While in Vienna forwarded a letter. which
was published in the REcoRD-UNIoN, advising
the holding of an exhibition in London. in
which IS reported the opinion of the United
states Consul Hon. Edmund Jussen, on this
subject, portion of which will herewith re-
produce:
Il believe in it, if as 1 understand. you have a
me climate. beautiful scenery and ample hotel
accommodations. You could evince that tact
more readily by an exhibition than by any other
means OF which know, and when this fact be-
comes generally known, you are liable to in

On arriving in London found my idea of an
e&nlpltion somewhat anticipated not indeed by
Salltornla but by other Sc tions. / found while
{ there four foreign exhibitions going on at the
same time. One was Danish exhibition. the
otner an irish exhibition, the third a French
| exhibition and the finest and by far the most
extensive was the Italian exhibition, which
! covered many acres of land and contained a
great exhibition hall, filled with examples of
1tsilan industry and art, and which is more
fully described in my letter to the Sacramento
pee OF July Dist. Thus showing clearly that
LONDON is the recognized Mecca for great COM
here spoken of.
In my letter stated above, I said the follow
ing: III we can push our raisins in the markets
OF chicago, New York, Boston and PHILADELPHIA
can we not push them in England Germany
austria Russia, France, Holland, Belgium, Den
marx, Norway and Sweden? Do not the markets
OF the Eastern cities buy our raisins because
tley are better and cheaper than than those of
Spaln italy or Turkey?' If the markets of the
East md 1t TO their advantage to handle the Cal
liornla ra!sins, viii not this same advantage find
US marketin Europe? And so 1t has for this
very season beginning was made in this diree-
loni ga large sale was made of California Faisins
obtained.
In conclusion PERMIT me to add that Califor.
MA Is destined to Sttain degree of historical |
spIendor lncomparably greater and grander !
than that attained by any other State OF the |
Inlon or by eny other country in the word. |
This is no idle boast, for all readers of history
will readily admit the fact that while the snow |
countries produced the best commentators the |
seml-tropical regions alone brought forth that |
peculiar genius of originality which by devel-
opment and the reason fltering process of the
north, men become the guide, criterion. in
centlYe and motive power of the civilized ma
tlons OF the earth.
Let us not forget that ours is a semitropical |
state, destined to be Populous with a great
hlstory-mak1ng race. Achievements are to be
heralded and craven on the immortal tablets of |
history pregnant and fruitful in the cause of
humane benefcence. We are destined to teach /
the arts OF peace. Ours be the destiny to beat
swords INTO plow-shdres and spears into pruning
hooks, ana proclaim throughout the earth that
the age OF t Ieration. liberty and peace is at
hand. All honor to the sturdy band of heroic
men and women who pioneered the path for u.s.
Let US profit by their heroic example and con- |
tinue the good work they have so auspiciously
begun Let each and every one of US do the
best we can to add to the historical store of our
state whereby we may become worthy citizens
OF this great commonwealth.
well know that there is a tendency in all
Wel-meanlng conservative men TO look with
suspicion on any new and untried enterprise |
yet would have none other than the thought
iul conservative approve the plan herein out
lined FOR ultimate success seldom comes from |
any other source except it be by those schooled
IN the channels of forethought and prudence !
II is to this class, therefore, that respectfully
submit my plan OF sending Commission to
Europe, for the purpose of forwarding our COM
meIclal interests. and for the holding of an ex-
hleltlon in London of the products of California
