afford them even temporary relief, the

That Astoria has commenced to make
improvements and that it is reaching
out toward the goal Of its ambition,
no one can doubt. The interview in
todays issue with Mr.. J. F. HallOran
only adds other evidence to that al
ready at hand OF the marked growth
Of this city in recent years. Every
property owner and business man in
Astoria knows that now is the time
to lay the foundation work for a rapid
increase in the business facilities Of
the city, and the development Of the
latent resources of this part Of Ore
gOn. What If times are hard? A ma
tional election approaching, and the
money question uncertain? We must
live: the city must go forward, and
business must be done. We know that
an immense amount Of money is being
spent now in the building Of the rail-
road, and we know that unity Of ac-
ton will induce the establishment here
Of those auxiliary enterprises absolute
ly necessary to make a great shipping
port at the mouth Of the Columbia
Why hesitate longer? Now is the time
to let the world know what We intend
to do. Now is the time to take a bold
stand for our best interests. Now Is
the time to start, amongst ourselves,
those industries which will make pay
rolls in the city. If we can't put money
or property into the proposition, we
can talk. We can talk at home; we
can talk abroad; we can write letters
Talk, talk, talk, on the right lines;
and with the upholding Of the hands Of
those who are ready and willing to
put their capital and brains into the
Astoria proposition will in a few
months come a revolution in affairs
here We cannot expect, like Aladdin
with his lamp, to produce in minute
a paradise; but union and harmony
Of interests, and an exhibition Of Chi
cago grit and push will soon so liyen
the old town that even it's fathers will
not recognize it, WOrk-work all to-
gether; work day and night, and leave
the results to care for themselves.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal of the rect
procity ARRANGEMENTS negotiated by the
last Republican administration was
national calamity, and We demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as win cqualize our trade with
other nations, remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale OF Amer
lean products In the ports OF other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets Of our farms, forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures Of Republican policy and go
hand In hand Democratic rule has
rccklessly struck down both, and both
must be re-establlshed. Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries Of life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements Of mu-
tual Interest which gain open markets
for us in return for our open market to
others. Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

THE DEMoNETIZATION OF To-
BACCO.

In colonial days tobacco was exten-
sively used as money in Virginia. Rents
and royalties We're payable in specified
quantities Of tobacco-the quantities
being designated, not by 50 many dol
lars worth. but by 50 many pounds.
Thus tobacco was practically moneta-
ry standard Of value. II was used as
a medium Of exchange in the purchase
and sale Of the various commoditie
that were essential to the life and com
fort of our respected ancestors.
Abiding to this state Of affairs, the
United States Tobacco Journal says:
Everything from a wife to a gallon
Of rum could be bought with the deli
cious and fragrant weed. Tobacco was
even superior 10 gold, for it took three
gold dollars to buy one pound of weed
and the foreign gold nations were
grumbling at US much in the same
high-strung fashion on account Of the
tobacco standard as the slyerites are
just now grumblng at the foreign ma
tions for their gold standard Then
follows this plea for the restoration Of
tobacco 70 its former and rightful place
in the currency system Of the country:

\ TIDAL WAVE OF MANHOOD.

Every day records the development of
political manhood in this country TO an
extent unexampled in the history Of
our government. In all past party con-
dicts there has been something ap-
preaching unity in all organized po-
Htical parties. but in the battle of 1896
the democratic party is disintegrated
from center to circumference, and lead
ers and followers are jostlng each other
in their efforts to declare that patriot
ism is paramount to party
In this general revolution the demo-
Gratis Of the country are simply follow
ing the plain teachings and example Of
Mr. Bryan. the democratic-pOpulist
nominee for president. on the 18th Of
February, 1896 Mr Bryan addressed a
letter to George NJ. Garden, Of Dallas,
Texas. in which he declared distinctly
that he was simply repeating his dec
larations made three years before, that
if the democratic party endorsed the
sound financial policy Of the present
administration, which is simply the pol
icy of the Republic since it was found
ed, ne would not follow the party oT
support its candidates.
We place no strained construction
upon Mr.. Bryan's delivcrance Of his
views as to manhood in American pol
itics. In the letter referred To. he said
NO convention can rob me of my con.
yictiOns, nor can any party OrgaHiza-
ton drive me to conspire against the
prosperity and liberty Of my country
Men who honestly differ upon the par.
amount public questions cannot afford
to be harmonized by national convcn
ton" Such are Mr. Bryan's views OF
manhood in American politics.
Mr.. Bryan is not only to be commend
ed for the courage ne exhibited wher
he probably did not dream that an &C
cidental occasion might make him q
candidate for president. but his advice
and proclaimed example are we'll wOr
thy Of imitation by every intelligent
and patriotic voter Of the land. He
stated what is distinctly true, and What
should be accepted as the truth by eY
cry good citizen, that men who hon
estly differ upon the paramount pub
lie questions cannot afford to be har
monized by national convention

one Of the most significant signs Of
