can not stop or run always in the
same grooves. The first who went
into the orange business demon
strated the fact unknown before
that millions lay hid in our soil and
sunshine, which when transmitted
into fruit brought the coined dollar
of commerce. A field as fruitful in
a dozen different directions lies be-
fore the first farmer. Putnam
county can show full grown tea and
coffee plants We all know that
tobacco and ramie can be grown.
We have thousands Of acre. of rich
land along the st. Johns and Ock-
lawaha and other rivers, admirably
adapted to rice culture. Our coasts
swarm with the fishes TO make fer
tilizers Our forests are full Of beau
tiful and varied materials for cabi-
net work and fine furniture. AL
ready enquiries are being made for
seeds never asked for in Florida be-
fore, and the mill men Of Maine and
the west look with alarm on their
decreasing material and come in
ever-increasing crowds to Florida
that they may meet the future fully
prepared.
There should be no room for de-
spondency in tho hearts of our peo-
pie. The yarns spun by New York
papers can not cover our riches
from the eyes of the world. There
is abundant life in the old land vet,
and the crown is for him who en-
dures to the end. They will react
to our profit and the confusion of
those who spun them. The work
done hH our people the coming year
will be the best refutation, and next
winter these denials can be read
even by those who run. But we
have now given room sufficient for
the rich and the invalid. These
will continue 10 come without new
invitations or extraordinary effort.
Let us show the farmer how he can
become a bondholder by coming
among US; let US prove to the work
err in wood that his place of bust
ness should be near the depot of
material, Florida must be in a
few years one OF the richest agri-
cultural states in the Union and
manufacturing interests will soon
begin to come too. IL is not enough
to pray; We must work also.

Mr.. Morrison's new tariff bill as it
will pass from the hands of the
committee to the house is now form
ulated and those who have urged
that this democratic measure would
ruin the country will now have a
basis of fact upon which to | redi-
cate their theories for the future.
The free list embraces wool, coal,
iron ores, salt, hemp, jute, manu-
featured marble and few minor
articles. This will decrease the rev.
enue about five millions. The re-
auctions are made on articles in
common use and will decrease the
revenue about twenty-five millions.
And now it will be discovered that
the democracy has neither bank
ruptsd the country nor put the ne
gro back into slavery.

OUR CROPS.

10 calculation lately published

oranges and lemons grown in for

port shows that 63O,5l2,sss were
imported Here is room for our
fruit. There is no fear of over pro-
duction Of these fruits in Florida.
Therefore our people need not be
discouraged. Every land holder in
Florida is shareholder in a monop-
oily guarded by Gods laws making
letters patent which no other coun-
try can infringe upon. If the fran

market, each of US would realize
that We had something more valua-
BILE than shares in the Western
Union Telegraph stock or any other
monopoly guarded only by legisla-
tive statutes.
Nor is this all. In the carele.s-
ness born only of assured prosperity
We are nsglesting in Florida what
has made the wealth of the west.
Oar agricultural riches have been
neglected and We have nothing to
show for the productions Of lands
which, under our climate can be
made veritsble gold fields. Look
forward into the far future and re-

A Political Wave.

A Washington .telesram says: "As the government printing ofice there is now going on the most rapid and
 wholesale change of political sentiments on record. l. is a regular tidal wave.
 Previous to the. announcement of the appointment Of Colonel Benedict as successor to Rounds, few democrats could be found anywhere in the estat- lishmcns. There are about three thous- and employees n the offi:e and it is safe 70 say that ..one-ifth of them were appointed as democrats within the past three weeks. The change has taken place and to find republican would require a mioroscopical examination. So no removals have been made. The change has been so great th,t there is talk by those who have been the loud est republicans, Of forming Cleveland democratic club, with the new chief clerk, Benedict, as president. By the time the new public printer arrives to take charge of the office it is thought there will not be an employe in the office who has no, been a life long demo- clat.'

Death in the Air.

During the pas; five months between
 200 and 3oo persons have been killed Tn Minnesota, Dakota and Montana by atmospheric electricity and by tornadoes The orly difference between this mir. tration of death and the earthquake method is that the mortality was no, accomplished in one fel!-swoop. Con- sequently the abrupt taking away of several hundred persons by the forces oi nature in this p1rt of the country has not excited the anxiety and alarm accompanying the South Carolina earthquake. There is, however. only very little difference, if people would only see it. But they can never be expected to do so, SO long as they walk on their feet and not on their heads. Columnar man finds his base upon the earth's crust; so long as that sustains him and enables him to hold his head up he IS willing to take chances with atmospheric dangers. He, in fact,' becomes indife1 ent to the latter which daily menaces him and destroys hun dreds of his kind throughout the world. Let one small earthquake disturb his base and he Is terrorized.-St Paul Pioneer Press

 Louis which says: A committee from
 the Brewers uni5n called upon Martin
 Henry, saloon-keeper on Market street, aweek ago last Thursday. and informed him tha. he must stop selling the beer he had been keeping or he would be boyco.ted. Henry at once reported 10 his brewer of the notice he had received and at the same time announced 70 him tha. he could not longer Sc! the boyco,,ed beer. Henry then made a contract with another brewery and for a week sold that beer. \ meeting of the boss brewerswas held Monday and ares olution passed that no saloon which changed brewers On ,he account of boy cot, should be sold beer at all Conse- quenly tae second brewery had to cut Henry of. The latter then went back to the frs, brewery and tried to secure thei, bee, ay,il. bat Ii was refused him. As a result, he could no: get any more of the foam;ng beverage at all and was finally obliged 10 close up his saloon.

REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION.

Tine republican convention, which
 met yesterday and completed its labors
 to-day did its work well For the first
 time in the history of either party in
 this county. delegates came to the con-
 ven;ion entirely unpledged. No states
 were put up no machine work done by
 the convention. While delegates may have had personal preferences all
 expressed a willingness to surrender them for the interest of the par
 y and the good of the public service.
 As a consequence. much time vas cor
 sumed gin inte,missions and recesses,
 durin. Saioh, delegates consulted with each o:her as ro merits and strength of the various candidates. No swapping
 or commercial bartering for votes were indulged n and :he result has been that
 the republican party submits to the
 voters of this county ;he very best
 ticket that was ever nominated for public office. Not an exceptional car- didate Can be found from the top to the bottom of the list. The ticket is composed of the very best representative citizens of the county. As far as possible every interest has been repre- ssnied. as veil as every section of the ccunty. Unlike the action of the democratic convention, the lucrative offices of the county have not been claimed end appropriated by Prescott and the minor offices thrown to the country ss sop to catch votes. No a;;ernp. 5. bossism was made and none would have beer tolerated.
