WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH COL UMBIA RIVER SALMON? The Shipping and Commercial List Bays: "Under the direction of Fish "Commissioner Brice a large number of "Pacific coast salmon are to be planted "In Eastern waters. A fish car eontsJn "ing 5,000,000 egga is on the way east, "and the eggs will be planted In the "Kennebec, Penobscot, Merrlmac, Hud "son, Delaware and Susquehanna rivers. "Already $.000 yearlings have been turn "ed loose In the Penobscot and Its trib "utaries. The commission Is gratified "with the result of Its work on the Faci le coast this year. More than 3T.iW,X0 "ejrgs have been hatched, three times "as many as were hatched in any pre vious year. Of these 26,000.000 were "hatched at the new station at Battle "creels. a tributary of the Sacramento "river In California. The commissioner "secured a site which belonged to the "California commission, and aince baa "built an additional hatchery at the "same place. It la now regarded as "one of the best stations In the United "States." It used to be the custom of the aver age Columbia rlrer cannery man to scorn all suggestions as to the Import ance of advertising his salmon. "The locality from which it comes," be was wont to say, "Is a sufficient recommen dation for my goods." "The superior excellency of Chinook salmon is admit ted throughout the world, and doesn't need any other advertisement." If It were timidly Intimated that the mighty producers of such an Incomparable commodity ought to organize for the protection and preservation of lawful monopoly, am' thit t little j i dicious advertising might result in an increase in their sales and perhaps en able them to get a better price for their salmon, the packer's reply was apt to be that be already had an estab lished trade for all he could pack, and that the price received for bis goods waa greater than that received for any outside variety of salmon. Thus H went on for years. The prices obtained for chinook salmon were larger than those paid for any other salmon, and the demand continued good. It was a free-for-all race on the Columbia, and the cannerymen Tied one with another as to who should put up the largest pock. To do this they often Indulged In unfair and even questionable practices against each other, and with the false labeling of outside salmon, and the scramble which always ensued to quick ly unload extraordinary packs some times put up on borrowed capital dur ing seasons when there was an abnor mal run of salmon, the quality and rep utation of the famous chinook became greatly depreciated, and the price stead ily went down In the market. During all this time the packers of outside fish were thoroughly advertising their goods. They were forming com pact organizations to everywhere ex tend and control their operations. The services of the government were en listed In the Investigation e.-id publica tion of reports concerning their salmon, and the establishment of propagation stations. Every feature and phase of the salmon business was made the sub ject of study by their hired experts, and the market was constantly subjected to the closest scrutiny and the most scien tific manipulation. It Is unpieasant to dwell upon the consequences. The Alaska, Fraser River, and Cali fornia packers soon crowded their pro duct into every market. Statistics show that in spite of the hard times there has been a remarkable increase in the general consumption of canned salmon, but it Is a lamentable fact that the de mand for Columbia' river has been growing less each year. Nine-tenths of the consumers of salmon know of no difference In the grade of salmon, and where any distinction Is observed In buying, it is more often than other wise In favor of the Alaska salmon. With a protracted and bitter strike on their hands last season, caused by a demoralized market and their conse quent Inability to compete with outside packers In the price paid for raw ma terial, Columbia river cannerymen pul up 100,000 cases less than the previous season, and yet today it Is said fully 3o,000 cases of this limited pack Is still on Jhelr hands and a veritable drug on the market except at Alaska prices. It Is to be assumed that the United States government wants none but the best quality of ssJmon for transplant ing In Eastern 'paters, and the Item For a good many years, a contro versy has waged over the question whether a singular or a plural verb should be used with the words "United States," Shall we say "the l'nlte.1 States Is a great nation." or. "the United States are." etc.? This contro versy took a political tinge. The old time advocates of state rights, with the derivative doctrines of nullification and secession. Insisted upon "are." In their view, this country is but a congeries of Independent states federated. It Is true, but by no means losing their sovereign ty because of that Hence the terms "United States" to them requires the plural verb "are" to refer to the sov ereign states of which the Union Is composed. The advocates of the na tionality theory took the opposite view. They hold and correctly, too that the Individual states are not nations, but surrendered their sovereignty to the na tional government when they entered the Union. Hence the term "United States" requires the singular verb, to signify that It Is but one nation, not an aggregation of nations. The doctrine of state sovereignty received a severe blow by the outcome of the war. which negatived the assumed right of seces sion, and established the fact that the X. nlted States Is a nation with a very big "NT" Cleveland's recent message takes the ground that the United States "la" Twice he uses that form of expression: "The United States has nevertheless "a character to maintain as a nation. "Further, though the United States "is not a nation to which peace Is a "necessity. It Is In truth the most pacl "fic of powers, and desires nothing so "much as to live in amity with all the "world." The Democrats of the old school nev er agreed with this usage; and to see Mr. Cleveland voluntarily accept a form which relinquishes the old-time Demo cratic doctrine of state sovereignty, goes far to convince us that the world moves after all.
