will come in competition, and declare that
they will be compelled to close up shop il
the tariff is reduced. Florida is in the
same boat exactly, but when she raises
the cry and asks for bread in the form OF
an increase of the tariff, she is forthwith
given a stone in the form Of a reduction
of nearly 20 per cent
All well-balanced minds in both of the
great parties of the country admit the
necessity of reduction of the tariff, and
the only difference, if difference there is,
is how and on what to make the reduc-
ton.
We hope the spirit of fairness and
justice will pervade our legislators, and
that they will see it to the interest of the
nation to remove the tariff from the
highly protected industries of the East
that have long since arrived at the age
OF manhood, and transfer part OF it to
the toddling infant of Florida.

Good Advice-Read it.

Offered advice is not always well re-
ceived, but have noticed it is the genera
aim to obtain the advice of doctor or
LAWYER free. This is one excuse for Offer
ing this, and another is that lDally
would make Florida their home Il the
truth were known.
[ would say to northern readers 1nbQ
whose hands a copy of the AGRICULTUR-
IsT may chance to fall, if they have a de-
sire to ever visit or emigrate to Florida,
to subscribe at least one year for this pa
per. 1t is the leading agricultural paper
of South Florida, is reliable in it's state
ments, and devoted to the Improvement
and welfare of the State. By q regular
perusal of it's weather reports you will
get correct idea of our climate. In it's
editorials, it's correspondence, it's discus
siOns, and answers to questions relating
to agriculture, you will learn the differ
ence between your own locality and this,
what our productions are, the profit and
loss on them, the difference in our modes
of cultivation of the soil from yours, and
a thousand and one things you must
know to be successful here, that would
save you many times the cost of sub
scription in time and money; for it is g.
well-known fact that however we'll a man
in other States may understand the cul-
tivation of the different products in his
locality, it will be of but little use to him
here; for the soil and climatic influences
are so entirely different that an almost
entire change has to be made, and for
this reason you will understand the ad-
vantage of year or two's study of the
subject while preparing for removal.

Cross Fertilization.

On another page will be found an in
structive letter from Hon. III. E. VAN
Deman on the subject of flower fertiliza-
ton, with the production of new fruits,
etc., in view To those who are interested
in the production of seedless mandarine
orange and are willing to 'Fwait and
watch" this will be Of special interest.
The French florists often spend years in
the production of fine rose, and it is no
uncommon thing for them to raise TO-
900 plants from seed till they bloom and
find that they have only few that are
worth reproducing. Ifthey get ten choice
ones out of the 10000 they consider
themselves very fortunate. These ten
are carefully taken care of and when the
proper time comes, the balance are budded
and put on the market at fancy prices.
To raise new varieties from cross fertil-
ization takes time, patience and careful
watching To the true ehorticulturist this
is no drawback, and we look forward in
expectation of many new and choice va
rieties OF fruit making their appearance
during the next dozen years. Those who
have watched the development OF new
choice varieties in the past twelve years,
know that Florida has made greaterprog-
ress in this line, than any State in the
Union.

should say with either orange or per-
simmon they should have the first four or
five years for tree growth, not allowing
more than from two to a dozen speci-

deep, fill it with best surface soil mixed

Plant only persimmon trees on native

claiming the attention of those in our
State who are the most Interested
orange growers,
Even those who do not believe in the
principle OF protection as applied to the
affairs Of our government can consist
emily demand the same ratio of protec-
ton vouchsafed to other sections Of the
country, so long as it is necessary to
raise the revenue required for the main
tainance OF the government by custom
duties.
The very keystone and foundation OF
our government is equal rights, privi-
leges and protection to all, and the or
ange growers Of Florida ask for nothing
that is not accorded to other citizens of
our great nation, and that is inconsist-
ent with the constitutional law of our
country.
They even ask and will be satisfied with
less and as honest, earnest, patriotic citi-
zens they have right to ask that theirin-
liant industry of orange raising in it's
swaddling clothes-be given the same
fostering protection as are the well-de-
veloped, fully-matured industries Of the
manufacturing sections of the country.
The per capita protection of the people
of Florida, as near as can be ascertained,
is less than any other State, and in many
cases the amount of protection afforded
them by the tariff is less than 10 per
cent. Of that given to some of the East
ern States.
This is discrimination that is out of all
proportion to the organic principles
of our government. 1t is discrimination
that causes few to bear the burdens Of
the multitude, that, if it is continued,
may blight one of the most promising
industries of the country and forever
check the development of our State.
The question is, Are not the people of
Florida entitled to the same protection
the people Of other states2 ta ndA vt w vs. are
Hfsri against in this matter of
protection.
The following table will give a faint
idea, as it shows the difference between
