THE CRAZES FOR CHEAPNESS.
There Is k sad tendency on the part
of the public to try to get something
for nothing. This craze Is very persistent,
although it Is bound to prove disastrous,
-Jboth to those -who try to get, and those
who seek to give, something for nothing
-when business is done on the smallest
margin of profit. Perhaps there Is some
excuse for the harassed trader, anxious
to win a place among the. serried ranks
of his eagor competitors to give way to
such a pulblic demand. We are constantly
hearing homilies on the iniquity of grasp
ing too big prints and iwe are told to con
sider mammoth traders who aro making
fortunes by "small profits and quick
returns." There is a great temptation for
ptrsons in business to ponder over these
freely preferred criticism; and ecolng
the public eagerness for "cheapness" to
go in for the "small profit" line of doing
business. But only too often this means
the paying of low wages, exacting long
hours of labor, and cutting down all out
goings as far as possible. The natural
remit Is, that the health and comfort
of the work people ouffer the proprietor
being unable to upend money In bringing
up his business premises to a state which
conduces to the physical and moral well
being of hie "hands." II himself Is In
danger of starving, morally and physic
ally, for lie finds his "small profits" In
sufficient to meet the natural require
ments of himself and family. And so
there Is an endless, grinding struggle,
breeding discontent and unhappiness
when It does not terminate In ruin In
volving Iobs to most poople who have
business connections with him. Ho has
been eaten out of house and home, and
practically robbed) wholesale thoso who
supply him, through his attempt to com
ply to the demands of the craze for
cheapness. Such men are often loudly
abused for their Inhumanity, because
they pay low wages, demand long hours
of labor, and do not provide a varloty
of smalt comforts for their work people.
But as a matter of fact, the charge of
Inhumanity rests with his patrons the
public, who demand cheapness. Looking
round about, one cannot help feeling that
this craze is beginning to re-act. The
public demands cheapness and they got
It. Often, however, they got Inferior ar
ticles or services, They encourage the
Importation of goods manufactured
abroad under conditions wlikti dUgraco
humanity. Again we h'avo many truders
In a smaH way, either going Into bank
ruptcy, which Involves considerable ag
gregate loss to the community, or retire,
and hoi'p to swell the already over
crowded army of wage earners. On the
other hand, those who remain In busi
ness, and endeavor to comply with the
Insane public demand, have to pay low
wages, and cut down their out-goings.
Consequently each Individual has less
money to circulate, and the Spending
power of the whole nation is lowered.
Meanwhile, as we have saldfl the public
cannot expeot to secure the highest class
or goods, or th best service at a "cheap
rate," so there Is a wave of taiwdrlnesa
and make shift. The fuct Is, we cannot
get away from the great truth, that "the
laborer Is worthy of his Wire. To unduly
cut down his "hire," Is to commit a
moral and economic wrong which cannot
but re-act on the wrong-doer. Thus we
come to the conclusion that to comply
with the demand tor something for noth
ing" (or very nearly so) Is foolish on tho
part of traders, and the demand on the
part of the public, and of Individuals
Is Inexcusable. In our exaggerated utili
tarianism we 'forget to look ahead; the
man who succeeds In knocking o'ff a six
pence here, or a shilling there, may
swell his bank account and wax fat,
nemesis must coma in somo form. The
screw applied, In no matter how dlstunt
apart, must be folt throughout organized
society sooner or later. One man's lo&s,
though for today It may be another man's
gain, Is In reality a permanent Iobs to
the community.
BOOSTERS SILENCED.
Another important step has bten taken
In the railroad .work. As wKl be seen by
tho advertisement In another column ot
this Issue, bldj aro nnked far tho con
fctruvtlon of the first ten ml'.ts of the
road east of Tongue Point, Ino'.uJIng the
tunnel, the construction Of the Young's
Hay bridge and the draw protection ot
the bridge. Six o'clock Saturday nlahf
Is the time act for all bids to be In ana
next week wl'.l undoubtedly see the com
mencement of the iwork on tho division
east of Tongue Point. The force of
men under Contractor Wattis Is being
nujrrnonted from time to time as the work
demands it, and the engineering corps Is
rapidly progressing on the survey.
A large amount of work wHl bo done
this wlntci1 on the railroad and without
doubt many strangers will bo In the city
and it would seem that now Is the time
for active measures to be taken by the
real estate men of Astoria for the for
