Handley Co.. are our Port land agent, and copies of The Aatorlan can be bad every morning at their itaod, 124 Third street. And now Populist Peffer and Coxey are at odds. Peffer declares there will be no fusion of Populists and free sil ver men this time, that the Democrat will be whipped out of their boots, and that four years hence the Populists will triumph. Coxey meanwhile is jealous oi Peffer, because he suspects that he will be the nominee of the People's par tya nomination he wants himself. There are no signs of agreement be tween them. Peffer wants free coin age of silver, Coxey wants free coinage of paper. Both men are rotten on the money question, and are not only jeal ous of each other but of all the other rotten men to whatever party they be long. It is a cheerful spectacle of rot tenness. The Europeans have very sharply de fined ideas about William McKinley, of Ohio. They think they are well In formed about him. The prejudice against Maojr McKinley is by no aiean confined to the British Empire. It is rampant in Germany, fierce In France, active In Austria, and percepti ble wherever there are manufacturers abroad seeking American markets. Whatever may be thought on this side the Atlantic, the people abroad who produce goods for our consumption have the notion that when they are taxed for selling their stuffs here they pay the taxes, and they have become so accustomed to the peculiar politics, philosophy and economy of the free trade Democracy free trade in our markets for those who do not aid us to bear the cost of the government ether than through customs duties that they regard themselves as wrong ed by what they are pleased to term VcKlnleyism. and they resent the nom ination of McKinley by the Americans for the presidency. A dissonant medley triumphed at the polls four years ago. This triumph pa raded as a Democratic party victory. But there could be no fusion of such discordant elements, united only by a sentiment of hostility to the party in power. Ex-President Harrison keenly satirixed the undertaking of Cleveland to drive his wild and balky horses in harness. Everybody can see its inevit able conclusion today in the upset char lot and the stampede of the free-silver coinage steeds, in utter defiance of the call of their would-be driver. Fortu nately for the country, no such incon gruous union is possible this year. Gold and silver standard Democrats cannot be yoked together again by any flimsy straps of pretense. While the support ers of the sound money cause are Joln . Ing ranks of indissoluble solidity be hind the Republican standard, the free silverites are obviously distracted and likely to remain so in this campaign. Teller is heading the rally of free-silver Republican bolters with assurances of support from prominent Populists and labor union leaders. The free silver Democrats at Chicago are declaring their intention of nominating a straight party ticket. The disorganized Popu . lists will put up a candidate of their own or divide their votes between the silver Republican and Democratic can didates. Unless a seemingly imprac ticable union can be effected, the only solid party this year will be the Re publican standard bearers. 1 A REVIVAL OF CONFIDENCE. The firm stand taken by the Repub lican national convention fur sound money has had its efft on the finan cial world. It was almost like chang ing light into day. Where there was doubt before, a reign of content fol lowed, and this was accentuated by the quick response made In London. American securities were In demand in the English money markets, and our stocks ran up the scale 2Kj to 5 per eent. Could anyone imagine that there would have been the same feeling had the financial plank of the platform been of a doubtful character? It Is another way of giving expression to the belief on the other side of the ocean that the Republicans are to be victo rious in the presidential election. The London Economist, In an article a few days before the convention, gave ex pression to this view In these words: "It Is easy to understand why the results of the national conventions are exciting so much anxiety. If they point to the election of a president fully com mitted to the maintenance of gold pay ments, and strongly supported by the eountry, the probability is that there will be a distinct improvement in the financial situation. The distrust w hich European Investors regard American securities will be largely dispelled, and thus one of the main causes of the continuous efflux of gold from the treas ury will be removed." Judging from reports abroad there has scarcely ever been a period when the Investing nations of Europe wire prepared to take such a large amount of external securities as they are at present. The cry at London has long been what a large sum of American stocks and bon.ls would be taken by that market. If adequate assurance were Riven that we are safe against drifting upon the silver basis. That assurance Is now afforded In the most unmistakable terms; and no one doubta that, next November, It will be con firmed by the popular vote. Alluding to the situation in New York. Henry Clews & Co. say: "Wall street la not yet ready to give full effect to this complete turn In affairs. To Siime extent. It Is taken by surprise it this political result. The Inlawing dis play of force that has been made by the silverites had largely moderate 1 ex pectations as to the outcome of the conventions. It was very generally feared that both parties would ad. pt a V rai! !'." n ihf silver ques tion: and consequently the large . pera- tors, who five direction to the course of the market, were unprepared for the five and sustained buying opoiatlms which the result now warrants. In stead, therefore, of a great sensational rise that would discount the whole ef fect of the new situation within a week. we seem more likely to have a steady upward movement, extending over the summer months. This Is the safer course for matters to take; as opera' tlons will then bo supported by the gradually extending effects of the res toratlon of business in all departments. and will be Justified by constantly nc cumulating encouragements." It is felt all along the line that the finances of the country will soon be In safe hands, and that the surrency sys tem will be so reconstructed that the West and South will be supplied with a currency that will suit them better than what they seem to think they want. ELECTRIC BITTERS. Electric Fitters Is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gener ally needed when the languid, exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative Is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and per haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will ac more surely In counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti pation, Piixlness yield to Electric Bit ters. 5e and fl.W per bottle at Chas.

