WE CONCEDE HIS RIGHT.
When an Astoria business man de
clines to advertise in the columns of
the Morning Astorian, he is exercis
ing his perfect right and unquestioned
personal judgement, and may not be
reproached nor catechised as to his
coarse; it is his money, bis busine.;.
his furore, and he is the responsible
party in the premise: and as free as
he is responsible: But when he ad
vermes tne tact that he does not
advertise in the Astorian" he throws
down the bars to this office to assert
itself and make manifest the reason
why he does not use our columns.
There is a case in point the parties
to which are Manager Frank Hanlin
of the Astoria Theater and the J. &
DelUnger Company, publishers of the
Morning Astori.n; and for the better
pap on one year there has existed a
mutual, pleasant, and supposedly
profitable, business relation between
the two houses.

course there has been no manner

of course, did not know this, had no

To this extent, Mr. Hanlin has been
the beneficiary of a generous gratuity;

Piles declared that practically th
only persons seeking a lumber tariff
reduction are American owners of
timber in Canada and he presented an
appeal from the Washington forest

He exhibited an original proposed
contract of sale that Canadian lumber
men had submitted to American con
sumers, in which they stipulate that
one half of the reduction in duty shall
