"ESENIEs To INDUSTRY, -

The Times. Union of Jacksonville, Fla,
in an instructive article on toe develop
ment Of silk culture in that State, holds
that FlOrids's climate and soil are especial
ly favorable to the production of raw silk,
and that as processes have been invented
which greatly lessen the cost of production,
the business is to be undertaken on con-
siderable scale. It gives the following
facts:
We learn that company has been organized
in this city for the purpose ofgrowing silk extern
sively. An experimental station has already
been established, and put under charge OF an eN-
perienced silk grower with competent assistants.
The company will command ample capital, in
deed IL is the intention eventually, and that not
in the very remote future, 10 manufacture, as
well as to produce the raw silk and within the
next i've years We may reasonably exp ct TO SEQ
our ladies caring the most beautiful elk dresses
from the Florida looms.
The outlook for silk culture in Florida appears
20 be exceedingly promising II is believed that
the tiuer qualities of the article can be produced
Eil BE- ROdlficHty ia competing 9th foreign sir.
lVhlthsr mGRtJdctgrCd or rdW. With our natural
advantages, and the use of the most approved
methods and appliances, wise and practlcsl bus
vest large capital in the business.
The statement is the more instructive
and surprising in these parts, as We
have just been assured, by presumed
authorities on serieulture, that with
out a protective tariff there would
not be q single silk mill in the United
States" OF course, raw silk has been adj
mitted into this county free of duty, from
1916, mp to the present year of grace, and
the temerity of these Florida men is to be
explained only on the ground that they
must be "rebel brigadiers, or ''ex-slaye
drivers" or ''enemies of American indus
try" From their bold talk of competing
with foreign silk, whether raw or manu-
featured, these men may even be free
traders" Who knows? It's indeed hard
to believe that they are "wise and prscti-
cal business mer," for if that be true the
one fact knocks into nothipguess the talk

are ipfiictinR upon Us.

1t is the paramount issue before the country.
Now, how does Judge Gresham stand2 II Is
noticeable that his nomination is advocated by

There must be no mistake made By the Repub-

Judge GRESHAM is q tariff reformer,
like all true statesmen regardless Of party;
like JOHN SHERMAN used to be when he
didn't have the presidential fever quite 50
badly and when his party could depend on
the bloody shirt as an issue. But GRESHAM
has the presidential fever pretty badly

sharp enough to draw differences from the

tions IS well as individuals.
In another column Is q protest of the
Natural Gas Company of West Virginia,
in which it is claimed that the city is vio-
lAting the contract entered into by herself
and the said company. Is this 50? We
hope not, and yet it is wen that careful
attention be given to the points of COM
plant outlined in the West Virginia Com
pAny's protest. There is no question but
that the manufacturers and firms of the
city Of Wheeling can unite and bring nat
urAl gas into the city for their
own use without infringing upon
the rights Of the West Virginia
company. Indeed, it would be sorry
condition Of things, after all the pains
that were taken to protect the city's inter
est when the ordinance was passed, if they
couldn't, seeing that the West Virginia
Company cannot supply them. But let
the ordinance be 50 drawn rs to violate no
grant of the city to the West Virginia Com
pany. By observing scrupulously such
coarse the city will avoid expensive itigs-
ton, besides losing probably some very
valuable privileges. We refer to the gas
that the West Virginia Company, under
the ordinance, is compelled to furnish to
the water works, public buildings, schools.
&c. In granting the West Virginia Gas
Company the right to the use of the streets
for their mains, which is in itself val
liable franchise, it was proper to see that
the city got some adequate return, which
was in the shape Of free gas to her several
public buildings. Now let us exercise
caution and vigilance, 50 that while no
stone is placed in the way Of our manu-
fscturers getting the needful fuel that the
present company cannot supply, yet the
city may still compel the West Virginia
Company. under its contract, to continue
furnishing free gas to the several places
where it is now supplied.

And the wholesale stores? The call for

The Pennsylvania employers of Bohe-

pended upon to oppose any restriction of
immigration. That kind of protection
would not suit them at oil. Real protsc-
ton for American labor is the last thing
these Pennsylvania monopolists desire.
Their game is to keep the price of labor as
low ss possible while making the price of
goods as high as possible. But that is not
the kind of protection the people want nor
the kind the Democratic party advocates.
