VIEWS OF WALTER C. SMITH Stfnmi Eprtii ot as tamest Worker II Haniri'iml In in Make Mcoiry. JUtorUa Will Make .Mure. Mr. Walter (.'. Smith, of Portland, t ho i apiMllat and large Aatorla proji rrty owner, was down from Portland again yeaterday. It la no unusual thing tu see Mr. Hinlih In Aatorla, and as hla Interests nr so largely Identi fied with thla rlly, It I safe to rail him an Astorian. H believes In As toria and Its future, and Is working hard fur Its advancement. Mr. Hinlth wa asked his opinion about the prospects of Astoria fur the balance of this year. He replied that notwithstanding the political tangle and consequent business depression, very much nil((ht be accomplished for Astoria by the combined effort of Its business men. "We should not wait for the silver (juration or any other question to be settled. All mlriJa agree upon the grand merit of our own proposition, which will be Just as certain, whether gold or stiver wins the battle. The situation ran be concisely stated: Cap ital t III nut bite at an empty hook, and our proportion must be made attractive. Thounands of families will locate here when we have something tangible to offer them. From our own standpoint It la safe to say that we ran do nothlnic more In IS!" than ran be accomplished today. There is but one manit-r key to open the doors of prosperity; It la hard work! The seeming sAirlflce of today but multi plies the future benefit." Ill reply to i question concerning Portland's Interest In Astoria. Mr. Smith said: "iuih of Portland's bus iness men aa are well posted about the mouth of the river display a keen Interest In thla city and are friendly to Its development. Portland will put a great deal of money Into Astoria during the next few years, if It be sought In the light spirit. There are many In Portland who do not yet realise that the Axtorla railroad Is be ing built. They should be fully posted and offered every facility for profita ble Investment here. "1 am told that Mr. Hammond pro poses the construction of a great saw mill and dry dock. If Astorlans will participate in the enterprise. I have not spoken with Mr. Hammond about It, but If the report Is correct, we should not hesitate a single day to Join In a movement of such tremen dous advantage to the city. As an' Investment It should pay big dlvldonts and as an Impetus and entering wedge of permanent prosperity. Its benefit will be incalculable." "I have heard it said that Mr. Ham rn uid would make a great deal of money for himself from these Improve ments. Well, I should certainly hope he would; he deserves all he can ever make and a great deal more. Put what haa that tu do with our own profits and benefits, which must great ly exceed his own? If it is a good thing for Hammond, It is surely a better thing for Astoria. Self Inter est prompts that every encouragement be given to the creation of new indus tries, and cordial co-operation with the ablest man that ever came to Astoria. "Some are short of rash. I know that I am and I think many are In the same boat. But that Is all the more reason for helping Mr. Ham mond Inaugurate these great attrac tions for rrten and money. Will we have any more cash by delaying? Why wait for next year? The time to strike is Just now, during the con struction of a better railroad than we ever hoped for. It Is not a question of convenience; If we want success wc must get In and dig. If property owners are short of money, they have security and the money can be raised somehow. We must show the ncrw, the spirit and the energy which alone can place Astoria in the front and justify the construction of our road. Wheh .the first train comes through Tongue Point there must be something here that Is worthy of the railroad, the city and the people. I believe the Abtorians will see this as I do, and all pull together to make the most of this splendid opportunity." AMERICANS IN JAPAN. The Engineering and Mining Journal says: "We gather from a report made by the British consular service on the railways of Japan that there Is a like lihood of the American manufacturers of railway material ousting, partially, at least, their English competitors at no distant day. At first the English had a monopoly both In construction and management, but the Japanese have gradually learned the art of building and managalng railrods, and at the present time there are hardly any foreigners In" .the service. In a short time there will not be a single foreign d algner, and the Japanese will pliue all their orders for material without consulting foreign advisers. Of course, while Englishmen were at the hvtd of nlTiiIrs the orders went to Kngland, but In future, contracts and orders will be given to those who can most promptly and cheaply supply the material required. "In Ureal Britain, when a piece of engineering work such as bridge con struction Is taken In hand, the engin eer order the material to be made to his own dosUn. In America, on the othnr hand, the engineers of the com pany first stute their requirement, and the manufacturers send in com petitive projects based on their own dealgns. It ballpens that the English engineer who has been the designer of railway bridges in Jupan since w: has Just given up his post, and the work will b In the hands of Japanese In future. A good many of the Japanese engineers have been educated In the I'nlted Mates, and they will not be slow in taking advantage of the Amer ican system, aa it will save them a ileal of trouble. At the present time all the leading American manufactur ers of construction! Iron work are represented personally In Japan, while their English rivals have no represen tation on the spot. "The above mentioned report gives full Information about the railroad business In Japan and the require ments of the country, and It should be In the hands of every American who wishes to Increase his export trade." BHI8TOIS TRAINED HOUSES. At Fisher's Opera House last even ing, Professor Bristol's educated horses gave one of the best entertain ments ever seen In Astoria. The op. era house was filled by an apprecia tive audience. Beyond doubt the stnr of the troupe Is Denver, the trick mule, whose per formances alone are worth the price of admission. Alfonso and Sultan were among the be.t performers, the latter astonishing the audience by his won derful feats In arithmetic. Dynamite's ro walk and the military drill were other attractive futures. The entire program was carried out to the letter and no doubt the matinee for the lit tle folks this afternoon will have a (nil house. There are fifteen horses, live hetlands and two mules In the troupe. The performance this afternoon will take place at !:S and the evening per formance at 7:30 as usual. Each entertainment is ojiened with a short lecture by the professor, on his methods of training, which is most Interesting and instructive. NEW WHEAT. Estimates Show that the Crop Is Not so Short.

