IF THE world only knew—if the people of the United States only knew—
what a hunting and fishing paradise this part of Alaska is millions yes, mil
lions of dollars which are now being spent in
GLORIOUS SEWARD inferior but better advertised lands would be
turned this way. A person who knows and who
is feverishly impelled to let everyone everywhere know the truth would feel
that his voice would be only as that ot one crying in the wilderness, but if all
those who know could be only prevailed upon to shout the facts in one loud
voice and all together Sewards fortune would be made and made quickly.
If we could only let New York alone know that within a few miles of this
city moose, the king of the forest, are more plentiful than cattle on many a
western cattle ranch; that bear walk the woods as plentiful as any hunter
could wish for; that grouse, rabbits, ptarmigan, mountain sheep and other
sort of game are encountered in dozens within a few hours’ walk of the
steamboat landing. Seward could forget its gold mines and its railroads and
everything else.
It is possible for Seward to advertise itself in the East ? The money spent
in such a manner would be just as good as advertising the mining possibili
ties and the coming of people of wealth would be the very best advertising
the mining industry of the neighborhood could get.
Surely, Seward should wake up to its magnificent opportunities.
SINCE the last great war in Europe, the Franco-Prussian, the popula
tions of France and Germany have increased immensely as the populations ot
other nations have. In earlier times the
CAN THE WAR LAST? people of the great nations were, for the
greater part, engaged in agricultural pur
suits. Those who were not thus occupied were shopkeepers, men of leisure,
professional men and others, and some were engaged, of course, in manufac
turing and similar industries. Put the people engaged in manufactui ing, ex
port trade and so on were comparatively few in number.
In recent times manufacturing, exporting and their kindred activities
have increased tremendously'. The increase of the facilities for moving pro
ducts and manufactured articles, as well as the increase in the production of
machinery ha> created an export trade in all countries and has created, also,
the concentration of industry*. From the fields and small shops have eome
millions to the cities and these millions have become dependent on the pro
duction by large capital of the goods for export and of many other of the
necessities of life. Formerly those people made in their little shops what the
people around them used or grew it on their little farms, and when hard times
came they were able to fall back on the products of their farms or were able
to exchange their skill for enough, at least, to sustain them.
Today* when great factories close and when the population of the cities
are entirely out of proportion to the population that is producing the neces
saries of life, and when millions are thrown out of employment and on to
the slums there must come hunger and despair to countless thousands of those
who have been rendered dependent upon others and unable to rely on their
own ability to keep bodies and souls together. What will come when mil
lions of the crowded European populations feel the pinch of hunger and see
their children wasting away of starvation, and how long will it be before
that condition arises? And how can a war continue when the wives and chil
dren die faster than their soldier father and husbands in the field?
And that is what is sure to come if the awful European conflict lasts
enough.
