THE NEW YEAR.

We have no disposition to travel over
the well-worn grounds of uasge and indulge
in platitudes Of advice suitable to the ad-
vent of new year. On the contrary, we
have an idea that the time is its own suffi-
Gent sermon. We in California, as do
men everywhere in the land, will make
numerous good resolutions, and turn over
new, clean and unspotted pages. May
they all so remain, and may every worthy
resolution be adhered to. But what all
we can say, in common with all others, is
that the new year comes in full of promise
to California it bears upon its wings no
tidings of i'll, no news Of business depres-
sion, no menace of failure of crops, no
other promise than that of good. For this
let US be thankful, and in the full realiza-
tion of the splendid heritage we enjoy,
wish each other sincerely Happy New
Year

THE BEST MEANS FOR THE FARMER

If the wealth of the country is con-
stantly increasing, why is it that the
farmers are steadily growing poorer? Why
is soil-tilling becoming less and less re-
munerative? Why are farmers being more
deeply, every year, submerged in an ocean
of mortgages? Because, for the main
reason, legislation and political manage
ment have, at the expense of the producer.
conserved the interests of trusts, rings,
combines, manufacturers and congested i'll
directed wealth. The unprotected farmer
consumes what the manufacturers stipu.
late he shall, and at the prices they name.
The bosses and combines, the political
thimble-riggers, and the wise men who
can see no further than the party wall,
treat the farmer as the forgotten man.
As a result, he is not even consulted as to
the means of securing market abroad for
that we produce to the best advantage
indeed, he is not consulted by them about
much of anything. Now this forgotten
man, who sees his sons fleeing to towns and
cities and getting into the swim with the
bosses and political managers, and engag-
ing in trade in preference to cultivating
the soil, is proposing change of policy,
and that his demands are forcible is evil
denced by the attempts of the two great
parties, each to convince him that theirs
is the only safe and certain route to success
each standing ready to promise him any
thing if he will but join hands with it and
cease his plants about inability to produce
under the conditions that obtain. and at
the same time made both ends meet. But
the farmer demands an export trade, to be
fostered and stimulated, and the best
means to that end is reciprocity. He de-
Anands that the tariff shall not shut him
out of the worlds markets, but that we
shall open UP basis of common interest
in every market of the world to our pro-
ducts which we can enter to advantage.
Under the principles of reciprocity these
ends can be accomplished with the nearest
approach to even justice attainable.

IT is noticeable that journals East and
West, which little time ago were intoler-
ant of reciprocity, and insisted that it
meant free trade only, are now, with some
degree of sobriety, discussing the subject
and not few of them are beginning to
admit that "there may be virtue in it."
Unless We wholly mistake the drift OF
public thought, the course of reason and
the logic of trade, this nation will declare
its policy to be TO encourage exports and
ihus protect home industry, by fostering
reciprocity. That is to say, whenever we
can free list an import that We do not
produce to the best advantage, upon the
express condition that the nation thus
importing to US, in return, gives US free
entry to its market for some commodity
which it does not produce to best adyan-
tage, but which we do.

Senator Dolph of Oregon moved resolu-
ton of inquiry whether any State denies
by law or restricts the right of citizen
male suffrage because of color. There
upon Senator Vest proposed an amend

whether any State by law has prohibited
the employment of colored citizens upon

hibits the employment of negroes upon
any public work.
