All communications Intended for publl cation should be directed to the editor. Business communications of all kinds and remittances must be addressed to The Astorlan. The Astorlan guarantees to Its sub scriber the largest circulation of any Mwspaper published on th Columbia Iver. Advertlsins rates can be had on appli cation to the business manager.

Handler A Co., re our Port land aceuta, and copies of The Astorlan can be had every morning at their stand, W Third street. One of the most signllicant signs of the decadence of the free stiver furor Is the fact thut the Omaha World-Herald, a paper of which Mr. ltryau was editor at the time of his nomination and which went into ivstacies of de light thereat vailing him the greatest patriot in the country, and predicting hla election by the largest majority ever given lor a presidential candidate, has suddenly abandoned its contention for free coinage at a ratio of lb to I, and now iws in. as an easy way of letting itself down from a failing cause for the coinage ratio of 25 to 1. This la the "very I'aper, it will be recalled, that first invented and put in circula tion the now discredited forgery of an extract from the London Financial New, still to be found as a standing article in certain notorious and dishon est paper in Oregon. I'p to a few days ago there was no paper In the country" which could outdo the World Herald in the vehemence of its denun ciations of those w ho opposed f ree coin age at 16 to I, w hich it repeatedly de clared was the only honest and legal ratio and to maintain which the down trodden poor would be Justirted in re sorting to the force of bloody revolu tion. Now the World-Herald says: "No Deoule except the greedy owners of silver mines, anxious to make inordi nate profit, are interested in coinage at the rate of 1 to IS." This startling admission from Mr. Hryan's own one time, special organ shows that public sentiment in the boy candidate's own state condemns his candidacy and cam paign as being In the exclusive interest of "greedy silver miners." That Astoria has commenced to ruake improvements and that it is reaching out toward the goal of Its ambition, no one can doubt. The interview in today's issue with Mr. J. F. Halloran only adds other evidence to that al ready at hand of the marked grow th of this city In recent years. Every property owner and business man in Astoria knows that now is the time to lay the foundation work for a rapid Increase In the business facilities of the city, and the development of the latent resources of this part of Ore gon. What if times are hard? A na tional election approaching, and the money question uncertain? We must live; the city must go forward, and business must be done. We know that an Immense amount of money Is being spent now in the building of the rail road, and we know that unity of ac tion will induce the establishment here of those auxiliary enterprises absolute ly necessary to make a great shipping port at the mouth of the Columbia. Why hesitate longer? Now is the time to let the world know what we Intend to do. Now is the time to take a bold stand for our best Interests. Now is the time to start, amongst ourselves, those industries which will make pay rolls in the city. If we can't put money or property into the proposition, we can talk. We can talk at home; we can talk abroad; we can write letters. Talk, talk, talk, on the right lines; and with the upholding of the hands of those who are ready and willing to put their capital and brains Into the Astoria proposition will in a few months come a revolution In affairs here. We cannot expect, like Aladdin with his lamp, to produce in a minute a paradise; but union and harmony of interests, and an exhibition of Chi cago grit and push will soon so liven the old town that even its fathers will not recognize it. Work work all to gether; work day and night, and leave the results to care for themselves. THE D K M ') N K T 1 '. A T I I N HACCO. OF T- In colonial days tobacco was exten cively us-d as money in Virginia. Hetits and royaltien were payable in si"- ll'ed (piantlti'-s of tipai.ci the piantllies being d'-signali'd. not by so many dol lars' Worth, but by si many pounds. Thus toba-r.j uiijj practically a moneta ry standard of value. It w im us- 'l as a medium of r-x'iiunge in the puniiase and sale of the various emnmoiiitie that were essentinl to the life and com fort of our re-sported aicn-stois. Alluding to this suit" of affairs, the United States Toba.-eo Journal Faye: "Kverythlng from a wife to a gallon of rum could In- Ixnight with the !-li-rlous and fragrant wi-wl. Tobacco was even superior to gold, for it took three gold dollars to buy one pound of w.-ed, and the foreign gold nations wore grumbling at us mmh in tho name high-strung fashion on account of the tobacco ctandard as tin- silvril'-s are just now grumbling at the foreign na tions for tln ir gold standard." Then follows this plea for the restoration of tobacco to Its former and rightful place in the currency system of the country: "If tobacco were made the money standard it would prove of much bone- $ "A Scorcher." ' X w 1 obacco Uealers g "BATTLE AX" is a "scorcher" X because it sells so fast. Tobacco J Chewers say, it is v cause J 0 cents' worth goes so far. It's as good can be j5 cost. For 10 cents you get almost twice as much as you do of other 7K aTv f rtt to a verv hard working class or our fariners: it would revive most depressed industrl I revive . ne of our and rimilly, it would restore tn .Id-time money to tho place It held before It was demon etized 2o0 years ago by some httb. rto unsuspected crime long before either cold or silver whs eoin-l in this coun try. Silver is but a new-famsb-d fal. Ueturn to the money standard of old Virginia." The argument for the remom-tliation of tobacco should appeal with convinc ing force to those who contend that the government ought to decree the un limited coinage of silver at double Its market value. The "Hoy Orator ' should give his earnest attention to this sub ject. A TIDAL WAVE oF MANHOOD. Every" day records the development of political manhood In this country to an I extent unexampled in the nistory or our government. In all past party con flicts there has been something ap proaching unity in all organize! po litical parties, but in the battle of PS the democratic party is disintegrated from center to cln unifei an. and lead ers and followers are jostlng each other in their efforts to declare that patriot ism is paramount to party. In this general revolution the demo crats of the country are simply follow ing the plain teachings and example of Mr. liryan. the democratic-populist nominee for president. m the l ith of February, lv. Mr. liryan addressed a letter to (leorge M. Carden, of 'alias. Texas, in which he declared distinctly that he was simply repeating bis dec larations made three years before, that if the democratic party endorsed the sound financial policy of the pr.-s.-nt administration, which is simply the pol icy of the U.-public since it was found ed, he would not follow the party or support its candidates. We place no strained construction upon Mr. Bryan s deliverance of his views as to manhood in Ann-iiian pol itics. In the letter referred to, he said: "No convention can rob me of my con victions, n..r can any party organiza tion drive me to conspire acainst the prosperity and liberty of my count! y. Men who honestly differ upon the par amount public iU-stions ranimt afford to be harmonized ,y a national conven tion." Su.-h are Mr. liryan's views of manh.)d in American politics. Mr. I'.ryan is not only to be commend ed for the courage h- exhibited when he probably did not dream that an ac cidental occasion might make- him a candidate- for president, but bis advice and proclaimed example are veil wor thy of imitation by i-M-ry 'int.-llig'-nt and patriotic voter of the land. He stat.il what is distinct ly int.-, and w hat should be aco-pted as ih- truth by ev ery good citizen, that "men who hon estly differ upon th- parari.ount pub lic .uostiotis cannot atf-T'l to be har monized by a national convention." Mr. liryan has no claim whatever upon tie- democratic patty as an or ganization for .support, excepting so far as its individual ni'-inhers agree with his radical and revolutionary views, lie has publicly pro. laimcd that no convention could rob linn of bis con victions, and that paramount public .pj.-sti-.ns cannot I..- harmoni..-l by the higlo-st councils of party organization. He thus aliS'ilv.'d himself from all party obligations, and lias thus ab solved every democrat of ibe land who is riot in accord uiMi his vi'-ws from any obligation to supi-ori iitn as a party ' an.

