THE "ELEMQNTS OF (PROSiP'ElRITV." Mr. (L. Z. Lister, the retired' merdhant wiho amassed tro much iweamtih In trade at Chicago, says, like Senator David B. HM "I am a Democrat," But he Is at tb same time a firm protectionist, and one who recently expressed some homely tru'Wis that wo recommend to the careifut con sideration of his feow Dtimocroits. He has not a high opinion of Congressman, now t-ostimueter ueneral, Wilson. But who has? Mr. Lelter observed:- i iook upon 'Mr. 'wnson, n foolish. A man must be (foolltin to have made such a tariff hill, as the originally passed, and which ihe president approved of. It would have made iwtdespreid .ruin.

There were among them men who kn, w, as well as Mr. Lelter, the pernicious char acter of tOiat measure. But from lack of moral courage tihty voted for It, expecting that the eena'te wou'.d amend it in the In terests of home industries.

" a happy omen that yesterday, the dir of miners amd transporters would have celebrated by Astoria's, present popula- ,ost their last produot to keep the rall- tlon as the beginning of the city's dellv- erance from the chains Which have fet tered her development and progress, was the anniversary of the blrdi, on hundred and thirty-two years ago, of the city's namesake and founder, the renowned Jtfhn Jacob Aetor. The history of this remarkable man has such a special reia tlon to Astoria, and the example of his frugality and business habits is so valu able that a revldw of it at this particular time, nrtjst be of interest and profit to all. He was born at Waldorf, near Heidel berg, Germany, and was 'the fourth son of a tKiicher. At 16 years of age he Joined a elder brother In London, where their uncle had a piano and flute factory. Tho success of another brother, Henry, In New York, Induced John Jacob to try his fortune In the (United States, and when 20 years old he sailed for Baltimore with an Invoice of musical Intrum3nt3, to sell on commission. A fellow-voyager having told him of the great profits In buying furs from the Indians and fron tlersmen and selling tiiem to the large dealers, Astor learn hi ttu business with a Quaker furrier In New York, and then opened a shop in Water street. Hare he worktd early and late, except when ah sent on purchasing expeditions, for he did his own buying .is well as his own selling. Later he weat to London and formed connections with the fur trade Iter, and also arranged an agency for his uncle's Arm, Astor & Broad wood, to atii their goods in this country. He thus became, it Is said, the first regular dealer In musical Instruments in the United States. He married Surah Todd, who brought "him a dowry of 1300, buc her exctUent business sense and skill in the management of tho detulls of the busi ness wer of far greater value than the cash to the young merchant. In lifteen yeans, (before this century close!, he was worth tSW.000, and felt able to live in a nouse separate from his shop. Next he stmt gooOs w England In. his owm ships. He earnestly desired to nuke American trade In-dependent of the great Eng.lt'h companies, and in MOli asked the aid of congress In executing a great national scheme, the establishment of a line of i ratling poets irora the great lakes to the Pacific Coast, thus carrying clvllUa- lion Into the wilderness. Tne scheme in eluded a central depot at the mouth of the W.'uurtbia, the acquisition of one of the Sandwich (now Hawaiian) Islands, and 'the establishment of a line of tlilpa trading between the westorn shores uf America and the ports of China and In- Oa. Two expeditions went out, one by tand- and one by sea, and. In Ml the post of . Astoria was planted at 'Ihe mouth of 'the Columbia, and the echtnie was well under way when .the war of 1818 caused Its abandonment, and he never soiw ithe fruition of his great i.an for northwta&ern settlements; but they cams In time. His plan for Oriental trade was, however, realised. His patriotism and faith In the country led him to buy large. ly of national securities, at what was a high price at ch time, and his foresight was amply Justified by their doubling In value after the war. His investments In real estate In what were then the out lying districts of New York City, w.re long-headed, for as the cKy grew their value increased enormously. At o;i time he .was said to own 720 houses In that city, all of the beet design and construe, tlon. He built the Astor House, founded the Ai:or Library, and his gifts to It, with those of his heirs, amount to over a million doEars. He also founded the As tor Home In his native town, at a cost of o0,000, making it an Institute for ed ucating poor children, and an asylum for '.he aged and needy. But it is reason stole to believe that the city which bears his name on the once distant shores of the Pacific will do more to preserve his name from oblivion, and will yet come to be the proudest evidence of his sagacity and foresight known to his descendants. Mr. Astor died worth 120,000,000, and such was his business ability that the Amer ican poet, FHs Greene Haileck, who was for seventeen, years his private secretary declared he twouid have been successful In any profession. For the last twenty five years of his lite he retired from act ive business. His gifts to benevolent pro jects and public work were many end generous. 