In another column Mils' morning will be noticed ain Interview with Mr. Sofue Jen sen, in which he deals at some length with the question Of fail Ashing. This Interview was held on Thursday, but the subjects It touched on opened up so much matter for consideration that ' it was thought wise to defer its publication for a day In order to enable us to fully weltfh all the suggestions made.- In ad dition to Mr. Jensen's ideas on the sub ject, the Astorian has been flavored with the opinions of a number of prominent packers, several of whom including Messrs. M. J. Kinney and J. O. Hanthorn have visited this office to confer con cerning the matter. If we correctly un derstand these gentlemen they all agree as to the evil effects of fall fishing upon the sale of spring salmon, but there is a. difference of opinion among them as weH as between them and ourselves as to the proper remedy. The result of these conferences, however, leads us to be- Vleve that some plan may be devised by which the desired end can be accom plished without the necessity of resorting to the extreme measures outlined in for mer articles In this paper. With the hope that something might come of this general Interest created and excited by the Astorian, and feed ing that the cannerymen and fishermen themselves may arrive at some satisfac tory solution of the trouble, and be M'Ke to harmonize the ' conlllctlng in terests Involved in the discussion, we have deemed It politic to defer fur ther aggressive action on our own part until such time as It shall be apparent that negotiations now In' progress fall to effect the desired purpose. The Astorian feels particularly grat- illed to think that Its careful and tonscl entlous labors on behalf of the best in terests of Astoria, and the sal-non Indus try have been the cause of arousing tiit attention of the parties most in terested, to the Importance of prompt and effective tuition. The cessation oi the agitation on our part, it must he understood, is onCy temporary, and our present attitude is simply taken with a view, of affording time for further and more deliberate consideration, CHEAPNESS VS. EXCELLENCE. The workings of the Gorman tariff show in an unmistakable manner that cheapness and free trade are as firm allies as are protection mid excellence. Taking the case of free wool, an Investi gation of any market In the United States will show that the quality of the woolen goods now being offered for vale throughout the country is vastly inferior to the quality and finish of the goods that were sold here a' few years ago. The foreign manufacturers of woolwi goods have determined to secure as much ot our trade as they possibly con under the lower tariff now In existence. What they cannot get by the undervaluation fraud they will get by fraud in the ad mixture of the component parts of the goods. Articles that they offer to well us as being made of all wool are either part wool and part shoddy, or ull shoddy. There ki no disgrace in wearing gar ments that are made ot shoddy, only let them be sold as shoddy. 'Everybody un derstands, of course, that they will not wear as long as goods made of pure wool and nobody expects that they will; they cost let. But when wages ore lower thun their former high' level, and when the number of earner is less than It used to be, the question of a few dollars forms a considerable factor In the cost of a purchase of woolen goods. The shoddy srtlcfe can be furnished for the smaller outlay and the buyer will often console himself with the fact that he may be able to afford better material later on when times have Improved. Thus It In that shoddy garment sre at present regulat ing value for all our woolens. In order to meet this competition the American manufacturers have. In some Instances, attempted to supply the market with goods made from shoddy In this country, though the shoddy Itself may all, or a part, have been Imported. In tills way the demand for pure wool Is curtailed, and the sheep farmer suffers. It Is not only In ths case of wool-m goo&s that the consanguinity of cheap ness and free trade Is so noticeable. It nar.ds stamped on almost every article made In a free trade country, where the value of labor I degraded to the lowest competing point. Wat-re a market fan not be secured, or a margin of profit gained, by suueciing additional blood money out of the unfortunate free trade labor. It Is dons by deteriorating the quality of the goods manufactured. This has been particularly noticeable during recent years In the construction of Eng lish tm'h!ps, those ordinary freight (.,..),., iK-.t ' our free traders wore to anxious tht we should purchase under a fi-ee tOlp bill, and which the foreign shipbuilders and foreign nhll owners wers, on their part, equally anxious to sell us. For stability, sound material, careful workmanship and excellence ct finish, the American steamship today stands second to none In the world. Good wages mean good work: cheap wages mean cheap work. Free trade means cheap wages and cheap goods; protection means good wages and the best of goods. