"Whut was the main object of LI Hung Chang's visit to the I'nltvd States? He Is the chief executive ufTl- cit of the (iiliiine empire. He Is now engaged In building railroads and tear ing down the various trade barriers be tween the cantons of his nation. It Is his Intention to adopt our lib'as and methods of commerce and establish trade relations with us. The Pacific count will In a few years oe the bulls' eye of the fluted States, and you must not tie surprised If you se. the wheat from Minnesota moved to the Pacific coast Instead of to Chicago. Look at the present condition of the wheat mar kets of the world. The Puiillc coast Is today unable to supply the demands made by India uml Australia for bread stuffs to supply the di lUiency cuusi'il by the short crops In those countries. Th (nice of w heat has gone up all over the world. This Is the natural source of supply for those countries and even wore there not a shortage, the rice-cat Ing nutloiiH are rapidly being educated to the use of American w heat and flour, Within the pusl few days you have witnessed the sight at Astoria of the departure (or the Orient of two extra steamers loaded to the gunwales with wheat and flour. One, the Chlttagong, was run In the O. R. and N. line, and the other, the Unpen. In the Canadian Pacific line. Hoth had lo leave cargoes behind which they were unable to han dle. One Arm In Portland alone Is now doing a business of 120,000 per day In wheat, flour and feed to Australia, In dla, Siberia, China and Japan. Other firms are largely engaged In the same traffic, the business la rapidly growing, and It Is settled beyond a peradventure of doubt, that more steamers will be put on the lines now In operation, and other steamer lines to the Columbia will be organised. Another thing which has been brought to my attention lately, and which of necessity encourages the bus' Iness men and railroads of the North' west, Is the fact that the whole ship ping business of this coast Is moving north from San Francisco. Nothing Is going south of that port. Merchants and dealers on both sides of- the Pacilic prefer to deal with the men of the North, who possess nerve and brains requisite to the handling of large af fairs Look at the whole shipping busi ness of the world. Where Is your civ ilisation? It Is In the northern coun tries, where the men have that activity and hard working qualities which ena ble them to successfully compete with the world. It Is not In the enervating and heated countries of the south that you find the largest concert and greatest traffic activity. "In all these rapid changes and ad vancement In business, Is It not easy for a blind man to see the position that will be occupied In the near future by Astoria and your new railroad?

TROUBLE FOR BRYAN ELECTORS. Portland, Or., October 3. Zera Snow, as counsel for the gold standard Demo crats, has filed a protest with Secretary of State Klncaid against placing the fusion candidates for electors on the ticket as Democrats. The protest Is based on the claim that Chairman Starr had no authority to fill the nominations. and that there were only three vacan cies to fill as Oglesby, who had accepted the nomination of the Democratic state convention, had not declined when the (nominations were filled. The gold I standard Democrats seek to have their nominees classed as the regular Demo unt mlors of the continental navy, the 'lighting quality" of each individual ' being his best recommendation for ap-; polntment.
