The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1894-02-23

A correspondent of the New York
Herald sums up the offensive features
Of the income tax provision OF the Will
son bill as follows; "The bill declares
that there shall be levied and collected
a tax on all dividends payable to stock
holders or depositors in savings institu-
tlons. as well as on all sums paid as
interest by corporations or associations
on their debts, whether the said sums
shall be due to citizens or nonresident
aliens. The corporations and companies
are required, under heavy penalties. to
declare to the tax gatherer the sums
annually payable to such nonresident
aliens on shares or bonds or deposits in
savings banks, and each corporation or
company is required to pay 2 per cent
tax on such dividends coupons or in
terest, and deduct the sum from the
amount otherwise payable to the share
owner or hond-owner or depositor."

It were not, the laws that govern busi-
ness indicate return, and socn, Of bet
Ter timos, no matter what IS done in
the way Of legislation, finsncial or other
wise.
II we attempt 10 account, in a meas
ure, for the recent stagnation by as
scribing 1t to legislation or expected
legislation, we have only to remember
that nothing can wholly overcome the
law OF supply and demand, the funda-
mental law Of all business transactions.
1t is fact that after the election last
year not few manufacturing institu-
tions shut down and dischorged their
employees. 1t makes no difference to
what we attribute this movement on
their part; whether they were justified
or not, we all know that a demand for
their products will cause, If not COM
pei them to start up again ere long.
Many large establishments have been
conducted on half capacity, and they
will, through a demand for their prod
ucts, be compelled to run again at full
strength.
While profits were large manufactur-
ers were stimulated to over-production.
That for period caused temporarily
what we call good times Then came a
change With warehouse and storage
space filed to the utmost certain causes
led the manufacturers to believe it to
their interests to shut down, discharg-
ing help, and let the problem work itself
out. In some cases, wherein the national
election may not have gone to their lik-
ing, the movement may have even been
unnecessary. Be that as 1t may, the re-
suit has been the same.
Now the conditions are favorable,
must be favorable, to an awakening.
Supplies in certain lines, we are told,
are running low. Hard times, so called,
have caused many persons to do with
out conveniences, especially luxuries,
and such a course on the part of the
people will work toward a demand for
new goods, new ware, new products and
% supply these, with low stock on
hand, will mean speedy return to
prosperity for a time at least This in
spite of the Wilson bill. free trade or
tariff doctrines, monetary legislation or
any other measure on the part of the
government. TO sum up: Supplies are
running low; a demand will set in mo-
ion the manufacturer, the merchant,
the traveller, the hotel and the entire
business machinery

ter or lsave In the midst Of q worse
storm than has swept this coast for the
past twelve months? One Of these days
the powers that be will be forced to an
swer this question" It has been known
for some time past that efforts have
been made to have the lighthouse ten
ders removed to the Sound, and the agi-
tation has been much more pronounced
since the arrival Of the Columbine; but
ito an ordinary-minded mortal 1t seems
queer that the Ledger would resort to
such an argument In furtherance of the
wishes Of the people on the Sound. when
the allegations could SO readily be dis
proved. The facts Of the matter are
that at no time was either the Man
zanita or Columbine bar-bound, the only
reason for their failure to go out during
the stormy weather last month being
the imposslbility of accomplishing any
work outside while the water was SO
rough. On more than one occasion in
January attempts were made to land"
coal on the lightship, but were
necessarily abandoned ON account
Of the swell. and the tender returned to
port. Both Of the steamers have crossed
the bar time and again in the toughest
weather experienced here in years, and
as often have returned to dock and re-
ported that a boat could not be
launched with safety either at Tilla.
nook rock or at the llghtship. Either
the Ledgers sources of information are
unreliable. or deliberate falsehood has
been asserted.

evident that something is radically
wrong, and that fruit or peanut stand

II Is interesting to learn that some Of

and that they have orders. 1t is true
that while there ls demand for goods.

ing that the goods must be produced for
less money. II seems that this can be
done-by paying lower wages to the
operatives. But that is better than pay
ing no wages at all, and II seems to be
practically what the workingmen voted
for In November, 1892, 1t may be OBJ
jectcd that 1t is getting the pay OF
American operatives down to that OF
the British worlsmen. but the former
wanted n change, and this was the only
change possible. In one district the men
have refused to accept the lower wages
and the inevitable result Is the CLOSING
OF the mills, which will be done II the
men adhere TO their purpose. 1t is al
the owners can do. And then the fact
must be borne in mind that fully 20 per
cent OF the operatives who were idle in
September are now employed. The other

In a nation at peace and reunited, that
every valorous deed on both sides could be
marked and recorded, with satisfaction
to all the people.
There is more than one reason why the
field Of Chicka mauga-am6ng all the battle
grounds of our civil war-should have been
the one selected for such a PURPOSE.
In no battle of the late war were so many
states represented troops being present
from all but five of those comprising the
Union in 1860, and lying east of the Rocky
mountains.
Further, the North and South here have
an equal interest in recording the deeds
of their gallant sons. since the battle may
be safely called a drawn one, leaving no
actual advantage with either side. The
killed and wounded during the two days
and the time Of fighting, not only the losses
in any other of the great battles of our
civil war, but those of the notable engage
ments of modern Europe.
1t would seem that a nation with such
a record for valor on the field should not
only preserve it. as congress has fully pro-
vided for doing at the National Park, but
that it should take pains to call the atten-
tion Of the people to the remarkable lesson
thus presented.
The first necessary steps taken in the
matter was the purchase by the United
States government of ten square miles of
the Chickamauga battle-ground.
This ground lies entirely in Walker coun-
ty Georgia, within two miles of the Ten
nessee line. and about ten miles from Chat
tanooga 1t was, fortunately for the pur
pose not in the line of the recent growth
and improvement of the environs and
burbs of this city.
A considerable portion of the land was
very poor and unfit for farming. This part

Sunday, Sept. 90 1868, from 2:30 p. n. to 1870
p. M, successfully maintaining it against
repeated assaults by the enemy, and with
drawing only after the attempt to take it

AS you go through the park, thinking of
the battle, the eye instinctively seeks safe

Yes genially responded our veteran of
Chlckamauga, there were quite a number
of gentlemen here from Ohio and Illinois,
or Indiana, at that time, who so far agreed
with you as to think it good place to
fight from.
ITS true they went in there. just as you
suggest, but they didn't stop. They were
gobbled-by the Louisiana Tigers, if I re
member rightly-or some other man-eating
organization which was looking for Just
such lambs as they. And the monuments
put up down in that little hollow will re-
cord just the number of missing that
there were men in both those commands"
Indeed, the number of missing recorded

that, amid it's dimness and the hindrance of
bush and underbrush, the number Of pris-
oners taken on both sides was unusually
large.
There are two more towers, and two upon
that wonderful annex to the park proper,
the Missionary Ridge crest road which
does for the battle of Missionary Ridge
what the park does for that of Chicka-
manga.
The road, with 5O-foot right of way
coded entirely to the ownership and control
of the United States government, and by
them constructed, beautified and main
tanned, is cut like shelf along the western
brow of the ridge. 1t runs from Rossville
gap, where it intersects the Lafayette road
going down into the park, for eight miles
along this almost bluff-like 'front.' and ends
at Sherman Heights. where that general
entrenched himself when he slipped across
