In another column of the Astorian this morning will be found a reprinted arti cle from the Herald of Trade, the largest trade weekly on the coast, touching- on the fall salmon question, and speaking of our course with reference to that sub ject. This Is ono of a dozen comments m..de since the Cast article on this mat' ter appeared In the Astorian, and the language of a'.l li Just n.i emphatic and Just as plain. The fall ifbvhlng evil la something that will not down. It can neither be hushed up nor killed, and the sooner the cannors recognize this fact and take steps to purify their business to the extent of restricting or abolishing tho fall industry on this river, the better It will be for them. Wo lhave waited patiently for some diaya ito see whether there vat any thing real in tttieir protestations and promise called forth so abundantly last week when the scare had penetrated deep enough to be felt, but up to the present they 'have s-hown no signs of getting to gether or of doing anything to make good their "intentions." Whether this Is because Dhey have lapsed back Into apathy, or tave Imagined that they have accomplished their ends by shutting oft furtiher criticism, we are of course in no position to know. Nor do we. particular ly wWh to know. All that is apparent Is the fact that the matter Is being Ignored once More and treated as a dead issue. But if the packers entertain for a mo ment the liope that the Astorian has been "muxzled" by their professions ot reformation, they ore very greatly mis taken. The trade papers of the country continue to pre their demands . for "names," and In view of the Indifference, real or affected, of the canners we feel disposed to give 'the names they ask for without nny further delay. Nobody doubts the fact that It Is a hard matter to get these men to pull together on any proposition under the sun. Many ot them are too sordid and seJltfh to take up common cause for the accomplish ment of any reform whatever. But we cannot help thinking that when two of tt most prominent men among them take the trouble to come a hundred miles to blackguard tho Astorian for Its stand on this question, they could be spending their time, money and eloquence on un object that would bring far more satls- factory returns. ' Tho Astorian is making a hail tight against this full fishing abomination, No body knows" as wo'.t as wo do how hard this light really Is. Hut 1t Is a Just fight ana we have on our tCde the fu'.-l strength of the sentiment that demands honest and clean fuod products or none at all Nobody can say that tho packers have not hi en dealt with In a fair and liberal spirit In this matter. They have had ampl rinie to net and they prefer to wssts UoU time In senseless abuse and attempt alter attempt to stavo off trou ble. Horns of them have conducted persistent scheme of vilification against I ho Astorian not only in som-5 disreputa ble sheets of this clly. but abroad. They have adgnally' failt-d In their purpose, however, urni from every quarter throughout the corn try rom words ot praise and encouragement for our out spoken efforts to ritfhft a grlwous wrong. It Is time tWt the packers heeded the advice of a few sensible and fair-minded ojerstors among tbwio and began to act like men slid Dot like Infant. We are Killing very tired of their protfiUrs. merchants of New Orleans are beginning to TeaUze tho fact that other ports along th Gulf and Boulheast Atlantic seaboard have recently taken steps to extend a free use of their wharves to steamships, and are maturing p'ans for deeper har boia and improve) facilities. Th.' Wnairves at New - Orleans ure held by Icon consuls, compared with' the Imports for the same quarter in 1891, are likely to open the eyes of the peoplo as no amount of argument would ever have done. What do they show? Simply that the pretense of tho Democratic tariff re formers, us they delight to call them selves, that they were legislating in the Interests of the poor man, or the laboring Ceusees. and It Is a question whether it mas.' of t no country, ot tne oppressed ' . .. - i farmer and all that, was merely a delusion mife.it not be too .u'te If tne movement- a Bnare Tf nyone w, tako the Is delayed tl.l the expiration of the lease, trouble to examine tho statistics of Im- -ix years hence. On the other- hand it is a question where the funds could be obtained Ho buy u.p the leases, as it Is claimed the levy of a special- tax woula not ibe legal, and uhat the clly council could not I'a'wfully donate the money out of any unexpended balance. But it is beJ.eved the dlificul.y will be overcome in some way, as tne merchants are prac tically unanimous In holding that a per mont lowering of tho port charges Is an imperative necessity .To allow the present waten- works muJd'.e to continue will be to Inflict In Jury both to the financial credit of As toria and the malterlal interests of her citizens. An Injury to the city because the impression, however little deserved, will go abroad that the affairs of the city are administered by a set of In competent officials, and an injury to the Interests of tax-payers and citizens be cause the stoppage of the work will not only delay tlho completion of the much-ncc-ded new system, but will necessarily Involve additional expense over and above the Pacific 'Pairing Company's contract price by at least the amount of court costs and attorneys' fees required to en force the conditions of the obligation signed by the paving company's sureties. It will therefore be a very prudent and a satisfactory solution to all concerned in tho difficulty If the plan resolved on by the commission can bo carried out. Thure seems to be no room for doubt that the relinquishment of the ten per cent re served fund will place at the disposal o the contractors all tho money needed to pay the claims now due. And It is cer tainly to the Interest of the bondsmen Who stand behind the contractors to waive their rights in the reserve fund rather t'hian incur the responsibility for the completion of the work at tho re mainder ot the contract price agreed upon by the Pacific Paving Company. ports under the new schedules he will find that wherever there has been an Increase of Imports It has been of articles of luxury which have been cheapened by the reduced tariff. But he will look In vain for any Indication of an Increase In the Imports of these staples, which are consumed by the masses. Take, for Instance, the statement In the publication made by the bureau of sta tistics Just mentioned, that the Imports from France for the quarter show on Increase of M,H,768. These figures' are 3 striking, it Is said, as to cause com- ment, anil the buivi'i therefore goes into details. It Is found mat tne imports are chiefly from the Paris consular districts. Many of the Items are then given, with the total value of the invoices. There ere merinos, cashmeres and miscellaneous dreus goods; silk manufactures, laces, veils, crepes and embroideries; feathers and floer3, arMlclal and for millinery; gloves; wines, china and glassware; Jewelry and precious stones; buttons and trimmings. The total of these Imports from France for the quarter amounts to J17.674.ra7, an Increase over the cor responding quarter of lost year , as already said, of 16,425,768. So far from such an Increase' In the imports of the kind enumerated being a benefit to the masses of . the people, it could be shown that in most Instances it has resulted in crippling similar produc tive industries nt home. And in whose interest? The question answers Itself. The rich those who have Incomes to spend for luxuries ara alone benefited. In a word, tho tendency of the new tariff Is to undermine and destroy home manj facutres and to cheapen luxuries. The mechanics and handicraftsmen who are thrown out of work and the poor are left to take care of themselves. I ; , V:"-. v ffg0MSA THE IiATEST STYliES ES AND O K n, ..bi'iui "" " JUST IN! Our Fall.

