We see it stated by number of
our exchanges, that the Priority Lien
Law passed by the recent Legisla-
ture is working great injury in many
parts of the State. We did not IA
vor the passage of the bill, and still
believe it would have been better not
to have passed it, but we do not be-
lieve it is, or will be, the cause of any
very great distress. The bill was
meant SIS blow at the merchant and
for the protection of the landowner.
We do not believe it will cause any
one to s:starve or emigrate," as the
News and Courier seems to fear.
Without the aid of the landowner 1t
takes away from many renters their
only means of getting supplies with
which TO run their crops, for the mer-
Chant, without the consent OF the
landowner, will not advance supplies,
and risk his chances after the land
owner is paid, when he has no means
of knowing the extent of the land
owners claim. But the landowners
want their lands worked, and in many
cases they will have to consent for
the merchants lien to come III ahead
OF their lien for rent, IN order to get
their lands worked. In this way the
merchant will be more secure than
under the old system. We have
heard no complaints from our mer-
chants in regard to this matter and
we presume they will adopt the plan
of requiring the landowner to stand
aside until their liens for supplies
are satisfied. We hope the time will
soon come when our farmers will be
Independent of any system of credit,
and will be able 70 run their farms
without giving liens for supplies.
This state of affairs can be attained
by our farmers, and when it is, it will
be far better for all concerned.

THE CALIFORNIA VINTAGE.


To the Editor O. tfthe Journal Of Commerce:
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. II, iSS6.-The
season is thus far auspicious. Present
prospects favor abundant crops on the
Pacific slope. A we'll founded appre
hension prevails that unless our surplus
fruit can be marketed east OF the Rocky
Mountains, this industry will have set
back. An organization is being perfect
ed to give better method to fruit ship
ments, with promise of reduced freight
bv rail. Its results may be important.
The present year will probably inaugu-
rate a new era in the wine trade. II un-
toward conditions do not superyene, the
product of wine in 1886 will not be less
than 25,G00,000 gallons and may reach
30,000,000. In 1855 it reached only
7,0O0,0 900, when it should have been
20,000,00O. The failure was due to
grape trouble known by the French as
colluet-a falling off OF the fruit lii its
nascent stage. The deficit has had the
effect to advance the price OF wine, and
will pretty well deplete cellars before
the next vintage. In crude state atvine-
wards Mission now commands 20 to 80
cents, and red Zcafedel from 30 to 10
cents per gallon, nearly double last
years prices. 1t is from the large num-
Der OF newly planted vines coming into
bearing that so great an increased
product is expected the next vintage.
Should this reach the anticipated amount
it will necessarily reduce the price OF
wine, and increase its consumption, and
as this increase will continue from year
to year, as other young vines come into
bearing, wine will soon be as abundant
and cheap in the United States as III
France and Italy. Wine can be made III
California at living profit for ~, cer-
tainly as 2 cents gallon. Can eastern
VINEYARDS compete with these prices?
Again, what effect will prohibition have
upon the wine industry of California and
what effect will that industry nave upon
prohibition? California wine is destined
to improve in quality and increase IN
quantity, unless prohibition is factor OF
more importance than I think it is. a
sound, dry wine in dietetic consumption,
while it promotes health and sobriety, IS
the most potent antagonist to the use OF
distilled spirits, and may yet solve the
temperance problem.
FROM THE NEWS AND COURIER.
The fruit business of California is a
large item in the productions OF that
State. From statistics compiled in Sac
ramento it appears that during nine
months of last year 2,145 carloads OF
lemons, lines, oranges and other green
fruits were sent from California to east
ern points. The wine yield, a very poor
one, is estimated at 100000 gallons.
But for the rotting of the grapes 1t
would have reached double Indignantly.
The area in California devoted to vines
is 10000 acres, and it is steadily in
creasing. Raisin culture has OF late
years attracted much attention, and the
product of raisins is constantly aug
mentiug. 1t is estimated that the crop
OF last year was 100000 boxes. The

Much of our space was taken up
last week with the annual reports of
the Treasurer and School Commis.
sioner, and the week before the
County Commissioners report was
published. Every tax payer should
read these reports and thus see
where his money goes. We have one
fault to find with these reports, how
ever, and it is this: It is not stated
Tor what purpose tte money is paid;
for instance, the pay to the Sheriff
does not state whether it was for
feeding prisoners, railroad expenses,
or what, and then if a claim is trans
ferred it appears paid in the name of
the purchaser and not the one who
rendered the services. We think the
report of the County Commissioners
would be more satisfactory if it had
been a little more specific, and we do
not think such plan would take
any more time or occupy any more
space. We do not make this sugges-
ton because We think there is any
thing wrong with the report, but we
would just like to know the amount
of money paid for certain purposes;
for instance, We would like to know
what the constables of Trial Justices,
cost the county.

what pnrposethe money is paid, would

REPUBLICAN DEMAND.

