Thcro are all sorts of canards

Note tho adv. of J. F. Halloran
& Co., in reference to job printing.
From long and intimate acquaintance
with these parties we feel justified in
the belief that they will do what they
say. If you want bill heads, letter
heads, order books, statements, en
velopes, stamped or plain, give them
the job and you'll be satisBed with tho
styles and prices. Wo give theso par
ties a little puff, feeling that they de
serve it.
Thero is some dissatisfaction in
the minds of higli eastern officials m
relation to the shelling of an Indian
village in Alaska, by Commodore
Mcrriman. Geo. IvastrometinolT, who
has long resided thcro as an interpre

day, on his way to San Francisco, de
clares that ''it was iust right." That
such a display will have a better effect
than six months' palaver, and that
Mernman should be uphold in his ac
tion. This neems to be the general
opinion.

Communications wero read b' the
secretary from Senators Graver and
Slater, and Representative George,
and Representative Brents, of W. T.,
acknowledging recoipt of memorials j
and pledging their active co-operation
in the petition. It was resolved
that the secretary be instructed to

request that that body endorse the

the meeting adjourned.
The chamber has now been in exist
ence for a nnmbiT of years, and with
pride refer to its record as being that
of Astoria's progress. It has done a
great deal for the plac'; has inaugu
rated improvements, obtained conces
sions, protested successfully against
slights and encroachments, instituted
measures for the common prosperity
and good, and at all tims3 has been in
the van in calliug attention to our
wants as a community and devising
means whereby those wants and
necessities can ibo successfully dealt
with. Since lat fall, it has by in
incrcased membership and rnewed
interest bean able to still further
increase tho sphere of its usefulness,
and should, :n this instance, but serve
as an index of what can bo accom
plished by an even wider co-oporation
on tho part of our business men. Its
acts aud deliberation affect every
citizen of the place, and have always
tended to increase our prosperity at
home and our standing abroad.
Attempted Escape.
Yesterday morning as Constable
Oliver was about taking the prisoners
at the counly jail iheir breakfast an
attempt at escape was made which was
unsuccessful. He says: "I opened
tha outer door and then going forward
Bet down the basket and opened the
iron door directly in front, as I did so
there was a rush to get out on the
part of those inside; I presented my
revolver and ordered them back.
Then one said he wanted to 'see mo
inside, but the light was better whare
I was, so I didn't go in."

Tin Plate.
The rcportc-d action of the house
committee on ways and means con
cerning tho duty ou tin plats, which
is to bo advanced from ono and ono
tonth cents to two and ue-fith cents
per pound is said io bd instigated by
certain Now York parti! who want
to establish a tin plato factory in that
s-tatc, aud, of course, waul "pro
tection." Thera is a Reed doil of
injustice under the head of "pro
tection," and it has a good deal tn
answer for already. This is but ilius
tratiTc of tho wholo system which is
founded on fraud and upheld by
monopoly. To our Columbia cannery -men
it will make a little difference.
but to tho domoitie consumers ofjedy. Prlre.Tocents. Masai Injector fnv.
canned Roods it will make a trcmen-r'"
dons iiffereace, the
tho ono who hut
consumer using
to pay for the
... i
gentlemen from Tserr York who
wish to be 4protected" becaus they
think they can make money manufac
turing tin if tho government can only
be made help them. From present
appearances their chance are excel
lent. The importation of tin plato into
Astoria is an important item: From
the 1st of December '8L to the lt of
December '32, Astoria imported HS,
782 boxes of tin plate: during the
sixteen days of January, there has
come 24,921 boxes. A box of tin
wiil weigh 109 pounds. The average
value of the tinis $6.50 per box. On
this there is a duty of ono and ono
tenth cents per pouud, or $1.20 a box.
Tho government increasing that duty
to 2.40 a box would compel every
one in the United States who oat
canned fruits, vegetables, me.it or fiah
to pay extra. Of course tho fruit or
vegetable canncr isn't going to loso it;
all he can do is just as the man in
Arkamaw '.hat stole the mule, "in
self-defence" put up the price. Our
Columbia cannerymen aro allowed
a rebate, so that it will not bear
so hard upon them, though the whole
thing is onerous. Some of our can
neries ship their silmon pack, or a
good portion of it, easL They got
nothing back in the way of rebate.
It takc3 107 boxes of tin to pack a
thousand cases of silmon; out of this
there is a certain waste, and tho cus
tom house authorities, by frequent
measurement, havo averaged that al
lowance shall bo made forOo cases out
of 107. Tha ti3 if the tin is worked up
into cans and shipped back to England,
the importer gets bnck the dut he
paid ou what he is credited with ship
ping back, 1cb ten per cent. For in
stanco a cannery packs 1,000 cases of
salmon; it has paid duty on 107 boxes
tin; when tho ship is roady for sea
tho government gives back the duty
on 9G boxes, say $115, less ten per
cent., or 103. o0. But California or
eastern packers of fruit, etc, finding
their market in this country get no
rebate and, eventually, "the dear peo.
pie" have to pay. But what's tho dif
ference, so thst two or three men in
New York can anuts a fortune by
being "protected?" even though ten
million of people have to contribute
to said private fortune without any
resulting beaeGt.
