HOW. TO GET SETTLERS.

We need capital bad to develop the re-
sources of Florida, but We need settlers
most.
How can we get them?
In the first place it is the duty OF the
State Bureau of Immigration, which has
at it's disposal a limited fund derived
from tax, to do everything in it's power
to induce immigration and obtain set
tiers. At present we are OF the opinion
that they are working in the wrong di-
rection. We think they could achieve
better results by working at immigrant
head quarters-the Barge office in New
York. But aside from this we can domuch

We can sell our land at reasonable
prices, instead OF trying to get as much

100 acres is worth.

ships to ply between Jacksonville and New York
direct. One is already undercharter to the Fruit
Exchange. She is the steamship Brixham, an
iron hull, comparatively new--built in 1885,
think. She is classed '1O0-A-I,' and has a carry
ing capacity for 10000 boxes of fruit. She was
built expressly for the fruit trade, and sprovded
with ventilated compartments in this
respect to any ship in the coastwise traffic from
Florida at present She has guaranteed speed
OF eleven knots per hour and is fitted with steam
steering apparatus She has recently been in the
Jamaica fruit trade and is at present on avoyage
to Galveston. She will reach here about Decem-
7th and win sail for New York on her first trip
two or three days later. She will discharge her
cargo there at once and then have quick dispatch
to Jacksonville again"
"Shall y ou solicit other northward freights ~
mo. for the present, at least, all our, efforts
will be directed towards the handling OF fruit.
While the Brixham is under charter to the Ex-
change, we want it understood thatshe will carry
fruit for anybody. She is to be run for the bene-
fit of the orange growers of Florida, and we feel
sure that the anew line will be success The Brix-
ham has no accommodations for passengers. .
"As to the rates., Mr.. Ives-you WILL of course
cut the 40 cents per box of the Go mbine ?''
"The rates will be in the interest of the growers
and shippers, OF course but lean not state them
by the Exchange directors. You rest as
sured, that they will be satisfactory to the grow
ers."

THE ORANGE SITUATION.

In it's bulletin issued the latter part of
last week the Florida Fruit Exchange
says:
Six sales under the auction system have been
held, in the various markets in which the Ex-
change has agencies so far this week. The low
est average of any sale being 1915 and the high
est 1894 per box, the total average being $34O
per box Thisresult confirms our predictions of the
22d, that no material decline would occur the aver
age for present week being only 2 per cent. lower
than last week. Shipments haveincreased nearly
topper cent. and aresult the upward tendency in
prices has been checked and we look for slight
drop before close of the week.
Probably the averages willfall off about % cents
per box. This depends, of course, upon the sup
ply and the weather.
Complaints are being received to the effect that
the fruit is not as fully matured as it should be,
and some few reports of decay are coming in.
The outlook is encouraging and we still recon-
mend moderate shipments THERE'S no necessity
for rush. hence we do not recommend an in
crease in shipments over what is now being sent
forward. Prices today range about as follows:
Fancy. 1915 to S. Choice Brights, 49, so to
$3.50, Brights, So to 1925, Bright Russets. $3.50
to 81, Choice Russets, So to $3.50, Ordinary Rus
sets, $175 to $780, Ordinary Brights, $175 to
So to 81. Mandarins. $1.5O to S. Lemons, $15O
to $3.50. Extreme prices quoted above are for
good frnit.of the most desirable Sizes Demand

OUR GUESTS.

i y =
Florida should feel herself highly hon
ored this week, for, she has much to be
proud OF; she has within her borders
representatives from nearly every State
in the Union of that class, who feed the
hungry mouths Of millions, who make
life possible, who toll from the rising Of
the sun even to the going down Of the
same, that others may enjoy the bless
ings of life, who are the most deserving
people that the sun shines upon-who
deserve at the hands of our legislators
more than all other classes combined,
but who receive less, in other words the
farmers of the nation, the bread makers
for the multitude
These people came as delegates to the
National Convention of the Farmers
Alliance, which is now in session at
Ocala After the business of the con-
vention has been completed-which will
be the latter part of the week-the dele
gates will be carried on special trains to
different portions of the State, so that
they may see Florida as it is, and be
able to give a correct report when they
return home.
We advise our people to open their
hearts and their homes 10 these people;
give them warm welcome, they deserve
il; show them The country, it will help
us; do all you can 10 make their visit
pleasant, twill rebound to our interest.

