" WORK !POR THE CANNERS.
A letter was received by the Astorlan
yesterday from Mr. 'B. S. Pague, chair
man of the committee on state and coun
ty exhibits at the Oregon Industrial Ex
position. The communication says In
part:
"Our exposition this year will be the
largest and best ever 'held In the city.
We have the proper material connected
with the exposition In every department,
and it Is bound to be a great success.
Now w went you people to co-operate
with us. We want dried and stuffed fish
for decorative purposes; we want canned
Hah; we want some fish nets; we want a
fishing boat; we want to show all about
our great salmon Ashing Industry. We
.want the cannerymen to get up a gooa
exhibit for us, and will furnish free trans
portation for any such exhibit, no matter
tiow large, that you will prepare for us.
Your city and county ere now In their
great development period, and a good ex
titbit here would be very beneficial to
you. Then, too, it will bring you Into
closer contact with our people, and more
cordial feelings and relatione will neces
sarily exist."
ft seems to us that the above commu
nication contains some excellent sugges
tions. It Is right in line, too, with the
flints we have repeatedly given the Col
umbia River cannerymen to the effect
that there Is a system of advertising
their product which appeals to the eye,
and which Is In its way Just as valuable
and juBt as productive of good results
as any other kind of advertising at their
disposal. If a little energy is displayed
during the next few days by the packers
there Is no doubt that they will be able
to make a showing at the Portland Ex
position that will relloct the greatest
credit on themselves and the county and
state at large.
We would suggest that the exhibit be
immediately put into Bhape by a com
mittee chosen by the cannerymen for
that purpose, and the gentlemen so
chosen should bear In mind that a little
expense. Judiciously entered Into, will
repay them a hundred fold. It Is to be
hoped; that matters In connection with
this exhibit may be so expedited that,
when completed, It will be at once the
most conspicuous and the most pleasing
object In the wfiole exposition. There Is
plenty of material at hand to make It so,
and It would be hard Indeed to find an
Industry that lends itself so we'.l to pic
turesque representation, as the Colum
bia River salmon trade.
INCRIBASINO IMPORTS.
The review of our foreign trade for
the 'fiscal year ending on June 30, 1895, In
' the commercial column of the Bulletin
for Friday last, may be read with profit
by voters who are Inclined to regard
the present tariff as a finality, Without
reviewing the review in this column, we
cull attention to two or three salient
points In it.
The Increase In Imports for June Is
rearly 110,000,000, the decrease In exports
for the tame month being over $2,500,
000. The Increase In Imports for the year
were 76,903,2i3. The Increase In cottan
manuTactuies in 1895 over the picedlng
year Was over (10,000,000. The Increase In
silk manufactures was over (1,000,000. But
the wool Item Is the most startling of all.
The value of wool monufaeturcs for the
year ending In 1805 was $33,512,390, against
J19.S91.8&0 In 1S94. We paid for raw wool
in 1895 JX,5G6,42l, against $ti,10T.43S In 1)4.
The free wool Hum in the present tariff
Increased our Imports of the raw article
of wool by more than J19,000,000, and our
imports of wool manufactures by more
than 116,000,000. On the wool item alone
more than $35,000,000 'has been rent out o(
the country for nmtorl.il and goods which
under the McKlnley tuiiff we produced
for ourselves. The men who would have
raised the wool and the other men who
would 'have -woven it Into cloth form a
part of the great army of unemployed.
There has been no Increase In the exports
of manufactured goods to compensate
for the Increase In imports. In fact, there
van a smal Increase in our exports ot
cotton manufactures.
j.1-.1 .' 1- . t j
However ready a certain class of poli
ticians have been to decry the bargain
made by the administration with tho
Belmont-Morgan syndicate, when the
whole history of the transaction comes to
be known, there is reason to believe It
will turn out to be one of the most ad
vantageous deals, from the standpoint
of the public good, ever made between
a government and its private cltlsens.
There can be little doubt that the syn
dicate has been the means of saving
the government's credit, and that a large
mi-mure, Is not nearly every visible flgn
of Warning business conll fence has been
due to the admirable manner In which
the syndicate has kept faith with the
government, and fulfilled to the very let
ter It contract to stand between the
treasury and the sharks who were haz
arding the government's financial de
struction. There has been much wonder
and speculation In financial circles as to
how the syndicate has been able to ac
cumulate the gold which It has from
time to time voluntarily exchanged at the
treasury for greenbacks, but whllo the
manner in which it has been done is not
absolutely known, because the syndicate
has not seen fit to make public Its op
erations the most pJausible theory ad
vanced to account for it la that most
of the gold have been obtained from San
Francisco, and through tho syndicate's
purchase of bullion checks. The circu
lation on the Pacific Coast is practically
all gold, and there Is a constant move
ment of money from, here East. As a
result of this San Francisco exchange
on New York Is usually at a premium,
equal to the cost of transporting gold
across the continent. For the same rea
sons New York exchange on San Fran
cisco is often at a slight discount, al
though for some time past it has been
at par. By offering exchange on San
Francsieo, therefore, the syndicate can
accumulate large quantities of gold In
San Francisco at practically no expense.
