Florida Immigration.

For years there has been a steady increase in
The number of new settlers in the State from The
North. 1t is not only possible, but il is ex-
tremely probable that the number of Northern
immigrants to Florida next year will be greater
than it was last year. and that before many years
there will be entire communities in different
parts of the State composed entirely of Northern
people. "-.Saoannah Neacs.
The -Ve,os is in error in it's supposition
that the new immigration into this State
is principally from Northern States. 1,
Is true, very many valuable settlers are
coming into the State from the North,
but not nearly so many as from the
Northwest, while by far the larger num-
Der come from the Southern and South
western States. The census of 1880
shows the nativity of the white people of
+ lorida to be
Native born FlOridians .......... S4,678
Born in the Southern States. ........... Al ,124
Born in Northern States. ........... $3.50
There Is no reason to suppose that
these proportions have varied since $780,
The Northern settlers are very largely to
TO be found in the towns which give
prominence to them.
1t is not at all likely there will be any
great preponderance in any portion of
the State of Northern settlers. They
bring much that is valuable in every
community in which they settle, but they
are themselves. equally benefited by in
tercourse and association with Southern
born people. Practically, they all be,
come Floridians.-F Florida Mirror

Kissimmee Wants Another Rail.

1t is not long since that the people IN
that section determined that Kissimmee
should be real live city, and it has been
making rapid progress to that end. Re-
Gently they concluded that they needed
railroad, to be called the Lake Shore Rail
road, to make Kissimmee grow yet faster,
and accordingly they called meeting
there on the 5th instant to devise ways
and means. A. J. Rose, Esq, was chair
man, and Mr.. S. r. Bassett, editor of the
Kissimmee Leader, secretary, and from
his paper we have the following informa-
ton:
After statement from the chair of the object Of
the meeting, Senator j. g. Speer was called upon
and spoke very encouragingly OF the prospects
of the road and of its being paying enterprise
right from the start. As one encouraging fea-
ture Senator Speer mentioned the fact that in his
neighborhood there were $4,000 bearing orange
trees; and that in ihirty-fve days during the
present season $4,000 crates OF vegetables were
shipped. II they Can do that well with means OF
transportation poor, who dare mention limit
to their production when they have Il railroad at
their very doors!
Capt. w. J. Jarvis spoke in very encouraging
terms of the project, and gave the cost OF grading
and cross teing The line at 81 800 per mile,
while the whole road completed with thirty
five pound steel rail would approximate about
$3.50 per mile. A broad gauge road would
cost about S., 900 per mile
Capt. B. NJ. Sims also thought the line would
pay handsomely and that the right way to build
roads tor the settlers along the line to build
them and keep them under their own control in
stead Of calling upon Eastern capitalists
Other speakers followed, and consld-
Grafton of the subject of available means
showed that large sum of money could
be Immediately raised in the community.
A board of temporary directors consist
ing of A. J. Lane, w. J. Jarvis, J. &.
Speer, J. NJ Bryan and B. NJ. Sims, was
elected, and the probability is that the
railroad will be completed ere some other
roads that were projected before it are
begun. 1t is way they have in that
country, and worthy of imitation in
others.
1t will be noted that Capt. Jarvis esti
mated the cost of broad gauge con-
s:ruction for the road at IS, 900 per mile,
and he is railroad man of established
reputation. At that rate the thirtyfve
miles of railroad to the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western line, which Tallahassee
needs, would cost sum altogether insig-
nficant when compared with the benefit
to be derived from the expenditure. Of
course portion of the grading on our
line would be more costly than down in
the level country Of the Peninsula, but
there would be no greater cost for steel
rails, which are now very cheap.

Iowa State Greenback Platform

Iowa Tribune.
Those who read the platform of our
party will find new plank upon the
money question. 1t has long been the
determination of the party to bring re-
lief at the earliest possible day to the
thousands of farmers in Iowa and else
where whose homes are mOrtgaged to
secure notes drawing twice and three
times the interest that can be earned by
honest industry. The great crops Of
this state are dragged out of it every
year, largely to pay interest to the aris-
tocrats Of the East and of Europe, who
have managed to control legislation at
Washington, and reduce prices by re-
ducing the volume of money in circula-
ton, and thus have forced our people
into debt. These men are public enc
mics they bear to our farmers the same
relation as the lords of England bear to
the peasants of Ireland. They stand in
a worse relation to us, for they have Sc
cured the use of our money at one per
cent. and can initiate and contract our
currency. We propose to cut off the
tribute money that fattens the crafty
men. We propose that instead of fur
nishlng them money at tritling rates of
interest, the people furnish themselves
money, and that the interest shall go,
not into the pockets of an aristocracy,
but into the U. S. Treasury. This
would supply all the necessities of the
Treasury and relieve the oppressed toll
ers of the country. Capitalists would
then be compelled to invest their mon
ey in factories and business, instead of
mortgages; thus they would help rath-
