ASTORIA, OREGON:
SATURDAY Z. MAY 10. 18S3
Saw 2Lills for Astoria.
Astoria should hsive two or
three large saw mills owned by
her own citizens to saw lumber for
export. The three mills now saw
ing here have all they can do to
saw for the local trade and make
boxes. Astoria, beinjr situated at
the mouth of the river, offers
unusual inducements for this busi
ness. The logs are of as good a
quality as found on Puget Sound,
and are to be had in great abund
ance. The cost of towing logs to
the mill is less than to points
above Astoria. The cost of ship
ping lumber to airy of the foreign
ports will be less from Astoria
than from any points above Asto
ria. Besides these advantages
there will be another verT great
advantage over any other point
farther inland. A vessel of the
largest size can load with lumber
at Astoria to her fullest capacity
without being required to lighter
any part of her cargo. The peo
ple of Seattle and New Tacoma
have shown commendable enter
prise in building up their saw
mills to add to their wealth and
profit. It will be well for Asto
rians to follow their example.
One or two of our canneries would
furnish excellent site and oppor
tunity for the enterprise.
A Statesman's Views.
HoiiATJO Seymour, the political
Nestor of the empire state, who
was defeated for the Presidency
fifteen years ago, is a man whose
views are always entitled to re
spectful consideration. He rises
from the province of petty politi
cal tricks to the higher plane of
statesmanship. In a recent in
terviewjspeaking of leading public
questions he said:
"Many aspects of the tariff are
now being considered as they
were, not formerly, and there is a
growing interest with regard to
the question in the minds of our
farmers and producers, and also
with the great carrying interest.
As transportation is now mainly
upon tne railroads, tne cost oi
carrying must be influenced by
the cost of building such roads.
The tariff on iron is very high, and,
to paT for iron and the duty on it
the capital of a hundred compa
nies, on which dividends are now
paid, must be enlarged. Here
again the increased cost of cloth
ing to laborers must be added to
their wages. If all the items of
expense of building a railroad
growing out of duties are consid
ered, they will be found to amount
to a large sum. This Is added to
their charges, and the increase
mainly falls upon our farmers and
tends to lessen exportations. Thus
it may be that the carrying inter
ests may take alarm. "Wo have seen
that both France and German'
have shown jtiw inclination to
shut out the products of
our country. If Gladstone's
admistratibn should be overthrown
and the Tory party should come
into power in Great Britain it will
probably impose tariffs upon our
grains and other kinds of food ex
port, for the landholders of Britain
are severely pressed by our com
petition. Those who oppose free
trade in Britain are aided lv the
speeches and arguments of indis
creet high tariff men in this coun
try. All classes now stud' the
prospects of the export of our pro
ducts in making up their opinions
as to the business prosperity of
our country. If the polic' of our
country aims at cutting off all im
ports, it will end in the destruc
tion of our export trade. I think
this will be the principal subject
of discussion in the near future.
In the presidential campaign next
year I think it will be a subject
which will most occupT the pub
lic mind, without regard to part'
platforms. I think that the true
policy is in adhering to a revenue
tariff. I am friendly to the man
ufacturing interests. I think the
great danger to their success grows
out of the extreme views of
men claiming to be their cham
pions. If it is true that sound
policy demands a protective tariff
here, then it is true it is de
manded by the interests of all
other countries. The discussion
of this topic will be of good use in
leading men from the minor sub
jects of partisanship, and will build
up a class of political leaders who
will not merely seek the spoils of
office. Men do notmakediscus-
sions discussions make men, as
was the case in the days of "Web
ster, Clay, Calhoun, Yan Buren
and Wright. I conclude that
Beck, of Kentucky is a gentle
men who may not be obscure in
the discussion of these questions.
TheEepublican part is now favor
able to a protective tariff, while 1
think a majority of the Democrat
ic party prefer a revenue tariff.
I do not think all the members of
either party arc entirely in accord
en these questions, but I think it
"will be a prominent question in
the next presidential election, be
cause the high tariff men will force
the fight, and while I do not, of
course, know the result of the
next election, if the views I hold
are correct, they will govern the
end."
Indisputable Facts.
It would be cheaper in the long
run for Portland to pension the
hungry ghouls who want Lap
peus's place and let the matter
drop. Statesman.
There is a vast empire open yet
for settlement from The Dalles to
the Rocky Mountains, and one can
see by occasional visits to that
section how rapid this is being
populated and the visible improve
ments made in the various towns.
