CLEANLINESS AND ' QUA'LITT.
It i perhaps more neceswary that the
utmost cQeanClnevs should be a mix'm
with the saSmon packer than with any
other man Who place a canned product
on the market, for the reason that noth
ing is so suscepHUe to the influene;s of
'outside odors as tha fleshi of fish. All
meat has a hardy, fibrous outside, which
to certain extent seems to be able
to repel anything that wou'.d tend
pollute It, lor a considerable length of
Urn With fish it Is different. In fact,
the pecwlan face of the salmon when cut.
acts as a sponge, .rapidly absorbing any
odor in tti air around it, and for that
reason going on the foad to decay far
more aulcklv thart any other class of
food.
This being the case, canneymen on the
Columbia! River should not for an In.
slant permit themselves to forget that
cleanliness in the preparation of salmon
for market can not be pushed to too ex.
treme a, point. Water is cheap, and the
hose If judiciously and constantly ap
piled, wherever the butcher's knife has
been, can be made to keep things as pur
and sweet as the outside air itself. Bey.
eral of th oanners, we are pleased to
see, ully recognize these Important mat
ters, n& a visitor to their institutions
cannot help but b favorably impressed
with his surroundings, so much so in.
.deed that tve is turned into a constant
living advertisement of the brands of
salmon put up under such excellent con
r. dIUons. But there are some packers,
who, on the other hand, while we be-

times In the hurry and rush of probiblj
Overcrowded returns from their boats,
make it a secondary matter. After many
hours of consecutive work, with every
man on the jump, nothing comes easier
than a general cessation of labor, and so
it is "that the "dlar-up" is postponed
till next morning.
Here is where the mistake Is unado,
The clean-up should not under any cir
cumstances be delayed a single moment
longer than is absolutely necessary. The
moment the butchers have got away
with all the fish In sight, washing opera,
lions should ensue, and every nook and
crevice In the floors of the building should
be scoured diltgentCy end as contcl.
entlouwly as If they had never been at
tended to before. Nothing accumulates
more quickly than dirt, and the refuse
of a cannery, as a result of one day's
operations, If not removed almost as
soon s It Is deposited, begins to im
pregnate even the solid woodwork with
its insldOous odors. Once It has reached
that far the only way to get rid of it Is
to burn down the cannery, and, like
Charles Lamb's origin of roast ,plg, the
practice in time would become a little
expensive.
It is our belief that, n Studying out
the stepping stones to success in this
business of canning salmon, an acute
man of affairs would undoubtedly place
in the first line the quality of his goods,
and the cleanliness of the methods em
ployed in packing them. Indeed, how
ever fine the fish Itself when It enters the
cannery, without the environment of ab
solute and perfect cQeanllners it value
a a food product is reduced to nil.
The May Importations of sugar, while
heavier than in ny month since the new
law we nit into effect, showed cUarly that
the expectation of 140,000,000 of revenue
yearly from sugar is not going to be
realised. Instead, it now looks as though
It would not be over fcS.000,000. The May
Importations were 630,697,599 pounds, val
ued nt a trifle over 19,000,000, and paying
a duty of about $3,(00,000. This Is more
than one-eighth of the total foreign sugar
consumption of the country. The im
portations of foreign sugars during the
last four yvars have averaged about
1,860,000,000 pound a year. Even it the
importations of the coming year run up
to 4,000,000,000 pounds, which is not at all
likely, the receipts from the duty there
on would be little over $35,000,000, sines
sugar is still low in price and the ad
valorem duty correspondingly low. It 11
probaMe that the June imports, however,
w:li be nearly as great as those of May,
since June has of late been nearly at
good a month for Importaitlons us May,
wh'.le the small imports during March
and April wlU probably increase some
what those of June, as they did those of
May. The discovery Uit while the May
Importations ot this article were nearly

The Encyclopedia Brltiannlca, the PI
onfjer Press Bays, has been tabooed by
the Confederate Veteran Association. At
a meeting of that organization, held a
shout time ago in Houston, Tex., it was
declared that this work was not a de
sirable one for Southerners to have in
their families, because the account of
the war of the secession was given in
unfairness and with misrepresentation.
These, however, were the veterans, who,
perhaps could hardly ibe expected to
agree with the world's estimate of the
civil war. The younger generations in
the SauUh will go 'to the standard author
itlie for historical inflormaltlon and will
accept the concensus handed down to
them by the leading historians of the
time, rather th'an the traditions of re
sentment which the Confederate surviv
ors would preserve.
THE "COMMON PEOPLE.'
They Were Fooled Last Time, but Won't
Be Next Time. .
.Astoria, Or., June 14th, 1805.
Editor Astorian:
.Wo we told that silver is the moray
of the "common people." I take It that
by the "common people is meant the
laboring classes.- It Is argued that by
adopting free coinage, we will have
cheaper money, but more of it. The la
boring classes were told in 1802 that If
they would elect a Democratic president
and a Democratic congress the laboring
people would get cheaper clothing, cheap
er food, and, in fact, cheaper everything,
but more of It. The people voted es
reputisted, and they got . Clothing,
food ami, in fact everything else Is
cheaper; but wlikiti good doets Itlhiat do
the laboring main, If he has no money
with which to buy. High prices moke
high wages, and low prices make low
wages. The common people no more
want cheap money than they want low
prices, and, consequently, low wages,
What they do want is high prices, high
wage9, and honest money, good as
any. money ini the world. DEBTOR.

