Raising Timber or Giving Premiums Having most of the facts before us for some time, it remains only to decide whether we want to start raising timber, or whether we want to keep giving premiums with our export pulpwood, or whether it is better policy to turn this country into a barren, desolate, uninhabitable spot of God's once wonderful creation, an everlasting accuser of man's stupidity and cupidity, an everlasting accuser of the inefficiency of Governments, and everlasting repetition of the Biblical parable of Esau trading his birthright for a mess of pottage.
