THE FARMERS SALVATION.
Depew Advises Them to Organize To-
Mutual Protection.

Mutual Protection.
SYRACUSE, Sept. 16.-Chauncey M.
Depew addressed large audience at the
state fair today. In the course of his
speech, referring to the recent agricul-
tural depession, he said besides largely
increased production he found further
cause for it in the attempts of speculat-
ors to corner the markets. In view of
the depression brought about by these
causes, it becomes the highest
duty of American statesmen and Amer
lean farmers to look about for remedies.
The first act of the farmer should be
to be intelligently organized. In the
present condition Of the world, organiza-
ton is necessity of existence. Capital
organizes trades unions, manufacturers
organize for protection, the farmers
alone have failed to unite in any eff
cient, practical way. In conclusion De-
pew said, in his judgment, we are near
the bottom of the grave of agricultural de-
preston, and will soon begin to climb
up the other side.

GRAPE DRYING.
The Enormus Extent Thereof Decreasing
the Production of Wine.

tHe TUUHCtIVh OI W "IHe'
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-The viii
cultural commissioners are watching with
much interest what effect the drying OF
grapes is having on the wine production
and the wine market. So extensive
has been the drying of grapes this year,
that it is believed the total pro-
duction of wine will not be
over 14,0O0,000 gallons. The wine
market is at present in very salts
factory condition. About all the sweet
wines and nearly all OF the dry wines
have been bought up at good prices, and
but little is now to be obtained. Cali
fornia dried grapes are becoming popu-
lar in the east, and the almost total
failure of the eastern grape crop, has
made an increased demand for our dried
grapes among eastern wine men.

The advocate., 1890-10-15

enacted BY the Legislature OF 1889, the busi-
ness OF The court has grown upon the throo
Justices and three commissioner, With an
accumulation OF 1850 cases now pending and
undetermined, the number OF appeals taken
10 the supreme court each year amounting
10 800, u certainly cannot DO hoped, and 10
certainly would not be wise, 10 limit appeals
10 such an extent as will enable tho present
supreme court 10 promptly dispose OF the
appellate business OF the state.
CONCLUSIONS,
From a careful study of tho proposed
amendment, OF los purpose, and OF los effect
on the public and private interests involved,
II Is fair to conclude;
First. That the amendment does not
propose any hurtful or undesirable change
Ia our organic law.
Second. That the proposed increase OF
the supreme court Is needed-the aCCumu-
lated and GcCumulating business OF the
court cannot b0 promptly disposed OF by
any smaller number OF Justices.
Third. That tho court OF seven Justices
proposed by the amendment will DO suiii-
oient 10 secure a speedy decision OF appeals
"a thing OF such great imp0rtantanco 20
every honest libigant, and especially TO the
weaker and more helpless party.
Fourth. That the adoption OF the amend
ment will increase the public expense very
little over tho present necessary cost OF tho
court-an increase Of, at most, only one
salary over what we are now paying and
must continue 10 pay.
Fifth. The adoption OF tho amendment
will prevent the creation OF intermediate
appellate courts by the Legislature, with all
OF their attendant expense and drawbacks,
and for which there will b0 great need and
a strong demand X the supreme court is not
now increased.
Sixth. That the increase OF tho supreme
court, az proposed by the amendment, is
the most desirable and the most econOmi-
cal plan for the proper disposition Of the APP
pellato business OF the state.
Seventh. That the proposed amendment
contains none OF the Objectionable features
which caused the defeat OF the judicial
amendment In 1885. 10 does not increase
individual salaries, does not lengthen the
term Of Office, does not change the present
powers of tho court and does not In any re-
spect change the power OF the legislature
over salaries or other matters relating TO
the court.
The farmers and business mon of this
state should 500 TO IL that this amendment
is adopted. Respectfully,
ED. s. WATERBURY,.
The advocate., 1890-10-15
