AMERICAN DOMESTIC COMMERCE
With a territory as large as Eu
rope, a population doable that of
Great Britain, and domestic indus
tries nearly equalling the aggregate
of those of Great Britain, France
and Germany, the foreign trade of
the United States is much smaller
than that of any of these countries.
But in twenty years France increased
her foreign trade three per cent, Ger
many eleven per cent., the United
Kingdom seventeen per cent, and
the Urited Stat?9 sixty-six per cent.
This growth is especially remarka
ble, and eighty-six per cent of Amer
ican shipping is engaged in coasting
or inland navigation, and as the bulk
of the tore ign trade is done on for
eign bottoms.
This striking fact is elucidated and
Nmany other interesting phases of the
growth 8nd status of American in
dustries are shown in an article en
titled "Thirty Years of American
Trade," by M. G. Mulhall, in the
November North American Review.
Mr. Mulhall "the true policy of the
United States points to a free admis
sion of all fibers, so as to stimulate
textile ' industries, and thus render
the country independent of foreign
manufactures of this description."
The conditions prevailing under the
experimental free trade of the Wil
son bill are of too recent occurrence
for those interested in the wool in
dustry to ccincide in this opinion.
The eminent writer of the article
suggests also that all custom houses
between the United States, Mexico
and Canada should be abolished
without infringing on political inde
pendence. This, he argues, would
double the trade between the United
States and Canada to the benefit of
both nations, but Canadian hay, lum
ber and coal have figured too largely
in commercial affairs recently for
Americans to appreciate the wisdom
of such an alliance.
The internal trade of our country
is estimated at $40,000,000 daily,
and the external commerce a little
over $5,000,000 daily. The former
has insreascd forty-nine per . cent
since 1880, while the latter has risen
barely ten per cent. Internal trade
is the best gauge of national progress
because it reflects the power, energy
and resources of a people. Wool
Record. .
The world may progress in .some
things, but the proportion of fools to
wise men seems to remain as great
as ever. Recent inquiry in the
workings of the great gambling es
tablishment, Monte Carlo, developed
seme interesting, as well as astound
ing, facts. In addition to the sub
sidy paid the Prince of Monaco, the
gambling houses provide for and
keep the judges, police, lighting,
water, postoffice, clergy and charita
ble institutions. The total revenue
of the tables laslyear was was 1,540,
000 pounds. An interesting item is
the press subventions 25,000 pounds.
It is stated that it is absolutely nec
essary to expend a large um in se
curing the good will of the conti
nental press, and it is said that over
one-half the stories of suicides are
only bids on the part of newspapers
for a share in the "boodle." As the
world grows better in some things,
the refinement of civilization brings
with it vices of a deeper type.
The representative of a number of
eastern colonists is in The Dalles
looking for some location suitable
for such a settlement.. This repre
sentative has visited all sections of
the Willamette valley, 'tbut dors not
wish to make a choice until he has
seen Eastern Oregon as well. These
colonists wish to secure several thous
and acres lying together. They
come with money, and are prepared
to build homes in a new country. It
is immigration of this kind that
efforts should be made to induce to
this country. There is room in
Wasco county for hundreds of more
happy and prosperous homes, and
when the simple truth is known, this
section needs no other advertisement.
The Willamette valley can no
longer claim superiority over Eastern
Oregon in 'the matter ot moisture.
The Cascade mountains have al
lowed the rain-laden clouds to pass
without any hindrance, and the
amount of rainfall here this season
will be above the average. Plenty
of moisture is the farmer's want and
whether it comes in the shape of
snow or rain, its benefits are the
same.
