PERTINENT QUESTIONS.


Portland, Or, August %, 1895
To the Editor of the Astorian, Astoria
Oregon.
Gentlemen; During my ride from AS.
toria here / had the pleasure of reading
the Astorian of Jan. 1st, and the little
pamphlet which you kindly gave me
The ride was long and 1 read them en-
tirely, studiously and thoughtfully. NC
enc can journey over your majestic river
or note the exuberance of the verdure
In the depths of your forests, as l have
done, without feeling that there Is latent
wealth. and latent commerce lying ready
to be developed by due cooperation
The people of the East are, however,
too apt to turn the cold shoulder to any
lecturer or emissary from any western
town whose object Is to get Eastern
money and put 1t into that western town.
Too many Western siren spiders have
sung too successfully, "Wlll you walk
into my parlor?'-so that anything on
legs coming from that direction and
singing that same song Is looked upon
as merely another spider.
WIN you let me ask you:
/, How should "a man with 500 and
who determines to settle in your county.
conduct himself?
2. Suppose the amount to be 900, How
may it best be placed to the advantage
of himself and others?
3. $1,000? $1,000? $1,000? $4,000?
l am not surprised at your affection
and admiration for Astoria, and / shah
be cordially willing to do all | can to
help benefit humanity by enabling more
to enjoy the earth's wealth In your vi
clnity. Very Truly,
GEO. f. ORNISBY,
Tacoma, Washington

The publication OF the only letter writ
ten to any one in Astoria by ex-Sheriff
Smith since his sudden departure some
months ago, will carry CONSERVATION into
the ranks Of the legion or more OF men
who have made loud complaints about
the way Harry Smith left me in the
hole" The statement made by Mr.. Smith
as to the condition Of his affairs is prob
ably correct, and however much the
reckiessness OF his conduct may be con-
demned, he has plenty of friends who
would be glad to see his name cleared Of
the charge of intentional dishonesty tow

with $500, man can invest In market
gardening, for one thing, by obtaining a
small tract of the rich land in this coun-
ty, as did man who came here from
Texas several years ago without a penny,
and who by raising vegetables and chick
ems, has in five years made himself In
dependent and the owner OF the land on
which he settled.
Second, with $1,000, an investment eth
er In the fishing industry or dairy farm

Third. with a capital of $1,000 and up
w@rds. the possibilities are unlimited.
Ranching of all descriptions has u wide
field with the most profitable results.

DEMocRArlc THEORIES rp5rED.


1t is profitable just now for the voters
of the United States to compare the pre-
dlctlons OF the Democrats made just
after their victory at the polls in 1892
with the cold facts developed by putting
their theories into practice, in 1894 and
1896 They declared that a low tariff
would increase our foreign trade, be-
cause "the manufacturer was protected
while the farmer was shut Off from pro-
fitable markets." That was one of their
counts In their indictment Of the McKin-
ley law. Now let us see how the Dem
ocratic theory has worked. What are its
results, when put into practice?
In 1894 the value of exports of wheat
was s59,l2i,297; in 1895, II was $40, 1856, 81,
a decrease Of s15,467, ,456.

barley included, exported during the year

Meanwhile the predictions of the Re-
publicans are proving true, that lower
ing the duties would increase our i'm
ports, cut down the demand for home
manufactures, and furnish less work or
lower wages to our own working people.
More than this, and despite the increas-
Ing imports, the schedule OF duties has
been cut so low that the receipts are not
enough to pay the governments legltl-
mate expenses, and the administration
has resorted to issuing bonds-piing up
a debt which we will have to pay later.
