The tosage of the ship from Astoria to Portland and return and the attend ant expenses ere paid for by the farmer Certainly no one else will pay ' the bill It may be said "the wheat koet through Portland." How is it to be taken to As torn, 100 miles for nothing? Will mak ingAttjriaa shipping point eliminate by some unnatural process the cost of that extra haul . The answer tj reUy. Whsat loads at Albany on the care should be deliver ed at the month of the Columbia river at the same rate now charged to Portland Grant Portland a differential, but put be Oregonian seaport on the same foot ing regarding railroad freight Iwith Se attle and Tacoma. The Oregonian, in editorial of October 26, and speaking for the 0. R.& S.Co., acknowledged that freight rates from the interior have been and are too high. Why hasn't the Ore gontan preached tnat doctrine long ago? But these matters are the A B O of toe Astoria proposition. Tbe ultimate lose of the orevailme shipping condition in Oregon falls on tbe farmer. The Imme diate gain go?e to the transportation companies. If the spectacle that brings these facts to mind are nnpleaaant and disagreeable to the papers of Astoria it is because tbiy realize all that preeent arrangement! mean. If tbe Democrat ia uncojctrned it is because it has not yet discovered that tbe people of Lion county pay for the dilay and ct ol banting tboee ships nnnecceesarily np and down tha Columbia and Willamstt rivers. To tbe people of Clatsop county the disciiminaton against the month of the Colombia rivar is a brake on the possi bilities o! trade and growth in the entire Colombian basin. To the people of Linn count it means hard money ex torted every year from their pockets. John J. Lints got sarcastic in a speech in Congress as follows: We are in favor o! nominating W. J.