The following plank in the Republican
state platform is worthy of the considcra-
tIOn of all VOTERS: The rights Of cquinties
of labor must constitute the corner stone
Of any well founded state. For advanc-
Im2 the interests of the workingman the
Republican party pledges its support to
the following principles: Ii is unworthy
of Il civilized state that there should eX-
isl any inequality in the condition of
capital and labor before the law, or that
the administration of Justice should be
impcded 10y tcchnicalities, unjust delays
or determinations; the people should re
assert and practically enforce, through
their representatives, the fundamental
principle of universal civic and Industri-
al equality; the prison labor OF the state
should not he employed, under the con-
tract system, in competition with free
and honest wOrkingmen; while ii is for
each municipality 10 decide whether il
will prosecute its public works by con-
tract or 10y direct employment, in either
ease the wages of the laborer should be
made an adequate remuneration for hIs
toni. The legislature should establish u
state bureau of labor statistics, forbid the
employment Of young children in labor
iOns occupations injurious 10 health or
strength. should insist on the education
Of children in the schools and compel en-
pioyers Ia provide safeguards against
danger 10 workmen engaged in mines
and factories, and To render indcmnii-
cation 10 those injured by reason of alb
sencc of the same; arbitration is the only
method Of settling difference between
employer and employee, and should be
adopted and enforced by appropriate
legislation, so as Ia secure in all disputes
an early, fair and authoritative settle
ment.

TINS seems to be an off year for the
decency, if there is any, of the Demo
cratic party. What some of the old-line
Democrats like General Sibley, ex-sena-
tor Rice and other men of the party
who where proud oftheir personal char
acter and private reputation, must think
when they see the highest honors of the
State rendered by Democratic conven-
ton very properly denounced by a
strong Democrat as the "king hummer
of the State" We leave to the vivid
Imagination of the reader. In all hu-
man probability their reflections upon
this evidence of Democratic degeneracy
will be nearly akin TO the contempt
which Democrats of Il similar class, If
there be any i'm the Second District,
must feel, that decency i'm the Second
District has been rebuked by comforting

and We might say, only qualification for
a Democratic Congressman is his I'M
bounded arrogance, self-assertion, and
brazen impudence. From the scavenger
of the Democratic party in 1850, he has
boxed the political compass and swung
the political circle through all its grada-
tons, "been all things by turns, yet
nothing long" Long time ago he be-
trayed his Democratic friends i'm Rice
county to secure the empty honor of a
nomination on the Democratic ticket
and was most terribly defeated ut the
polls. He subsequently betrayed the
Democracy for n Republican nomination
Ia the state legislature, secured for him
by General Cole. He next betrayed
the Republicans and followed Norton
and Andy Johnson i'm their cIrcle-swing-
ing excursion and received as the reward
of his subserviency the appointment
of Register of the Land office ut Winnie
bago City. When Republican honesty,
patriotism and decency resumed control
Of the National administration, Bulls

| Every act of his administration has
demonstrated that purpose to he ms on
ly purpose and his only national policy.
| His lO2 vetoes of pensions to Union sol
diers was an important move for that
purpose. Whine it might lose Inn few
soldiers votes i'm his next campaign, II
would add Ia the strength of the soldity
of the solid South the sentimental aristo-
crazy of the South, and would not
weaken him with the practical aristoc-
racy of Wall street, the great con-
tracing parties which secured his nom

he could do could be more gratifying To

widows and orphans, and Democratic
congressional followers of their Presl-
dent voting against them. Democratic
orators talk 10 the people and pirate
loudly about the peoples rights, the
peoples interest, reform in government ;,
yet they vote every time with the aris-
tocracy. The Wall street parties to the
contract do not desire To see the railway
