INCREASE OF PRODUCTIONS IN CALIFoRlA.-
The Sacramento Union in noticing the annu-
al Address of the President of the State Ag-
ricultural Society, says:
"The President of the Society estimates
the wine production of this year at twenty
millions gallons, the wool clip at twenty mil
lion pounds-an increase of five millions, or
tn 'rty-thee and third per cent. over that of
last year. He thinks there are now two .rd a
half million silk mulberry trees growing and
that the number will be greatly augmented
next winter-.he season for planting.
Five years ago the whole wine crop did not
much exceed a million gallons. 1t is now
twenty times as much. An increase Of thirty
three per cent. in the wool clip in one year.
I'VE think it little overstaied.) is still more
astonishing. and encourages the hope thet in
FIVE years more, with our mountains of both
rarges swarming with sheep of improved
breeds, we may exceed the aggregate wool
production of Australia in quantity and equal
that of any country in quality. Indeed it
does not seem improbable that within the de-
cade to end in 1850, our annual clip of wool
may be worth more than our annual wheat
harvest is now. But after all it is to wine
and its kindred product brandy from grapes,
that we must look for the hest results, both
as to values in cash and the highest improve
mens of the soil and the most pleasing rural
training of the people. When we shall Lave
mastered the dificnities in the way Of secur-
ing the better qualities of wine and brandy,
in the way suggested by the President of the
State Agricultural Society, Or some other
way, our vineyard production will be worth
more annually than cur gold mines ever
Yielded.

PRosPEcrIvE INDusrRIEs.-The Annual ex.
hibition of the State Agricultural Society
came oil at Sacramento last week. The pa.
pers Of that city speak Of the exhibition 10
high terms and predict TINT it will have a
good effect towards Advancing our agricultu-
raj and mechanical industries. The Stock.
ton Independent speaking of the fair says:
"Sone specimens of reeled silk from CO.
coonery in Yolo County were very satisfac.
tory evidence of the progress made in the de-
veiopment of prospective valuable industry
to our State.
We were informed that the silk on exhibit
ticn sells readily for twelve dollars per pound
and the cocoons, from which it is reeed, are
worth two dollars and half per pound. Per.
sons interested in its production. who now
have had considerable experience in the busi-
ness. are sanguine that silk culture mus,
eventually become very profitable business.
There was also upon exhibition the result ri
some experiments made in the manufacture
of sugar from the sugar beet and also from
the cane; which, il is to be hoped, may be
the beginning of a manufacture Of this article
which will eventually save to California much
of the capital now required 10 supply her
with that staple from foreign sources"

ExTRAvAGANCR.

At the present time the whols country is
suffering from the enormous taxation thct Is
required to be paid by individuals, and every
branch of industry. From all quarters the
err of depression in every kind of business is
heard. With each advancing decade the ex-
travagance Of tie people has become greater
and greater and especially since the war. it
has become such an evil that unless more
economy is practiced it must result in great
financial disaster. The spirit of extrava.
gance is not confined to the people in their
individual capacity, but seems to be entered
into largely by our general government.
Since the radical party came into power
the expenses Of carrying on the Government
has increased in far greater ratio than our
population. Congress has shown but little
disposition to encourage economy in the ad-
ministration of affairs while corruption and
extravagance have been largely increasing.
At no time in our history has therc been so
great defaulting of public officers as during
Grants administration. A document COM
piled from the Treasury Department receut-
ly, has been published, setting forth the fact
that defaulting collectors of Internal Reve-
nue. alone have appropriated S5 1888, 1l3.
How much, other Departments have fell short
of accounting correctly, we do not know, but
have reason to believe it to be very large.
The radical party since the war; have evinced
disposition to continue the enormous taxa
alton required during hostilities, thousands
of Revenue officers have been retained, when
their Offices should have been abolished. The
prosperity of the country has not been so
much the desire of the party in power SEEM
ingly, rs the retention of an army Of office
holders to fatten off the people, for the purpose
of sustaining and perpetuating radicalsm.
During the administration of President Bu-
chanan the average expenses of the govern
ment exclusive of the interest paid on the
public debt was about $66 900, 900 per an
mum. with population of 30,0O0,000. Un-
der President Grant the expenses, exclusive
Of interest have been Sl9l 100000, with a
population of 40,000,000. The average ex-
penses to each inhabitant under the former
administration was 50 10, which under the
latter is 81 76. The total amount Of Fed
eral taxes collected during the last fiscal year
was S4ll .255, AT, which is an average of
$40 % to each inhabitant. When the gen.
eral government is guilty Of such enormous
extravaganza it is no wonder that the people
are depressed, that business languishes and
hard times exist all over the country.
If the people want the government economi-
cally administered, suficieutrevenue collected
to pay necessary expenses only and the ex-
travagance of the time overcome they must
look to other than the party now in power.
It has had en- opportunity for more than FIVE
years to relieve the exactions made upon the
people, but has failed in giving the relief
that was in its power.