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Tracy says he can scarcely believe the report that the United States battleship Indiana muat go to Nova Scotia to be docked, as the government has no docks large enough to receive it. He says that the construction of docks for our big bat tleships was begun while hi was secreta ry, and ' he does not understand why they have not been finished. It Is mor tifying to be obliged to send the Indiana to Nova Scotia, but If the ex-secretary would put this and thai together he would remember that the Cleveland ad ministration Is principally noted for not doing what ought to be done, and that if the late Democratic congress could have had 'its own way it would not i,n!y have had no docks but no battleships either. It Is strange that none of the surviving officers of the Union army were among the speakers at the Chloamauka Park dedication. Is it possible that they were not invited by the administration? It was en occasion when such men a ex Presldent Harrison, R. O. Ingersoll and others Would have shown to advantage. The speeches were all good ones, and brimful of patriotIm, but it seems a little odd that a demonstration of that kind shiioM be presided over by Vice-President Stevenson, who was ai copper-head dur ing the war, and that all the other speakers, except General Palmer, who .would have been court-martlaHed for de sertion if he had been a private soldier, should have been ex-Coirfedenalte veter ans. There is a general complaint from pa rents that the building occuplad by Miss Warren's school, on Exchange Street, Is totally unadopted for school purposes. The locality Is considered unheaUhful1, and the surroundings of the school are very -dangerous. It would seem that the ichool directors can certainly find a bet ter location for this large and growing school in some other convenient section of the city. J-i-'X.J-l J'-IH J The closing days of the exposition at Portland will be devoted to a chrysan themum show, for which liberal premi ums ore offered The show will be under the management of the Oregon Flower Association, which held such a successful roce show last June. There are prizes for both amateurs and professionals, and entries are Invited from growers of flow ers everywhore. The future of the hop industry, despite present depressing conditions, is bright and premising. The return of the Re publican party to control In the national legislation Is an assurance that the In dustry will bo given needed protection, and the home market preserved for eur own goods. One of the things the reading public has to stand along with the yacht races Is 'the quarrel of the Now York newspapers as to which first dhronlclej the fact that the Defender's spreader and topmast were broken. Acting 1'Obtmastar General Jones has made an Important decision defining ob noxious mall matter. Any ruling on ob noxious male matter which does not in clude the cigarette fiend is Incomplete. ADAMS' TARIFF LESSON. Industry Is the true gauge of prosper ity. Whenever i;nd wherever Industry is depressed and the wages of worklngmen are Tow, then and there Is found stagna tion .t business Interests, commercial dl trust, and a hesitating, uncertain market. With strong confidence, good waxes and the home market demand for Its pro duct, Industry hums fromi morning until night and happiness surrounds the llre eldcs of tolling men. This wo have learned from the lessons of the mills of Adanm. The happy homes of the work IrR'men and the ceaseless opportunities ct labor have taught us, In comparison with unhappy homes ond depressed Industries rnore political economy Kian salaried irofesons can Instil In neatly elaborated Impractical theory, and still we -have another Iftwon right here at home. AVftvn the McKlnley bill Increased the tariff on fine cotton lawns, the Uerk hlre Coition Manufacturing company of this town was Institute,! with a capltaC stock of JWO.0O0. It built Its flr.it mill, vnd, beeauj but little machinery for the manufacture of fine cottons could be pro cured in this country, the mechanics-, '.ulflt of mill No. 1 was bought abroad. The result was that hundreds of thous ands of American money want Into Eng lishmen's pockets and we received their machinery. As the McKlnley bill grew older,, pro tecting the manufacture of fine lawns, the local mills, with others located In different parts of the country, besan to force our English-made goods of this clues, and, with an Increased demand 'or American cottons there came a de--miml for machinery to make that class 3f poo.M, resulting In the manufacture if American machinery for fine cottons. The local company prospered and decided to Increase lu plant to the value ot 11,000.000 by the addition of a mill similar to the first, and thus It was that, when Berkshire Mill No. i was built, nearly Vt of the mechanical equipment was tmJo In America, and the cash for the same went Into 'American pockets. lp he Instance of the first mi l, we secured English -machinery and England secured mwlcnn money, in the second Instance America produced ths machinery and still retained the money. This was the result of McKlnelylsm. Not only did the .high protective tariff enable the manufacture hers of fine awns. In the Mce of English competition, Sut Si'so enahled the construction ot merlcan machinery for ths production of those grades of cotton. It was a trl un:vh for American labor over foreign competition in the home market, and it was Indeed fitting that -the dlctatory speech at mill No. I -was delivered by Governor McKlnley of Ohio. Ail that was pleasing to the people ot Kdama, and pleasing as well to every wn Interested In line cottons and Ma chinery fop manufacturing ths same. Then came change. With ths erratic tidal wave.