No difficulty in construing the law regarding Importations of logs. In our opinion the present depression of trade is largely due to too hard money. to soft banking laws. too much politics. and too little statesmanship. We are not able to prescribe a remedy. The tree that has never shown its stump is raw material. When cut into logs. is partly manufactured. Our goods are necessities. When we need cash it costs us 8 per cent. Large immigration increases the demand. We employ all skilled labor. and will meet a reduction of duty with a suspension of business. We are employing. on an average. 100 men with free board.