MONEY AND CAPITAL MATTER Gold salt Silver Casaot Be .limes' txeept Jkccordisn to Their Harket Yalse Mosey the Trasvferrer vt Cspital. Alfred. Me., July V). This quaint county seat was the scene today of the opening of the Republican national campaign of 'W. The people front all the country round came to listen to a siecch by the Hon. Thos. B. Reed, on the occasion of his renominatlon for representative In congress by the first district In the Republican convention. In his speech Reed took the ground that the free coinage of silver by the United States would not raise It to a par with gold at the ratio of 1 to 1. He said that aa soon as the election was over, and the future position of the United Btates was assured, cap ital would come from abroad and we would again be prosperous. Mr. Reed said: "If I were going to give advice to the people of the whole United States I should not take this time to do It Just now there Is a great deal of froth and foam In the air, and some time is really needful to disclose clearly to .every eye how much of It is the result of a temporary breese which stills at nightfall, and how little there is of that heavy ground swell which shows that great elementary forces are at work. Two months ago no man of any standing would have risked his repu tation aa a prophet by hinting the slightest doubt of Republican success. Four years of actual trial of opposi tion under the guidance of its best and twice trusted leader, has left no shad ow of question as to the public duty. 'Two months have slipped away, hardly time enough to ripen a straw berry, much less a system of finance. and there are those who tell us that all things have changed, and that those very men, who were being ar rayed for decent burial, had burst the cerements of the grave and bad been transfigured by some new ar rangements of crowns of thorns and crosses .of gold, were to lead us to new happiness and even repair all the damage they themselves had wrought Now this may be so, but to me it does not seem probable. The talk dies In the empty air. Better a pound of per formance than a shipload of lan guage. "Let us see what is proposed by those gentlemen who within the last two months have discovered a new cure for all Ills the flesh Is heir to, and who proclaim, as they did four years ago, that they hold prosperity In their grasp. Their remedy Is the free coinage of silver, 16 to 1. What 'does that mean? Heretofore when ever gold and silver have stood to gether It has been at the market value. When we have tried to make gold and silver circulate together we have al ways married them according to their market value. Today we find them not 16 to 1, but 32 to 1 and they are going, they say, to lift silver to twice Its value, not by the universal sense of mankind which alone makes value, but by the staututes of the United States single handed, against the civ lliied world. Why should the United States try to do this alone? What we want Is not more money, but more capital money always comes with capital. .We have money now, more than we can use, lying Idle. We have exported a large amount of it Money is the transferer of capital as the hay rack and horses Is the transferer of hay. More racks will never make more hay, but more hay will require more hayracks, and Is sure to get them. "Our capital Is great, but the United States is very much greater. There are millions of square nillea and seventy-five million people, and undevel oped riches without stint. But there is not much capital, not near enough to keep 75,000,000 people at work. When are we the most prosperous? It is when the 75,000,000 people are all at work, and when that happens we bor row of the rest of the world thousands of millions of dollars. "Now, Just as soon as this election Is over and the future position of the United States Is assured, both aa to money and as to the temperament of our people, capital is ready to come to us from abroad and from our own people, and we shall again be pros perous."