AMONG SOME OF THE FAIREST SCENES. On this continent and in the tropics, malaria poisons the atmosphere with its pestilential breath, sowing the seeds of disease and death In every di rection. It Is in such localities that the preventive and remedial qualities of Hoste Iter's Stomach Bitters are most conspicuously shown. For every form of malaria It Is a signally efficacious remedy, and conquers disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, remedies in activity of the kidneys, and counteracts the weakness and lack of stamina I which invites disease b levelling the barrier which a vigorous operation of i the digestive and secretive orgnna op poses to it. No defensive medicine In use has stronger commendations in pro fessional quarters both for purity and remedial qualities. Did you ever know how many wom en there are of Indiscreet patriotism, who prefer a dozen struggling socie ties to one strong, moving organiza tion? The two most critical times in a wom an's life are the times which make the girl a woman and the woman a mother At these times. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is of incalculable value. It strengthens and Invigorates the organs distinctly feminine, promotes regularity of the functions, allays irritation ani Inflammation, checks unnatural, ex hausting drains, and puts the whole delicate organism Into perfect condi tion. Almost all the ills of woman kind are traceable to some form of what is known as "female complaint." There are not three cases In a hundred of woman's peculiar diseases that Dr. Pierce's favorite Prescription will not cure. T!e subtle fascination that every thing English has for the American girl makes the flat-heeled shoe her spe sptclal desideratum. MARVELOUS RESULTS. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun derman, Dimondale, Mich., we are per mitted to make this extract: "1 have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King' New Discovery, as the results were al most marvelous In the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeed ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms or coughing would last hours with llt'l interruption, and it seemed as If she could not survive them. A frierd recommended Dr. King's New Discovery: It was quick In Its work, and highly satisfactory In Its results." Trial bot tles free at Chas. Rotters' Drug Store. Regular size, S4c and tl.OO.

We are anxious to do a little good in this world and can think of no pleas anter or better way to do It than by recommending One Mlnue Cough Cure as a preventative of pneumonia, con sumption, and other serious lung trou ble that follow neglected cold. Chas. Rogers. There Is no bore like the woman who Insists upon telling of her European experiences.

