Freetraders generally, most tariff rrforaiers. including the mugwumps, poaUvely assert that the amount of Xhc tariff on imiorts is. to just that extent, a tax on the American cou- SRtacr. Some of them assert that this tax is directly added to the price or the imported article, but the more moderate and intelligent free traders content themselves with the assertion that the tax is indirectly borne in its fullness and not directly added to the price of. the imported article. We shall endeavor to show that the tana" tax borne by the consumer either directly or indirectly is not the full xraoant of duty. It may be shown plainly enough that the tax to tbe full amount of the laty is not directly borne. For in itanec, the price of American steel rails is S29 per ton at the mill. The corresponding cost of the same staple in England is 3 17s GO, or say $18.93; 3d to this $2.50 freight and we have the cost here of S2L43, not including the S17 duty, or only $7.57 less than the cost of American steel rails, and sot $17 less, which would be the full amount of the duty. It can not be so easily demonstrated that the full amount of the tariff is not indirectly a tax on the consumer, because the figures do not apply, but tre think it can be proven sat isfactorily, nevertheless, and in this way: Take as the first premise the general admission that our European com petitors, and particularly English saanufactnrcrs, are exceedingly de sirous of a reduction of our import duties. Take as the second premise the as sertion so common now, that import duties could be reduced without caus ing a loss of industry from American workshops to foreign soil. According to these free trade pre mises the conclusion comes tbat not withstanding duties are to be reduced the Americans will still hold their trade. But it the English manu facturer bears none of our import du ties himself cither directly or indi rectly, and tiie American consumer docs bear the entire burden of the tax in osc way or the other, and it the En glish manufacturer really has no hope ot catting into the trade already es tabhsbed and held by Americans, what reasonable and sufficient expla satxm remains for the admitted anxie ty of tho English manufacturers to sec redaccd import duties on this side of the Atlantic? Can any reason be conjured up that will commend itself to practical experience and common sense as does the obvious reason to the pro tectionist, namely, that this anxiety on the part of the foreign manufacturer to see our import duties lowered, anses from a deeply cherished natural desire to escape in the competitive rare a part, or sometimes the whole of oar import duty, which tho im porter has to bear, himself; and sec ondly, from a well-based hope of greatly increased American trade, due to the shutting down of American workshops to a greater or less extent. Recent discussions on the Blair bill to extend Federal aid to education in the states have made prominent the facts that there are now about 1,100,000 colored children in tho cosraon schools of the south and Bearly 100,000 more in private schools, academies and colleges. Of the colored schools to which the lat ter title is given, at least thirty ranks as high as the average college in the sorth. Thirty colleges for colored stadeats and 1,200.000 colored children school is certainly a marvelous exhibit for a region so lately pros trated by war. Ir, instead of trying to down some body and attempting to injure each other, we all worked solely for Astoria, kow grandly and swiftly we would all goabead. It is little petty jealousy aa aulice at others' success that hin decs s here as much as any one thing. Tax Astoeiax urges harmony, and Mgeststhat purely as a matter of policy, apart from any higher motive, R is poor business to be eternally try iag to foment trouble and seek lyHKTCilc Because its owners are js ir A-or .so When husband and wife are true hearted, there is no greater aid to happiness than a few deprivations and hardships at tho commencement of their married life. It is a great thing for each to realize that he or she is sacrificing something for the other. The wife came with empty hands to the husband who had no rich gifts to bestow; but while she is struggling and saving, and he is toiling and de nying himself, the consciousness of doing it for the other's sake confers a happiness nothing can equal. It will be in more prosperous days alone, perhaps, that both will realize the pleasures ot the poverty they endured m youth. In that grand new house there is nothing lacking that taste can devise or wealth pro cure. Yet amid the splendors and delights, the hearts of both the wife's ofteuest, without doubt will turn with wistful affection to the little home of old times, poverty striken and inconvenient as it was. The hardships and discomforts endured within its walls have passed away like mist be fore the sunshine and memory only recalls the delights of contriving, managing and arranging. The fun enjoyed over amateur attempts at carpeting and surprises in cookery. The brief, sweet holidays stolen from weeks of toil, saved for so anxiously and looked for so eagerly These and a hundred other simple joys are the pleasures of poverty, in fact, un dreamt of by the rich and worldly. The McKinlcy bill lately passed by the house ot representatives, which is being attacked so fiercely before the senate committee, contains three im portant features. One is the simpli fication of methods of collecting rev enue, and to that there is compara- tivclv little objection. Another makes important distinction be tween goods sold by sample and those sold in actuality, and to this there is a great deal of objection, especially in New York. The third settles some disputes as to the rates of duty to be charged on goods liable to different classifications, generally fix ing the higher rate, and