m gaiUj gtomn. ASTORIA. OREGON: TUESDAY FEBKUARY 28. 18E8 "BROAD AND CONSISTENT." The Asiobiax calls for a reduction or a repeal of the duty on tin plate, which is extensively used in salmon cans. The btg tin monopoly with 8 big protective tariff, charge a big price, as much as they please, for the plate, and every per son that tastes of salmon must taste also strongly of .silver paid to the tin plate monopoly. But why should The Abtoman be sel fish, because it happens to be published in a place where tin-plate is largely con sumed? Vhy not call for a reduction or repeal of the tax on lumber, that enters into the construction of every house, and barn, and fence and chicken-coop? Why not demand reduction or repeal of the duty on sugar, which brings in on im mense revenue, and make3 the sweet bit ter to every consumer? Why not, in short, demand the reduction or repeal of the tariff tax on all necessaries, except such as may be necessary to maintain the covernment. economically adrainis- tfirfxl- Let The Abtobun be broad and consis tent. But then it would get over on the Democratic side, and that wouldn't do, though we don't accuse it 01 any extreme partisanship. East Oregonian, S4lh. This paper calls for repeal o the duty on tin-plate on the broad and consistent ground that the tax is a benefit to no one in this country, as there is no tin-plate manufactory in the United States to need "protec tion." This is not selfish. It is business.- Our contemporary asks ns "why not call for a reduction or repeal of the tax on lumber, on the same broad and consistent reasons that it opposes the tax on tin-plate." To take off the tax on lumber would be to strike a blow at the great lumber industry of west ern Oregon and Washington. That's why. Again it asks why not demand tho reduction or repeal of tho tax on sugar. If our friend of the East Ore gonian will carefully read this paper he will find that's just what we are doing. But if he will dip an inch below the surface and read the Sand wich Islands reciprocity treaty and kindred literature treating on this su gar question, ho will find it n tough matter to tackle. Our critic in tho East Oregonian of fice advises The Astorian to bo "broad and consistent." Thb Astobiak be lieves that its course on this tariff is a consistent one, and is willing to con cede to others thoconsistencyitclaims for itself. As for "broadness," that is a relative term. The turkey that tried to spread itself and hatch thirty-six egg3 had broad views, but its theory of incuba tion was a misfit when practically ap plied. As for any implied fear of getting on the Democratic side, wo will only cite our east Oregon friend to the fact that prominent Democratic newspa pers in all sections of the country take precisely the same stand on this tariff question that Tnn Astorian does. So do prominent Republican newspapers. In gently citing this fact wo bear in mind that delicato lino of Pope's where he speaks of "things unknown proposed as things forgot." The Astobian has tho courage of its convictions and is not troubled with any fears as to its appearing to bo consistent or inconsistent. Emer son defines consistency to bo tho "bug bear of small mind?." Consistency is only an effort at in fallibility. In tho meantime tho late Gen. Han cock's remark that "The tariff U a lo cal issue," so admirably cxpre-ses "tho ! true business" that it costin:t. to be quoted because it cannot bo improved. By the way, tho East Oreyj.i.xv is published in a region where wojI is a chief product. Let our eastern stato contemporary utter a few "broad and consistent" views on the president's messago regarding the taking off of the duty on wool, and senator Sher man's reply to it. They would bo very interesting, even from a "'parti san" standpoint. A oeeat flour trust is said to be one of the projects on foot. Tho great mills of Minneapolis, Detroit and tho northwest are tho prime mov ers in tho scheme. The idea is to lay out tho wheat fields of an immense territory, to send out buyers and keep out all outsiders by resorting to a sys tem of discouragement. Should an outsider turn up at a station and bid for wheat, tho combination canbidSor 10 cents higher and shut him out Tho extra price paid did not amount to much when averaged up with the pur chases over tho entire district The arrangement with the mills was that each must take its quota of the wheat daily and each pay the pro rata amounts called for by tho agent If any mill wanted any more than its share on any given day it could get it by bidding up tho price and paying the difference in the pool. If this should be carried through, it would cast all other trusts into the shade. The fishermen's treaty recently Bigned by tho international commiss ion will modify the claims of the United States in Alaskian waters. Canada having concluded that she had no foundation to her claim of jurisdiction over tho coast waters within lines drawn from one distant headland to another, will weaken this countrys claim to exclusive jurisdic tion in Bearing's sea. If it should be decided by diplomacy, or international arbitration, that our claim to sole ownership of these waters are un founded, Russia, which gavo its a warranty deed to that region, will owe us compensation in equity, if not leg ally, for ceding to us for valuablo com pensation, a right which is seriously questioned, and may be succeisfully denied. As English company claims to be able to make one ton of pure tin from thirty-three tons of scraps and waste tin, and figures out a profit of S430 a ton for the business, counting pure tin at only 8500 a ton. A LITE issue of the Toledo Sunday Journal was a novelty in that the head lines over each news article, in cluding local, telegraph and editorial, were quotations from Shakespeare. "Patients Healed by Divine aid" reads tho sign of " faith-doctor iu Boston. It isn't every doctor that can take tho Lord into partnership. A SANITAKY SUGGESTION'. Portlaxd, Or. Feb. 2i,. 1883 Editor Astebiak: While in your city a few days ago I was impressed by the utter careless ness shown in allowing sawdust from the Clatsop mill to be depositedon the mud-flats, thereby endangering the health of the wholo community. I have been told that formerly in Se attle, when sawdust was thrown all along the water front and washed by the tide, it was almost impossible to live there owing to the unhealthiness caused; and at all the big mills on tho Sound they have had to build furnaces to burn up the sawdust. Just past the sawmill I heard there were five cases ot typhoid fever, and I don't wonder at it, for tho smell was simply horrible. Your city au thorities would, I think, take prompt measures to stop this nmiso it the matter is properly brought to their attention, and pass necessary ordi nances to compel the mill to barn up the sawdust; otherwise you will bavo a pest-house of your oity instead of, as it should be and is, one of the healthiest places of the Union. (The above is printed as received, but is based on a misconception. of tho facts. At the vicinity indicated, there have been nine cases ot typhoid fever, two of which have proved fatal. C. Christianson, who died last week, and Peter Lee, .who died yesterday, but it does not appear that the rot ting saw-dust was the cause of the epidemic. Investigation leads to the belief that the fever was caused by impure water; the families that bate been nttacked by the fever, use water that comes from a little spring in the bluff, that flows into a tank. It is this water that contains the germs of of the fever that has .proved fatal in two cases within a week, and as a matter of sanitary precaution, this spring should be included in the pro visions regarding the saw-dust which is a detriment to public health. There was a law passed by the leg islature "prohibiting" the casting of saw-dust into navigable streams, but it appears to be one of the proh.bi tory laws that don't prohibit.) NEW TO-DAY.
