3IABKET PECULIAKITIES.
Ciiadwell, Oct. 17, 1884.
Ed. Astebiak:
It strikes me very forcibly that the As
toria markets are very different from the
markets in eastern cities. Here the deal
ers pay the same price for poor potatoes
that they pay for good ones. In tho New
York markets grain and dairy fed hogs
are often quoted at 34 cents per pound
more than hogs fatted on anything else.
It is not so here. Hogs fatted at the
slaughter yards bring the same price that
our dairy fed hog3 bring. Look at the
New York beef quotations. Large fat
steers that dress from 800 to 1000 are al
ways about four cents per pound higher
than small ones that are equally as fat.
I claim that our beef cattle raised here
are better than tho cattle brought here
from other localities. They lose flesh
every dav after they leave their range un
til they are slaughtered. There is where
all of the tough beef comes from. But
dealers pay the same price for anything,
if it is only beef; there is no reward of
fered for a superior article of anything.

STIBRING SPEECn OF J. C. LEASUBE
DellTered At Occidental Hall Last Erenlaff.
J. C. Lc-asure, of Eastern Oregon, one
of the trio who will have tho pleasure of
casting Oregon's electoral vote for Blaine
and Logan next December, addressed a
lively audience at Occidental Hall last
evening.
Ho was introduced by Capt. J. H. D.
Gray, upon which Mr. Leasure stepped
forward and said:
"After the Vermont election had passed
they said "wait;" after Vermont, Maine,
still "wait;" then Ohio; now we feel like
saying in tho words of Garfield, "God
reignB and tho government yet lives."
You have heard a good many speeches,
among others you have heard the cham
pion of Democracy, Senator Slater. At
the outset let me speak of the land grant
system. You have a right to know the
exact record on this question, and I wish
to place it before you."
Mr. Leasure read from the Democratic
platform regarding the expressed senti
ments of the party, relating to the mat
ter of land grants. Ho denied the charge
therein contained that the Republican
party was responsible for tho extensive
land grants: In proof he called atten
tion to tho fact that it was under a Dem
ocratic administration and in accordance
with Democratic policy that the initial
series of theso great land grants were
passed. Senator Slater had said differ
ently, but tho facts were in direct oppo
sition to the senator's statements.
In 18."0 to the Illinois Central It. B.
Co., on a bill introduced by Stephen A.
Douglas, was granted by a Democratic
administration over 2,000,000 acros of the
public lands. He quoted tho language of
Thos. A. Hendricks in 18G4, discussing
tho N. P. B. B. bill, when ho said
that he was in favor of tho N. P. grant
and at which timo ho talked and voted
for that great railroad grant. Regarding
tho O. C. land grant he quoted from Jos.
S. Smith where he said that ,"as a good
Democrat" he would vote in favor of that
bill, and he ( Smith ) claimed that it
originated in tho Democratic party.
History and the record showed that it
was not a Republican measure as it had
received almost unanimous endorsement
from tho Democratic party. Twelve
years ago the National Republican Con
vention declared that there should bo no
more land grants to railroads and kept
their word.
Mr. L. B. Ison, tho Democratic candi
date for elector had dodged this question;
he had claimed that there was no issue
between the two parties. That would
hardly suit the idea of a nation; it might
auit those who only believed in a league
of states. Tho great question was "How
shpll we act to produce tho greatest good
to tho greatest.number." The Republi
can party is tho party of tho nation, to
so conduct national uffsurs as to induce
and secure the greatest measuro of na
tional prosperity, and Mr. Leasure read
from the party platform in proof of what
he said. That was the Ropublican party
policy from Lincoln to Blaine and was
the great nil-embracing idea that ap
pealed to the heart of the American
psople.
On the question of the tariff the De
mocracywas divided. One portion say
"a tariff for revenue;" another crowd cry
"free trade." On this great question the
Democracy was divided. Ho would quote
Senator Slater on the matter of protec
tion. That gentleman had quoted gar
bled statistics regarding isolated portions
of tho country's history. Take itasa
whole and not in sections. "When De
mocracy had ascendency there was as
Tnuch natural wealth in the country as
there is to-day. What had Democrac
done?
"When Jamas Buchanan stepped out h6
left an empty treasury, and the credit of
the government was below i ar. What
did it? Free trade. Buchanan acknowl
edged it in his messago to congress. The
declaration stands thero on record. But
Mr. Slater talks of 1837. He says there
was money enough in the country then.
But thero wasn't. Then the country was
sending out 6G,000,000 and getting back
8,000,000. This is history; tho history of
free trade and a fair showing of its ef
fects. Then the laborer had 75 cents a
day; now under protection how is it?
