Dear Doctors. 81 take great pleasure in
recommending TO-NI-TA to my friends

My social duties require me to keep late
hours, and am exposed TO all sorts OF
draughts in light evening gowns, which

best catarrh specialists, but nothing seemed
to relieve my distressed condition until

after taking but one bottle my throat is
entirely well, and my doctor says the

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-05-25

1t matters not that such men as Governor Cham.
berlain, 7. T. Geer, c, S. Jackson, H. W. Scott and
Senator Mitchell have identified themselves with the
direct primary nominating law, the law is bad one
just the same Most persons do not take the time to
read and digest the long-winded document but CON
tent themselves with the favorable brief statements
which appear in the press. The law which the peo.
pie of Oregon have been called upon to adopt or re-
ject is an abortion, without one feature that would
in itself commend the measure to favorable consider
alton. 1t seeks to destroy the greatest principal of
our government, the right of man to keep secret
his political faith and adds the burden of an ad-
ditional election to the candidate for office thus ex
cluding the poor man. The people of Clatsop and
adjoining counties, and indeed of every county in
Oregon, should vote unanimously against this unjust
and un-American measure It's warmest supporters
can not defend it, they content themselves with ask
ing that it be given fair trial" Let them offer
something better than our present system before de-
handing fair trial.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-05-25
THE MONETARY OUTLOOK.

The available cash balance that the United States
treasury now has on hand amounts to about $175,-
OOO,00O-a reduction of 100000 since the first
Of the year-and fear is expressed that if the gov
ernment's revenues continue to run behind its ex-
penditres as has been the case recently the treas
ury may be in such straits next fall that the admin
gtraton will be unable to afford relief in the event
of monetary stringency during the crop-movng
period.
There would seem to be little ground for this ap-
multiplying as fast as they have been Of late and it
Is a fair assumption that nearly all Of them have
been taking out circulation to the full limit that the
law permits The privilege of taking out circulation
constitutes the sole motive for these new banks to
Become incorporated under the national rather than
under state banking act 1t is noteworthy too that
most of these new institutions are situated in the west
and the south, where most of the country's great
crops are produced.
Since the passage in 1900 Of the amendment to
the national banking law permitting the establish
ment Of national banks with a capital of $25 900,
nearly 1000 Of these institutions, with an aggregate
eauitaI of $115000000, have been started Of this
uuraber all but 366 have been established in that
section Of the country south Of Maryland and west
of Pennsylvania The aggregate capital of these new
southern and western banks is over $82OOO,O0O, and
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-05-25

their total circulation is probably pretty nearly equal
to that sum.
And this movement for the creation Of national
banks particularly in the west and the SOUTH is still
steadily going on. Forty-six of these institutions
were organized in April last, and of this number
all but five were in the west and the south Through
the establishment of new national banks $15,000000
has been added to the national bank circulation since
January of this year At the present time this cir
culation amounts to $440,000,0 0,000-the largest fig.
ure, we believe, that it ever reached Probably this
figure will be greatly surpassed by next fall, for
money rates are usually high during the cropmoving
period and the incentive to take out national bank
circulation is correspondingly greater.
In addition, the present outflow of gold is not
going to continue indefinitely Just as soon as money
begins to get little tight in this country, in
huences win be set in motion that will arrest gold
exports and attract to our shores the gold of other
countries. In the meantime we are continuing to pro
uce gold to the extent of 100000 or 100000 000
a year.
In all the circumstances it is pretty hard to get
excited over the possibility of monetary stringency
next fall.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-05-25
MANUFACTURED EXPORTS INCREASING.


Present indications are that exports of manufac
tures from this country for the current fiscal year
win constitute recordbreaker For the nine months
that have already expired they amount to 1886, ,60O
O00 and if this ratio is kept up until the close Of
June, they win amount to over $440,OO0,000. The
emily preceding year in which these figures have been
approached was 1900 when our manufactured ex-
ports reached $4S3,OOOOOO Up to date for the cur
rent year, they amount to $50 per cent more than
they did for the corresponding period in 1894
Probably some of the increase in manufactured
exports for the present year has been due to the
slowing down of trade in this country. 1t would
not be strange if some of our manufacturs had found
themselves with surplus of stock on hand for which
they were forced to seek foreign market the best
terms they could 1t is pretty evident, however
that this could not have been the with the great
preponderance of our manufactured exports for the
bulk of this trade consists of articles that we have
been selling abroad in steadily increasing volume
In addition, there has been normal decline of late
IN home prices of variety of our manufactured
articles and this has made it easier to find foreign
market for exportable articles of this class.
One thing, however, should be kept firmly in
mind, and that is that exports Of manufactures
cannot go on increasing without competing countries
sooner or later raising their tariff rates against our
products Nearly all of these countries maintain
tariffs that are expressly designed protect and pro-
mote domestic manufactures, and when they discover
that these tariffs are no longer high enough to accom-
plish this purpose, they will promptly proceed to
raise them This is what we ourselves have repeated
E done, and what we should do again, in like circum-
stances; and in this respect human nature is pretty
much the same the world over.
And after ALL the foreign consumption of Amer
lean manufactured goods is a mere bagatelle CON-
pared with the home consumption Of the control of
the home market our manufacturers so long as the
protective policy is maintained are absolutely sure
while any foothold that they may gain abroad must,
IN the nature Of things be more or less precarious
and insecure Wider markets for American goods are
thing greatly to be desired but he would be fool
ish manufacturer who did not keep constantly be-
fore him the fact that almost any day adverse legs
lation might shut him out Of foreign markets. InI
all these markets the American manufacturer is per-
petually at the mercy of hostile conditions and in
fnences
