Orange Statistics.

The New York Times thus sums them
up: In order to give you an idea OF the
orange industry in Florida Twill qiveyou
some statistics: There are in the State
about 10000 growers. The average is
100000 and the capital invested is from
$6O,O0O,O0O to $75,OOO,OOO. Three
years ago there were produced 1,25O,OOO
boxes, two seasons ago 2, 100000, and
last about 100000 boxes. From this
it will be seen that the orange industry
in Florida has steadily increased, and is
still increasing. This, of course, has had
a marked effect on the orange trade Of
the United States, and it's influence is
shown in the steady decrease of foreign
oranges brought to our markets. In
1887 there were imported 100000
boxes, and 1877 900 cases of foreign or
anges; in 1889, 100000 boxes and
100000 cases. The oranges in cases are
largely imported from Valencia, and these
have decreased. The latter are imported
from the countries on the Mediterranean
sea, where orange growing is giving way
to lemon growing, lemon sprigs being
grated on orange trees.

TOLEDO, O., Jan. 10, 1887.
Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co.-Gentle-
men II have been in the general prac-
tice of medicine for most 40 years, and
would say that in all my practice and ex-
perience have never seen preparation
that could prescribe with as much con-
fidence of success as [ can Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by you. Have
presc ribbed it great many times and it's
effect is wonderful, and would say in con-
clusion that have yet to find case of
Catarrh that it would not cure, if they
would take it according to directions.
Yours Truly,

Lime in Horticulture.

Lime is q renovator and preserver Of
peach trees. 1t is most excellent fertil-
izer on lands rich in humus, and valu-
able as a wash to repel borers, kill off
moss and lichens and destroy the various
insects which prey upon the foliage.
Lime and sulphur are considered a spe-
cific for rust upon the orange, and lime

The Best Grown.

The groves of Florida, says the Fruit
Trade Journal of New York, produce the
best oranges grown. In lusciousness,
sweetness and rich flavor imported or
anges cannot compare with them. Next
to Florida, California produces the best
oranges-some even claim that the River
side is as superior to the Florida fruit in
flavor as it is more beautiful in color.

For THE FLORIDA AGRIcULTURIsT.
Protect the Farmer.


agree on these in the pages of the reviews.
With us the hard fact remains that the
difference between poverty and compe-
tence to the South Florida farmer is
made by the importation of foreign
fruit. There can be no doubt Of the fact
and it is duty we owe ourselves to look
for the remedy.
Can we ,ower the price paid to laborers?
And staring us in the face is the certainty
that with the laborer on starvation
wages comes the lowering of that stand
ard to which we have elevated the Ameri-
can citizen by two centuries of freedom
and one hundredyea ofcommon schools.
If we lower that standard, then we can
compete with the cheap labor hich our
rivals command, but at what d price?
The Florida farmer pays protection
tax for the benefit ofothers. Why should
he not also come in for his share of the
good as well as the evil? Whatever our
theoretical belief, welive and mustlive for
years under the operation of protection
and we have q just claim to a share in it's
grist whatever be the character of the
mill or the miller.
The Orange Growers Union has already
in the most emphatic terms made it's
claim to a protection duty on oranges;
we cannot see how the Alliance can fail to
urge the sameplea. To thefarmer South
Florida the orange is hog and hominy,
clothes and shoes. If he must pay duty
for his ak and his coat, his leather and
his hat, let the same logic apply to him
and give him at least share of what he
pays to others. There is no question of
right or wrong-we leave. that to the
theorist-it is a matter of life or death to
an industry in whose future many of our
citizens have confded the labors and
hopes of lifetime. In his welfare like
wise is bound up the future Of his COM
munity and State. If the orangeindustry
is failure, South Florida must again be
left to the razor-back and the COW.
We have been told that the Alliance is
an organization of agriculturists for
mutual protection against the assaults of
grasping avarice and the combinations
of INSCRIPTIONS monopolies. Cannot our
united voice swell and grow till it's waves
lash the hard sand ofthe politicians soul
as we'll? Cannot it's thunder warn him
that at last he must consider the farmer
as we'll as the manufacturer? Is it too
much to ask that the members of the
Alliance come as one man to the rescue
of Florida's imperilIed industry? If our
organization fails in this duty many will
hold it false to it's promises, recreant in
the present and hopeless for the future.
Let us claim this relief for ourselves and
our brothers, and hold every man re-
sponsible who dares fail us in this hour of
our utmost need. Let us mark the man
who brings political consistency nearer
to his heart than the welfare of his
brother-let the Alliance bejudged by the
course it takes in this first time of trial
The organization is not the mother we
have seen in her, If she heeds not the cry
of her children and like Rachel refused to
be comforted because they are not"

A CELESTIAL CAPITALIST.
A Chinaman Whose Like Is Not often Met
 With.

