Judge MCGEE very truly remarks, inhls
single tax article, that cit is the worst
character of cowardice to refuse to
discuss through the columns of our
newspapers, any proposed reform" He
might tr%uthfully have added that amy
paper which refuses it's columns for such
discussions, cares not for the interests
of the people, and is unworthy OF thcil
support. While The UNION is far from
endorsing either free trade or single tax
it is willing, through its columns, to giv'
all the light possible on these, as on al
other subjects, that the people may ac
intelligently.

In fact, this has been the best year for
producers that we have had for some
time, largely owing to the better system
for marketing the fruit, but the mode OF
packing, as a general rule, can and
should be greatly improved. The eX-
changes and commission men are often
blamed when it is clearly the fault OF the
shipper in careless picking and packing.
But every year shows an improvement,
and it will not be long before the shipper
will learn that his profits depend upon
the manne in which he sends his fruit
to market.
Phosphate prospecting is all the
rage in this section. Every one has his
pockets full of rocks and there is as
much secrecy going on back OF the
houses and in by-places as you will find
in a thriving mining town out West.
There is no question but that in phoso-
pilates Florida is developing an industry
and mine OF wealth that will compare
f%avorably with the gold, silver or iron
mines OF other sections. It does seem
that providence, with a lavish hand, is
pouring out blessings on this favored
land. The ossifed bone is thought to
exist in great quantities under our
groves and strawberry beds.
In this connection it is well to remark
that old P%anasoffkee, as usual, will ship

Capt. c. V. Gardner has been at
Lincoln, Nebraska, for some time en-
gagged in enlisting the capital OF that city
in the erection OF large works for the re-
duction of tin ore. at present he is in
the Hills with a large delegation from
the Lincoln board Of trade, looking over
theground. We hope he may prove
successful in his efforts. There is
no doubt as to the quality OF ore in the
Hills, but there is a doubt as to how
soon present owners will begin it's re
duction. Speculation in tin claims is
OF little value to the people. The mines
must be worked and orc reduced tc
bring them benefits, and competition vii
bring the desired result.

OUR

Few, even OF our own people, realize
the extent Of our county Of Pennington.
Twenty miles wide by eighty miles long,
and with a mountain range on the west
and valleys to the east, the variety OF
climatic conditions necessary to the
growth Of crops is ever greater than the
extent of territory would indicate.
Readers will please take this into con-
sideration when reading reports Of crops
grown and that can be grown, in different
localities. Our readers in eastern states
must not picture Rapid City as a coun-
try hamlet, whose papers and general
business only reach a radius OF a half
dozen miles, as is the rule with eastern
towns. Our field is the whole Black
Hills tract. The business houses have
IL Wholesale as we'll as a retail trade
and many OF their goods find their wa.
INTO the towns OF Wyoming on the west
ern slopes Of the Hills, while the stead
retail trade OF the city embraces
radius OF thirty to fifty miles.
We speak OF this, that correspondent
n may be more particular to locate ther
selves and describe somewhat the
It surroundings. AS an example, o,
Cheyenne river correspondent say
"Dolnestic grasses are Il failure witho1
e irrigation" while the fact is the par
d of the Black Hills are getting large Yell
OF timothy where it has been faithful
d tried. He also pronounces corn a ia
ure, while twenty miles north OF him,
Bard claims to have raised eighty acr
OF number one corn. Owe wish Mr.. Ba'
would give us his experience.)
of One more point we would call the 4
,e tention OF our foreign readers to. TT
n is a very new country, and while got
crops have been raised, the metho
employed have been very poor. Sh;
a low cultivation, largely induced by Zig
e teams, has been the rule and time
t. needed, for the best OF farmers, to ada
le themselves to new countries.
vi Many crops that have proved unprt
liable, with proper cultivation m;
d prove their adoption to the country.

A Moment

a. W-
of your time, reader, may perhaps be
proftably devoted to the following:
Those who take an agency for a reli-
able, enterprising house, learn their bus
mess and stick to it, "get on" in the
world. People who have any idea Of
engaging in any anvas business will do
well to write George Stlnson & Co.,
Portland, Maine-the great art and
general publishers. They offer the most
exceptional advantages to those who
are sufficiently enterprising to be willing
to make push in order to better their
condition. It costs nothing to try.
Women make successful canvassers, as
well as men. Full particulars will be
sent to those who address the firm;
their full address is given above.

fellows a portion OF their produce with
out just compensation, should be done
away with. Allow me to insist on your
careful consideration OF the following.
What has the man given you who
owns a tract OF vacant land without
improvements who charges you, we will
say, 500 per annum for the use OF it?
Or, suppose you want to gett the absolute
CONTROL OF it, that Is, to buy it, and he
charges you $4,000 for it? What do
you get in return for your money? Now
don't pass this by lightly, but think well
over it. Hasn't he given you just what
the big boy gave his little brother when
he took the apple from him for the
privilege of sliding down his fathers
cellar door? Hasn't be given you the
same thing that the old bishop gave the
owner of the wind mill away down on
the Mediterranean sea when he charged
him a large sum for the use OF the wind
that blew across his diocese? Yes, but
you say perhaps he has a large sum OF
money invested in this land. This, in
itself, cannot justify his claim. The old
shareholders in the south had large
sums ofmoney invested in their slaves.
The question is, should they be com
PEELED or permitted to SO invest their
money? Suppose some ingenious fellow
should erect a large tent thatwouldshu
out the rain and sunlight from a large
tract OF country and charge the people
Tor the privilege OF using the rain and
sunlight, and urge in justice OF his right
athat he had a large sun OF money in
vested in the canvass" how quick you
would be out with your AK to cut down
and destroy his tent. Think Of the vast
sums Of money now invested in this way
