Imported Vegetables.

With capital and enterprise Flor>
ida is able to supply the whole of
the United States with vegetables.
That there is money in it will be
shown by the following which we
clip from an exchange:
"We have become so accustomed
to send our ANIMAL surplus products
of the soil to Europe, in exchange
for various luxures, that when we
suddenly find the tables turned ana
are told that foreign countries have
shipped to the port of New York
alone over one million dollars worth
of vegetables in one year to be paid
for in hard cash we can hardly be-
lieve its truth. Yet these are the
facts as they were kindly furnished
us by Collector Robertson, of New
York.
The imports of vegetables into the
port OF New York in 1881, were:
Potatoes, 7s5, 1872 bushels. $446,O96
Peas and Beans, 10 ,5S2 bushels, 22,9l3
Various vegetables, 4l0,S77
Sauerkraut, 126,14
Total slOO5,52O
These were of course, only the
prices as invoiced, which, with trans
portation, duties, commissions, etc,
added would at least double the
selling prices.
The import duty on potatoes is 10
cents per bushel; on peas. beans, cab
bages and other vegetables, 10 per
cent, while sauerkraut, which is
nothing but picked cabbage, is duty
tree. This is certainly tariff anon
ally not promotive Of home industry,
to make the manufactured article free
while the raw product is taxed.
Interpretations OF potatoes during
January and February, 1882. have
been considerably larger than in any
month OF the previous year, aud have
been steadily increasing, from 1900
to 3,oO0 tons arriving every week.

Editor Of The Florida Agriculturtst;
I clip the following from the Chi
cago Tribune:
The Marlin (Tex.) Inoec reports
a newly discovered food for horses in
Falls county, that State. In the Bra
EOS bottom grows a weed, IN
Light fifteen or twenty feet,
that is said to be almost as nutritious
as corn. 1t is called the 'blood>weed,
from the fact that when broken there
escapes a juice that is almost as red
as blood. Many farmers feed their
work stock but once day with corn.
The other two meals are made by
Stalking on bloc 1>weed. There
are many instances where crops are
raised by feeding the work stock
exclusively on this weed"
1t occurred to me that the plant
mentioned above, Il have not been
able to find its botanical name) would
be good plant to naturalize in Flor
Ida, as the climate and soil OF Texas
is similar. Perhaps some of your
correspondents can inform your read
ers more about it.

A COUNTER-IRKITANT.
Important Meeting OF Rubber Mann.
AT Now York.

New York, October 24.-Mention was
made in these dispatches few days ago of q
gigantic "corner" in the rubber importing
trade, by which prices had been forced up
to an abRormally high figure, contem-
plated meeting of the N manufacturers to fight
the spectators. The meeting referred 10
was held ia this city, in the Boreel build
ing, last Thursday. Sixty firms we're repre-
Rented, controlling a capital of $4,000, 900.
The following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS By the maaipulations of operators
the price OF crude rubber has advanced in the
three years from sixtyve cents per pound to 81 20
per pound, and from all appearances will continue
TO advance to much higher prices, without there
being any necessity for it, as the article can be
probably produced for sixty-hve cents per pound,
receive no benefit for this great advance; and,
whereas many of the articles manufactured from
it have become necessary to life therefore. be it
Resolved, That it is the duty of the rubber manu-
factuTers of this country and Europe TO do all they
of this gigantic speculation and to this end they
ask the cooperation of the public.
Resotued, That this meeting advise all manufac-
turers to refrain from endeavoring to keep down
the prices of manufactured goods by undue adul-
teration of than, and in making the necessary ad-
vance in prices to advance the standard of quality.
ResOsUed, That this meeting is the first General
convention ever held by rubber manufacturers in
sense OF the obligation which the world owes to
Charles Goodyear, whose genius and perseverance
we're the foundation OF this worldwide industry.
Manufacturers of rubber boots aud shoes
agreed 10 close their factories after the 23d
of December until the price of crude rubber
should reach such point as to warrant
them in resumiDg, and manufacturers of
rubber goods agreed to reduce consumption
twenty-five per cent. A committee was also
appointed TO mature a plan for organization
of q rubber importing company with a cspi-
tai OF net less than s., 100000.

