Blaine on Trusts Again.

Mr.. Blaine made another speech on
trusts. He has been looking about for
some way of crawling out of the hole
in which he put himself and the party
he commands by his recent bad break
on trusts and he thought he had found
it. In his previous speech he declined
to say whether trusts were advanta-
geous or Instantaneous to a coun-
try. He was, however, positive in his
opinion that they were 'largely pri-
vate affairs with which neither
President Cleveland nor any individual
had any right to interfere. Now he
insists that Congress has no right to
NEEDLE with them and that trusts are
not National but State issues" The
object of this is to create the impress
sion that trusts can not be reached by
tariff legislation and he says that they
have no connection with the tariff. It
will take a more able man than Mr..
Blaine, and he has great ability in
making things appear other than they
really are. to convince people of that
in the face of palpable evidence. But
IL trusts are largely private affairs"
with which people have mo right to
interfere as Mr.. Blaine at first as
serted, how can they be State issues
any more than a National issue? Mr.
Blaine has shifted his ground but has
not bettered it He still stands as the
defender of trusts.-Cqereland Plain

POOR OLO SPAIN.
A Once Prosperous Country Ruined by q,
Unholy Tarin System.

A Once Prosperous Country Ruined by an
Unholy Tariff System.
Poor old Spain has an Industrial
system of which the system of the
United States is almost an exact
counterpart. Spain has a tariff sys-
tenn which, in taxing raw materials
and almost every thing else that COM
merce carries to her gates, is the very
ideal of the protectionists of this
country. An atrocious protective pol
icy, mitigated only by the enterprise
and daring Of the smuggler, has in
three hundred years reduced highly
gifted nation, which was once In the
van of Europe in the arts and manu-
features, to the condition which the
world witnesses to-day. The Spanish
industrial system has been in full
operation in this country for only a
quarter of a century. and in twice that
time even more baleful policy than
that which Mr.. Blaine advocates could
not overcome the great natural,
political and social advantages of the
American people and their superior
energy, intelligence and enterprise.
But, as surely as history is philosophy
teaching by example, so surely will
this Industrial system, il persisted in,
produce the same fatal results that
other nations almost as highly en-
dowed have experienced. The liberal
statesmen of Spain are endeavoring TO
abate the mischiefs of her protective
policy, and it is the earnest hope of

hypocriticaf plea to the working-men

hypocriticaf plea to the working-m men
with amazement.
= is true, working-men. that capital
does not need protection. but the tariff
protects capital at your expense and
the expense of the farmer.
That is why the great manufacturers,
that is why Mr.. Blaine, Carnegie's
friend and his companion on his
coaching tour, are bending all their
energies to UNFOLDING the war tariff.
The working-raen above all others
are interested in the reform of the
tariff.
Labor is on the free list; five hun
dred thousand laborers are coming in
every year without let or hindrance.
That is why your strikes fail; that is
why the manufacturers of Philadelphia
will contribute one huHdred thousand
dollars to sustain the tariff.

an Able Answer to Blaine's Grand1oquent
Protection Speeches.
In one OF his addresses in New York
Mr.. Blaine said:
There is no need to make any laws to pro-
Hect capital. Capital always takes care Of it
seli, ana gets full share, but there are laws
maj can elevate the laboring man. and there
are laws that can degrade m. and the Repub-

VINO created the wealth in the country, and
VINO are therefore entitled to the patronage
and protection Of the Government"
Capital always takes care of itself,
and in this great conflict Mr.. Blaine
Is retained by the capitalist.
Capital always gets its full share;
Mr.. Carnegie could have told Mr..
Blaine that capital gets more than its
full share.

TARIFF INEQUALITIES.

Rank DiscrImination Against the Poor
and in Favor eof the Rich.
The Republican party promised In
its National Rlatform of 1884 to '.cCr-

instead of redeeming this promise or
taking any step looking that way. it
has offered every possible resistance to
every attempt made in Congress to
correct those inequalities. Now, what
are the inequalities Of the tariffa We
think that most people win agree
that duties of more than 100 per cent
are cases of inequality. seeing that
come other duties are as low as 10 per

The high tariff is a precious thing
in the sight of the monopolist, but
plain. common people. since they find
what an expensive luxury it is. are not
so fond of it. When they look at the
tariff schedule they find that it costs
them many a dollar in the common
necessaries of life.

STORY OF TIE CATION"
Providential Escape Of The Crew in Two
Ships Boats.

In conversation yesterday with
Capt. Gilmour of the ASsel, he gave
US some particulars OF the loss of the
bark Alton then under his command,
which in many points perhaps has
never been parallelled.
In March. last year, in dense fog,
the A fton bound for San Diego, Cal,
struck on a coral reef off the island OF
Lisianski, about 800 miles west of
Honolulu, 8. 1. The ship foased off
the reef, but in such leaky condi-
ton it became necessary to abandon
her. The ships company all told,
numbered nineteen. They took the
two best boats, and with the captain
in charge of one and the mate the
other, they left the ship to her fate.
The wind not favoring their course
to Honolulu, they were compelled to
take the trade winds in the opposite
direction. For 20 days they sailed
on and on, and strange to relate, dur
ing all this time they made 5000
miles, the two boats never parting
company till they both landed at
Guam, one of the Ladrone islands.
About three weeks after leaving the
vessel, the mate. standing up to take
off his coat, by a sudden lurch of the
boat fell overheard, he sank and was
never seen to rise to the surface.
The shlpwrecked mariner suffered
greatly from thirst in this tropical
climate, and for some time before
reaching land, their allowance was
reduced to a pint of water day each.
Each boat had been supplied with
three bags Of hard bread, and by ju-
dicious management lasted them till
they landed.

How Men Die,

II we know all the methods OF ap-
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such An extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of a Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Luugs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, q

thousands say of it to be; the "bene.

THANKSGIVING Service To-day at Tho
Presbyterian Church.


By mutual arrangement among sew
eral Of the pastors Of the churches in
this city, Thanksgiving service will
be held at eleven O'Clock this morn
ing, in the Presbyterian church.
Rev. A. LeRoy, the eloquent pastor
of the Baptist church, has been Be-
lected to preach the Thanksgiving
sermon. It has been customary ut
this annual service to take up col
lection for some benevolent purpose;
on this occasion it will be donated to
the Astoria Young Mems Christian
Association. and will be worthily be-
slowed, as all the work of this associ-
alton OF young men, is benevolent
work. Its comfortable reading room,
well equipped gymnasium, organized
classes for useful instruction, and
other commepdatory features; all
cost money to support, and are all
open to young men, at their extreme
minimum cost, and in addition calls
for temporary financial assistance
from worthy young men seeking en-
ployment, is OF common occurrence,
the society therefore, is eminently
deserving Of pecuniary support from
this community.
To add to the interest of the, exer-
cises in the Presbyterian church to-
day, Mr.. N. II. Jacks, q young gentle
man especially identified with Y. NJ.
G. A. work, who arrived in this city
yesterday, an d who is the recognized

The Mountain Queen had diff
cult time on her down trip Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning. Ac-
cording to some accounts the fog was
so dense that she ran into it three
times till she stuck, and then had to
back ont, but the fourth time she was
not go fortunate, as she stuck hard
and fast. One of the hands who was
trying to push her back with pole,
said she was stuck in the fog, but the
leadsman proved she was aground that
time, because his lead line had tan
gled in the brush. The passengers
said such a putting, and blowing and
snortInR and whistling, and shaking
and rattling they never heard before.
But it was OF no use until the fog lifted
and the Bonita came along, doubled
teams with them, and helped them off.
