and wines

Under this heading the San Joaquin Re
publican says 1t has been the boast of the
Republican party that its cardinal principle
was opposition to human slavery, and its
leaders have filled the world with platitudcs
about liberty and equality. 1t is true the
record of this party has shown its loud cry
of freedom for all has applied more particu-
larly to precept than practice. 1t released
the negro from the shacklcs that held him a
bondsman. 1t gave him the right to vote,
but reserved the right to dictate for whom
he should vote. Nowhere is the negro per-
mtted the right of suffrage untrammeled and
unnAuenced, and with respect to suffrage
nine out of every ten negroes in the United
States are as much the slaves of the Repub-
lican party as they were the slaves of their
Southern masters before the issuance of the
emancipation proclamation. This is broad
assertion, but it is sustained by the facts
In the South it is only in localities remote
from sections controlled by United States
troops, or where the negroes are largely in
the majority, that they dare openly vote any
but the Republican ticket. In the Northern
States where they are more intelligent and
more accustomed to act for themselves, they
are banded together and under the pressure
of fearful oaths written and administered by
Republican leaders, forced to vote the ticket
of that party. White men in the employ of
the Government have no more choice for
whom they shall vote than the lower classes
of Russia in selecting their rulers. They
are, so far as voting is concerned, the verest
slaves that ever picked cotton or gathered
rice. The Central Pacific Railroad was built
by slave labor of the lowest and most degrad-
ing character-by slaves who were sent to
their masters under lock and bar, and who so
loathed their serf life that they not unfre-
quently sought freedom by throwing them.
selves under the wheels of the moving train
All this is the practice of universal liberty, as
understood by the Republican party. And
from the frozen North comes another wall
from Republcan-enslaved people. 1t will
be remembered that some two years ago the
Government leased to certain parties islands
belonging to the Alaska purchase, for a term
of years, for the purpose of carrying on the
fur seal trade. We remember that the lease
was said to be a put up job by which certain
parties made great deal Of money and the
Government lost as much. 1t now turns cut
that the inhabitants of these islands are held
and treated as the bondsmen and slaves of
the Alaska Commercial Company; that they
are robbed of their earnings, beaten and NAL
treated to degree never equaled by the
most brutal slave master of the South.
These are citizens of the United States and
entitled to the protection Of her laws. Their
petition for euch protection has thus far met
a deaf car at Washington.

COTTON, TEA, SILK, Etc.

From our exchanges we gather some items
of news bearing upon the future agricultural
prospects of the State, which are worthy Of
note. Colonel Strong, an old cotton planter
from the South, has been experimenting in
Merced valley for some years on cotton rails
ing, and this year has produced very large
crop, better than the average in the best
sections of the cotton States, and at a greater
profit than is realized in those States. Cali
fornia furnishes vast bodies of land equal to
that in Merced valley for the production of
cotton. The cultivation of the tea plant is
proving success in FL Dorado, at Calstoga,
and at other points on a smaller scale, in the
hilly ranges of our mountains. Millions Of
acres lie dormant and waste in the foothills
of the Serras, suitable for the producing
and cultivation of this plant. A japanese
tea planter has just arrived in this State with
1G, 600 tea plants, which he will plant as
soon as he can find suitable land and secure
title viii not the railroad company in
vite him to Placer where it has vast bodies
of land just such as he seeks? The silk cul-
ture is proving a success in the foothill ranges
of this State, Nevada City, at an elevation
of 5000 feet, having taken the most desira-
BILE premiums at the late State Fair. The
mulberry fourishes throughout this county
wherever tried, and the sik-worm is more
vigorous and less liable to disease in this eli
mate than elsewhere. Mr.. John Thorp has
an orchard of over 1000 mulberry trees
near Virginiatown, in this county, which,
for its size, cannot be beat in the State, and
from which he produced large amount Of
raw silk the past season. For this industry
there is also hundreds Of thousands of acres
lying waste in these foothills. An associa-
ton of capitalists have paid 5000, 900 for
10 900 acres of land on Kern river, includ-
ing the town of Bakersfield, which they de-
sign cultivating in cotton and the Ramia
plant Beet sugar is another new enterprise,
and gives promise of being one of great
value to the State. This has been proved
by the successful raising of the beet and its
profitable reduction to sugar by the AlvoradC
company, and also in Sacramento. The cot
ton, rama and beet cultivation finds its best
soil in the rich warm valleys, while silk, tea
and wine interests will ultimately seek, and
be confined to the more favorable soils and
climate of the foothills. These new sources
of wealth and industry promise vast returns
in the near future, and are to be felt and
seen in every portion Of the State, and by
every interest. While rejoicing in the vast
benefits to be derived by our valley neigh
bors from the cultivation of cotton, ramia
and bcets in that section of the State, We
claim an advantage for the land and people
of the foothills in the production of tea, silk
and wines.