mation of a permanent business orjani
zatlon to look after the proper and uni
form platting or property that will be
thrown upon the market, and for the
systematic and proper advertising of this
city and county. In another column Is
a call 'for a meeting of rea?- estate men
to be held Friday night, at which Mr.
Hammond and other prominent business
men will be present, to have a prelim
inary discussion of the objects to be
attained and the methods to be pursued
for their accomplishment. No doubt all
of tho real estate and property owners
will be represented and It 1 to be hoped
that the good work once started will be
pushed with energy.
The peculiar hallucination that leads
the editor of the Oregonlan to toik so
often and so persoverlngly Of a "twenty
five foot channel" to the sea, would be
amusing If it were not so pitiful. "The
only newspaper in the great Northwest
worth advertising In" (vldo advertisement
in Printer's Ink), every time It utters this
shameful He about tho depth of the Col
umbia's channel from this city to Port
land, not only shatters whatever reputa
tion, for truth it ever had, but Is using
its columns to promulgate a statement
whose sole object Is to steal from' the
national government a. large sum ot
money every year for the benefit of an
Inland town with pretentions to being a
"seaport." To talk about tho "Port Ot
Portland" is as ridiculous In lis way as
to speak of tho "Port of Denver," or the
"Port of Sacramento." In Sunday's As
torian wo published au absolutely truth
ful statement showing that no leas than
six large vessels, two of them steamers,
were hung up on various mudbanks right
in tho middle of this twenty-five foot
channel. Two weeks ago the Oregonlan
went into ccstuclcs ibecause a vessel
drawing 22 feet came down this 23-foot
channel ta Astoria, but omitted to men
tion that It took four days to make 'the
distance, and that the ship stuck on
sand bars seven limes on the way down.
While It is ead to think that this state
of a'ffalrs has all been brought about by
the actions of a crowd! of drunken and
Incompetent pilots who, according lo the
great Journal up the river, run vessels
ashoro as a common pastime presumably
for "fun," sensible people will turn with
disgust from this contemptll.e nttanpt
of tho Oregonlan to cover' up Its oft
reiterated untruths by casting a slur cn
a class of men whoso competency, so
briety and carefulness have never leen
called Into question by either th-lr- em
ployers, by ship captains, or by the pub
lic.
Fail fishing on rivers outside of the
Columbia opening Into the Pacific from
this state, and full fishing on thj Colum
bia itself are two ontlroly different prop
ositions. Fall fishing on the Neiialem,
the Slusiaw, TFliaimook, and the dozen
other points where it is carried on, is
the only fkihlng conducted there during
tho year. The salmon ore healthy, whole
somo fish, with Arm, hard flesh, and an
established! reputation among Baa tern
buyers who know their business, that
cannot well be shaken by any outside
opinion as to their excellent .qualities.
Nor Is It the desire of the Astorian to
cast any slur on the quality of the faM
fisth packed on these outnlde streams.
But fall fishing on the Columbia ts a
phase oif the Industry that opens up
plenty of opportunity for serious discus
sion. Spring caught Columbia; River salm
on, as all the world knows, Is the king
of a:.C food fish, and the Royal Chinook
id one of the greatest table delicacies
that It has ever been the lot of man to
enjoy. But In the fall the variety of
Ba'.mon that swims in tho Columbia Is,
as wo have said before, a product for
the iinost part totally unfit for human
food. And the worst part of It Is that
no matter whether the words ''fa'.l pack"
are pasted thick all over every can of
the abominable trash put up on the Col
umbia in the latter end of the year, tho
words "Columbia. River" are then) to.
This Is what the Astorian protests
against-the Incomprehensible folly of the
packers who continue to deliberately
joqpardizo the reputation of the spring
packed salmon, and who set theoselvoa
out to compromise the name of tho Col
umbia River In the mind of every man
who opens a can of this fall peeked
worthless commodity. Mr. M. J, Kin
ney, of the lAstorla Packing Co., Mr.
George and air. Barker, of the Kureka
and Kplcuro Packing Co., and Beveral
other canners have time after time in-
fomned the Astorian that the packing of
fa'.t saCmon on tho Columbia Is a prac
tice that shou'.d be discontinued for tho
sake of the Industry at large, and have
stated pul.lcly that In every way tho
custom hurts the reputation of every
cannoryman on tho river. This is the
general sentiment everywhere, and in
tho face of It no packer should daro to
continuo placing on the market an arti
cle that Is neither fish, flesh, nor good
red herring.