Under Democratic rule our free school
system, the pride of America, the hope
of our country, languished. Under Uiat
rule farmers got starvation prices for
their products. All this under tho sys
tem that Senator Slater extols.
When Lincoln, tho first Republican
president, took the helm it was with an
empty treasury, and an impending war.
The country was saved, her credit re
vived, her bonds put above par, the great
debt incurred to save tho Union was be
ing paid, and we were sending out 17,
000.U00 annually and getting back 93,
000,000. Laborers are getting American
wages now, and manufactures are pros
pering. Conditions aro reversed now and
labor is better paid and the necessaries of
life are cheaper. This is the record of
tho two parties. Let n candid public ex
amine and decide.
Discontended people want a change;
they want cheap money; they want things
turned round; but the good, honest, work
ing public didn't; they were doing well
enough and satisfied with tho protective
system that gave all labor an equal share
in tho government. A Democrat believes
that on a tariff-for-reveuue, or free trade
basis, things would be cheaper. Were
that experiment tried labor would at once
tumble and a dollar would bo harder to
get.
Our country differs from others in hav
ing such a diversity of industries. Eng
land stakes her all on manufactures.
She must have free trade or perish. Her
70,000 manufacturers control tho 78,000,
000 population and have tho grandest
monopoly on earth. They want America
to break down and let the flood in. In
England is no competition. There they
have labor by the throat and they mean
to keep it so. With us is healthy competi
tion and no matter how poor tho man,
no matter how low his start he can climb
to position and share in all the privileges
that our government presents. It re
minded him of tho Irishman who came
here and worked for good wages, and
saved it and then spent it, and after
thinking over it concluded that ho could
g6t as much in Ireland for a bit as he
could here for a dollar. When asked
whv he didn't stay there he said, "be
cause I didn't have the bit," and that,
the speaker thought was about the size
of it.
"But," says a Democrat, "open the
doors of our ports." Were every , port
in the United States thrown open we
could only sell so much any how, while
under the present system, wholesale com
petition makes goods as low as they can
be.
"Well, we'd iust as soon havo a
change," say other Democrats, and a few
lukewarm Republicans. Hendricks was
uckk"k iwr u cuango in xnuiana. y, nat
reason can be brought forward for a
change? Look at the condition of the
country. How can Democracy improve
it r ah inai tno nomocracy want is a
change! Thero is a class that aro for
ever barred in the Republican party; that
ciass, represented oy nypocntos like
hold office; they want a change. They
.were like the old Elder who led a little
baud of Adventists, who went upon the
mountain all ready to ascend; they wait
ed patiently, and at lost the old elder
fell asleep, and at last the night growing
cold they lit a fire in the brusnheap,
where tho old elder lay placidly dream
ing. "In hell ; just as I expected," was
the old elder's comment when he awoke
in the blaze. And so it was with Schurz
and Co.
It was impudenoe on tho part of the
Democratic nartv to ask for 'a chanpa"
on its record. That record always fol
lowed on the trail of the Republican
party, but a long way behind. They op
posed tho homestead law; they opposed
tho schools; the constitutional amend
ments; they opposed all tho great meas
ures oi tno last tniriy years, nnu meu
when they wero shown that they wero
wrong dropped in submissively.
When Hancock was defeated, Watter
sou, of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
came near stating the truth in reciting
the party's mistakes, and showing how
they could never expect to w4n unless by
being consistent.
But the Democrats say, "We want to
examine the books?" Well, there they
are! Thoy have as much right to exam
ine the public records as tho books in tho
office of the county clerk. The Demo
crats have had control of congress and
had plenty of opportunity to "examine
tho books," but haven't done it. They
claim "fraud," but bring no proofs.
In regard to the candidates, he womu
say that thero was no charge against
Blaine in 1834 that had not been brought
and exploded in 1876. Blaine had been
acquitted. Maine sent him from the
houso to tho United States senate,
and he towered in intellect in that
great body. Then Garfield raised him
to the second place in tho nation,
and was unanimously endorsed by
the conercss of the United States. Why
didn't Democratic representatives prefer
charges then? Senator Slater now ob
jects. He was in the senate then. Why
didn't ho object then. Blaine had been
tried this fall bv a jury in Vermont and
acquitted: in Maine, and acquitted, in
Ohio and acquitted, nnd in November
would bo seen the spirit form of James
A. Garfield at tho national capital saying
to James G. Blaine, "Come up higher."
"Logan is a rebel," they say. "Ho used
to bo a Democrat." Well, he had been a
Douglas Democrat, and that was a splen
did endorsement, fer the Douglas Demo
crats had always been true to the Union.