AcHAprER oNTRANspoRTATloN

There is yet no indication of q break
in the transportation combine which
raised the price of freight On oranges to
the Eastern markets thirty three per
cent, and it seems as if our fruit growers
would haveto submit, for the present, to
the squeezing. This we will do with as
good grace as possible, but our memo
ries are as long as the much-talked Of
"moral law" and the time will come, and
come quickly we hope, when we vii be
able to pay the squeezers in their own
coin.
We are not advocates Of a paternal
government; experience has taught US
that the less governments have to do
with our private and business affairs the
better it is for both the government and
the people, but few more mastery
strokes" such as the freight combine, on
the part of the railroad companies will
convert us to the opinion that it would
be desirable for the government to own
and control the transportation lines.
But after all this would not be practical
BILE or desirable; our destinies now, as they
always have been and always will be, are
in our own hands. We must grasp the
situation and solve the problem. If we.
wait for others to do it it will never be
done.
An orange grove produces greater
weight of produce for shipment acre
for acre than any other crop
grown. Ten acres OF orange trees
will furnish transportation com
panies with more business than ten OF

growers of wheat, cotton, corn, etc, as

ange growers each year is increasing in
proportion to the increase in the yield oil
the groves.
This year Florida produced about
1,75O,O0O boxes OF oranges. The trans
portation companies haveseen fit to levy
an additional tariff of ten cents per box
ON the fruit, which yields them the snug
little sum OF $175, OOO-enough to pur.
chase very handsome fruit steamer.
Next year the crop may exceed 3,OO0,-
900 boxes The extra tariff of ten cents
per box will yield the transportation
companies $500, 000-enough. to buy one
or two additional steamers. The crop
will continue to increase from year to
year until within few years the yield OF
our groves will in all probability amount
to seven, eight or ten million boxes an
nually, and as history repeats itself and
precedent is the only (and always the
best) thing upon which we can form an
estimate, it is safe to say that the trans
portation companies will not relax their
hold upon our vitals, but will continue to
levy the ten cent arbitrary" In fact we
have no reason to think that they will
not; their action in this case and innunl-
cradle others, perhaps forgotten by the
"soulless corporations but still fresh in
the memory Of the sufferers, clearly indi-
cate that they will In fact we do not
know that they will not do worse. We
are at present entirely at their mercy
(this word is used only as figure Of
specify and if they double Or quadruple
the amount we. can do nothing but grin
and bear it.
What are we going to do about it?
Are we going to quietly fold our hands
and allow the transportation surgeons
to insert their lancets into our arteries
and bleed us to death? - =
We do not think so. We believe that
the orange growers of Florida are too
shrewd to allow such dire calamity to
overtake them. If the money that will
be paid this year 60 the transportation
companies by the orange growers OF the
State for moving their fruit could be
properly handled it would purchase and
operate for the season a line of fruit
steamers from Florida ports to the East
ern markets. If the additional ten
cents" that has been added to the price
of carriage could be used for the purpose
it could subsidize a line Of steamers which
would give us every facility and accom-
mediation now offere1 by the existing
lines.
1t is our honest opinion that at no dis
tant day Florida oranges will be trans
ported to the Eastern markets by steam
ers owned ,ssor at least controEed, by, the
fruit growers themselves.
This is as1natter that the Florida Fruit
Exchange should attend to. The Elk
changeis, SO to speak, the executive COM
mittee of che orange growers. By offer
ing inducements we believe that they can
have established new line of coastwise
steamers for the transportation of our
fruit. In the coarse of time these steam
ers or others could be purchased or char
tered for the season for the exclusive use
of the orange growers, and at a cost to
them we think OF much. less than the price
now demanded by the transportation
combine.

Holding to Old Usages.

It seems somewhat strange that the
usages OF semi.barbarous people, as
the English people were when thecom.
mon law was evolved, are all abandon
ed except those that pertain to the
administration OF Justice. An English
paper, in calling attention to the cir
cumstance that judges in that coun.
try still wear wigs in trying cases, says
that it furnishes evidence that there
is less progress in law than in any
pursuit to which men OF intelligence
and learning devote Themselves. A
hundred years ago the members OF all
professions wore wigs, but they are
never seen now outside a court room.
Our Judges 10 not wear wigs, hut they
hold fast to practices that have long
been abandoned in Great Britain.
Trials here are much longer than
there, and many more appeals TO
higher courts are taken. English
courts, ii is said, are now not only
seli-sustaining, but sources OF revenue,
while the maintenance OF our courts
