J... ii Astoria, aid Has Sonethiig to Sit oi tie rolitical Sitiatioi. Testerday morning Mr. George Fran cis Train Jr. stepped off the Columbia from San Francisco, and spent the day In the city. Unlike 'his celebrated father. Mr. Train Is not a globe trotter, or lecturer. He Is In business in San Francisco, and stopped In Astoria on a purely business matter. He left last night for Portland, and from there will go to Montana, returning home by rail via Utah. When seen by an Asto rlan representative yesterday after noon Mr. Train was asked about the political situation in California, and what he considered to be the chances of the various presidential candidates In his state. In reply he said: "In 1SS5 only jn.000.000 of silver were produced In this country. For the same period the production of Iron In the United States was UC5.000.000; coal $2$", 000.000; and the Kansas corn crop alone brought 161,000,000. This 'shows how smull the product of silver is when you come to compare It with oth er products. Where one man Is en gaged In producing silver there are ten thousand at work in other lines. Already in San Francisco the Wells- Fargo and 1 First National Banks have refused to take silver. "The impression throughout Califor nia is that our state will go for Mc Klnley. I think there is no doubt about this at all, and am satisfied that the eyes of the people are being opened to the fallacy of the Bllver project. My partner, who has Just returned from the East, says that he could not find a single Democrat in New York. All were strong for McKlnley. The bet ting In New Tork Is two and one-half to one In favor of McKlnley. Mr. Hen ry Clews, the celebrated Wall street financier, had lots of money to put up on that lay-out. but could find no tak ers. I think the principal cause of the difficulties experienced during the past few years, can be laid to over-production and wild speculation by people who have bitten off more than they can chew. The bankers cannot be held re sponsible for the present situation any more than can the Kansas farmer for the failure of the corn crop. Tou have got to go to the banker for money to use In business, and he is only going to circulate It on a safe basis. Should the free silver movement prevail, the large manufacturers will simply close down and wait for better times. They can easily withdraw their capital from active use and live comfortably, while the wage earners will have to suffer until there Is a re-adjustment of the back fifty-cent dollars In return for his rroduct "I base my opinions of matters In California upon the common talk In the streets. On every aide rou hear knots of people discussing the situa tion, and from such discussions can be formed a pretty fair Idea. So far as I am able to Judge, the opinion of the majority Is In favor of McKlnley and sound money. I have been on the coast since 1890. and am naturally more or less familiar with affairs In San Francisco and California, and am sat isfied that my Judgment on the situa tion, so far as we are concerned. Is correct. If you have any rampant sil ver agitators In your city. It might be well to advise them to take a ride down through Mexico, as I have done several times, and see the crowds of naked beggars that gather at every railroad station as the train stops. It would be a good object lesson for them. "I know of my own personal knowl edge many men who have been con verted from the silver Idea to the sound money basis, but have yet to hear of the first sound money man being con verted to the silver business." CANADA SHUNS OUR SILVER. A Discount of Ten Per Cent to Be Charged on American Bills. Toronto, Ont., August IS. Canada for some time past has been flooded with American silver, but this produced ino inconvenience, as it was generally accepted at par. But since the nomina tion of Bryan and the adoption of the sliver platform by the Popocratlc party In the United States, an alarm that Is fast amounting to a panic has set in. The Standard Bank of Canada has announced that after August 25 it will charge a discount of 15 per cent on all American bills, and It is expected that this line of policy will be generally adopted by all the Canadian banks, except those which have branch offices In the United States. The street rail way companies in Toronto and Mon treal have Issued Instructions to their men to refuse all American silver. All the large establishments in .the city, except the deparment stores, are re fusing American silver, and a meeting of the managers of the department stores has been called to put them In line with the other establishments on the sliver question. American tourists are experiencing great difficulty with their Bllver money, and yesterday and today a man on the Tonge street wharf, where excur sion boats arrive, was doing an Im mense business In buying American silver at ten per cent discount INTEREST CHARGED ON DEPOSITS Toronto, Ont, August 18. Local banks have been besieged during the last week or so with applications from Americans anxious to deposit their money here. Quite a number of theM deposits have been refused. Several banks, however, have opened accounts with Americans, and are charging from one-quarter to one-eighth per cent on deposits. At present there seems to be a pretty general desire on the part of United States capitalists to Invest their money here, NO MARKET FOR BONDS. Brokers Refuse Securities Unless a Gold Clause Is Inserted. Trenton, August IS. The effect of Bryanlsm was felt by the finance com mittee of the Mercer county board of freeholders today, when an attempt was made to sell 1100,000 of county road bonds. The sale had been duly advertised and the committee waited at the court house for the bidders, but up to the time for the regular meeting of the board no bidders , appeared. Broker had been privately Informed during the week that bonds would be,offered for sale, but when, they learned that the interest was 4 per cent, and that the bonds were payable In "coin of the realm," they flatly declared that they did not care to invest The brokers Informed Individual members of the finance committee that In. the present unsettled condition of affairs they were not Investing unless the "gold clause" was inserted. Finding that they could not sell the 4 per cent bonds, the free holders today rescinded the resolution of the . last meelng authorizing the is sue, and reauthorized a similar bond lssue making the interest 5 per cent and the bonds payable in "gold or its equivalent." The camel Is a beast of great strength and endurance. Nothing hurts It until the proverbial "last straw" Is added to its burden. The human digestive sys tem Is very much like a camel. It is really astonishing how much abuse It will stand. Sometimes, however, some thing worse than usual will be eaten, and will go through the stomach Into the bowels, and there it will stick that's constipation. Nine-tenths of all human sickness is due to constipation. Some of the simplest symptoms are coated tongue and foul breath, dizzi ness, heartburn, flatulence, sallowness, distress after eating, and lassitude. A little thing will cause constipation, and a little thing will relieve It Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a certain cure for constipation.