-which swept the Republican -virty from power, came business distrust nrxl deprerAlon, and finally ths fatherless tariff bill became a law without the signa ture of the president. Lu-'kily for Adams, m'.y i-art of our Industrie wers hard lit by the tariff bill, that of gtmraara c.r.e receiving a set back from the de moralisation of tariff schedule though depression humbled all Industries for the time being. When the market again be came animated, due to the assurance of returning Republican term One oottotis once mors took their place, though! ths protective duty on machinery for ths manufacture of the same had been re duced 22 per cent. This reduction, how ever, did not sffect Adams, and wages wero restored. The Berki'Mre -Cotton Manufacturing company recently decided to double their plant by the erection of a mammoth mill at a cot of a million dollars. Immedi ately on receipt of the intelligence, mill men In dlflerent porta of the country sought to place the mechanical equip ment, and representatives of English firm? also made overtures for the placing of the machinery, with the result that the present tariff so handicaps the Amer ican "manufacturer of mechanism for the production of cotton of the finer grades that John Hethertngton & Sons of Man chester, England, wlC-V supp.y the new million-dollar mill with upwards of $300,000 worth of machinery. This Is the result of the 22 po- eent reduction In the Mc Klr.Oey rate whijl't protected the machine manufacturers. Onto again wilC England secure American money while we receive her) machinery. McKlnleylsmi was the production of mills and machinery at home, a saving of American money; Democracy la but a division of the bene fits of the home market with the for eigner. The lesson Is clearly demonstrated by the Berkh!re -mills of Adams, and while we rejoice that a vestige of protection enablea us to gain a magnificent addition to the present plant of the Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing company, we re gret that the machine manufacturers ot thiis country could not share with us the benefits of home market for home In dustry. The 'Adama 'Freeman, Adams, Mass. SILVER IN TEXAS. Philadelphia Times. Senator Alills' emphatic declaration against the free coinage of silver has more than common significance. On the surface U might be taken as an Indica tion that the silver craze has spent its force In the south and that the Texas senator has adapted his opinions to the current. Mills is not that kind of man. There Is nothing of the demagogue about him. Ho Is a man of sturdy Intellectual honesty and fearless In maintaining his convictions, and If his attitude on any public question changes, it Is because changed conditions have altered his opin ion. A few years ago "bimetallism" was still1 a tenable theory, and it was possible for an honest man to think that the ad mission of silver to the mints of the United States would suffice to check Its depreciation. This was the basis of the experiments made by congress, In the Bland and Sherman acts. Their disas trous results proved the fallacy of the theory, but no moral delinquency was proved against those who had favored these experiments. It is only those who persist In maintaining an exploded theory In the ftce of facts that deserve condem nation, Senator Mills is not one of these. Like many other public men, he was disposed to favor Cegls'.'atlon In the supposed inter est of silver until experience convinced him that he -w-a9 wrong. So convinced, he has the manliness to declare his con victions boldly and to present the rea sons for them wWh a clearness and force that show them to hi the.Tesult of delib erate thought and not of mere political expediency. The very fact that Senator Mills has not been hitherto regarded as a special champion of sound money must give added weight to Wis letter to the Democratic state committee or Texas. Like Secretary Carlisle's speeches In Kentucky, It will put the truth before the people of that state in a manner to command their thoughtful attention, and honest thought is all that Is needed anywhere to end the silver craze hnd bring the people to the eupport of honest money. RED CLOVER. Do you know how the clover goes to bed. My dear little lads and lasses? She folds up her hands and bows down her head, To the song of the rustling grasses. I When a four-ieafed clover happens that way, She puts her two heads together. And sweetly they sleep, those bright clo vers gay, In all kinds of wind and weather. 1 If some little Brownie whispers to me, 'Come, let's have a waltz, my ttear C lover." She blushes deep red; with a ripple of fun, She answers, "My dancing Is over." So, happy they sleep, red blossoms and white, li-eil daisies: They open their eyes at enrly i.iyltuht, Ami sing out imiir iii'mi i 'Tls winter time now, sweet Clover sleeps sound, k . n,kl,A 4.1 antra ftV.ir her. i WIUWBIIIIP um.inv, - - .
