THOSE who are disposed to doubt the
future Importance of the sugar industry
in Florida or the present profits now be-
ing obtained from it should read and
consider the articles published elsewhere
in this issue by W. W. James and D.
C. Sutton. In these articles will be found
not the vapid, theoretical illusions Of
the enthusiast, but plain, convincing
facts and figures which must necessarily
carry conviction with them.

for the average farmer to go into the

The Florida crop of oranges is likely
to become such an enormous one that it
must seek other outlets, and Great Britain
being the largest distributing country in
the world, must take this fruit. five close
our doors to them with an arbitrary
tax on what they ship eight months to
us, how long will their gates remain
open to us when we wish to throw off our
surplus production?
This line of reasoning is falacious. In
the first place it is doubtful if the two or
three orange producing States of our
country will ever be under the necessity
of seeking foreign markets for their fruit
The increasing demand will in all proba-
bility keep pace with the increasing sup
ply Even were this not true it seems
hardly just to cripple the infant indus
tries of the countryin order that they be
sustained when they arrive at years Of
maturity. In other words, food our mar
kets with pauper-raised fruits now, so
that twenty Or fifty years hence we may
have the privilege of sending our fruit to
England, duty free, and what will be the
result? When the twenty Or fifty years
shall have passed we will have no fruit
to ship; the young life and spirit will be
crushed from the orange growing indus
try of the country.
There is really nothing in the memo
rial worthy of notice, and if it stood
alone the chances for a reduction Of the
tariff on oranges would be infnitessimal.
But the great trouble is it does not
stand alone. The wealthy Foreign Fruit
Exchange is back of it with it's money
and it's influence, and no stone will be
left I'm turned to accomplish the task they
have undertaken-the reduction of the
tariff on oranges.
The memorial, however, is not entirely
devoid of sense. 1t condemns the ad va
lorum system and asks that a specific
duty instead be levied on all oranges,
if the committee does not see fit to rec
ommend placing them on the free list.
This is correct, but instead of reducing
the duty from 25c. per box of 2 1-2 cubic
feet to Is cents, the orange growers of
Florida pray that it be increased to ST..
How can we best accomplish this end
is now the question for our orange grow
ers to decide. Petitions numerously
signed, praying that the tariff on or
anges be increased to 81 per box have
been forwarded to Washington; our rep
resentatives in Congress have promised
to do all in their power to have the tariff
increased, but there is a powerful factor
to contend against. The importers of
foreign oranges are the ones who wish
the duty reduced. They are perfectly or
gained and are working night and day
for the accomplishment of their object.
The orange growers of Florida have been
notified by their friends in Washington
that it would be to their interest to send
a representative there who would look
after their interests, explain their reasons
for wanting the increase of duty to the
committee, and do everything else posi-
BILE to procure the passage of the bill in
creasing the tariff
At the Ocala meeting of the Horticul-
tural Society the matter was informally
discussed oy some of the members, and

the Florida producers have clear mar
ket to place their fruit; their realized val
ue is for the fruit on it's merit, and no
duty on the foreign article can increase
or decrease the value of the home pro-
productions.

OF one thing the interior of the State
has especial occasion to be proud, and
that is that it sent to San Francisco this
week representatives of the best citizen
ship, and the metropolitans have, there
fore, no reason whatever to complain to
that they were afflicted. If only Sacra-
mento could speak so well of their neigh
Dor of the chief city of the State. In fair
weeks San Francisco sends US, along with
goodly numbers of her best, flood of her
worst elements. In fact, the rough charac-
ters of the metropolis are spewed upon the
interior in the State and District fair
weeks, and on other occasions of public as
sembling Of the people. The exchange Of
the interior on Admission was such con-
trast as reflects upon the latter the highest
credit. OF course the people of San Fran
cisco cannot much control this matter.
Great cities are always hives for the vicious
classes and those who prey upon human
kind. They win make raids from such
vantage points whenever occasion offers,
and the inAiction must be borne. At the
same time the people of great cities, in crit
icising the presence of these low elements
in interior places on gala occasions, should
moderate their utterances by reason of the
fact that the very class against whom they
vituperate belong to the larger human
hives and issue from them.