deprives the importer of the right to a jury trial of such issues, and to these provisions there is very heated opposition. SeattijE, has a rather novel scheme for utilizing its new fire boat as an aid to tho land engines in cases where the burning buildings are too far from the water front to be reached by a stream directly from tho boat Briefly the plan is to provide four or live berths for the boat at dif ferent points on the harbor front, and from these points lay an auxiliary system of eight and six inch water mains through the business district ot the place. These pipes it is proposed to connect with the hydrants, and through them the boat is to be made to force up salt water for the use of the engines in case of a failure of the fresh supply. The curious figures of President Corbiu, showing that the Pennsylvania & Beading Company has paid its men $12,000,000 more for mining its coal than it received from the sale ot its product, are ever ..here considered deceptive. As a matter ot bookkeep ing, they may be correct; but as a matter of Tact, the payment ot $72,000, 000 in freight by the Beading Mining Company to the Beading Bailroad Company, the latter owing the former, illustrates one way in which, by jug gling with the figures, an actual profit may be made to look like the deficit which jtfr. Corbiu reports. Ilpscne Club Election, Ele. At the Bescue club last evening tho usual excellent programme was ren dered. The semi annual election resulted as follews: President F. O. Weeks; vice-president W. L Crawford; chap lain, Bev. G. W. Graunis: secretary and treasurer, Mrs. Inez E. Parker; orgauist, Miss Katie Flavel. The report (as published iu yester days AsTOiiiAx) showed a satisfactory state ot affairs, financially and other wise. Fifty-two members were ad mitted during the last six months. A vole of thauks was tendered the re tiring officers, responded to by Dr. O. B. Estes. Will Soon Be Heady to Bore. Jake Arndt got a telegram from St Louis, Mo., -v esterday about the boring machine recently ordered. The exact kind required will need a little time to arrange, but it will be along inside of a mouth. It will cost about $1,100 and will bo complete. When received it will be started boring at J. C. Davis1 place, on John Day's, where the indi cations for coal are excellent Other parties in various parts of the country also aut wells bored, and the appar atus will doubtless be in active demand. Failed to Find McGinty. Friday evening Capt Denny Curran, of the steamer Occident, which was tied up alongside the state pilot schooner Qov. Moody, attempted to jump from the steamer to the schooner, but miscalculated the distance and went kerslap into the briny deep. He did not succeed in finding McGinty. as he came up immediately and climbed aboard the schooner, and at once went home to dry his clothes.

Precisely at 12 o'clock yesterday noon the large and elegant side-wheel steamer T. J. Potter arrived at the TJ. P. dock, having made the run from Portland in four hours and fifty minutes. Over six hundred passengers were on board, about one-fourth of whom came on shore, preferring to visit Astoria than go further down the river. The boat remained at the dock a few minutes, during which the band on board discoursed most excellent music, and then steamed away down the river on a visit to Fort Canby. After remaining there an hour or more, and giving the passengers an opportunity to visit the lighthouse, the steamer returned to this city, took on the balance of tho passengers, and after a stay of half an hour at the TJ. P. dock, started for Portland amid the cheers of the large number of people who had assembled to witness their departure, responded to by the excur sionists and the strains of music from their band. The excursion was under the aus pices of Grace M. E. Church, who chartered the steamer, and will clear about $300 on the trip. Befreshments were served on board, and all seemed happy. Among the party were Lieut Gov. Alfred Dickey, of North Dakota, F. L. Ames, ono of the directors of the Union Pacific, A. G. Barker, general agent of the Chicago and North Western B. B., David Velsor and Oliver Waite, prominent real estate men of Portland. A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH. The Sew Steamer "Ckilcat" in the Water. A good many fine steam craft are yearly built at Astoria. One of the finest and stanchest steamers ever built here has been for some time in process of construction at the foot of Lafayette street under the experienced supervision of Capt Mortensen. It is for Messrs. Murray and Morgan and goes to Alaska. Yesterday at noon, was tho hour and minute for launch ing. The blocks and wedges were knocked away from the ways, and with a start, a glide and then a rush the CJiilcat slipped rapidly and successfully into the water. The launch was in every way satisfactory. The machinery, which will bo put in by Arndt & Ferchen, is now at their establishment and will be soon placed. It is expected that Captain Carlson and Engineer Berg will be ready to make their trial trip in about three weeks. The Man ami the Bear. Ursa Major and Ursa Minor struck the town yesterday afternoon. One has four legs: the other two. Tho combination works well. The bear is said to be a cinnamon bear, thongh the boys say he 13 a Polar bear, as he shows such a fondness for climbing poles. Martin Olsen says the Polar Bear went to Alaska some time ago to be gone all summer. The bear ap pears to take a gloomy view of life. The man appears to be more cheerful. Just what species ho belong to is dif ficult to determine. He and the bear have a rough time of it like enough. They are at times very much attached to each other, but about the time the bear is going to down his antagonist and make meat of him, the two legged animal who is referee also, sings out "break away," and make3 Brain let go.
