much surprised at the progress of the
work In and about Astoria, and that
It was a source of pleaaure to him
to nee ao much activity dlaplayed at

necessities required to carry out those
prospects In Astoria. Mr. Walter C.

ci concurred In it, that It was not
alone necessary to have a railroad to
make a (treat comm-rclnl center, but
that by fur the mutters of greatest
Importance were the establishment of
manufacturing Industrie and payrolls
which would attract population. As
an argument In favor of hla position
he cited the Instance of West Point, a
little town at the mouth of Chesa.

Baltimore and Ohio railroad system.
This town has carcely 2noo people,
yet over Its wharves every month Is
handled a tremendous tonnage of
freight which the world scarcely hears
about. At West Point all of the ocean
bound traffic of the II. and O. Is ex
changed with the great Atlantic liners.
Hut all this business has not Increased
the population of the town. "What
Astoria wants la factories and pay

your railroad and great salmon Indus
try cannot fall to make a great city.

always will be, and nothing can stop
the progress of the commerce at the
mouth of the Columbia."

the amount of work already done on
the railroad, and In the city and at
Warrenton and Flavel. Mr. lllrsch
said: "You have a grand harbor here
and the Columbia river was not placed
In this country for nothing. There Is
room for all, Portland, Astoria. Fla

which must be developed on common

Compare the Early Sosey of Sebraska With
That of the rreseit It Is the De
nasd for Thisijs Which
Gives Then Valie.
Nebraska City, Neb., August 1. The
Hon. J. Sterling Morton, secretary of
Agriculture, delivered an address to-
nignt in me presence or a large audi.
ence. He drew comparisons between
the money of the country when he
came to Nebraska In the pioneer day
and now. He said that then It w as
komethoiiig substantial, such a cattle,
horse and hog, and not until the
present was there an effort to create
value from something which had no
value except a a commodity. After
explaining the origin of money, Mor
ton aald:
"The sole origin, source, and cause
of value I human desire; when there
I a demand for things they have
value; when the supply remain st
tlonary the demand Increases and
value Increase; when demand ceaaes
altogether value Is altogether gone.
'Thl chows clearly that the cur
rency of the people must be readily
exchangeable for those things which
he people desire and demand. Cur
rency Itself must be desirable and
must be demanded by those who have
hlng to ell. The farmer who tell
cattle, swine and cereal for money
find that his cuatomer demands the
highest possible quality In each of
hese thing. The buyer of farmer'
iroducts Is the seller of money. The
seller of those same products Is
buyer of money. The purchaser de.
mands the highest known qualities In
he things that he buy from the far
mer and enlightened self-interest must
comRd the farmer to demand the
highest and most non-fluctuating gen
eral purchasing power In the money
w hich he buys. The commercial ratio
of gold and silver today Is about 32
to 1: that Is, 32 ounce of silver will
buy one ounce of gold bullion. The
reason for declaring In favor of the
mint value for silver, which Is twice
It bullion value, la Inexplicable upon
the part of those who have no silver
bullion to coin.