THE passage of the tariff bill by the
Senate enlisted for the affirmative every
Republican vote. The bill in its entirety
as finally passed, we have not, of course,
seen, but if we are to accept the claims of
its friends, it is TO work industrial changes
of greatly beneficial character, stimulat-
ing labor, production and manufactures on
the one hand and striking from our reve
nue. system a great deal Of useless tax up
on imports. 1t is thus, according to the
expression OF its advocates, revenue-re-
ducing measure, without an invasion TO an
appreciable extent of the protective prin-
ciple the Republican party has made an
article of its faith. Precisely what will
be the operation Of the bin if it is ap-
proved no theorizing can determine The
country must wait for the response of trade
industry and production, the verdict of
which will know no political color. From
what We have been enabled to gather of
the final amendments the bill as passed
is much superior to It's original form, and
with few exceptions viii meet with more
of the approval of the people than is now
claimed for it-certainly very much more
than the Democracy is willing to give it
credit for.
Sacramento daily record-union., 1890-09-12

THE San Francisco papers are just now
engaged in the task of figuring" out how
much money was disbursed by the 10000
visitors to the metropolis during the Ad-
mission Day exercises. Cautious estimates
place the total at s., 100000. But this is
below the real figure, since to put 500 as
the per capita output is too little. Let us
say that San Francisco benefited to the
extent of $l,70O.OO0 by the celebration,
and we shall still be below the mark. But
would it not be more modest for the press
of that city to refrain from such calcula-
tions? We think SO, since the figuring up
of the gains takes the edge from the hos
pitality of the city.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.

The people OF the Second Congressional
District have an opportunity of being rep
resented in Congress by strong man. The
Hon. George G. Blanchard, of Plaeerville
having accepted the Republican nomina-
tion, is willing to go to Congress, and if
he gees, will be one of the very best repre-
sentatives that the State has ever had in
that body.
As rule, men of frst-class power, mind
and character, do not seek Congressional
nominations The Congressional delega-
tions, with a few rare exceptions, do not
represent the highest intelligence, or the
most elevated character, of the States
from which they come. When complaint
is made to the leading men of the nation
of neglect of California interests, the
answer always comes, Why don't you send
delegation here who know something of
the wants of your people; or who appear
to care about them?
Judge Blanchard is as thoroughly ac-
quainted with the wants of California as
any man who lives in it to-day. If he is
willing to serve the people of his own dis
trict in Congress, they ought to be willing
to elect him almost unanimously.
He is opposed by gentleman by the
name Of Caminetti, who possesses no high
qualification in any direction, and beyond
some small degree of success as chronic
place-hunter, has achieved no distinction
ON any field. His election to Congress
would be misfortune to the State. 1t
would be the simple waste of an oppor-
tunity. His presence in that body would
never be noted. His influence would be
at zero, and his chief use and occupation
would be to draw his per diem and mile
age. The Democratic party of the Second
District certainly had no expectation of
electing him, or they would never have
given him the nomination. The contrast
between Blanchard and Caminetti is about
as striking as could have been produced.
1t is the difference between strength and
weakness, competency and incompetency,
character and nothingness.

during all the long period in which he
boasted of his devotion to the Republic of
France. We never believed him to be
other than the tool of the aristocracy, the
cafs-paw of Monarchists and Royalists and
Imperialists. Now come revelations that
show the man in his true colors as living
lie, a scheming Royalist, who all these
years has been posing for effect, and seek
ing power only to enable him to deliver
France into the hands of kings and
princes. The expose did not come SO soon
as we expected. but it is crushing and ire
futable. The man stands at last un-
masked, and as traitor to the cause of
the republic