In Medieval Days When people wanted in thing th. y knelt down and prayed tor it How ever, that was some time iiko. Along about 10 a fellow named Cutrn berg, who bad "come de Khtne over," was monkeying urounJ a carpenter shop in Lents He whit tled some little blocks and actually made an alphabet. Then he rU'Ked a sort of well, a machine that would look something like our let ter press of today. He arranged hts block In order, put some Ink on them, also a piece of pupcr. and then screwed his press down. That was called printing. Old tlutrnberg made a howling success of the racket, and his head Uvsme so ' swollen that he really nulted the king one day. The king overlooked it however, for he had an Idea what kind of fellows printers would be. Well, finally they got tne print ing system down pat, and, as the centuries rolled by, began printing newspapers first person. Invariably singular number, any gender and hard case. In This Enlightened Day There are many newspapers as a matter of fact. But It la an utter Impossibility to get a newspaper to admit it. The advertising patronuge of a newspaper depends largely yes, wholly upon Its circulation. A newspaper Is a great deal like the human body: If. its circulation Is good. It prospers: otherwise, otherwise. Some papers putHlh Want Columns That ts, a column, or a number of columns, devoted to small advertise ments. If a fellow wants anything trouble, a wife, a house don t make any difference what It ts he can get it by means of a small ad. Included in tne "r.'" column are "For Sale," "For Kent," Lost." "Found." "Stolen" and 'Miscel laneous." Now, Just see what chumps some people are! Why. a man has been known to hunt over a city this city for days looking for a house In which to live. Hhii he come to The Asioriar office and asked for a want ad. he could have gotten his house without the bast bit of trouble and for about :5 cents. It Is Needless To tell of The Astorinn's circula tion. The paper has been estub !lnhed for a quarter of a century. Why, old Concomly rad the first rumor of the building of a railroad to his braves from lu Cuvulatlun Is The Astorlan'a long suit. Conse quently, when a fellow comes into The Astorlan office, looks pleasant, throws down 25 cents on the coun ter and says he wants a house, he gets It s o ooooo t.ckiinSvhy just Think! rercome The Astorlan goes Into every house In Astoria and a great majority ol those in the surrounding seetions of Oregon and Washington. Hence, It you Insert an ad. In The Astorlan, It Is equivalent to engaging a man to go around to all those houses and telling the Inmates that you want something or have something for sale. Why, talk about a snap! A Bit of Advice When you want anything no mat ter what It Is when you have any thing for sale; when you lose, firm or steal anything, come around and tell your trouble to The Astorlan. Bring 23 cents with you, and, above all things, look pleasant. Tell the clerk that you want a want ad. In the want column, give him your 26 cents and go away happy.

It has been a rcvoid of uupntnllid Incapacity, ill, honor and disaster. In administrative management It ha ruthlisaly sactillo ed ludlspenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expense with lauxowed money, piled up the public duht by $.H3.t!0,toO In time of peace, forced an adverse bal unce of trade, to n perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syn dicate and reversed all the measure and result of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of It policy It ha precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, cloned factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and clip pled American production w hile stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market. Kvcry consideration of public .'ufety and Individual Interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hand of those who have shown themselves Incapable of conducting it without disaster at home .uid dishonor abroad, and shall be re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with uneualed success and prosperity. A PmitYiivr Tariff. We renew and emphaslre our allegi ance to the policy of protection a the bulwark of Amrrlcan Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. Till true American Kilcy taxes foreign pro duct and encourage home Industry; It put the burden of revenue on for--Ign goods. It secure the American market for the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wage for the American worklngman; It puts the factory by the aide of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In It reasonable ap plication It Is Just, fair, and impartial, equally oposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional. Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprUc. We demand such equitable unif on foreign IrniKirt which com Into competition with American pro-! duds as will not only furnish adequate j revenue for the necessary expense of i the government, hut will protect Amer ican luhor from degreilatlon to the wage level of other land. We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rate I a practical question, to be governed by the condi tion of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle Is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The country demands B right settlement and tin n It want rest. Rfi-ijirnciiy With Oilier Nations. We believe the repeal of the recb pno liy arrangements negotiated by the last Republican administration nil a national calamity, and we demand their renewal ami extension on uch terms as will equalise our trad.; with other nations, remove the restriction which now obstruct the sale of Amer ican produi ts In the ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar ket of our farms, forests and factories Protection and reciprocity are twin measure of Republican policy, and go hand In hand. Democratic rule ha recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which we don't produce, reciprocal agreements of mu tual Interest which gain open mnrketa for us In return for our open market to other. Protection build up domestic Industry and trade and secure our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and find an outlet for our aurplus. Protection to Snar Producers, We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with th sugar producer of thl country. Th Republican party favor uch protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar th American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than 1100,000,000 annually. Wool anil Woolens. To all our products to those of th mine and the field, as well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, a well a to the finished woolen of the mill we promise the molt ample protection.