Manning Gaining Every Day

Special Correspondence OF the Appeal
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, October 20.-The
interest in the campaign in this district is
waxing greater every day. This is seen in
the increased attention our citizens are Civ
ing to political matters, both in conversation
and in actual work. Last Monday morning,
as per announcement, the Circuit Court adj
journed an hour earlier than usual in order
to hear the discussion of the living political
questions of the present campaign by the
Hon. John w. G. Watson. The audience
present was not large on account OF the time
Of day and the fact that the address had not
been sufficiently advertised, but the white
portion was composed OF many of our best
citizens, and the speech Was listened to with
the highest attention and interest by all.
Judge Watson discussed measures, not men.
We have not space to give a full report OF
his argument, bat suffice it TO say that it was
by far The ablest presentation of the issues di-
viding the political parties in this district and
State, as well as the clearest and most forcible
demonstration Of the justice OF the Democratic
cause which has been delivered in this
city since the opening of the canvass. On
Monday night q Central Democratic Cam
paign Club for Marshall county was organ
lied in the courthouse, and the following
staff of officers was unanimously chosen:
DR.. J. w. Gray, president; Mr.. J. G. Leach,
viee- presidents Messrs. Rice FAINT and Geo.
Reimensnyder; secretaries; Judge RS. Stith,
treasurer. Messrs. J. II. Bennett, Harry
Walters and William McWilliams were
elected as financial and executive commit
tee. A motion TO meet every Monday night,
with authority conferred upon the president
to call special meetings, was unanimously
carried. Mr.. Lee Bates, of Coffeevlle, who
was present, was then called upon, and he
responded in happy, fluent aud eloquent
manner, bis speech being loudly applauded.
After a short speech from the president the
club adjourned. Next Monday night Judge
r. S. Slith and Mr.. james II. Watson will
address the club at the inyitstion Of the pres
ideut.
The citizens of Holly Springs are about
to select mayor as we'll SIS . Congressman,
and there sre already three candidates in
the feld-Mr. J. w. FAINT, the present in
cumbent; L. E. Mosby, who announced his
candidacy some time ago, and Mr.. William
son, who, at the pressing solicitation of a
host Of friends, has consented to enter the
canysss. Each Of these gentlemen isstrougly
Supported, and the contest promises TO be q
close one. =

The English Parliament was convened
yesterday, and in few days will have ad-
justed itself to the business of the session.
There seems to be little doubt that the min
listers are substantially agreed 10 their pur-
pose 10 press the closure by majority as the
hrst important measure. No member OF the
Cabinet is known 10 prefer the two-thirds
rule, bat hints are thrown out in certain
quarters that Mr.. Gladstone is not now iu-
clined to resign should the House accept Mr..
Gibson's amendment 10 that effect. But
there does not seem 20 be any necessity for
so extreme a threat. The premier has
been greatly strengthened by recent events
in Egypt, and will not, however, without
strong opposition, carry his point. The OPP
position on the Liberal side is weaker than
it was Last spring, and it is known that i'm
portaut Liberal associations all over the
country favor the closure pure and simple.
Lord Harrington and Mr.. Chamberlain rep
ressntiug the two extreme wings of the
party inside the Cabinet. are equally strong
supporters of closing debate by a majority
vote. This foreign measure for gaggiug the
opposition, utterly un-English, disposed
of Mr.. Gladstone will have TO stand
considerable nagging en- the Egyptian ques-
tiop. He will have to answer directly as to
the murder OF the Egyptian wounded By the
English troops, and the extent and duration
Of the British occupation Of the land OF
The Pharaohs. Then the Lrish members
win initiate proceedings looking TO farther
reforms and the ultimate of their now pro-
posed nationsl movement. Besides these
great questions there u the Land law reform
demanded by the English snd Scottish ten
ant farmers, and it is not unlikely that
gatherings may be heard for repesl or a
noo-seation Of the law OF primogeniture
ana entail aud the separation OF church and
state. bas ~hetl-er or not, this is 70 be an
one that the studs~ts If Eoglisb hi.tory can
follow with interss. and learn, something
from.