The empire of the northwest is
destined to become the granary of
the world. Standard-
Natural locations, choice sites,
outside help, fine surrounding
country, etc., are not alone sufli
cient to build up cities, nor are
they to be compared with enthu
siasm, enterprise, intelligent aim
and determined effort on the part
of populations located at points
in nowise comparable. Posl
Intelligenctr. Yesterday a star route trial
juror, Geo. B. Sheriff, was ill, and
as a consequence there was no
session of this interminable event
in the already long history of
American jurisdiction. Happy
sickness, joyful event, as it re
lieved 50,000,000 of people from
reading that sterotyped line "At
the morning session of the star
route trial," etc. News.
The telegraphic service of the
northwest is inadequate misera
bly inadequate. It is impossible
to get news service performed ex
peditiously, to the amount re
quired, and commercial business is
often delayed simply because the
company has not wires to carry it.
For the great increase of business
which the northwest affords the
company has provid no proper fa
cilities. If note has been taken of
the growth of the country and the
demand for additional service the
knowledge has not been acted
upon. Oregon ian.
"We would not only exempt all
new manufactories from taxation
but the old as well, thus placing
them on equal footing in compet
ing for business, and would go
even further than this, we would
advocate that the city of Seattle
offer as an inducement to any
firm who would agree to invest
not less than $50,000 in any le
gitimate manufacturing business a
free site within the county and a
premium of $5,000 for the one first
iu operation, and it is safe to say
that inside of a year we would
have a paper mill, a beet sugar
factory and a boot and shoe facto
ry. Seattle Herald.
Woman's Advancement.
About sixty years ago Hannah
Adams went into tho Boston Athe
neum to read. It "vras the first
time that a woman had gone to a
public library to avail herself of
privileges that, had belonged ex
clusively to men, and all Boston
was shocked by the innovation,
declaring Hannah Adams out of
her sphere. To-day there are
more women reading books in
the great public library of Boston
than men, but who will say they
arc out of their sphere, or that
households are neglected, or home
life disturbed because Boston wo
men are well read? Had Hannah
Adams done her reading at home
she wonld have been in her sphere.
But she could not get access to
the books she wanted only bjr go
ing to the atheneum, as men did,
to read. It did her no harm and
probably" did the reading men
some good. But the reading wo
men in the Boston library to-day
are just as much out of their
sphere as was Hannah Adams six
ty years ago. Nearly twenty
years ago the first woman suffrage
convention was held in Washing
ton, and the meeting was broken
up and rendered a failure by . the
ridicule of noisy men and boys,
whom the police prcteuded to
suppress, but in reality encouraged
iu their lawlessness. It was a
greater innovation than reading in
a public library, and the women
were not only out of their sphere,
but decidedly unwomanly. To
day, says the Capital) the same
women who were so ridiculed then
can fill the largest hall in
the city with an audience sec
ond to none other for cul
ture, intelligence and "social posi
tiou. But these women are just
as much out of their sphere now
as they were twenty years ago.
Every innovation has its pioneer.
Every movement has its leader.
Hannah Adams was the pioneer
to open the !xoks in public
libraries to women, and the women
suffragists have opened the way
for women to find their sphere,
wherever they can be most useful
in making the best of their oppor
tunities for self-improvement, self
support, and the support oi those
dependent upon them. They have
educated public sentiment, and to
day it is the woman who works
and is independent that is respect
ed, rather than the woman who is
idle and content to find her sphere
in a life of idleness. It is no longer
a question whether women shall
work for a living, but what shall
they do, and can they render as
valuable service as men? It has
been decided that as teachers their
services are often more valuable
than the services of men. They
are often given a preference over
men in stores, and in many kinds
of work are equal with men.
The Denver and Rio Grando
railwav, the new transcontinental
line to San Francisco, via Ogden
and the Central Pacific railway,
was completed last Thursday, the
last spike being driven at Ogden,
and connection made with the
Central Pacific road at that point.
Through trains began running at
once. The completion of this line
is regarded as an important event,
establishing a new transcontinen
tal system, passing through mag
nificent scenery, and tributary to
the most important towns and cit
ies 01 Colorado and Utah.
The secretary of the interior
has decided adversely upon the
application of the Northern Pacific
for the withdrawal from settle
ment and entry indemnity lands ly
ing twenty miles or more bej'ond
the original alternate sections
granted in the charter, but has
sanctioned the action of the com
missioner of the land office in
withdrawing indemnity lands ad
joining alternate sections.