Astoria, August 31, 1S95.
Editor Astorian:
I was amused to see tha gushing letter
of repentence from ex-Sheriff H. A. Smith
to Ms friend, C. J. Trenhard, published
In tho Astorian of the 2th Inst.
His financial statement "looks well"
and It may be of some consolation to
his trusting creditors.
I tf.iould not have troubled your readers
with this communication had I not no
ticed this misleading clause in your edi
torial of the 20th: "The statement made
by LMr. Smith as to the condition of his
affairs Is probably correct," and the re
marks of two citizens I thought thould
know better that Smith's creditors would
come out all right. Why do the papers
or honest and intelligent men should
whitewash an ex-ofllclal who has not
only robbed the county, but Its many tax
payers, wh'o Way after day presented re
ceipts for taxes that he, Smith, has
afterwards advertised and sold to the
county, claiming In his bill the costs
and credit on the roll for the original
tax. I refer any who doubt this state
mant to Pat Gllmore, M. Fonrd and
County Clerk Dunbar.
In August, 1891, Smith presented to the
county court his first bill for over $13,
000. it was rejected. He then presented
another bill for $16,538, which was also
rejected, because the count was satisfied
that he was not entitled to it and could
not collect one-half of it. Smith brought
suit before Judire Meilrlda in the circuit
court, who referred the case to C. U.
Runyon to take testimony, and before the
testimony was more than half finished,
proposals were mado to the county court
to settle for $8,000, whlh it refised.
Flnair.y Smith offereld to accept $3,500, to
be ropald tho county from costs due
from delinquent taxpayers. Wishing to
relieve the numerous creditors of Smith
and believing the county's interests prop
erly guarded, the county court paid Smith
three $1,000 and one $."00 county warrants,
e'j that he could hand the warrants nt
once to bis creditors, and also $157.21 of
his fees that had been collected by the
county clork. I notifbd several of the
creditors that Smith had this money.
Smith agreed to collect aill the'dellnquent
costs due htm from the taxpayers. Let
Smith and his friends answer why he
sneaked off without paying his creditors
if he Wad $14,700, or the one-fifth part of
It duo him, Tho amount will depend
entirely upon what he gets out of the
delinquent taxpayers.
Ho has received from the county
as stated above in full of his
claim $3,957.21
Short errors and overcharges, ISO:!. 2.931.0S
Short trrors and ovsreharges, 1302
and 1S01, not included in settle
ment with former county court.. "55.12
$7,213. ti
This Matter amount the county wllC re
tnln from any money received. All re
ceipts that he has Issued while sherlft
on account of taxes, and afterward sold
the samo property, are charged up
against him by tho county clerk, and
amount to several hundred dollars.
Mr. Editor, I have takei up more ot
your space than I had Intended. I am
sorry that men whom Smith owed did
not got their money, but wish to Inform
those who stand around and sweir at
me for not paying them, I am not their
guardians. Very respectfully,
J, H. D. GRAY.

The objections urged against Indio

been a lack of Bultable accommoda

(From the San Francisco Argonaut.)
"In the heart of the great desert ot
the Colorado which the Southern Pa
eliU: ruad traverses there is an oasis
called Indio, which, In our opinion, it
the sanitarium of the earth. Wo be
lieve, from personal investigation, thai
for certain Invalids, the-e is no spot 01
this planet so favorable."
G. T. Stewart, M. D., writes,: "The
purity of tho air, and the eternal sun
shine, nil one with wonder and delight.
Nature has accomplished sc
much that there remains but little for
man to do. As to Its possibilities a a
health resort, here Is the most per

It Is the place, above all others, for

no hesitancy In recommending this
