EDS. RECORD UNION: In looking over
some of my papers | find the inclosed clip
ping in a carefully laid away Union, which
may possibly interest some of your old
readers, if not the younger ones. Ny
recollections are somewhat good from the
fact that also at that time took an active
part as rider after u o'clock at night from
Michigan Bluffs to Yankee Jims." So
dark was the night that my only safety
was in cIinging closely to the saddle to
avoid being knocked off in passing under
the limbs of the trees along the trail. Not
an object to be seen and trusted wholly to
the mule ridden for a safe deliverance.
This is now over one-third of century
ago, but to look back it makes life seem
short. Some four years ago l travelled
your State from the Colorado river north
ward to Truckee. found vast growth and
prosperity. What you then needed you
have since partly secured, viz: cheap rail-
road fare from the East, that gives you an
assurance of continued advancement.
Yours truly, JOHN S. CoNKLING.
Following is the clipping referred to, as
taken from the Sacramento Union.

We are indebted to the Sacramento Union for
partial returns from Sacramento, Placer, FL
Dorado and Yolo counties, in all of which the
Reform ticket is running better than we eX-
pected, from the result in this county. The
Union says:
II is impossible to give the official returns OF
this city and county. Waldo will leave the city
$50 ahead of Bigler, which will be slightly re-
duced in the county. Sacramento may be set
down in the Waldo column sure. AS regards
county officers, everything is in the dark yet.
Hunt (Whig). for Sheriff, and Hunter (Whig),
for County Clerk, are unquestionably elected.
Epson, for Senator, is probably defeated
The express riders of Adams q Co, express
ing the returns from some of the inland counties
to Sacramento, performed some of the most
remarkable equestrian feats on record. Mr..
Elwen made the trip from Placeryille down, a
distance of fifty-four miles, in three hours and
ten minutes Mr.. White made it from Coloma,
sixty-one miles, in two hours and fifty minutes.
Mr. Ryan, from Nevada, seventy-fve miles, four
hours and twenty minutes twenty miles of the
distance were made in five minutes. Mr.. Hall,
from Auburn, forty miles. in one hour and fifty
minutes, using only four horses.

cussion by saving

The raisin-producers of California represent
one OF the most promising industries of the
State. Removed to a great distance from the
Chief markets. producing at unusual ex-
pense, and aiding in developing the resources
of a new state, they have had absolute need of
the protecting arm of the tariff. Without il
they cannot compete with the foreign growers
For these reasons they are asking that they be
further protected, that the industry may be fully
developed They have proved that they can
pack as good an article as comes from the best
foreign fields of production. The proposition is
to withdraw the protection to some degree and
thus add to the risks of local rsisin production.
The new schedules, therefore, are of vital inter
est. not only to growers, but to the material in
terests of the State. If the new scheme is
accomplished, raisin-growing in California will
practically receive a blow from which it is i'm
probable it can recover, and thus the develop
ment of the State will be seriously impaired.
We repeat that the raisin industry in
California is dependent upon the ability
the tariff affords growers to compete with
foreign producers. Standing alone, and
without this protection, it would come to
dead pause, and finally would expire; put
new burdens upon it in the way of reduc-
ing the impost upon the product of the
foreign grower, and the industry in Cali
fornia would be paralyzed.

THE DECISION.

After hearing all of the evidence Gov
ernor Waterman addressed the following
letter to Mr.. Redding:
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-03-31
RAIsIN-GROWING AND ITS PR0TEC.
TON.

The San Francisco Erun,iner charges the
RECORD UNION with libeling California in
saying that the raisin industry in this State
at present barely pays expenses. With
characteristic insincerity the Examiner
fails to state the case fairly. What the
REcoRD-UNIoN's article dwelt upon was
the undeniable fact, that but for the pro-
lection afforded by the tariff the raisin in
dustry in California would cease That it
is not winning its projectors such returns
but that they feel it necessary to ask Con-
gress to augment the protection now given.
OF this fact, the Examiner is well aware,
as also, of this other, which the RECORD
UNION very distinctly stated in its issue of
the 2Sth inst, but to which our contem-
porary made no reference. eve quote from
our columns):
Development of the raisin industry in Cali
fornia to this date has been largely expert
mental. and such extension as it has had, has
been based upon faith reposed in Congress that
the growers VIII be amply protected against for
crushed out, however, the foreign producers
will monopolize the market, as they did until
the home producers came into competition with
them.
The Examiner says the statement of this
journal that the raisin industry barely pays
at present, might have been expected
from Florida journal, but is incompre-
hensible in paper depending for support
upon the territory it maligns." 1t cites
the fact that as this paper has published
many articles favoring the forwarding of
the industry, therefore, in the light of
present expression that advocacy was "a
lie and part of cruel conspiracy to entice
strangers into buying land upon which
they were induced to believe they could
acquire competency. We happen to
know that the SANDER is baseless. The
raisin industry in California not only pays
expenses, but very handsome profit. In
tending immigrants to this State need not
be deferred by the fear that their iveli-
hood may depend upon the precarious
chances of Congressional majorities''
Had the Examiner presented the matter
fairly it would not have selected single
sentence from the article criticised without
at least stating the general nature of the
context. For instance, we opened the dis

To speak first Of Mr.. Brady's work
in the arrangement Of the scenes
he has selected, he has used excellent
judgment. He hRs grusped the salient

story, aud confning himself TO the

structed play which, as well to those
who have, Ms TO those who have not
read the original story, maintains the
interest 10 the end. But. without
doubt, what made he production the

splendid manner in which the play
was staged. No such perfect scenic
effects have ever been witnessed in