All our silver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measure designed In maintain Inviola ble the obligation of the Vnlted States, and all our money, w hether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened na tions of Ihe earth." Pensions for Veterans. The veteran of the 1'nlon armlv de erve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference In the matter of employ, nient, and they are entitled to the en actment of such law a beat calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of the pledge mad to them in the dark days of the country's peril. We denounce the practice) of the pension bureau o recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping name from the roll, a deserving the eever-et condemnation of the American People. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should Ih- at all time firm, vigorous and dignified, and all our Interest In the wrslerp hemis phere carefully watched and guarded, The Hawaiian Island should be con trolled by the I'nlted Htate and no for eign Hiwer should be perintletd to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and op erated by lh.rnlted Htate. and by the purchase of the Danish Island we should secure a proper and much-need-ed naval station In the Wrst Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American people, and we believe that the I'nlted Slate hould exercise all the Influence It ran properly exert to bring thee atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American resi dents have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property de stroy!. There and everywhere Amer ican eltlsen and American property must be absolutely protected at all haxards and at any cost. Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In It full extent and reaffirm the right of the 1'nulted State to give tho doctrine effect by responding to the appeal of any American slate for friendly inter vention In case of Kuroeuu encroach, ment. We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power In this hemisphere, but those possession must not, on any pretext, be extended, We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the Kurnpean powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union nf all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of It Inhabitants. Inilt'icnilcnce of Cuba. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the I'nlted State hav regarded with sympathy the struggle of other American people to free themselves from European dom ination. We walch with deep und abid ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriot agnlnst cruelty and op pression, and our best hope go out for the full ucces of their determined con teat for liberty. The government of Spain, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or live of resi dent American citizen or to comply with It treaty obllgatlones, we believe that th government of th United State should actively use It Influence and good office to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security of the repub lic and the maintenance of It rightful Influence among the nations of the earth demand a naval power commen surate with It position and responsi bility. We therefor favor the contin ued enlargement of the navy and a complete system of harbor tnl e. coast defense. Immigration Laws. For the protection of the equality nf our American eltlaenshlp ami of the wage of our workliigmeit against lb fatal competition of low priced labor, we demand that the Immigration law be thoroughly enforced, and so extend' ed as to exclude from entrance to III I'nlted Htate those who can neither read nor write. Civil Service. The Civil Hervlc law wa placed on the statute book by the Republican party, which ha always sustained It, and we renew our repealed declara tion that It shall ho thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Ha Hot. We demand that every eltlsen of Ih fulled Plate (hall be allowed lo cast on free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned a cast. l.jncliir? fonuVmne We proclaim our unqualified roiidm. nation of the uncivilised and barbarou practice, well known a lynching or kilting of humor.

All Ih federal officer appointed for the terri tories shall be selected from lion fid residents thereof, and the right of self government shall be acorded a far a practicable. Alaska Representation. We believe Ihe cltlxens of Alaska should have representation In the con gre nf the I'lillcd Htutes.to the end that needful legislation may be inteiu. gently enacted. Sumptuary legislation. We sympathise with all wise and le gitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of temperance and promote morality. Rights of Women.

W favor the admission of women to wider Rphere of usefulness, and wolcom their co-operation In rescuing the coun try from Democratic and Populist mis management and misrule. Such are th principle and policies of ihe Republi can purty. P.y these principle we will abide and these principles we will put Into execution. We ask for thorn the considerate Judgment of th,. American people. Confident alike In the history of our great party and In the Justice of our cause, we present our platform and our consideration, In the full nssurance that the election will bring victory to the Republican parly and prosperity to the people of tho United Htate. notTck opTntkntion To Change the flrade on Klnvenlh Btrect Iletween Konslngton Avenue and ' Harrison Avenue, McCluro' Astoria.
