We would call the attention Of every
reader Of the DEMOCRAT to a cOmmunica-
tion published in another column, writteR
by Mr.. Claus Spreckels, the great sugar
dealer Of San Francisco, to Mr.. Samuel z.
Young, merchant, Of this city. 1t will be
seen that Mr.. SPreckels is very confident
of success In the effort now being made to
develop the beet sugar culture on the Pa
cihc Coast. Let every farmer who is dis
posed to test the matter of sugar beet
growing make application to Mr.. Spreck-
els for small amount Of seed, and in re-
turn furnish him with samples of beet
grown from It, This undertaking Of the
great sugar dealer should be encouraged
by the farmers of the country,as If success.
fuI, the new industry will add largely to
their source Of income. Read the letter
without fail

The republican state central committes
In their call for state convention call up
on ali republican electors aud voters Of the
state without regard to past political afil-
iations, who believe in the American prin-
ciPie Of protective tariff and dignifying
American labor to unite in selecting del
egates to the convention. "Dignifying
American labor !" Isit possible that such
dense ignorance prevails among the peo-
pie that any considerable number of them
can be trapped by such demagogy Has
any Intelligent man failed to observe that
where labor devoted to the production and
manufacture Of commodities, the most
highly protected has been the least digni-
fed Look at the labOrers of Pennsyl-
vania who work in coal and iron. Are
they not as muck slaves as the serfs of
Russia Without fear of successful con-
tradiction, we assert that where labor Is
least protected in the United States there
1t Is most dignified. and where it is most
protected there it is least digni6ed, and this
Pretense of dignifying labor Is all sham
and demagogy.
