Astoria, Or., October IS, 1SB.
The Aatortan haa frequently warned
Its readers that, like the bridegroom In
the parable, the long-expected railroad
would one day reach Astoria and find
Its citlsens not ready. How that predic
tion haa already been partially verified
b pointed out by a correspondent In
another column. We have a railroad
. with, a dally train sen-ice. but passen
gers and freight have to be unceremo
niously dumped on the rUrht of way,
without any shelter from fhe driving
rainstorms of a winter season, because
no way haa been provided to reach
the compaays' splendid new depot from
any of the city's streets except by
steamer. It Is pretty hard to find an
excuse for this condition of things. Our
citizens may be able to satisfy Inquiring
strangers that It Is perfectly natural
and proper to depend upon Hammond
to build our future mills and elevators,
but It would sound rather odd If they
were told we were waiting for him to
Improve our streets also. The Astoriaa
heartily agrees with Its correspondent
that It is high time something were
done in Astoria, and that somebody
aught to do It; but whether the plan
suggested by him to revive the commit
tee of twenty-one is the rijrht way to
go about this particular matter or not.
Is A question which we commend to the
earnest and early consideration of our
worthy and efficient city council.
The president has undoubtedly got
the right Idea with regard to Cuba, and
so far as his message relates to that
subject It Is an admirable paper, but
M no other respect is It up to his usual
standard as a state document In his
aeiense or tne vt lisun tarl.l be is es
pecially weak and illogical, since he
now praises those very features of that
law which were added by the senate
amendments, and which were made the
express ground upon which he withheld
afs approval of the act at the time of
Its passage. Although admitting the
government's present deficiency of reve
nue, he strangely omits any suggestion
of legislation for Its Improvement not
even recommending the beer tax, which
ether Democrats are proposing as a
way to provide additional Income wtth-
eut Increasing the tariff. It is not only
ancandid, but seems hardly honest
for the pres ident to talk of a 12S,000,
000 surplus in the treasury, "applica
ble to the payment of the expenses
of the government," when he has with
in the knowledge of every Intelligent
American citizen borrowed during the
term sf his office upwards of $200,000,000
for no other purpose than that of meet
ing the current expenditures of the
government. His talk about the pro
priety of applying the surplus which he
"fortunately" found In the treasury to
the payment of the government's ex
penses not met by current revenues,
and the distinction he tries to make be
tween a government necessarily using
!s emergency reserve funds to pay Its
ordinary expenses, and an individual
who spends his capital because he
elects to live beyond his Income, Is so
far fetched as to be absolutely silly,
and we thlr.k it unworthy the standard
of dignity with which Mr. Cleveland
has always been accredited, even by his
bitterest enemies. It was not so long
ago when Mr. Cleveland found fault
with this very surplus and pronounced
It one of the greatest of evils. If he
now thinks It a fortunate thing to have
In the treasury, he ought to thank and
praise the Republican policies which
are responsible for Its accumulation.

and returned to the countries whence
they came, at the expense of the steam
ship companies by which they were
brought in. The increase in Immigration
over the preceding year amounted to
84,131. It is reported that with some
exceptions, the Immigrants of the past
year were of a hardy, laboring class,
able to earn a support for themselves,
and It Is estimated that the money
brought with them amounted to at
least $5,000,000. though It was probably
much In excess of that sum, since only
those having less than $30 are required
to disclose the exact amount and It Is
known that many brought considerable
sums of money to buy land and build
homes. Including all the Immigrants
arriving who were over 14 years of age.
28.63 per cent were illiterate as against
20.37 per cent of those of that age ar
riving during the prceding fiscal year.
The number of immigrants over 14
years old, the countries from which
they come and the percentage of Illiter
ates among them were as follow s: Italy
515, with 54.59 per cent: Ireland, 37.4!.
with 7 per cent; Russia, 35,188, with 4L14
per cent; Austria-Hungary and pro
vinces, 57,053, with 38.92 per cent; Ger
many, 25,334, with 2.96 per cent; Sweden,
18,821, with 1.16 per cent, while from
Portugal there came 2,067, of which
7.69 per cent were Illiterate. There ar
rived from Japan during the year only
1,110 immigrants and it Is the opinion
of the Immigration authorities that the
apprehension heretofore existing to j
some extent, of a large Immigration i
from Japan to the United States Is
without foundation.
THE TARIFF.
I desire to refer to the statements
elsewhere made concerning the govern
ment receipts and expenditures for the
purpose of venturing upon some sug
gestions touching our present tariff law
and its operation. This statute took ef
fect on the 28th day of August, 1894.
Whatever may W Its shortcomings as
a complete measure of tarlT reform,
It must be conceded that It has opened
the way to a freer and greater ex
change of commodities between the
United States and other countries, and
thus furnishing a wider market for our
products and manufacturing. The only
entire fiscal year during which this law
has been In force ended on the 3'"th di.y
of June, 1896. In that year our Imports
Increased over those of the previous

