The shippers and business men of Portland are elone to blame for Ore gon's fcuirtl!tlng predicament with Ref erence to the rich and rapidly growing oriental trade. But for the piggish and short-sighted poHoy they have so long and obstinately pursued In Impeding and discouraging tho development of Oregon's superb and only seaport, As toria would today be the most natural and convenient point on the whole Pa cific coast from which to handle and control this great trade. California nd the Sound ports have been quick to take advantage of a bigoted and selfish spirit which over, looked Its real competitors, od saw only a rival and an enemy In the little struggling Bister city whl.h ought to have been cultivated as a friend and which might have been developed into commercial ally of the most useful and powerful kind. This narrow and mistaken policy Is now beginning to bear Its Inevitable-and legitimate fruit. While Portland has been wasting her ulbstamce and diverting her energies In a vain and foolish attempt to maintain n ancient prestige, contrary to the taws of nature and the modern tenden cies and requirements of business, her actual rivals on the north aaa Bouth bave been sapping her resources and cutting off her trade. It Is a sad com. mentary on the commercial decadence of this once proud and boastful metrop olis to read in the columns of one of her leading papers the ecstatlo an nounoement that a car load or two of eggs and potatoes have been shipped east over the mountains, side by side wtth a lugubrious wall and complaint that the enterprising merchants of Ban Franctaoo and Tacoma tore monopoliz ing the cargo space of outgoing steam ers from these thriving1 ports with thousands of tons of flour and other products for the markets of China, Japan and Alaska. Whose fault Is it thlat the merchants of Portland, and the farmers of the Willamette and Columbia are not par ticipants in the revival of business that the opening of these new and lucra tive markets is bringing to other sec tions of the Pacific slope? Who Is responsible for the anomalous condi tion that cuts off the greatest produc ing region of the particular commodities now In dwnand In the Orient from that market? It cannot be "because na ture has deprived this vast and fertile se3tkxn of an outlet to the ocean. An examination of the map shows Its pos session of the finest and most favored seaport on the coast, and that at the mouth of the second greatest river on the American continent. No, H Is not because of any la ok of natural means of transportation, but because the men who might have pro fited most iby availing themselves of these lavish gifts of nature have spent their time and money In an effort to thwart the kind offices of nature, and produce a condition aa artificial as that of causing a stream to run upward. There Is enough Idle money In Portland and the Willamette Valley today tc build two or three railroads to Astoria, and wtth the railroads will come steam ship lines which from that point of vantage can and will control the trade both with the Orient and Alaska. The only hope of the business men and farmers of Oregon Is In this direc tion. Without this outlet the state cannot prosper, (because It Is now en tirely cut off from the world's markets by the commercial foes that Portland's blind and egotistical folly has per mitted to creep in Bund surround us. Tiii development of Astoria. Is certain to restore Oreg.m's prosperity, and make ncr the leading end the richest slate In the Northwest. Portland has I -ought the state to the, verge of utter ml and dismay, buV Astoria, wHfh the rltfit entsiwagement will become her complete salvation. The continued exclusion of American lu-oducts from foreign markets on ac count of certain provisions of our new tariff law is one that seriously affects ;h - Interests of the farmers. Our ex-;,o.-ts of agricultural staples In 1894 w. re far below those of any recent year in value; and these retaliatory proceed In,' are calculated to OV further Injury to a class of citizens having special ('.alms upon the favor of the govern ment. L'ndtT the Republican rcclproci ,y policy, the markets of our farm pro ducts were being gradually extended, trid good prices were being obtained for all that we sold; but as soon as that policy was abolished by a Demo cratic congress, the demand began to lessen and the prices to fall. Such a result was predicted by the Republi cans, and now it Is an accomplished fact. The experiment has been tried, and It has turned out to be a failure. There Is mo room for discussion where we thus have practical, and conclusive testimony as to the effect of a given theory. The farmers who voted the Republican ticket in 1892 with ths be lief that they were promoting their own welfare can readily see that they made a terrible mistake, for the iwoof of It Is a part of their personal ex Iicrlence. It Is well to remember that In 1889, under Republican rule, wheat sold at an average of 69 cents; in 1892 It sold at 62Mi cents, and In 1894 It sold at less than 50 cents. Cotton sold at 8'j cents per pound In 1892, and at less than 5 cents In 1894. Corn brought a better price In 1894 than In 1892, but only because there was much less of It to sell, and many farmers did not have any. The crop of 615,000,000 bushels of wheat In 1892 put $411,000,0(0 Into the pockets of the American farmers, whereas for the crop of 1894, amounting to 4C0,00O,0O0 Ibushels, they received only $278,000,000, a loss of $133,000,000. They got $802,000,000 for a crop of 1,628, 000,000 bushels of corn in 1892, and only $624,000,000 for a crop or 1,212.000,000 bushels in 1894. The cotton crop ot 6,717,000 bales In 1892 sold for $331,0o0,000 while the crop of 9,600,000 bales in lt9i will not sell for more than $275,000,000. These figures Bhow what the Demo cratic plan of conducting the affairs of the government Is costing the far mers. Their losses are probably greater than those of any other ele ment of tho population. They have to bear the heaviest portion of th. burden of tariff reform and anti-reciprocity. But the time is coming when they will have a chance to rectify the mistake which has proved to be so ex pensive to them, and they will cstalnlj not fall to vote for the restoration of the Republican party to power.
