemen that preceded them. The senior senator, lion. J. N. Dolph, has proved himself second to none in his zealous efforts on behalf of the great commonwealth he so adequately represents. Il lustrative of his efforts out of the senate to fitly portray our section, is appended a short extract from a speech of Senator Dolph's be fore the shipping and industrial league convention at Washington, D. C, on the 19th ult. Senator Dolph was preceded by senator Evarts of New York, and after the distinguished representa tive of the Empire state had sat dovnj he said: "I shall not detain you long. Few men could interest an audi ence after they had listened, as you have, to the eminent, eloquent and able speaker (senator Evarts) who has preceded me, and I am not one of those. If, at any time, I could throw an' light upon this subject, I fear that I am to-night very much in the situation of that planet which is so near the sun that its light is obscured by the effulgence of that luminary, and is only occasionally' visiblo in the west when the sun has set. I re gret, also, that the brief notice I received that I was expected to address you did not leave me suf ficient time for preparation." "The Pacific coast is interested to a greater extent in the question of" our merchant marine than is generally supposed. Its vast area, its great extent of sea coast, its wonderful capacity for the produc tion of cereals, its immense forests, its important fishing interests, its valuable mineral deposits, and its important commercial situation, combine to make the question of our carrying trade an important one to its people. It has already a large and rapidly increasing coastwise commerce, and it is stated, upon good authority, that it now requires annually four hun dred and fifty sailing vessels to transport the surplus wheat pro duct of , California, Oregon and Washington around the Horn to European markets, and yet the production of cereals upon the north Pacific will one day rival tho&e interests upon the north At lantic, and the forests of western Oregon and Washington and Alas ka will soon be the principal source of the supply of lumber for the United States." "I have spoken of its great ex tent of sea coast. This will be be better comprehended by a com parison." "If you will take the map of the United States and trace the west ern boundaries of Washington ter ritory, Oregon and California from Cape Flattery to the southern boundary of California you will find the distance to be 1,6"20 miles. The shore line upon the Atlantic, from the Saint Croix river, the northern boundary of Maine, to Saint Mary's river, the southern boundary of Georgia, is 1,450 miles, upon which thirteen states of the Union are bounded in whole or in part." "The shore line of the Alaska coast, including the islands, is es timated at 25,000 miles and its fishing interests will, in time give employment to a great fleet of vessels. Its lumber and fish will help to swell the volume of our surplus products." "The aggregate area of the states of California, Oregon and Nevada, and of the-territories of Washington, Idaho, Arizona, Utah and Alaska is over one-third of th entire area of all the states and territories.' "Some idea of the extent of this territory will be conveyed by the statement that the point equalh distant from the eastern and west ern extremities of our territory is west of Sau Francisco. The hon orable gentleman who preceded me alluded to the present and prospective commerce of the Pa cific coast. Some time since I had occasion to compare the for eign commerce of that coast with the aggregate foreign commerce ol the United States, and was greatly surprised to find that the value of the foreign commerce of a single port upon the Pacific coast the port of San Francisco for the year ending September 30, 18S3, was nearly as much as the average foreign commerce of the United Statesfor the decade end ing September 30, 1830." "The growth of foreign com merce upon the Pacific coast for many years to come will be much larger proportionately than the jrrowth of the whole commerce of the United States, and it is not improbable that within a single decade the foreign commerce of the Pacific coast will equal in amount and value the entire com merce of the United States in 1870." "The commercial outlook of the Pacific is westward. In my judg ment every year its commercial relations with its trans Pacific neighbors will become more im portant. The continent of Asia and the islands of the Pacific, with their millions of inhabitants, with their rich and valuable commerce, are separated from us only by the open-sea, over which steamships come and go with regularity and safety." "But I cannot dwell upon these matters of special interest to our Pacific coast. Commerce is as old as civilization. It has been one of the pursuits of every en lightened community, and has flourished most in those countries which have attained to the great est civilization. Wherever com merce prospers, science and the arts flourish. The commercial centers of ancient Greece were also the centers of learning and civilization. The Anglo-Saxons in Europeand America, the French and the Germans, the most indus trious, wealthiest and the greatest commercial nations in the world, are also the most enlightened. Senator Evarts has just graphic ally described to you how Great Britain, from her commercial and manufacturing centers, with sa gacity and foresight is establish ing her commercial stations all over the globe and extending her commerce to the ends of the earth. England's supremacy on the seas was due to the growth ol her for eign trade. Her industries were stimulated by it, ancLjhey in turn fed her commerce. Her greatness to-day is due more to her com merce than to her conquests. The power and influence to which she attained through her wide ex tended commerce to some extent justified the saying of one of her sons that 'Whoever commands the sea, commands the trade of the world; whoever commands the trade of the world, commands the riches of the "world, and conse quently the world itself.' " "Commerce not only stimulates the industries and increases the wealth and power of natious, but it builds up reciprocal and mutual interests, and breaks down nation al prejudices. Nature, by the dis tribution of her diversified gifts to different portions of the globe, by the distribution of land and water and rivers and harbors, by giving direction to the winds and currents and a diversity of tastes, habits and occupations to men, has predeter mined that commerce shall always be one ot the principal occupations of the human race." m m m- -11 ....- Just now the interesting ques tion to those concerned and un concerned, is where war will break out in Europe. While the I dispatches indicate a possible rup ture at any timo and the thunder of gun3 on the French frontier, it must be remembered that Russia and Austria have almost equal grounds for claiming the honor of beginning the row. Russia wants to seize Bulgaria, as a preparatory step toward Constantinople, and in central Asia exist complications which may cause the Czar to begin a war of conquest in that region. One thing seems certain that whenever Emperor William dies, probably before, there will be a big war in Europe. The old Kaiser will be ninety years of age next Tuesday. The philosopher of the Burling ton Post truly says that the man of business now-a-days needs the courage and endurance of a sol dier needs to cultivate his wilj else the current will drag him under and lose him. In men of lively imagination it requires all the. power of the will to keep down this fear, and after all it probably kills more men than pills or bul lets. It is hard to make up your mind at last that anxiety and worry do not help matters any, but when you do finally see the matter clearly you have won a great victory and have lengthened your days. When you reach a point where 'Ou can regard your business as a third person, in whom you have a lively interest, but who can die without your dy ing with it, then you can begin to save your nerves and to live ra tionally.
