Handley U Haas are our Portland agents and copies of the Astorlan can be had every morning at their stand on First st'eet It appears from Washington dls patch that the official statement ol the British government on the trade between the United States and that country for January and February has reached Washington. It Is calculated to cause consternation among the free traders of the United States. More convincing evidence against the new tariff could not be asked by those who apprehend evil results from It. The falling off In our sales of agricultural products to England during the months of January and February of this year are especially notable. The exports of cattle alone show a decrease of over 1913,000 over the two months of last year. The sales of American flour were over 4300,000 less than In the two months of the previous year. The sale of American bacon decreased over $300,000 In two months. The exports of fr?sh beef fell off to the amount of over $165,000. The sales of butter de creased from $165,000 to $30,000 In round rvumtoors. Our suit of salted fish fell off over one-half In the two momths, representing a loss of over $200,000, while, on the other hand, England sold us over $100,000 worth of fish, repre senting a gain of SO per cent In her commerce. Our sales of mares and igeldlngs, wheat, hams, and lard showed a Blight Increase, whille the ex. ports of sheep furnished the only In stance of a gratifying increase. If England bought more of our feheep, however, she evened up the deal by elllng us $261,000 worth of 'English wool In the two months, and over $2, 300,000 worth of Australian and Cana dian wool In the same period, tthjuttlna out the American produot to that ex tent Our sale of raw cotton decreas. ed over $2,000,000 for the two months, aiinougn we had the largest cotton crop for many years. The sales of un wrought copper fell off to the extenl of $350,000. The sale of timber de creased considerably over $600,000. Th exporto of tallow fell off $175,000 to $.",0,000 In round numbers, and the traf fic In cheese decreased to the amount of over $200,000. No lees appalling to American manufactures are the figure of the Increased imports from Eng land Into the United tSatei for thosi two months. In worsted goods we bought over $3,400,000 worth, an In crease of over $2,400,000, and In woolen yarns and tissues we bought to the extent of $923,000 against $384,000. Eng land even managed to sell us $60,000 worth of whisky and $150,000 worth ot tns-r and ale In those two months. greatly Increasing her trado of last year. We fcouerht over $2,000,OJ0 of cotton goods, an Increase of over $SO0,. 000. There was an Increase of over $1,000,000 In the Imports of linen goods. The Imports of carpets were more than trebled, and very much larger quanti ties of millinery and stationery came over from England. Manufacturers of ultks and silk mixed goods Increased In volume, and even old Iron for reman, uffu'ture came In to the extent of about $5,000. A long Hat of Items repre senting articles manufactured In this country also shows an Increase ol fp'r.t 20 to 50 per cent In the Importa tio'ia ovor the two months of last year. The reports of the oonnnerleal agen-ci- st for the past week Indicate a dls-tim-t Improvement In general business, c .nil, I, -nee Is returning among Invest ors, and thtTO Is a growing dexire to !:;v. st money, IiiHtoad of hiding It away in fnf.-ty vaul'a, where It does no cne tiny pvH'J. One Indication of this feel- in the Increased In-iuiry for the r 1. .) of the securities of the r :ls of rilroaU. Another is R'i !.!-.:!! ot speculation, and mm appreciation of the share traded Wall street. The rise in the price cotton to another manifestation healthy improvement, and 'the advance in wheat, though not maintained showj how rap'd the general advance will ibe when confidence Is fully re ' tored. It Is certainly evident on many Hides that the worst of the hard times Is over, ami though confidence Is plant cf slow growth, ft Is showing ("lslinat evidence of vitality. It Is en tlrt'ly evident that the whole tone of the business situation is Improved T!iere remains nothing to menace bus! tu .a Interests. A long respite from political or financial 'agitation is In vl'.v. The prolonged storage of pro- dilution has resulted in the exhaustion of stocks of goods on Wand and there i.i every reason to anticipate now tharp and full recovery in all Unes of trade. ' The railroad question may now be regarded as definftely settled, the com. mitten having unanimously agreed the modifications exacted ty Mr. Ham. mond, md a corps of engineers will be put In the field without delay. will truly be a red letter day In Asto ria's history when the work begins, for It 4s expressly stipulated and agreed by Mr. Hammond, that when once com menced, the work shall go on contln uoiisly until the road is entirely tin isherl. Never before has there been BiKh an earnest of the construction of the road as there Is at present, and so far as the basing of plans for the future Is concerned, the road may be considered as positively assured. Th difference between the present outlooV and that of a former period when the work was actually commenced, Is that then the funds to complete the road had to be obtained as the work pro gressed, while now the money Is al ready raised and available at this mo ment. Mr. Hammond's contract alone .vould be a positive guarantee that th oad would be built, even If there was not a dollar In sight to commence on as Mr. Hammond himself la worth nore than the amount necessary tc omplete the road, and he could am would build It single-handed and alon obliged to do It. The administration has changed ltr front on Nicaragua. It holds the posi tion laid down In the Behrlng Sea busi ness that any claim demanded by Britain should be paid. It has advised Nicaragua that their country should pay the Indemnity demanded, and at the same time told them that If Great Britain endeavors to enforce that de mand, nothing will be done by us t protect her unless Britain tries to ao quire territory, or play the policy so successful In Elgypt, and use the cus tom house to collect the Indemnity de manded. How different It would be 11 Benjamin 'Harrison were president, anc i worthy successor of James G. Blaine 'n charge of the state department. The committee of twqnty-one de serves much credit for their courage and promptness In closing with Mr Hammond. If he has done business, they have also done the same. Evei since they were Impressed on last Frl lay with Mr. Hammond's good faith vnd ability to carry out Ms proposed "ontract there has not been a laggard imongst them. They have been dill sent and faithful, and the people of Vstoi'la will not forget them. Mr. Hammond, out of aibujulant pre caution, has reserved plenty of time vlthln which to complete the railroad, but any one at all familiar with thf latest Improved methods and appll Antes for grading and building rail- nays knows there Is a good prospect :.ha't the road may be In operation b January 1, 1896. The tariff Issue will not do n. Th tariff Issue cannot down. The tariff Issue Is the one paramount Issue o. American politics. The tariff again on protective lines will do most to settle the question of national finance ant returning national prosperity. There Is good reason to believe that the building of the Goble road Is only a part of the good Mr. Hammond and his associates have In store for As toria. The next question for consideration Is what does the water commission propone to do about the water works? Take a dose of DeWltt's Little Early Risers Just fur the good they will do you.
