Why TRADE DOESN'T ROOM,

u
/ Some disappointment Is expressed In
trade circles that the activity which
followed quick on the heels OF the elec-
ton has not been maintained. and the
disappointed are asking why the good
times promised as result OF McKtn-
ley's election have not been realized.
Both the disappointment and the In
curry are based upon partial view of
the business situation and fail to con-
vince those with comprehensive grasp
OF the facts that there is any real cause
for disappointment
When the election was held. the fall
wholesale and jobbing season was al
ready over The retailers throughout
the country had already purchased the
stocks, meagr> though they were, they
thought were actually necessary. They
are not likely to purchase heavily until
they lay in stock for the spring trade
The disappointed jobbers and whole
salers are those who have not taken
into account the fact that when one
season Of unusual activity In trade is
past, general activity cannot be eN-
pected until the next trade season is
reached. The election fell between two
OF these seasons.
There has been a general revival OF
production, however. and many long
idle manufactures are now running fun
time to produce the goods that will be
wanted for the spring trade. Those
who are complaining OF dun trade in
their own particular staples have lost
sight OF the fact that between the man
ufactory and the consumer considera-
bic period must elapse at the best and
that factories may be buster than ever
before and goods still move slowly in
jobbers hands. The resumption. OF the
factories, however. gives the working
men money to purchase with and bene-
Ats the local retail trade. With the
advent Of the spring demand the goods !
now being turned out in the factories |
viii begin TO move TO their final desti- |
nation for distribution to the consum- /
ers.
The goods win be wanted and the |
will have money to pay for |
them. This has been a year Of boun-
tiful crops and of good prices, and the |
money which has been paid and Is still |
to be paid for the country's wheat. cot
ton. corn and other agricultural staples.
is certain to find its way into the ave-
nues OF trade and quicken business into
healthy activity in the near future |
Those who are complaining OF dull bus
mess have expected too much and made /
too little allowance for the time requir-
ed for goods to reach consumers and
realize returns in money to pay for |
the manufacture and distribution Of
more goods.
The disappointed should make due al |
lowance for the season and the time
necessary for goods TO pass from the
and cultivate the grace OF pa
tience. The farmer who plants his corn
Doesn't dig it up the next day to see
4 it hasn't begun, to grow. He waits
till it does grow. Trade is in some de-
gree process Of planting and waiting.
and experienced tradesmen viii do the
1ecessary waiting in patience and with
good humor.

MARVELLOUS RESULTS

After much soolding and persistent
dinning the Astorian finally succeeded
in convincing the oregonian that its
course in advertising Portland's freak
mayor without adequate provooation
was prejudicial to the whole state, and
now, we presume, in the interest Of
the nation, we shall have TO so after the
Associated Press for its repeated and
unnecessary mention Of Mr.. Willie Jen-
nIngs Bryan. TIE people Of other eoun-
tries would forget that such man
ever lived. or perhaps. at least. might
assume that he was dead, if the Asso-
eiated Press would allow his name to
remain in innocuoas desuetude.

The leaders Of the Populist party in
Kansas seem 10 have learned some
thing since the election. They are talk
ing in very different tone now from
the one rhat was heard during the cam
paign. The governor-elect has always
been one of the most reckless Of agita-
tors, but he seems inclined now to take
the same course as his fellow-agitator
who was elected governor OF Washing
ton and who now declares that he never
meant half OF what he said and wrote.
Even the anarchistic lawyer who has
been chosen chief justice Of the su-
preme court has become calm and hope
is expressed that he may develop con-
servatism with the access of response
bility.

People who think that our presidents
ought to be chosen by popular vote
should find food for reflection in the
statement from Austin that during the
last week Of November the state return
ing board was counting the vote Of
Texas, and that even so long after the
election as the 1st OF December the fig-
ures had not been received at the cap
ital from six counties, says the New
York Post. Fancy the condition of the
country after an election like that of
1850. when Garfield received PA cleo
toral votes and Hancock 155, II the pub
Lie had been obliged to wait a month
or more for the fun returns from Texas
in order to learn which candidate had
a plurality Of the popular vote-the final
count in that year showing 9,464 more
for Garfield than for Hancock in the
whole Union. Think, too, Of the temp
tation that the Democratic officials who
always compose returning boards in
Texas would have had to throw out
10000 Republican votes in that state in
order to leave Hancock ahead in the
whole countryside recent count at
Austin having been made behind closed
doors by the governor, secretary of
state, and attorney-general. without
the presence of a single representative.

Why doesn't the oregonlan submit
to the inevitable and turn in and help
the development Of Oregon's great and
only seaport at the mouth Of the Col
umbia? Its ceaseless agitation for deep
water to Portland, it's talk about dry
dock there, and the nonsense it prints
about parallel between the canal ports
of Hamburg and Manchester and Port
land only very thinly disguise the trepl-
dation It really feels ever the rapidly
approaching completion Of the As
toria and Columbia River Railroad. In
stead of pandering to and encourag-
ing the blind infatuation Of its Portland
readers as to the practicability Of that
towns retention Of its ocean shipping
business, it would much better become
a great and influential paper like the
Oregonian to cultivate a spirit Of recon-
ciliation and adaptation to circum-
stances beyond their power to change;
thus aiding the development Of Astoria
and at the same time helping to retain
for the benefit Of the whole state an
important interest which VIII surely be-
come decadent unless Astoria. is pre-
pared as rapidly as possible to take it
in charge. The latest of the many
desperate schemes which the Oregonian
has invented to overcome the laws Of ma
ture and obstruct the normal course of
trade, is that of abolishing pilot fees
between this port and Portland. Such
a proposition is an utter absurdity, and
a little time spent in prior investiga-
tion on the part of the men who control
that paper might have saved it from
the derision with which all who are
acquainted with the condition of the
river between Astoria and Portland will
regard the suggestion. The Astorian
for some time past has studiously re-
Trained from commenting on certain
facts relative to the difficulties expe-
rienced by this seasons grain ships in
