II should be gratifying to very be-
lever in honest money to know that
among republican members Of both the
house and the senate there is the strong
est feeling favorable to the plan to de-
clare for the gold standard. Some Of the
timid ara saying that there will be a
harder fight in the house against the
prnOosed bill TO make all government
obligations. whether bonds or money,
payable in gold ;han its advocates an
ticipate. They assert that with a ma
jorlty Of only thirtean the republicans
may find enough weakened members
to emharrass their plan. They predict
long fight in the house over the eau
Gus currency measure. There Is really
no reason for such fear: OF course
there are Weakened individuals. but
the evident determination Of the mass
Of republicans to take a manly and
Straightforward stand on this import
ant question should have the effect Of
bringing such men INTO line The very
fact that he majority Is slender will
make party discipline more strict and
prevent kicking over the traces. Then,
tco. there are several democrats who
can be- relied np3n to support the gold
proposition It is very encouraging to
note the feeling Of the republicans from
such states as Minnesota. Wisconsin
and Iowa. They are just as determined
as their brethren from the East 10 place
the government upon the gold stand
ard. The people Of the West have been
educated upon this currency question,
and they realize that the only safety is
70 settle the controversy in the right
way The fart that a presidential cam
paign is at hand might seem 70 embar-
rass tho question, bu. quite the contra
ry seems probable. Il really makes It
the more imperative that the republic
ans should 60 before the country with
out equiyocstlon or hesitancy in favor
of the best possible money. And they
will do so.

The Astoria Axtorian asserts that tn,
remedy for how prices Of wheat Is tC
ship II TO Europe via Astoria; that
'wheae delivered by railroads to the
cheap port Of Astoria would
bring 50 70 S cents bushel." This Is
about 20 cents per bushel more than
farmers are now receiving. and the AS
torian asks. Then why do not the
wheat praducers OF the interior force
the railroads to choose the option Of
shipping their wheat 10 Astoria at the
same rate charged the more distant
and expansive ports OF Puget Sound?"
Il would seem UNNECESSARY, II the AS
torian's statements were true. for the
farmers to force" anybody; for under
such conditions the wheat buyers and
exporters should gladly take advantage
Of conditions which would give them
extra profits OF 20 cents bushel 1t
Is wonder that Astoria or the Astoria
railway company does not take advan-
tage Of this rare opportunity to make
fortune rapidly. Tacoma Ledger
The Ledger nsither states the prOpO-
sition nor quotes the AstOrian fairly.
The option which the Astorlan would
have the farmers force" out ,suf the
railroads is the privilege -tstthe farmer
Of exporting his xh-ai by way Of the
cheap seacossf port Of Astoria. rather
than com6el him to patrOnize the ex-
pensive fnland ports Of the Sound and
Portland by charging such additional.
arbitrary and excessive rate on the
down river haul from Portland as TO
totally prevent any shipment from AS
tofia. As to the difference which might
be obtained in the price of wheat at
Astoria as contrasted with the price on
Puge. sound and at Portland, the
Ledger knows the difference stated by
the Astorian is the difference now alb
sorbed by the wheat buyers and trans
porlation companies on the thousands
Of tons sent yearly from Puget
sound and Portland for trans-shipment
TO export ships at San Francisco This
difference the Ledger IS well aware is
the precise difference in charter rates
between the port Of San Francisco and
the ports OF Puget sound and Portland.
The Astorian contends that no North
western wheat should be sent 70 San
Francisco for export. and that bone
would be If Astoria were made Com
mon railway point with Tacoma and
Seattle. for the very simple reasoRt nat
wheat vessels could be chartered 10
load at the mouth Of the Columbia
river os cheap il not cheaper than at
san Francisco. The Astorian pro-
poses, in other words, that the farmer
shall save the amount he now pays out
Of his wheat to support the transpor-
tatlon companies and middIe-men who
make a business Of carrying and ex-
porting his wheat at san Francisco.
The Astorian would have the farmer