with the addtlonal purpose of so In
I creasing their price In our markets ns to
I give American manufacturers and pro
j ducers better and more profit.tMe cp
port unities, must agree that our tariff
laws aiv only primarily justified as
sources of revenue to enable the gov
ernment to meet the necessary expenses
of Its uinlntenunce. Considered as to
Its sufficiency In this aspect, the pres
ent law can by no means fall under Just
condemnation. During the only com-
l))t flS(,Hl V(m. of , ,,,.rnllon It has
y,.I(Ii ,riy $s.flisi.tfoo more revenue
,Jhtt Wlls revived from tariff duties In
,. nP.A.o,i,- ..far There wns never-
theless a deficit between our receipts
and expenditures of a little more than
j;.i,tXH,0i. The situation was such In
IVevmbor, seven months before the
close of the fiscal year, that the secre
tary of the treasury foretold a deficien
cy of $17,000,000. The great and Increas
ing apprehension and timidity In busi
ness circles and the depression In all
activities Intervening since that time
resulting from causes perfectly well un
dcrstood and entirely disconnected with
our tariff law or Its operation, seriously
checked the Imports we would have
otherwise received, and readily account
for the difference between this estimate
of the secretary and the actual defi
ciency, as well aa fcr the continued de
ficit. Indeed, It must be confessed that we
could hardly have had a more unfavor
able period than the last two years
for the collection of a tariff revenue.
We cannot reasonably hope that our
recuperation from this business de-
j preaslon will be sudden, but It haa al-
.ready set In with a promise of accel
eratlon and continuance. I believe our
Present tariff law. If allowed a fair op-
1 Portunlty. will In the near future yield
a revenue which. Ith reasonable econ-
j omleal expenditures, will nervcim all
deficiencies! In the meantime, no deficit
that haa occurred or may occur need
evcite or disturb us. To meet any such
deficiency, we have in the treasury.

the government to the payment of Its

An individual living beyond his in

debt or drawing upon his accumulated

or Improvident. The distinction as be
tween a government charged with the
duty of expending for the benefit of
the people and or proper purposes all
the money It receives from all sources,
and the Individual who Is expected to
manifest a natural desire to avoid debt
or to accumulate as much as possible
and to live within the income derived
from such accumulations to the end
that they may be Increased or at least
remain unimpaired for the future use
and enjoyment of himself and objects
of his love and affection who may sur
vive him Is an obvious one.
It Is Immeasureably better to appro
priate our surplus to the payment of
Justifiable expenses than to allow it to
become an Invitation to reckless appro
priations and extravagant expenditures.
I suppose it will not be denied that
under the present law our people ob
tain the necessaries of a comfortable
existence at a cheaper rate than for
merly. This a matter of supreme Im
portance, since It Is the palpable duty
of every Jufct government to make the
burdens of taxation as light as possi
ble. The people should not be required
to relinquish this privilege of cheap liv
ing except under the stress of their gov
ernments necessarily made and plainly
manifest.
OUR FINANCES.
This reference to the condition and
prospects of our revenues naturally
suggests an allusion to fhe weakness
and vices of our financial methods.
They have been frequently pressed up
on the attention of congress In previous
executive communications and the Inev
itable danger of their continued tolera
tlon pointed out. Without now repeat
ing these details, I cannot refrain from
again earnestly presenting the necessi
ty of the prompt reform of a system
opposed to every rule of sound finance,
and shown by experience to be fraught
with the gravest peril and perplexity.
The terrible war which shook the
foundations of our government thirty
years ago brought In Its train the de
struction of property, the wasting of
our country's substance and the es
trangement of brethren. These are now
past and forgotten. Even the dlstress-

ltg loss of life the conflict entailed Is
but a sncred memory which fosters pa
triotic sentiment and keeps alive a ten

