CONGRESSMAN AIKEN RE*
COVES INTERESTING
LETTER
WILL MEAN PROFIT
Heretofore London Has Been Cen
ter oS vVorld's Fur Trade But
Conditions Are Changing.
Congressman Wyatt Aiken is spend
ing several days in ibo city omi yes
terday iu conversation with a re
porter ot Tile Intelligencer ?puke of
the stocking with fish of Mr. Il, C.
McKinney's pond by tho United States
government.* 4
Mr. Aiken stated thal he hud a lit
tle trouble in getting the government
lo do ll' (ia but it waa not because of
any luck of attention. He Faid that
Hie government was doing work like
this all over Hie country: both in in
land waters, as well as lu tho waters
nf both adjacent oceans, an 1 when
this is taken into consid?r?t iou one
will realise why the work can uot la
done as soon as applied for.
Mr. Aike, although ho aev.T re
ceived credit, for it, was Instrumen
tal in having ti io government put
the fish In Mr. McKinney's pond and
stated yesterday that he wat always
ready to help those who visheJ to
have matters of this kind attended to.
Ju connection with the putting of
the flab, in H o McKinney pond. Mr.
Aiken received a very Interesting let
ter from Mr. K. P. Forest, ailing
secretary of thc department of com
merce. Washington, I). C. lt treal
with toe work being done in this
department and is \ery Interesting.
The letter In part, is as follows:
"I>et me call your nUentinn to one
Other thing of great value to th?
country -which has recently been ac
complished by ll'ila bureau. It has
charge, as you know, of 'Uncle
Sam's' wonderful stoek farm on the
Prlblloff Islands. Previous to thc
present administration the seal skin*
taken on tiie i'ribllorrs haw; always
been sold at auction in Ixindon. lang
land. They have been dressed and
dyed there and many of them have
been made up Into garments by Kng
lish' labor, lion. John Hassett Moore,
former counsellor of thc department
of state, told mo prior to thc
present closed season when thc kill
ings were large he understood that
employment was given to 10,000 Eng
lish men and women in tho sale and
handling of these American skins. In
HM3, the . first year of the prcsont
Democratic administration, upon the
recommenr?"tlon of tho present com
missioner of fisheries, we jy.il an end
to this unpatriotic. absuility. The
sale of ll-o skins taken that year was
held in St. Louis, -Missouri. Havers
came from London. l'avis. Herlin.
Leipslc, Dresden,-In fact from all
over Kiirope. A smaller commission
was paid than had been paid to lae
London agents and the prices averag
ed 5 per cent better than received
for similar skins sold In Lou .lon about
the nanio time.
"For some time past efforts" have
been made to bring to this country
the process of dressing and dyclnr
seal skins which 1B rocognized all over
Uio world aa being by far thc beut. Wc
have now readied a point whens I
feel justified In saying to yon that
these efforts have boen successful.
You arc the first person outside of thia
department to whom this information
hos been given. Justice compete me
to givo much of thc crodit to tho pres
ent management of tho bureau of fish
eries.. It means a great deal to our
country now and will mean a great
deal more when wo resume Ute cora
mcrclal killing of scala. It is the
D?mocratie way of building up an in
dustry without placing an added bur
don upon, the consuming public. Thc
transportation charged across the At
lantic end back again will be saved.
Tho ; 35 per cent duty formerly paid
by our people on the return of those
government skins to the United States
will bo ?aved. American pm chasers
will get their seal skins at a lower
price white at the same timo thc not
returns to trie government will be In
creased. Honest employment wiii be
given to many of our own people.
Many foreign buyers will come herc
to attend the annual salea, leaving
their good money with our railroads
hote'a, and merchants, and it ia quite
possible that seal and otbor skins tak
en in other parts of the world will
be sent hore to bo dressed and dyed.
"London has from time immemorial'
been tho center of the world's fur
trade. Aa one of tho result? of (lie
European war and of the transfer of
the seal skin sales and tho best dress
ing and dyeing process to the Hulled
Suites, I &m Just Idiotic enough to
beliovo. that in . tho near future the
world'* fur business will be trans
acted lu our own country.
"Please .pardon mo for writing at
such length. X simply want you to
soe and appreciate what tho bureau ot
fish erie.-, ts doing in the way of cen
serving and increasing if.1? whole
some food supply which ls and pf
right ought to be oura, and abo what
it la doing to protect industries we
havo and to add others which make
for our future prosperity.
Cordial!v and sincerely yours.
