Onco a year they come to us these men that went to the war In soldier's clothes thirty years ago; went, and never came, twiok ugnln they come and claim a day's remembrance. They ore marehlngi today, this great Invisible army of our dead ami as they went out from us, under Haunting Hags, keeping time to the wild music of war; they are marching' today, these men who dared to give to chance, the care and keeping of their lives. We hear In happy dreams the footsUs of return, their name are In our hearts; their memory the common air we breathe. They are marching today In their faded oouts of blue not as they march ed In years gone by; they are marching with fullering sttis and dimmed eye; carrying their eloquent elegy of flowers to the llplesn and tinreplylng dead. They are marching, these maimed ones, "whose scum give modestly a tongue" these preservers of liberty, these break ers of chains. We cherish with tears nnd flowers the memory of those who died. We hall With cheers and rejoicing those who fought and live. These men fought (or u fought thai mothers might call their babes their own; that Idleness should not forever soar patient toll; that this country should not be a hydra-headed 'monster made up of warring states. They kept our name In the list of na tions and our flog In heaven. Through much weariness and years of mist and Mood and wounds and death they fought and trx-y should be remember ed now. W give the soldier-patriots the dayl For the living, cheers! For the dead, tours! It has been' conceded by the political enemies of John Fox that he Is a "ireftial gentleman" and "successful LuHinesa man." If this toiler iwni- niendatlon be not sufficient to Justify his election, It would be difficult to con ceive what should. It Is the men who have demonstrated their possession of the brains and ability to succeed In business that this state wants most of all in the legislature Just now. The Astorlan was favored on Monday with a very pleasant call from Mr. W. H. Leeds, candidate for Btate printer. Mr. Leeds Is one of the best qualified men In the state for this Important office; and tlje people are to be isjngratu- latcd on his prospective election. He considers the outlook favorable for the election of the entire Republican ticket. MEMORIAL SERVICES. The First M. E. church held a large audience lost Sunday evening, to listen to the able sermon of Dr. Bushong, his subject being "The Conflicts and Tri umphs of a Great ideal" (Liberty). The church was hitndsomely and taste fully decorated with the national colors and floral designs of various designs, and all arranged with an artistic grace worthy of an artist. The services were In honor of the G. A. R. posts and the Woman's Relief Corps, of this city. Dr.. Bushong traced his theme along the march of the age, beginning with the battle of Marathon to the surrender at Appomattox. He closed his brilliant discourse with a psroration to tlie Goddess of Liberty holding aloft the torch of freedom In New York harbor. The music by the choir, consisting of chants, anthems and patriotic songs, was admirably rendered, and udded In no small degree to the pleasure of the evening. DISPUTE IN THE TINNED SALMON TRADE. Mr. Justice Cave on Tuesday gave Judgment In tho case of Sutco & Co., of Liverpool and London, vs. Hughes & Co., of Liverpool, which was heard by him on Monday, and had reference to the Bale of a. quantity of tinned salmon which arrived by the steamship Lang dale. His lordship said the point, and the substantial point, In the case was that the plaintiffs ought to have sold a portion of the cargo, consisting of 3,5uu cases of salmon of the Polar Beur brund, before the arrival of the vessel In Liverpool. It, was alleged that they could have sold the consignment at IDs a case. But It was clear that buying cargoes to arrive was a sieculatlve mat ter, and the uncertainty In trade was falul to any attempts to deal with car goes before arrival. Therefore it seemed to him that the plaintiffs were Justilled In walling. The natural course of the market would be that the longer they waited the more they would get for the cargo. Hut owing to the extraordinary chunge In the market there was a fall, and the natural course of an upward tendency did not take plioe. Therefore, instead of cargoes which were expected having prkes going up, as the day of urrivul of the ship got nearer they went down, or rather, he should say, there were no sales. The buyers would not give the money which the selleis tx pected, and the sellers would not drop, in the hoi that there would be a turn In the market. He was satisfied that they never e.mld have sold at 19s. He had come to the concluson that the coun ter claim of the defendants failed, and that the plaintiffs were entitled to suc ceed. But the agreement provided that that they were only entitled to 1 1-i per cent cominisalon If there Bhould be a loss on the transaction. There had ben a loss, and consequently tho commis sion would be reduced from 21-2 ler cent to 1 1-2 per cent. That would amount to S8 10s, which would have to come out of the plaintiffs clulm of 461 2s lid. This would leave a balance of 372 12s Ud, and he gave Judgment for that amount with costs, but the defend ants were to have the costs of the ap plication at chumbers to obtain sum mary Judgment against them under or der 14, as there was a substantial de fense to the notion. Liverpool Mercury. TUB COST OF SHIRTS. New York Sun. It Is found at a rural shirt factory that shirts of white muslin and 2,200 linen may be produced at 73 cents per dozen. Each shirt passes through the hands of 17 oeratlves. and each woman employed averages about one doxen complete shirts per day. The greater part of the cost of production Is the ele ment of labor, and. while the average pay Is neweiMMrlly under 73 cents per day, some of the work women make a good deal more, while the superinten dent i, cutters anj the like are well paid..