The dvspeptic cam. a dreadful I 'U.I on his back. It seems as If he ' eie really made up of two men. one "f them ambitious, brainy and energetic; the other sick, listless, peevish and without force. The weak man weighs the other one down. The dyspeptic may be able to do pretty g.l work one day. and the next day, b.s ause of some little indiscretion in eating, he may ! c able to do nothing at all. Most cases of dyspepsia start with constipation. Con stipation is the cause of nine'-t. nths of nil human sickness. Some of Its symp toms are sick and bilious headache, di-zim-ss, sour stomach, loss of appetite. foul breath, windy b.-lchlngs. heart burn, pain and distress after eating All these are Indicative of derange ..f the liver, stomach and bowels, and nil are caused by constipation.

F.very consideration of public safely and Individual Interest h'limuds that the government shall be r.M'iii'd from the hands of those who have shown themselves luciipsble of conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with utleipiale.l sun. tut and prosperity. A Prt'ltTtht' Turill. We i. tiew ami emphasize our allegl unco to the policy of protection us the bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence nnd the foundation of Amer ican development nnd prosperity. This true American -mllcy taxes foreign pro ducts and en. -outages home Industry, It puts the burden of revenue on for eign goods. II cures the American market for the American prolucer; It upholds the American standard of wages for the American worklngi-ian; It puts the factory by the side of !h farm, nnd makes the American farmer I. ss dependent on foreign demand and price; II diffuses general thrift Slid founds the strength of ull on the strength of cucli. In Its reasonable up plication It Is Just, fair, and Impartial equally opi-osed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We d.-nounce the present Ivmocrutle t.irilt as sectional. Injurious to the pub lic credit nnd destructive tn business enterprise. We demand such equitable tariff on Corel. ,m Imports which com Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect Amer ican labor from degredatloii to the wage level of other lands. Wo are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates Is a practical lUostlnn. to he governed by the Condi Hons of the time and production; th. ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The iiintry demands a right settlement and tin n It wants rest. ii.eiiriH'ity With Oilier Nalimis. We believe the repeal of the reel pr.Hity arrangements negotiated by the last I,' publican administration was a national calamity, and we demand their renewal nnd extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with ther nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of Amer ican products In the ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our furms, forests and factories. I'rob'ctlon and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand In hand. Hcmoeratlc rule bun recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission Cor the necessaries of life which wo don't produce, reciprocal agreements of mu tual Interest which gain open markets for us In return for our open mnrltet to Ih.-rH.
