The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1886-12-25

The following, which is editorially en-
Florida Herald of Jacksonville is cred
tied to us. THIS credit we DO not deserve,
but we are as well convinced that the
views of the well known writer is cor
rect az ia orr esteemed contemporary:
"A newspaper is supposed TO publish
all communications of a decent manner,
let il hit who il will: this does not fol-
low that the editors views are con-
tanned therein. We often accept COM
munications that we would like TO have
different, but only do so as a matter of
news, that the people may have the use
of our columns. exclusive of our own
ideas. liz we differ we saws so"

"kespOnSibiltIN J."

Certain parties in Pala;ka misappre-
hend entirely the responsibility" as
sumed by newspaper. From legitimate
responsibility THE News has never
shrunk. and never will while the present
owners are at the helm. We have
weathered in the past storms as fierce as
we expect to meet in the future, and we
have no reason to blush for our record.
But, for the opinions of our correspond
ents, neither the proprietors nor editors
of the paper are responsible, as long as
these are decent in expression and con
form to well~known and loug-established
rules. If the citizens of Jacksonville
hold meeting and pass certain resolu-
tions, these are published as a matter Of
news, and the publication does not make
us Irresponsible for their truth or fair
ness. If we publish resolutions passed
by the citizens of Palatka III condemna-
ton of man or railroad or steamboat,
it is only as news, and we may discredit
the same either at the time or afterwards
when further information is obtained 10y
us or by the parties at issue.
When the ladies of Barlow condemn
the alleged action of public officer, we
DO rot endorse the same by publishing
the report Of public meeting duly re-
| ported 10 US, and when these opinions
are not founded on fact, we are entirely
willing to say so. Justice requires of us
so much, and TO threat, either of one
kind or another, can make the obligation
more weighty or the reparation more
| full. He who charges malice in such
publication commits an injustice greater
than that of which lac complains, and h,
who misunderstands cur motives or pc
sition only betrays ignorance either o.
| the one or the other.
! We repeat that, for all expressions Of
| opinion in THE News the public knows
where the responsibility is fixed, and foI
these neither the printers nor pressmer
nor the business management is respon-
sibIe. When we shrink from Legitimate
responsibility we shall be only too anX-
| ioUs TO hide our diminished heads.

TIE FRUIT QUESTION.

From California Standpoint-Ab1 ut /
Oranges, Lemons, Seasons, etc.
The following communication Is from
the last number of the New York Mar
kef Journal
Los Angeles, CAL, December 10.-In
YOUR valuable Journal of the Goth ult.,
under the head OF TIE Great Fruit
Question" yau make a statement that
California fruit growers are also demon
allied, etc. As far as Northern Cali
fornia is concerned we do not offer any
corrections, but as to Southern Caiifor-
MIA, whose interests, methods, means of
shipping, etc, are entirely different, we
wish TO correct the impression made in
your article.
We have an organization 10y the name
of The Orange Growers Protective
Union Southern California. a : its name
/ indicates, 1t is especially IN the interest
of the orange growers. This organiZa-
ton shipped over one half OF the entire
orange crop of Southern California the
past season, and excepting one locality,
which had sold its crop through her own
1 agents, the Union shipped about eight
\ tenths of the crop. The utmost harmony
/ prevailed and all were well satisfied with
results. Instead of shipping our fruit To
/ but thirty-two different places East, as
/ the year previous, the Unions fruit alone
was distributed to seventy-one Eastern
/ cities, and the prices realized show an
increase OF over forty per cent, or an in
crease of fully $3.50, 600 for the crop.
Carload rates for oranges under Union
influences from Los Angeles to New
| York City are Sl.25 per hundred, or <. 30
per carload, or &c. pee box.
The crop just coming in, the first TO
be shipped about January LIST. Several
carloads will be shipped for holidays.
\ few have already gone, but our or
anges are not nit to eat before the 18th
January, and are better month later.
and choice for the LIST of March, and
royal in April. Iay and June.
Our crop will not exceed last year
very much, If any, about 2,5UO carloads.
| With our Washington Navel oranges we
are astonishing the orange eating world,
and challenge the world to produce any
thing to approach them. Our seedlings
are also superb.
In the matter of freights, you say OF
the fourth page, that 81 per box 10y the
carload for oranges, etc. The old price
was about as you quote, but the Union
rates were SIC. per box by the car, and
on that we got &c. per box rebate, or S2s
per car, this rebate going into the treas,
ury of the Union and, together with
other proceeds. declared as a dividend
and distributed 10 the growers, who VT IT
members of the Union, pro rata. as to
the number of boxes shipped.
We shall hold citrus fair in this city
dos Angeles sometime in March. and
we guarantee a sight worth trip across
the continent 10 see. Respectfully yours

