To Wool-Growers.

To the wool-growers of the United States
1t is now apparent that determined effort
to revise the tariff laws of the United States
Will be made at the next session of Con
gress. 1t is understood that the object OF
those who will make this effort is a large
reduction of revenue, with an abandon
ment of the principle of protection. but
with some incidental protection as can be
given to those industries and pursuits that
obtain the attention and favor of Congress
The theory that all raw material should
be on the free list now urged by some who
in disguise are for free trade, and the neg
lect to adequately protect producers of wool
which has attended all past economic legis-
lation, affords reason for profound appre-
hension by those who represent this inn
portant agricultural pursuit
In order to keep such persons informed
as to matters affecting their interests and
to enable them hereafter to act harmoni-
ously among themselves and unitedlv with
other industries that agree with their views.

address of each officer of all State and
county wool-growing associations, and also
the names and postoffice address of wool

on the subject, the object being to distribute,
from time to time, among such persons,
information calculated to keep wool-grow-
ers informed as to the progress of all efforts
affecting their interests.

Under the above heading the Cal yester-
day editorially says
Captain A. II. Payson says the shoaling
of the Sacramento is the result of civiliza-
ton. CAS- the fields are broken up" he
says, and agriculture commences, there is
naturally drift of earth and rocks, which,
falling into the river, form these shoals of
which so much mention has been made
lately Captain Payson must be the man
some search has been made for-the man
who reads the Stock Report. similar
theory was advanced by that paper, but of
course ii attracted no attention. The CdH
gave Captain Payson's opinion publicity
because he is in a position to form an intel
ligent opinion on the subject under consid-
Grafton. We do not exactly understand
how civilization has thrown rocks into the
river. That some loan may have washed
IN from newly ploughed fields, when heavy
rains came, is quite probable In early DAYS
the river ran more or less muddy when a
sudden freshet swept new matter into the
current. But this light surface matter
passed along with the water. It was
mostly OF nature which dissolves in water
and only separates when the water be-
comes stagnant But the river beds are
filled with gravel and black sand. The
amount OF gravel poured into the channel
from the mines is infinitely greater than
the amount of earth caught by a rising
stream. When there is a cause in visible
operation sufficient to produce a certain
effect, 1t is not the part of wisdom to at
tribute the effect to another cause. While
civilization may have contributed a little
debris to the river, there is no room TO
doubt but that the principal if not the sole
cause of the filling up of the river is the
hydraulic washings from the mountains.
If Captain Payson's theory is correct there
would be no rivers in the civilized world
Washings from agricultural processes are
no greater in California than in any other
country. Hydraulic mining, however, is
peculiar to this State.

a COMPLAINT.

1t is complained that all the agitation
about river Improvement and navigation
salvation is injuring Sacramento; that the
press, by its utterances, is depreciatire
values and discouraging settlement that
the right thing to do is to bring about re-
form quietly, and to keep shady in public
print concerning dangers threatening the
valley. This is the burden of complaint
of certain property-owners. 1t is
the expression of the worst posi-
bic policy Those who enter the COM
plant are wofully mistaken if they
suppose for a moment that the true condi-
ton of affairs can be concealed by the
silence of the press. Capital is cowardly,
and invariably looks to self-preservation.
There can be no concealments made that
viii blind it. The case of the valley must
be diagnosed by the one only physician
the people of the whole country; and
there can be no remedial agencies en-
ployed if the patient deceiHes the physi-
clan. The shortcut to a remedy lies
through full knowledge of the disease.
The people are the sovereign from whom
relief must come. but it cannet be had by
concealing our needs. Moreover, the agi-
tation cannot do injury at all COM
parable to the policy of deception,
! that sooner or later must be exposed. No
great reform was ever worked aquietly,"
and no danger ever averted by mastery
inactivity. This people cannot afford to
adopt the policy of those examples of
animal creation that bury their heads
in the sand upon the approach
of an enemy and ignore the ex-
posure of their bodies. Moreover, it is not
true that Sacramento takes harm by the
agitation. She has had many experiences
of this character, and has invariably prof
tied by nanifesting her courage in the face
OF difficulty, and her ability to overcome
obstacles Let no one deceive himself
with the fallacious idea that if these
things are only "kept still" they will
come out ell right in the end. The
. hush policy invariably aggravates the
al 1t would conceal. The true friends of
the cities of the valley will betray their
trusts if they oonsent to any coneealment
OF the menace tp material interests, or the
needs OF the people. The river wiz either
be lost te us or saxed to us; we will either
pc rescued from hydraulic mining deposits.
Or be buried in thew. Quieseence invites
the latter catastrophe in each case, while
agitation means activity, self-helpfuIiess
and certain success.

tile fell and gave up to the light of day
political prisoners so long immured that
they turned back to It's dismal cells af-
frighted at the very light rof heaven and
the sight Of human beings. But greater
change than this was that in the insane
asylum, where Pinel substituted kindhess
for the lash, gentleness for shacl,les. medi-
cine for chains, humane treatment for cru
city and starvation, and cleanliness for
neglect and an abomination Of 9th act

Piiiel that which Government might else
have refused to humanity carte blanche
to treat the maniac as he pleased. And
ne exercised his power to the tull limit.
Insanity he treated as adisease, not as a
crime; and dethronemeut of reason not as
a sin, bgt misfortune. At last, after all
these years. when nearly a century has
swept by, and time has recorded the full
success of PinePs scheme and its adoption
among all civilized peoples, honor is to be
done to his memery in the form of a

for thousands of things he never thought
of, works hard all day, helps people into
office who forget all about it afterwards,
and very frequently gets cheated out of
half his earnings. He puffs and does more
than any one else, and the miser and the
fogy are benefited; yet they will not take
his paper, will borrow it, and read it. and
cuss the editor from the standpoint that his
paper does not contain as much matter as
a metropolitan sheet. and live in trepida-
ton lest they are asked to help maintain

The date draws near when the fair of
the State Board of Agriculture will open
at the CAPITAL. 1t is to be. opposed by the
Mechanic5 Institute Fair at San Fran
cisco. Yet there is not likely to be any
such opposition as will divide the attend
ance, though there may be 4 division of
exhibitors. But if there is any loss from
this cause to the State Fair it will be ten
times over compensated for by the county
exhibits, which will be, as they should be,
the chief Pavilion attraction. These ex-
hibits are very likely to be forwarded TO
Eastern espositions to aid in inviting de-
sirable Immigration to the coast. 1t is
therefore Of the highest Importance that
the exhibits be full and exclusively rep
resentative.of the resources of the counties.
The scheme of country exhibits is new, but
has grown into exceeding Importance, and
foreshadoys the time when the State Fair
will be an exposition in county groups of
all the products and the chief industries of
the State instead of an exposition of goods
shown by individuals.

is practical knowledge to scientific theory.
He can immortalize himself Just now by
proving--fir that the rocks and gravel
composing the bars in the river, now i'm
peding navigation below Sacramento, came
from agr cultural lands; secondly, where
such lanes are located; thirdly, that there
are any rocks or gravel or agricultural
earth on or in the bars; that there ever
were any such rocks in or on the bars that
rocks and agricultural soil can drift up out
of lands lang below the plane of the river
bed; that the coarse, dark and black sand,
sparkling with metallic particles, now
forming tie bar below this city, came from
agricultural lands, and if so, where such
lands are located.