In the 12 months ending December 31, 1832, we have produced and consumed more than In any other former year of our history, and this country was en Joying the highest degree It had ever uittalned, economically. Industrially and financially. Every mill and every fac tory was running at Its fullest capaci ty; every vehicle of transportation, whether by rail or water, had all and more than It could carry; o'tr output of plgl Iron was 1,000,000 tons more than In 1891, and 2,000,000 tons greater than that uf Oreat Britain In 1892; every blast fur nace and every mine was running day and night and could not then 1111 Us orders; we produced 200,000 tons of steel rails In 1892 more than In 1891; every manufacturer and builder had all and more than he could do; every working man, whether the ordinary laborer or the skilled artisan, who wanted work, had all and more than he could do, and received, therefor, ' the highest wages ever paid for labor since the creation of man; our foreign commerce amount ed to almost $2,000,000,000, a sum un preiedented and never before approach ed In our history; our domestic- com merce reached the astounding uggie ate of 3.r)O,000,OO0,O0O; our exports were over 3202,000,000 greater than our Im ports, while our Imports were many millions of dollars larger than ever be fore; our national wealth Increased very nearly $3,000,000,000 In 1892; our national receipts were hundreds of millions of dollars more than our expenditures; our credit was good and we had the confi dence of the whole world; in short, there never was a nation of a people that realized such wonderful prosperity and advancement as we realized und enjoyed In 1892. PICTURE TWO 1893. Between November, 1S92, when Mr. Cleveland was elected, und his Inaugu ration In March, 1893, our Industrlul and financial skies had become very dark and gloomy; our magnificent confidence had disappeared, our credit was be coming doubtful, and within a. few weeks the storm burst in terrible and devastating fury nil over our land. Taking It In ull resects, 1S93 was the most awful and depressing since we be came a nation. More than one-half of our mills and factories either had closed down or were running cn part time; freights, both by land und water, had fallen off tremendously, and a large proportion of our railrc&ds in the United States were bankrupt and In the hands of receivers, because they had not enough business to pay (he expenses of operating them; our blust furnaces were mostly blown out, and our mines closed; our manufacturers and builders found but very little to do; our merchants were all buying only for the- day or week; all business men were afraid of tomorrow; more than two millions (Mr. Gompers says three millions) of workers were Idle, becnusa there was nothing to do;-and as many more were working from one to three days er week. The two cities of New York and Brooklyn were dealing out charity to between two hundred thousand and three hun dred thousands per day, nnd taxing themselves over a hundred thousand dollars a day In cash to house, feed and clothe the needy, In addition to the amount given by the public authorities, because those needy ones had neither work nor money; our foreign commerce had fallen of over 135,000.000, and our domestic commerce a much larger sum; our national wealth had decreased In value nearly 19,000,000,000, almost as much as the late relellion cost the coun try. Three- months later than January t, 1894, there has been no visible Im provement; In March, 1894, our public debt increased over $13,000,000, and our secretary of the treasury Informs us that the fiscal year that will close June 30, 1894, will show that our exicndl tures will exceed our receipts by $73, 000,000; In short, there never was a na tion or people In all history that" ever realized In one year such appalling ad versity and disaster, such material nnd Industrial paralysis nnd destruction, as we suffered In 1893, and still suffer. WHY THE DIFFERENCE? Why , the magnificent, prosperity in 1892, mid why the unspeakable losses, distress nnd destruction of 193? There Is, there can be, but one answer to this very suggestive question, If we regard the striking contrast between 1S92 and 1893 In the light of the national experi ences we have passed through since 1783. The main cause, then, the real reason for this terrible change, these frightful losses. In wealth and In busi ness, this utter lack of confidence which everybody has In everybody else, Is the fact that In November, 1S92, a majority of both houses of congress, and an ex ecutive were elected upon a platform that declared protection "a fraud, a robbery and unconstitutional," the Me Klnley bill a "culminating atrocity," and who were pledged to remove and overthrow protection, and substitute therefor either fre-; trsde, or a tariff for rsvenue only, which Is practically the same thing. That threat of such a great economic change has been strongly In tensified by the Wilson bill, which has passed the house and Is now pending In the senate. Mr. Cleveland In the ium mr of 1S9S Intimated that the American people needed, and might get certain "object lessons," to teach them their po litical duties. Whether or not they needed them, 4t Is quite certain that they have had them, 'and have had all they want of that klT.d. A CALL. Astoria, Or., May 1st, 1S94. To B. S.