Charlie Fong is vegetable vender and Charlie has established a credit in Phoenix that is not extended to many of his Christian competitors. He is a rustling business-like Chinaman and makes regular trips to the mining sec tions of the Territory with grocery sup plies and vegetables. Almost everybody in the county knows Charlie and he is looked upon by his Celestial brethren as the luckiest man in the country.
 Last week he started out on one of his regular trips, loaded with potatoes, eggs, bacon and beans and returned yesterday with five shining twenties. He does business on the credit plan too, for the mines have regular pay days and Charlie trusts lots of his customers until pay day. He has good wagon and a stout pair of horses and cold or hot weather never makes any difference with him. In the winter he wears cap that he pulls down over his ears and in the summer the same cap, folded in, is perched on the top knot, made by his twisted cue.
 Another pleasant feature abo ut Charlie is that he always greets you with beaming smile. He was never KnOWn JO De out or numOr. lie comes into town on cold morning and through his chattering teeth he will make the laughing remark, Heap . muchee cold; no difference-me catchee heap money. Cold belly good. When belly cold, sellum heap bacon."
 All the Chinamen in town are anxious to go in partnership with Charlie, but he repels all overtures in that way without making an enemy. They all claim to be Charlie's cousins, too, which is another evidence of his popularity. "Me know Charlie Fong? Yes, me co'sin," said one Chinamen yesterday, in answer to 8 reporters query. "Charlie, he have vegetable garden. He heap good man makem lots money. He go up mines all time," and would have given eulogistic biography of Charities life if the reporter had re- mained.
 Charley's ambition is to amass for tune and return to his native land, though it is doubtful if he would ever be satisfied to settle down and pursue the life of a retired capitalist.

Enjoyed By Those Attending the Musicale
 of the Ladies of the Episcopal Church.
 The musicale given last evening, at the residence of Mrs. H. II. Logan, by the ladies of the Episcopal Church, was a decided success. A flute solo, by M. M. Harris, basso solo, "Flee as Bird, " by D. c. Williams, a piano selection, "Nearer My God to Thee" by Professor Hermann, and song by Miss sherman, was the order of the musical program, and each performer was heartily app plauded.
 After the concert, refreshments in the way of coffee and cake, were had and dancing was then engaged in for an hour.
 The intention of the ladies was to make it a pleasant, social event and, coincidently, to'contribute to the Church cause, and they succeeded admirably.

THE SILVER BILL

In the Aands Of she Clerk of she
 Coinage Committee-FFee Coinage
 Men 10 Renew Their Attacks To.
 Day.
 WASHINGTON, June 20.-At the end of the second days battle over the siiver bill the forces drew of, leaving the situation of the bill Itself, if that could be defined, practically in the hands of the clerk of the committee on coinage, but where it is from parliamentary standpoint cannot be stated until the speaker at tho proper time, as he says-rules upon the question. Undoubtedly the great major ity of the republicans take the ground thst 1t Is still with the committee on coin- age. The free coinage men intend to renew their attacks tomorrow and to endesvor, by voting down all privilege motions, to get to the speakers table. If they progress 50 far they will be in posi- tion to know officially the speakers belief as to the situation of the bill. Meanwhile the whips are earnestly at work. It appears that the test votes yesterday revealed the fact that twenty-seven republicans were aD- sent and impaired, as against ten democrats in the same position. The republican leaders started out to-day under the impression that that they had majority to reverse yester- days action sxpunging the reference of the silver bill from the journal, but after tne nrst two votes they were undeceived, thrown upoa the defensive and compelled to aDandon that plan, owing to absentseism.
