WASHINGTON LETTER.

The lower branch Of Congress is sat
urated and stepped up to its cars with
tariff eloquence. There has been a del
uge of tariff talk this week Speeches
follow each other at the rate of from
six to ten each day, for or against the
Mills bill as may lie. On Tuesday
there were six speeches; three for the
bill and three against it. On Wednes-
day, ten orators held the floor success
lively. Yesterday several long speeches
consumed the day. To-day, Messrs
Randall, Mckinley and Brcckinridge,
of Kentucky, will ring out their YER
diets, and ON Saturday, the prominent
republican leader from Maine, Mr..
Reed, and Speaker Carlisle will have
the debate all to themselves, and with
their speeches it is understood that the
general debate on the bill will close.
The report has been current at the
Capitol that after the general discus
sion on the bill has closed, its consider
alton by sections. and final action up
on il Will be allowed to go over until
after the Democratic National Conyen-
ton at st Louis. The purpose of this
it is said would be TO get declaration
on the subject from the convention,
which will bind every member of the
party in congress to vote for the bill,
and thus secure its passage. Still no
one knows what will be done about The
matter at this time, and it is hazard
Gus to venture prediction.
a speech made by Representative
Butterworth, of Ohio, against the Mills
tariff bill, was the feature of the debate
on Tuesday last. He addressed full
I house, and much attention was paid
/ him for an hour or so after he had fin
ished. He argued that tariff was
not, strictly speaking, tax; it was a
trade regulation relating to that part
of the nations business which extends
to the productions of other countries.
He said he could not understand
how any Irish-American could stand
here as the closest and most earnest
ally of England, who was attempting
to do to this country what she had
done to the Irish homes across the
seas.
He created a good deal of laughter
by reading an extract from the Lon
don Times, declaring that the only
time England had any use for an Irish
man is when he emigratcs to America
and votes for free trade, which he in
variably docs

OF THE REPUBLE
CAN PLATFORM.

The republicans in their state con-
vention, reaffirmed their allegiance to,
and confidence in the great Republi-
can party. They favor honest and eff
eient administration; the right of the
citizen to have his vote honorahly
counted; punishment for the manufac-
ture of adulterated food, the protection
of bona fide settlers on the public do
main in their rights; internal Improve
ments, but demand a reasonable limita-
ton of corporate power. They oppose
the further immigration into the Uni
ted States of Chinese laborers; the ne
ton of President Cleveland in order
ing the return of the rebel flags.
They favor prompt payment of lib
eral pensions to the surviving Union
soldiers. They oppose the policy of
the democratic administration which
would place wool and lumber on the
free list, and continue high protect
i've tariff on woolens and sugar. They
deprecate the action of the president in
pocketing the river and harbor bill,
and his bad faith in the matter of civil
service reform.

Ter saw fit to dissent from the Eroad
declaration of the committee that the
senate had no right In such a ease to
question the regularity Of thc election
of members of State Legislatures, and
believed that exceptional cases might
arise wherein the seniite should not so
broadly refinquish authority. This
led to long discussion.

The reporter found Joseph Green spray
ing peach trees to destroy San Jose scale
The spray, which has proven effectual, is
made as follows: Thirty pounds of 9S per
cent. caustic soda; 80 pounds potash;
gallons fish oil; 40 gallons of water. These
ingredients, mixed, constitute what is
known as the soap.
The spray, as applied, consists of twenty
gallons of this soap mixed with ninety five
gallons of water. This will spray eighty
full-grown trees. Cost, 81 cents per tree.
The spraying is done twice a year, in De-

as strong as the May.

Prosperous COMMUNICATIONS of the
Strawberry and Small Fruits.
Eight miles south of Sacramento is a
railroad station with about 800 inhabitants.
1t is built on the red lands and is noted for
Its fine shipments of fruit and berries.
Twenty years ago it was not considered
that these lands were of any value for ag-
ricultural or horticultural purposes but
mark the product of to-day, which may be
equailed but cannot be excelled
j. Rutter, thorough and experienced
horticulturist, furnishes data, the RELIABLE
ity Of which is unquestioned. The best
results from these lands are obtained only
by irrigation, and every acre is susceptible
OF IT, as water in ineXhaustible quantity is
to he had Just beneath the surface. Wells
are bored from twelve to thirty feet deep,
In which the water rises to within eight
feet of the top. The complete cost of
windmill and pump varies from $40 to
500. A good windmill, with two six-inch
pumps and ten-toot stroke, will irrigate five
acres of land for any horticultural product
In this vicinity are about 100 acres of
Strawberries. These are planted in rows
three feet eight inches apart, with eighteen
inches between the plants. They are
MARKETED IN BASKETS
OF one pound each, the yield being from
three to five tons to the acre, the average
being about fonr, and the price per pound
ranging between six and seven cents. The
standard Florin berry is the Triumph de
Gand.
Thomas Taylor, about two miles north
east of Florin, marketed the past season
nearly 5000 worth Of the Sharpless variety,
principally from 4 patch of a quarter of
an acre.
Blackberries and red raspberries are
very thrifty and yield more pounds per
acre than Strawberries but net about the
same, the marketing price being a trihe
less.
Mr. Rutter has JOG acres in vines.
mostly table grapes, planted nine feet
apart. The average yield is three tons to
the acre. His Muscat grapes averaged
him $40 and his Tokays $50 per ton. Mr..
Rutter also converts a considerable guam
tity Of his crop into raisins, ton of grapes
making about 500 pounds of the finest
marketable quality.
An evidence of climate is shown by a
glance at the grounds surrounding the
house. Growing in the open air are or
ange trees on which are hanging many
hundreds OF golden globes, lemons and

Twenty-four miles below Sacramento is
Bryan's Landing, between which point and
San Francisco the California Transports
ton Company runs a line of fruit boats
During the fruit and vegetable season this
line 1uns a boat each way every day,
Saturday excepted, but in December
all are drawn off but one, which makes
the round trip three times week.
These boats make landings at every farm
on the river, the largest carrying about
800 tons, and during the peach-shipping
season go daily to market loaded to the
water line. The "Pride of the River"
Onward and the aurora" are the COM
pany's principal boats, and each are fitted
with neatly and costly furnished cabin and
state-rooms, and accommodate the river
population with pleasant transportation to
and from the metropolis.

Miles of Orchard


Leaving Sacramento city and going

lage of Freeport. Phil. G. Riehl is Post
master, and carries general stock of gro

The river reaches Freeport by circuitous
route from Sacramento of twelve miles, and
its Sacramento bank is bordered mostly by
small holdings, the land to great extent
being used for raising vegetables. In