The syndicate can also procure gold by
buying bullion checks Issued for bullion
deposited at the assay offices and the
government mints, these at the present
time, when there is a demand for gold,
being at a slight premium, In this fash
ion, It is believed, the syndicate has been
enabled, with little expense, to accumu
late practically the entire product of the
American gold mines, which average usu
ally about $35,000,000 a year.
In our telegrams this morning will be
noticed the details of another miserable
mining disaster that occurred yesterday
in Colorado. The frequency cf these
appalling accidents 'to onlners, and the
almost Invariable laxity of supervision
which brings them about, seems to us
to open up a very grave question. Not
withstanding the stringency of laws ro
tating to careful examination of the
strength and safety of walls and com
partments of mines in most of our states,
It is a matter of common knowledge, that
very few attempts' are ever made to en
foro such provisions. The result is that
month after month the criminal negli
gence of overseers engaged In mining
work is responsible for the loss .of many
human lives.
THE OTHiBIl SIDE.
A Jlossbaek's 'Ideas of the Advancement
of Astoria.
The following communication Is pub
lished by request:
Astoria, August 29, 1S9G.
To the Editor:
I see by the papers much Is being said
about the manner of operating in real
estate, so far all eeem to bo of the sime
opinion. That Is, it should be"" done
through an exchange or proper organiza
tion. Now for the Bake of argument 1
wish to advance a few ideas on the other
side. The idea seems to be to protect
property owners and see that they are
not cheated .wronged or defrauded by
dishonest real estate operators, shysters
and frauds. Now we that are here now,
and of whom the organization Is to be
formed are all honest; hence I cannot
see any present need for this organiza
tion; and it would seem to the outside
world that we were organizing against
ourselves. We are not doing any burl
ness and have done none, and we cannot
say that any fraud Is Intended. And
further, I don't, see that we are oaClecl
upon to form a "guarantee committee"
to administer on the affairs of those who
may come here to Invest their money
to see that they get good bargains, omt
their money's worth. Rather let us wait
until we are doing business, or have
done a sufficient amount of business to
demonstrate whether or no the people ot
this city aire being cwlndled, and that
dishonest parties have come In and are
practicing their dishonest methods. Then
It will be time enough to act, and do
It In such a manner as may seem best.
Some talk very glibly about Chlcugo and
Salt Lake cities having exchanges. Chi
cago had no exchange until many years
after its boom, the ramo with Salt Lake,
I lived there and know of what I write.
But wo need not go so far from home
for precedents; I will ask 'has Portland,
has Tneonitt, has Seattle, all exchanges,
or did have during their boom days, not
as any one knows of; now If it Is Buch a
good thing, why hove they pot. I would
suggest that we go a little slow In this
matter, keep quiet till we do some busi
ness, get a boom, all get rich, and then
organize an exchange and make It a penal
offense for Infraction of its rules.
AV.
That tho spirit of mosslbacklsnn Is not
yet extinct Is evidenced by the above
letter, To "go a little slow, keep quiet
till we do somo business, get a boom,
all get rich and then organize an ex
change," would bo to wait for the mll
lenlum, Tho real estate men of nny
community are Us progressive men In all
matters pertaining to the growth and
Improvement of the town or city, as they
are primarily Interested in such growth
and to wait until after tho growth comes
would of course be suicidal to thoso In
terests which expect to reap benefits dur
ing tho progress of events. To bring
about growth and Improvement requires
tho citizens of any community to bo on
the alert, and ready and eager to take
advantage of every opportunity to put
their claim to pre-eminence before the
public and let people know what they
have to offer to Investor and settlers.
It Is also essential that the true Interests
of a community be protected by avoiding
a reputation for crooked deals and fake
land schemers. None of tho residents
of Astoria or its real estate dealers want
to give the place a black eye by floating
worthless property when there Is plenty
of good property to be bad, or selling
socond grade property for tlrst-class,
when all grades can be sold on their
merits at reasonable profits. To prevent
this kind of dealings by professional
sharks who are most likely to flock In
here when things begin to move and to
secunj proper advertisement and advance
ment of Atstorla's real Interests should
bo the aln of its Real Estate Exchange.
A "boom" In the ordinary acceptance
of the term la not what Is wanted or
desired. A steady growth In both popu
lation and business enterprises on a solid
and permanent basis Is the object in
view by those Interested In the new
movement and Is what can be acconv.
pllvhed by Joint action on broad planes
and the elimination of all petty Jeal
ousies and small personalities.