DECEPTIVE JOURNALISM. Salt Lake Tribune. How brave It Is for a contemporary to cite the fact that tho panic of '93 came under the 'McKlnley law, trying to carry the Inference, of course, that it was the McKlnley Jaw that produced It. That is simply dishonest Journalism, Intended to deceive its readers. This country wna exceedingly prosper ous until the day before that panic came, ayd It came directly from across tho seu. u came from the breatt'lng of a Urltl&h bubblo away off In Argentine, which smashed the second greatest banking house In the world, and -which made the authorities of Ensland fear not only the suspenulon of specie payments by the Bank of England, but the removal from London of the commercial capital, of the world. In that awful emergency -England had to unload her securities to get money at once. American securities be ing worth wore than any others, he dumped l,2O0,00O,000 -worth of them upon this country. The effect was instant par alysis in business from sea to sea. Again this name paper proceeds to say thut the troublia which came In '83 came undir the llcliinley law, and while that !s true In foot. It was Intended as a deception, because tho troubles of that year had no more to do with tho McKlnley Juri'it than they bd with the, m li n and (edition laws. In 1SII1! the Democrats elected a president and both houses of congress, and tliey promlsej in their platform a tariff simply for revenue. They declared for raw material and for mighty reduc tions all along the lino of tho tariff. Of course, c soon ns the results of the election were known manufacture had to begin to e"ose down their works, he causo It would have been utter bank ruptcy to have bought material and man ufactured heavy stocks with the certain prospect of tho change that had been promised. Then England had another crash In Australia, every bank closing, ' and once more American securities were j dumped upon us without mercy, and fin- ally tho national bankers started the cry I that the silver clause of the Sherman itiw ! Shoul'Ji lift renenliwl. At Ihn snma .h.t.a v. ! Tlie East Oregonlan rises to remark; "It doesn't take much to make a man celebrated nowadays. Capt. Hank Haft who sailed the 'Defender Is being lag.led to the sky, and one paper says he is by all odJs the cleverest steersman the world has ever seen. What Is the matter with Columbus. He steered to an unknown continent In an old tub of a boat. What did Hank Haft ever s'teer to that did the world any good." A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE. D. W. Fuller, of Canajohurle, N.

Dyke man, Druggist, Catsklll, N.

I.

O.d miners who were present at the trial are sanguine over the results and one who has Jong been a miner on the beach Is reported to have said that the test is far beyond anything he ever Imagined.
