As It is with a thorough going, active, successful business man, so it is witli an en terprising, progressive city. Each watches with keen vigilance to take the flood-tide that leads on to growth and wealth. These opportunities present themselves alike to Individuals and communities. They are Often not taken advantage of by cities and towns as too many persons are too apt to think that others, and not they, are the ones who should look after these public Inter ests, and what is every one's business soon becomes no one's business, and thus gold en opportunities laden with vast benefits are allowed to pass unheeded, often never to return. Albany to-day is presented with one of these opportunities, and yet herciti izens apparently with one accord are lying supienely upon their backs hugging the de lusive phantom of hope, until others less favored, but with more energy, enterprise and pluck are likely to step in and reap the benefits so invitingly held out to us. We refer to the projected enterprise of con structing a railroad from Albany to tide water at Astoria. It would require pro phetic vision to see and comprehend the vast benefits Albany would receive in the next decade following the construction of this road. Without underestimating or de crying the benefits accruing to Albany from the construction of theO. & C. R. R, or the O.P.R. R. we hesitate not to say that the immediate results following the build ing of the proposed road to Astoria would be far more important to Albany than the building of either of the former roads. The new proposed road would give us another outlet to tide-water where the fruit age of the rich harvest fields of Linn and other valley counties could be loaded in sail vessels bound at once for Liverpoo and thus save the expense of reshipmen' at San Francisco which is low necessary. The dangers of obstructed navigation on the Columbia river and the heavy expense of towage would be avoided in shipping to and from Albany. In addition to all this H would secure to Albany that safe, per manent and healthy competition in trans portation facilities so essential to the fut ure, rapid growth of the city. It would not be Albany alone that would be the re cepient of the benefits of the building of the road. The farmers of Linn county yvould receive the greatest share of the benefits of the road. It would be their grain that would find this additional out let to the sea. By this route, if cheaper and better than others, their supplies might come from San Francisco and the east. And, now then, what do the farmers of Linn county and the citizens cf Albany propose to do in the premises? Will they take action, or wait until it is taken by other points? It is an opportunity that should not be lost sight of. Let every man talk of it and discuss it with his neighbor. There is no time for delay. Act, act in the living present. Who but this plumed knight.obliviousof the multitude, could ride intrepidly against the Grangers as Blaine did in closing his Indianapolis speech? "Why did your wheat fall ?" Because you have to meet, in the niarketsof Europe, the wheat of Russia which is raised in that vast country by lab or that is paid not more than eight cents per day per man. Fatal admission Mr. Blaine. Every high school boy is striving to understand why the farmer, selling his wheat at the world's price, should not de sire to buy his goods at the world's price also. If protection make goods cheap,why are goods twice a high in America as in Europe, while the farmer's product must sell in competition with vast Russia? The Orcgonian keeps standing In Its col umns daily the evidences of its own de pravlty In the shape of a mutilated and misquoted resolution from the democratic platform of 1SS6. In order to detract at tention from Its own cowardly desertion of the principles which the conscience of its editor once so hcartly approved, it at tempts by falsehood and misrepresentation to discredit the position of the democratic party on the tariff question. Its efforts are proving a miserable failure. The Democratic heads f families in In diana are naturally Indignant that Mr Blaine should claim the growth in popula tion at the West as due to the Republican war tariff, They say that the population might have been greater if the babies were not taxed from the cradle to the grave. The idea that a people can be enriched by heavy and unnecessary taxation, that a man's condition can be improved by taxing him on all he wears, on all his children wear.on all his tools and implements of In' dustry.ls an obvious absurdity. Thurman's Letter of Acceptance. Now, here is something In the St. Louis Post Dispatch which Mr. Blaine or Butter worth really out ta take notice of: ''.Some clever little dicky bird should be able to tell why it is that two Southern products have to bear nearly all of the tariff reduc tion in the Republican Tariff bill, when the North has made a thousand dollars where the South has made one dollar out of the tariff." From our Eastern Oregon exchanges we learn that Mr Bilyen's meetings are largely attended and that his arguments in favor of tariff reform and good economical government for the people are unanswer. able. National Surgical Institute. Two or more surgeons representing this institute will be at the Revere House, Albany,Nov. 6th, at the St. Charles Hotel, Lebanon, Noy, 7th, 1SS8. They came fully prepared with all the apparatus necessary for the successful treatment of their specialties, curvature of the spine, diseases of the hip and knee joint, crooked limbs, club feet and all bodily deformities. Their success in treating these troubles as well as all chronic and sexual diseases has made for the institute a national reputation.
