China, by "we uns," over here on
the Pacific side. 1t is not con-
sistent on the part of those philan-
thropists to insist that a tax must
be maintained to keep out cheap
bibles, and yet the heather who
need them the most be encouraged
to come over here. But on the
other hand, the enterprising bible
manufacturers of this free and
glorious country should not be
forced to compete with the poorly
clad. half-starved bible makers of
the effete and crumbling monarch
les of the old world. Mr.. Pages
action could not have been in
spired by patriotism. nor have for
Its motive any religious zeal. Pa
ci6c coast politicians are not a
godly crew: they have never been
noted for their christian activity in
spreading the truth by means of
bibles of home manufacture among
benighted heathens, and it i'll be-
comes them to favor any such
horrible enterprise that must re-
suit disastrously to our monopoliz-
ing brethren of the East.
Another appalling consideration
is "Where will this thing end?"
The proposition to allow foreign
bibles to be brought into this
country without payment of du-
ties is probably an entering wedge
designed to split asunder our en-
tire protective system. Once
open the doors of our custom
house to British bibles, and we
open the gates to all sorts Of
reprehensible pranks. Some other
pious congressman will want TO
put Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Pro
gress," or Baxter's "Saint's Rest, "
or Jonathan Edwards sulphurOus
dictiou on the free list. Then a
demand Will be made to let in a
whole catalogue of moral and re-
ligious publications to the infinite
detriment and temporal ruin OF
our American manufacturers. II
is JesuiticJ: it is sinister: it is
conspiracy. Our manufacturing
interests are in danger. the
statement that bibles should be
cheap in order that more people
can own and read them is just lik,
the arguments that those ridicu-
lous fellows that advocate free
+ trade would advance. 1t is more
in sorrow than in anger we sd,
that Mr.. Page who so admirably
engineered the anti-chinese bill! il
the House, is now deserving o.
serious reproof. It's most mon
strous. Some rascally free trad.
! man has evidently poisoned tht
mind of our neighboring congress
man. Let us hope that Mr.
George shall not be simiiarl,
tainted. Fancy the fix we woult
be in were the telegraph to ar
nounce that the congressman frou
, Oregon was in favor of allowin.
free bibles brought over from
, England!

The Astoria Land Grant.

SINCE the meeting Of the two
political state conventions, we have.
noticed nothing in the state press
that would indicate that a grieyous
wrong was still being perpetrated
upon this community, and, with
the exception of some straight
forward resolutions adopted by
the Democratic county convention,
which met here on the 26th ult..
have seen no authoritative de-
nouncement of this fraud by any
public body. With the claims of
the Northern Pacific we have moth
ing to do. If the county in gen.
eral can stand it, all right; but
there is forfeited land grant in
this county that is direct bar, a
standing hindrance to the pros
perity Of Astoria, that should be
removed. 1t is a living, breathing
curse; it says to the man that
comes here to settle, "Stsnd back!
We have no title, it's true, but
we've got it so fixed that you can't
get any either" No man wants
to take too many chances, and,
though soil, climate, location are
all in his favor, he very naturally
says: Il can't afford to lose good
years in cuItivating and improving
land that / can get no clear title
to-" and he goes elsewhere. This
is happening right here in Astoria
every day. Men come into our
office that have been on this
land for years, and though they
hate to go, yet the dog-in-the-
manger policy is SO successful that
they are virtually forced. The
beautiful argument has been used
with us: "Well, if they don't like
it, why do they come here?" Shame
on a corrupt system of Legislation
that invites men 10 come, and
promises them government land
and then, by some hocus-pocus ot
legislation, permits monopoly to
hold It by a shadowy title that i:
only powerful by reason of it
vagueness! the present state o
affairs is either right Or wrong. L
it be right to hold great tract @
country by virtue of grant tha
was long since forfeited; if it b.
right to discourage immigration
and keep would-be settlers off sucl
a fair portion Of our national do
main; if it be right TO subvert al
the principles of republic anC
rear plutocracy in this country
then it is right to steal by retail al
we'll as by wholesale, to cut tn,
throat Of the midnight victim an,
fling his body to the outgoing tide
rob him of his property and tax,
his life.
We hear nothing about this from
any quarter. With the one ex
ception we have noted, both par
ties seem willing that the dea'
steered by the dumb shall go up
ward with the food. The mo
mentous question Of who shalt b
able to dole ont the political pal
for the next four years is Of over
sbadowing Importance. Ii make
all the difference in the world VII
is to govern, at the maguifcen
annual salary Of $1,000, but it
not OF the slightest consequence
whether the plighted faith of tn
national government itself shall b
broken at the bidding Of set {
spectators whose desire to grab
only limited by their ability to re
tain.