FGriCy'S Trade Report: General Trade
is exhibiting falling-cff, that is partly
due to natural causes, and partly to feel
ing of uncertainty among large buyers
The former, howe yer, are chI, fly rcspon-
sibIe.
The weather has been generally sea
sonable. and goods designed for holiday
sale, have been meeting with due appre-
citation. The holiday trades of the coun-
try will he of much larger proportion
this year than were before known. 1t is
| not so much that the variety has greatly
increased. for II has not; the tendency of
the public pulse was not felt in time, for
the proper development in many lines;
but there is a freer distribution of money
in consumers hands than there has been
for long while past, and this finds its
way to the tills of the shopkeepers in
that natural way. In other lines the re-
tail dealers are more quiet.
\ change from the last report is that
the dry goods trade has dropped from
the business lead, ard has taken subor-
dinate place in the fashioning OF trade
totals. This is due, primarily to the APP
proach of the annual stock taking, when
from an old timed custom. dealers want
70 have stocks as low as possible. The wis
dom of this hes never been closely dem
onstrated, and the occasional breaking
of the rule has been known to pay well
| the fortunate bIeaker-in.
! Still, the custom has lis effects upon
| trade, and the partly made calculation
/ that this year would show exception to
/ the rule, was without foundation. Old
| customs are hard TO break There has
| been considerable doing in the dry goods
/ lines, but the large buyers have stepped
out until next month and left the mar
kets to the smaller buy ers, who have lit
i tie to do with fashioning the currents of
trade.
| The recent financial turn in New York
| unsettled the wheat market, as it did all
others. and values deprecated in spite of
other favoring circumstances. There
was an after recovery. and at the pres
ent writing the market is fairly strong,
with lessened purchases. There will
probably be low tide in the amount of
transactions until after the first of the
coming month.
The cotton markets were affected to a
less degree, and buying has been brisk
all along the line. This is due to the
strength of the foreign markets, about
the standing of which there is Just now
no uncel tainty.
Wool markets are as stiff as ever,
| though sales have visibly fallen off.
| Mary manufacturers have practically
/ ceased turning out new stocks, owing to
the impossibility of getting a market
for their goods that shall recompense
them for the higher prices paid for the
raw materials.
Manufactured iron is still in good de-
mand, and prices remain, of course,
| good, with prospects of an early rise.
Coal is in general quest, with the sup
ply, in many quarters, far behind posi-
tive orders. Prices are stiff.
Collections average fair.

Experiments in tobacco culture in
South Florida have bsen made on a linn
tied scale, and with very encouraging
results. There is little trouble expe-
rienced in growing tobacco in any part
of the Union. but the soil and climate
of very limited area7 seem to be especially
adapted TO the finer qualities OF the
weed. In South Florida tobacco has
been produced from seed from Cuba
that is said to compare favorably with
the tobacco e. own on that island. both
in flavor and appearance, and there is
reason To believe that the growing Of to

Tavares is ambitious. Already the
Herald of that place is agitatlng the
question of division of the State, and
particularly Sumter and Orange, and
wants Tavares to be made the capital of
a new county. This ia all sensible and
proper enough, and we admire the fore
thought OF our esteemed neighbor in thus
is a central point and would be con-
venient to the citizens of the country ad-
jacent to it. But this is not entirely our
reason for wishing that Tavares may be
made the capital of a new county. The
greatest blessing to a new place is enter
prising men, united and energetic in all
public improvements. Tavares is fortu-
nate in possessing this element. In St.
Clair-Abrams, as business man, it has
one of the foremost men in our progress
i've State. There are so many things to
do in city, such as establishing sewers.
water and gas works, grading streets,
ETC., that, unless the property and enter
prises are owned and managed by thor
oughly public spirited men, the town ia
more likely to be injured than benefited
by making it the seat of justice. But
Tavares is happily situated in this re-
spect, and if it should ever become the
capital of fiourishing county, we can
depend certainly on its rapid and imme-
diate advancement. Considering these
things, and its importance as a railr Dad
center, we confess that we would like to
see Tavares made the seat of new
county.