The Boston Journal of Commerce
ays: "Several New York Arms that are
engaged In the export business have
formed an ttauaciaUon for the purpose
of engaging .men to act as agents for
thtim in Ithe dlltrent foreign countries
where they hfcive business to some ex.
tent t the present Urn. They intend
that thrir representatives, or these
agents, itiall reside in these countries and
Wote their entire time to the extension
of thRtr business. This Is a very import
ant move and one in the rght direction,
and we fitly believe it will succeed In
our rapidly gaining a foothold where at
present we have tittle, if any, business.
It Is Important to have men m the
localities whvre we wish to capture trade.
for in doing o they are able to under-
sfar.d precisely the clas of goods wt
should make and the manner in which
thcr sS-.ould fcc put up."
The week has produced leas excitement
In business circles than last week, but
It has seen steady maintenance of Im
provement. None of the gains which
have marked the movement of prices
since the middle of April have been lost.
On the contrary, additional advances in
staple com modi ties are reported. For the
fourth week in succession the aggregate
of bank clearing exceeds the total of the
preceding week; this time the gain is
three per cent,. The long forward stride
toward the usual volume of business
activity, made in the last few weeks car
ries with it evidence of continuance. It
Is not a temporary spun, but Is a genuine
revival of trade founded on return ot
normal conditions affect. ng the basis ot
commercial activity. Twenty staple com
modities are quoted by Bradstreet's as
advancing in price thus week, including
cereals, hides, leather and shoes, iron
steel 'end copper, sugar and cotton. Six
staples are unchanged, that is, have
maintained prior advances. These in
clude lumber, coal and wool. ' Only oats,
cattCe and hogs have declined.
The Dry Goods Economist, of New
York City, appreciating the general, de
sire for reliable Information as to the
recent Improvement In bus.ness, has done
the country a service by sending the fol
lowing questions to houses doing business
In all sections of the Union, and by pub
ll'ihing a summary of the answers:
1. Do you regard the present signs of
commercial prosperity as a trustworthy
lnd.catlon of a permanent improvement T
2. Do you anticipate higher prices? t.
Do you think that any advance in raw
materials Is likely to alter the prices ot
fabrics this coming season? 4 Have the
recently manifested upward tendency ot
prices had, any noticeable effect on the
volume ot your current and advance
sales? 6. Do you believe that prices
will eventually adjust themselves to a
basis approaching that of "91 and '92, or
will they remain nearer the present low
scale? 6. What do you hear from your
customers regarding? Industrial condi
tions? 7. what Is yew impression re
garding condition of stocks In the luande
of reta.lers? 8. What do you think of
the outlook for fall business?
Tha most gratifying feature of the re
turns Is the fact that about 90 per cent of
the houses responding say that In their
opinion appearances are Indicative of a
return, more or less rapid, to permanent
prosperity. Sixty per cent are confidently
looking for a return to ' considerably
higher prices, while about 20 per cent
think there will be only a slight Increase
of rates. Few predict a complete restor
ation of the prices of goods and labor
that ruled in 1892. These forecasts do
not essay a long range, but are confined
to the near future. As to the perman
ency of prices, embodied in question No,
6, there Is naturally much reluctance on
the part of business men to prognosticate.
Only 12 per cent give a positive affirma
tive reply, while 67 per cent incline to
the belief that low prices will continue;
the remainder decline to express an opin

MARVELOUS RESULTS.
From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun-
derman, of Dlmondale, Mich., we are
permitted to make this extract: "I
have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re
sults were almost marvellous In the
case of my wife. While I was pastor
of the Baptist Church at Rives Junc
tion, she was brought down with
Pneumonia, succeeding L Grippe. Ter
rible paroxysms of coughing wculd last
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as If she could not survive
them. A friend recommended Dr.
King's New Discovery; it was quick in
Its work, and satisfactory in its re
sults." Trial bottles free at Chas.