Mr. Leasure read from Logan's speeches
to illustrate his patriotism, and showed
that "in the times that tried men's souls,"
John A. Logan was for the Union in every
fibre of his being.
How about Cleveland? What does he
amount to? At tho best ho i3 only aver
age. He has no record as n statesman.
Ho was never in tho legislature of his own
state; ho has no experienco and stands no
comparison with Blaine, tho statesman
tried and true. He was mado governor of
New York because Republicans rebuked
the administration by staying at
home. Thero would bo nothing
of the kind in November. Mr.
Hendricks was a fit candidate
for his party.. He had been in favor of
secession. He had cursed Lincoln, and
called his soldiers "hirelings." If heav
er should become president the capital
would ba overrun with rebel brigadiers.
In that case tho appointing power would
ruin the country. The speaker waved
tho bloody shirt to some extent and ap
pealed to his audience to do their part
in keeping tho solid south from ruling
tho country they once tried to ruin. He
claimed that the time had not yet come
when tho country could bo given with
safety to the Democratic party.
Mr. Leasure then closed with the
prophesy that on the 4th of next month
Oregon would give the largest majority
ever given a Republican president. Long
continued applaused greeted tho orator
as he bid the audience good night.
After the close of tho speech Ed. D
Curtis came forward and amid consider
able applause read a poem, written by
Astoria talent, and dedicated to the As
toria Blaine and Logan club, which
formed a fitting finish to the evening.
At the close of the poem three rousing
cheers and a tiger were given for Blain
and Logan, three more for tho Oregon
boy, J. C. Leasure, who had made the
speech, and three more for the poet.
SAH EXPERIENCE OF A SKA CAPTAIN.
Captain Joshua Slooum, commanding
the American bark Aquidneck, who two
years ago rescued a half dozen castaway
Indians of ono of the islands in tho Pa
cific ocean and took them to Japanwhere
bo raised voluntary subscriptions suffi
cient to send them back to their home in
a steamer, told a Tribune reporter of the
mysterious disappearance of some
wrecked castaways off tho cost of Brazil,
whom he made every effort to rescue at
the risk of life and vessel in a heavy gale.
"We were on tho way from Pernam
buco to Buenos Ayros," he said, "when
on the night of July 22, in latitude 42
45' south, longitude 52' west, I was star
tled from my sleep by tho second mate
reporting that a burning torch had been
seen for a few moments and cries of dis
tress heard on our weather bow not far
off. Then I sprang from my berth, but
before I could reach tho deck tho light
had disappeared and the cries for help
had grown fainter. It wa3 blowing a
gale, and a heavy sea was running, the
end of a 'pampero' which had been rag
ing south of us. It was such weather as
would make the collapse of anything
probable. I had tho vessel around on the
other tack as soon as possible and sailed
back and forth and around the spot
where the light had been seen, in the
meantime showing a flash light from the
bark, but nothing was seen or heard ex
cepting the gale and tho roaring seas.
"I did everything possible to discover
what this might have been,-and after re
maining in the vicinity a couple of hours
more the ship was again put on her course
with considerable reluctance and gloomy
feelings. Perhaps it was a ship-wrecked
party from some largo vessel, or
they may havo been some Brazilian fish
ermen blown off the coast; but this was
only conjecture In their over-enthusiasm
and despair of the possibility of be
ing rescued, they had probably overtaxed
the stability of their craft, and the cry
heard by tho second mato was their last
cry. If the second mate had responded
to the first hail, and had set fire to a ball
of oakum, and if ho had tacked ship at
the first call and sent some ono to arouse
me instead of doing it himself, thus los
ing several minutes, the poor fellows
might have been saved.
Three days after this occurrence Cap
tain Slocum's wife died, leaving three
children, the youngest being James
Abram Garfield Slocum, who was born
in Yokohama on tho day that General
Garfield was inaugurated president. Mrs.
Slocum had been the captain's compan
ion on his voyages for the last thirteen
years, and was known in almost every
seaport. She was in the prime of life,
being only 35 years of age, and had al
ways been a robust woman until two
years ago, when her health was broken
down by anxiety and fears for the safety
of her husband and family during a voy
age abroad. Tho captain's floating homo
showed the handicraft of bis wife in tho
embroidered curtains, sofa cushions and
chair tidies. In tho cabin was also a
Eiano upon which she played, and the
ulkheads were decorated with paintings.
She was buried at Buenos Ayres. The
captain, speaking of the death of his
wife, said: "This is the greatest calam
ity of a man's life, and I feel at times al
most ready to give up with grief; that I
have no course to steer, and feel like a
ship with no rudder even if I had a
course to steer. Then I think of my dear
children and feel that I must do what I
can for them."