And yet there remains with us today
In hill strength as an Incident of that
tremendous struggle, a feature of Its
financial necessities, not only unsullrd
to our present circumstances, but man
ifestly a disturbing menace to business
security and an ever present agent of
monetary distress, lleeause ve may be
enjoying a temporary relief from its de
pressing Influence should not lull us
Into a false security nor lead us to fer
ret the suddenness of past visitations.
I am more convinced than ever that we
an have no assured financial peace and
safety until the government currency
obligations upon which gold may be
demanded from the treasury are with
drawn from circulation and cancelled.
This might be done, as has been here
tofore recommended, by their exchange
for long time bonds bearing a low rule
of Interest or by their redemption with
the proceed of such bonds. Even If
only the United StiUes notes known ns
greenbacks were thus retired t Is prol
able that the treasury note Issue,! In
payment of stiver purchases under the
act of July 14. 1'. now paid In gold
when demanded, wovdd not create such
disturbance as they might from time
to time when received In the treasury
by red i' nip tlon In gold or otherwise, and
might be gradually and prudently re
placed by the sliver coin. This plan of
Issuing bonds for the purpose of re
demption certainly appeurs to be the
most effective and direct path to the
needed reform. In default of this, how
ever. It would be a step In the right
direction If currency obligations re
deemable In gold, when ever so redeem
ed should be cancelled Instead of bring
reissued. This operation would he a
slow remedy, but It would Improve
present conditions. National banks
should redeem their own note. They
should be allowed to Issue circulation
to the par value of bonds deposited as
security for Its redemption and the tax
on their circulation should be reduced
to one fourth of one per cent.
In considering projects for the retire
ment of United States notes and treas
ury notes Issued under the law of IK'.)
I am of the opinion that we have plac
ed too much stress upon the danger of
contracting the currency, and have cal
culated too little UHn the gold thut
would be added to our circulation If
Invited to us by better and safer finan
cial methods. It Is not so much a
contraction of our currency that should
be avoided as such unequal distribu
tion. This might be obviated and any
fear of harmful contraction at the
same time removed by allowing the
organisation of smaller banks and .In
less populous communities than are
now permitted and authorizing banks
to establish branches In mall commu
nitle under proper restrictions.
The entire case may be presented by
the statement that the day of sensible
and sound financial methods will not
dawn upon us until our government
abandons the banking business and the
accumulation of funds and confines Its
monetary operations to the reception
of the money contributed by the people
for Its support and to the expenditure
of such money for the people's benefit.
Our business Interests and and all good
citizens long for rest from feverish agi
tation and the Inauguration by the
government of a reformed financial
policy which will encourage enterprise
and make certain the rewards of labor
and Industry.
MONOPOLIEH AND TRUSTS.
Another topic In which our people
rightfully take a deep Interest may te
here briefly considered. I refer to the
existence of trusts ami other huge ag
gregations of capital, the object of
which Is to secure the monoioly of some
particular branch of trade, Industry or
commerce, and so stifle wholesale com
peltlon. When these are defended, It Is
usually on the ground that though they
Increase profits, they also reduce prices
and thus, may benefit the public. It
must be remembered, however, that a
reduction of prices to the people Is not
one of the real objects of these organi
zations, nor is their tendency necessa
rily In that direction. If It occurs In a
particular case, It Is only because It ac
cords with the purpose or Interest of
those managing the scheme. Such Irra
tional results fall far short of compen
sating the palpable evils charged to
the account of trusts and monopolies.
Their tendency Is to crush out Individ
ual Independence and hinder or prevent
the free use of human faculties and the
full development of human character.
Through them the farmer, the artisan
and the small trader Is In danger of
dlslodgment from the proud position of
being his own master, watchful of all
that touches his country's prosperity Ih
which he has an Individual lot, and In
terested In all that affects the advan
tages of business of which he Is a fac
tor, to be relegated to the level of a
mere appurtenace to a reat machine,
with little fre will, with no duty but
that of passive obedience, and with lit
tle hope or opportunity of rising in the
scale of responsible and healthful cltl-

senahlp. To the Institu tive belief that
such Is the inevitable trend of trust
and monopolies Is dun the wlde-sprvad
and deep-seated popular sverilun In
which they are held, and the not unrea
sonable Insistence thut whatever may
tie their Incidental economic advantages
their general effort upon personal char
acter, prniH'ta and usefulness cannot
be otherwise than Injurious. Though
rongrena has attempted to deal with
this matter by legislation, the laws
pasxed for that purpose thus far have
proved Ineffective, not because of any
lack f disposition or attempt to en
force them, but simply because the law
themselves as Interpreted by the courts,
do not reach the difficulty. If the In
sutllclency of existing laws ran h rem
edied hy further legislation, It should
l done. It should lie reontnlsiil. how
ever, that all benetlclul legislation on
this subject may full short of Ita pur
kwh because of Inherent obstacles and
also because of the complex character
of our governmental system, which,
while making the federal authority su
preme within Its sphere, has carefully
limited that sphere by bound which
cannot lie trunsgresscd. The decision
of our highest court on the precis
'liKsil'in renders It null doubtful
whether the evils of trust and monop
olies ran le adequately treated through
federal action, unless they seek directly
and purposely to Include In their ot.
Jecl transortatlor or Intercourse be
tween states or between the I'nlted
State and foreign countries. It does
not follow, however, that this Is the
limit of the remedy that may b ap
plied. Kven though It may be found
that the federal authorities ar not
broad enough to fully reach the rase,
there can be no doubt of the power of
the several states to act effectively In
the premises and there should be no
reason to doubt their willingness to Ju
diciously exercise such power.
In concluding; this communication.
Its last words shall be an appeal to the
congress for tho .moat rigid economy
In the expenditure of the money It
holds In trust for tho people. The way
to perplexing extravagant Ik U easy
but a return to frugality Is difficult.
When, however. It Is considered that
those who can bear the burdens of tax
at Ion have no guaranty of honest rare
sav In the fidelity of their public ser
vants, the duty of all possible retrench
ment Is plainly manifest When our dif
ference are forgotten, and our con
test of political opinion are no longer
remembered, nothing In the retrospect
of our public service will be aa fnrtu
nate and comforting aa th recollection
of official duty well performed, and the
memory of a constant devotion to the
Interests of our confiding fellow coun