'He Is a rare example of a rich man making a wise and generous use of his wealth. The future Astoria will one day buSd two monuments to the memory of 'the men who have been greatest in her history. One of these monuments will be to John Jacob Astor, her founder, and tfhe other to A. B. Hammond, who roads alive. Was not this a murderous blow Struck at the railroads by their presKiemtr 'or ailnrlng It Mr. Wilson re- ceives the president e decorations. The murderous blow did hot happily strike iwiUh the effect that Was Intended, but the attempt has served to warn the country what it has to expect when the people put free-traUer in power.' It is noteworthy also that what Mr. Lleter eoya in regard to coal applies to other products that the Wilson bill would have admitted free. When foreign ma terials are allowed to displace home prod uces In our market then we are hostell ing itihait "widespread ruin" to whilch Mr. Iileter refers. It is notable aCso. that Mr. Lleter, who has paid millions of dollars of Import duties, upholds protection and peaks of "manufaotTirea, agriculture, and 'trans portation" as ".the .three great elements" of national prosperity. The promised advent of a railroad will bring down . upon lAsitorla a cloud of reail estate dealers and boomers, some of whom will be a credit to the city, and many will be otherwise. The men who have stood by the city and manifested their faith In her futiure during the dark and unpromising days of the past should have preference among our citizens, both In what they themselves may have to do in that line, as well as the recommenda Hons they may be called upon tj give strangers. Among those who testified their confidence 1n Astoria at a time when she most needed the encourageiment that comes from a show of enterprise and general good exaimpCe, none has been more prominent than ufoe head of the firm of R. L. Boyle & Co. Coming here with the beet cCass of outside endorsements, Mr. Boyle did not wait Ifor the railroad, but when many alder business men hes itated to venture another dollar on As toria's uncertain future, he quietly opened up and equipped one of the best appoint ed offices in the city. Such merit will not go unncognlzeU, and now Mint the rail road has as good as come, Mr. Boyle Is sure to enjoy his reward In a patronage Which will make him tooth prosperous and hai5y. whirl, as It wer., dexterously around on one root ana throw kisses. The business of .Indlng out what Jef ferson thought about money involves nothing of serlou? importance to this age. The name "dollar" was adopted ror ihe ciiventional unit because It hap- lened at the time to be the most avail able. Copper, gold and silver were all current ait the Mme. "The value of the gold pieces expressed In dollars was pret ty mucn t-.-.e same the country over," writes MoMatlter. "But th dollar and the silver pieces reg-irded as fractions ot a dollar had no less than live different values." S.i universal was dlnnlrg. counterfeiting and uncertainty of silver value that Washington himself said the day scorned near at hand when men would have to travel with balances in their pockd!). Even th paymaster of vne army sent for a pair of shears. " 'Tls a shameful business ar.J an unreasonable hardship on a public ollicer. 1 im jiot sure that I will receive any more bank go.a on ruciL, odious conditions. A pair of good shears, a couple of punches, and a leaden anvil of two or three pounds weifi'.n. win you inquire how the gold- emt'tr.s put In tlnlr plugs?" So wrote ricKerlng on Christmas eve. 17S2. Jefferson, commenting on Morris' plan. suggested as the foundation of the na tional monetary system, copper, gold and ellver, and there is no more room for debate about ;h:it than about the multi plication' tabl.j. Harvey knows this as well as Hotr. Nat only did he suggest a $10 gold p!cc9 an J ;00 concr to make a dollar's worth of silver, but in a letter to. james Monroe from rar.s he expresses regret tha'. he di-i not urge two gold coins a 13 one as well as a 10 one. Indeed, in a. note to me supplementary explana tions or nig coinage report he says: "I would :lll incline to give a little more man the market Value price for gold be cause or its superior convenience In transportation." That a man who real ize! inis essential' quality of money above all oth.ws in gold suJiild not have recognized that me:i as he highest of moneys anj niclii'lt'ile It In h i inodlflm. lion of the first plan submitted fur r.a. tlonal eutr:y is too obvious for dis cussion, even In J.-moj-lc hlpn.nlv.im.
