Some More Remarks.
PORTLAND, Or, Sept 1. (To the
Editor.) We note, with feelings of dis
appointment and chagrin, your editorial
of this data under the above headline.
and recall with deep regret the too
true saying of some one,- somewhere,
that "if a man were constant he were
perfect." It makes It difficult for us
to see how under any regime, tarifl
reform can ever obtain so long as its
advocates play hot and cold with the
subject as Interest or prejudice pre
vailing at the time may dictate.
"But passing this," you say, "the
more costly style of living that pre
vails, if the cost of living, the cost of
staple articles of food and clothing are
greater, who is to blameT Who makes
the exaction? Who gets the money?"
You cite the farmer who makes his ex
actions, yet you say he has nothing left.
because of the wages he pe,ys. So the
wage-earners are the cormorants who,
octopus like, are sucking tire lifeblood
of all our industries and enterprises.
Who has so charged before, and where
Is the evidence to sustain the charge?
But who really geta the profit on the
costly ' attire, gorgeously furnished
homes of the wage-earner and farmer?
Their wages and earnings are, and ever
have been, and for aye will be, limited
to the demands of their existence, com
petition. Tou have shown this so often
and so forcefully that a pigmy should
not trespass upon the subject with
your readers. What these necessities
are and have been, how they arose and
were met, let each wage-earner answer.
How much cash have they left? Who
makes the exaction? Who gets the
money? That is the question. But yes
terday we read in your columns of Mr.
of the grand old state of Penn
sylvania, rock ribbed Republican, and
more securely protected in every in
dustry than the Dreadnaught with
armor plate, a steel (steal?) prince, who
manufactures the railroad Irons, the
farmers' tools, building materials, etc.,
makes a spread and kills the fatted
calf, though there was no wandering
boy to return on this his golden
jubilee, and he places under the plate
of each of his four children the snug
little golden egg of $4,000,000, with
holding untold millions yet for distri
bution. Who would not kill this goose?
Yet there was on the same, day more
than 1,000,000 heads of families in
these United States, ready, willing, and
maybe at work, who could not place
round-steak upon the plate for one
child. Who Indeed makes It thus costly
to live? "Who makes the exaction?
Who gets the money?"
. "W. T. BURNET."
This begs the whole question in a
sentimental way. A few always will
be rich, tariff or no tariff; more will
be well-to-do, more will be In
merely .comfortable circumstances.
and many will be poor. But the work
ing classes as a whole live better than
they did aforetime and so do the farm
ers, who are working people them
selves. If one fixes his eyes on the
rich, who are comparatively few, and
consumes his heart with envy of one
family in a million, where each child
geta a large Inheritance, safe to say
he will always have a grievance against
the world and the whole order of
things. We all see how some get ad
vantages through protective tariff that
others do not share. Indeed it is Im
possible that all should share them
equally; and this is one main argu
ment against it. But we all know, also.
that no party, no matter what its pro
fessions, will cut protection out. The
Democratic party. If it comes into
power, will only change the schedules.
so as to favor certain interests that do
not think themselves favored suf
ficiently now. This is merely the tit-for-tat
of politics. No more Is the Dem
ocratic party a free trade party than the
Republican party is; but undoubtedly
it would shift its schedules it it had
a chance, as it did in the Wilson bill.
But that was regarded by the country
as a more unjust tariff than the other.
Besides, Mr. Burney, unless he has
property got by Inheritance, which he
seems to disapprove, or has made it by
rise of values, which our honest re
formers condemn, will have to work
for a living lust the same, tariff or
no tariff. The Oregonlan dislikes pro
tective tariff and even hates it. But
it doesn't expect to see It abandoned
or put down for a long time. If ever:
and, moreover. It knows that the Dem
ocratic party is merely juggling with
It for political advantage.

THREE RAILROADS ARE BUILDING
TO
BAT
You hear more or less about these through the dally press, and nearly everyone nows that
when they are completed they will open up one of the most beautiful spots in the world.
Many persons have also heard something about Bayocean Park at Tillamook Bay. Not many
persons know, however, that the owners of Bayocean Park are expending on improvements in
this wonderful spot nearly enough money' to build another railroad; yet such is the case, and thia
fact should convince you that Bayocean is going to be a magnificent resort, such a resort,
in fact, as the people of the Northwest have always needed, but never possessed.
At the present time we have a large force of men at work with a huge engine and piladriver
building; a bulkhead over four miles long, the entire length on the bay side of Bayocean Park.
We have, also, just let a contract f or the construction of an immense dredge. This we have
purchased outfight, and it will be- used for filling in back of the bulkhead, thus making a mag
nificent boulevard rom one end of the peninsula to the other.
It will also be used to dredge out a chain of lakes which vre propose to have through the center
of our Eecreation Park ak"Bayocean. This Recreation Park win contain over twenty-three acres,
and our "Coney Island, V or places of amusement, will be built around these lakes.
We are working hard and spending large sums of money on these improvements, and when
we are through every one wilt go to Bayocean Park. It will then be impossible to purchase
building lots at Bayocean for less than several thousand dollars each. Tou can buy those same
lots now for a mere trifle and on asyVterms. Now is the time to invest. Tou can mak thou
sands of dollars surely and safely by acting promptly. " -
STERE0PTIC0N VIEWS
Bayocean Park is one of the grandest, wildest spots on -the Oregon shore. One of the very
best photographers of the Northwest has taken photographs showing every part of this wonder
land, and from these photographs we have had made one of the choicest set of stereopticon views
ever presented in this city. We should like very much to show this set of views to the people
of Portland and at the same time tell them of Bayocean Park as it is and as it will be. You are,
therefore, cordially invited to attend a series of evening exhibitions at whioh these views will
be shown. Free tickets may be had by calling at the office of

the initial effort was not profitable the
police expect that the national persist
ence of the Japanese will eventually bring
the offender into their clutches. While re
turning home last nlirht, Alfred Greene-
baum. president of the Alaska Codflshlng
Company, was accosted by a Japanese,
who pressed a revolver against nis neaa
and stood silently awaiting tribute. The
assailant made the mistake of getting too
close and Greenebaum knocked him down.
As Greenebaum was escaping the Japan
ese struggled to his feet and fired a shot,
the bullet passing through the white
man's overcoat. When the police arrived,
summoned by Greenebaum, the footpad
had disappeared.
SEABRIGMV NECARNEY CITY
Very Recent Developments
in Railroad Matters
The P. R. & N. Lytle Road people are now extending their survey at the Head
of Nehalem Bay, so ajs to take in directly the SEAB RIGHT and NECARNEY

ing to surveys now being made. This will bring these two resorts another half
hour nearer to Portland.
SEABRIGHT LOTS

priced but a very short time longer, and
NECARNEY CITY LOTS
Now selling at $75.00 per lot, will be raised to at least $100.00 soon. No better
