ASTORIA. OREGON:
S17XUA.Y MARCH 13. 1837
A new and promising step has
been taken in India in the direc
tion of developing home industries
to supply home needs. Hitherto
the product of the teeming wheat
fields has been shipped to Europe,
and from Europe has been brought
in return the same wheat ground
into flour for Indian consumption.
This was a capital arrangement for
ship owners and European millers.
But it has dawned upon the native
mind that the work of grinding
may as well be done at home, and
the profits of European merchants
and millers saved for the Indian
people. Accordingly, a great na
tive milling corporation has been
formed at Bombay, and there are
indications that it will be imitated
in other Indian cities, This will
probably mean higher prices to the
wheat grower and lower prices to
the bread consumer, and general
advantage to the Indian people.
The Astoeian" is asked what
effect the death of Captain Jas. B.
Eads will have on his ship railway
across the isthmus scheme, and in
what condition that project is as
regards congressional action. The
bill to incorporate the Atlantic and
Pacific ship railway, Eads' Te
huantepec scheme came up in
the United States senate February
5th. In its original shape it was
very favorable to the projectors,
guaranteed governmental support
to the enterprise to the extent of
$7,500,000 annual interest charges.
The matter received extended con-,
sideration and was debated at
great length. A bill was finally
passed on the 17th of February
which granted the desired charter,
but withheld any government
guarantee. What effect Capt.
Eads' death will have, we are un
able to say; it will probably delay
active prosecution of the proposed
work.
Among the important measures
passed br the senate before ad
journment was the house bill to
prohibit the importation and im
migration of foreigners and aliens
under contract or agreement to
perform labor which gives authori
ty to the secretary of the treasury
to contract with state commissions,
boards, or officers, for an examina
tion into the condition or passen
gers arriving from abroad. The
names of persons prohibited from
landing are required to be re
ported to the collector of the port,
who shall enforce the prohibition.
The secretary is directed to pre
scribe the regulations for the re
turn of persons prohibited from
landing, and these regulations are
to be enforced by state boards
designated b- the secretary. The
expense of return is devolved up
on the owners of the vessels, and
vessels refusing to bear the ex
pense are prohibited from landing
at or clearing from any port of the
Uuited States. The expenses are
also made a lien upon the vessels.
The act is now irfeffect.
In the Century Edward Atkin
son says of the armies of Great
Britain, France, Germany, Hoi
land, Italy and Belgium that these
six European countries have
2,200,431 men under arms, at an
annual cost of 493,505,520, or at
the -rate of $223 per man. Our
cost is seven times as much per
soldier, but the total cost is rela
tively insignificant. The armed
force of Europe in actual service
is 4,123,374 men, including armies
and navies, besides 10,398,163 re
serves at call, making an aggre
gate of 14,521,539. This is sub
stantially one in five of all men of
the arms-bearing age. The pro
portion, excluding the reserves, is
one in sixteen for all Europe, while
in the United States it is one in
322. Even in Great Britain,
which is about the least harassed
in -this way, it is one in 26. Tak
log not the arms-bearing, but the
entire population, the ratio of the
European armies and navies is as
1 to $1, or even 1 to 24, including
reserves, while that of the United
Sstates is as 1 to 1,610.
