Raisin Growers Combining.

Nearly all the raisins made in this
country are produced in the neighbor-
hood Of Fresno, Cal Last year McKin-
ley raised the duty on raisins from to "a
cents per pound, which is equal to 81 per
cent. Of the value of imported raisins.
Now the raisin growers of Fresno are or
ganizing, having recently formed what
they call protective association on the
cooperative plan" 1t is announced that
they will have packing houses and officers
in charge of members of the association.
which will handle all the raisins grown
by the members. At a meeting lately
held in Fresno it was stated that the
members present controlled from GOO 900
to 100000 boxes, which TO some extent
held the market Invitations were sent
to all the growers and packers in the
county, but none of the packers Except
some who are growers ALSO attended.
1t was therefore decided that packers
should be ignored in making up the
membership.
Whether this organization means an
advance in prices is not yet clear, though
such result may naturally be looked
for. The California raisins are of a su-
perior quality, command the highest
prices Of all the raisins in the market,
and are hence bought by people who
will have the best Of everything regard
less Of cost. The foreign raisins are prin-
cipally of poorer quality and are sold
at lower price. They are the raisins of
the poorer people. 1t is not at all neces-
sary to protect California raisins, as they
sell readily at high prices both in the
home and foreign markets; but is it Just
that the raisins of the poorer people
should be increased in price by over 60
per cent. in order that the California
raisin growers may add to their already
large prOtitsy

DEAR CHICAGO.

As travelled from Chicago to the city Of New
York
practiced in the dining car at eating with my
fork,
For journalistic brother, whose career had
been begun
Back in Gotham (he had worked, of course,
with Dana on The SUM,
Volunteered the information that it wasn't
worth my while
To invade the eastern centers with my woody
western style.
So / strove to square my manners with the
manners of the east,
And in hunger left the table, where might
have had a feast.
For a month or two I've wandered solitary IL
the crowd,
Ever missing, ever longing for the sight of
something loud
Any old familiar figure with his brooches in
his boots,
And his skin,chockful of liquor and of liberty
and boots:
Every day walk the avenue and look in vain
for him
Who wears the air of freedom and the hat of
gorgeous brim.
Every night try my latchkey in dozen doors
or so,
For the houses are as like as bricks assembled
in a row.
And yearn for dear Chicago where the folks
are made Of meat,
And man can beg tubaccuh from a stranger
on the street.
One night 1 strolled around to Herrmann's
theater to see
II Billy Morton managed it and still remem-
bered me-
But, 10, they'd never heard OF Billy Morton,
Though Mr.. William Morton gave me welcome
as of old.
He put me in a box, as he out west had used
10 do,
And in compliment to him sat the whole per-
Torrance through;
But felt westward yearning as | thought
how | was wont
Out there to hear the whistlinG and the cries
OF Down in 'front.'"
When the lady in the drama shrieked, I'm
hand me, sir" and then
The hero came and mopped the stage with half
dozen men;
How, when the show was over, had gone to
Billy Boyle's,
The chop house in the alley, where you get two
kinds of broils;
Where they brew deal of trouble and deal
Of whisky punch,
And you watch Pleasant shooting scrape
the while you eat your lunch.
Oh, how long to be out west, to feel once more
at ease,
Where every one respects your right to go it as
you please;
Where even if your wife objects to your cratic
couyse
You can step right in most anywhere and get
a cheap divorce;
Where literar: culture knocks the spots from
old New York,
And poetry goes gayly hand in hand with
packing pork;
Where rare editions may be found and schol-
ars who can tell EN-;
Where Field gets both his Horace and his
sausage bound in Vellum
I'd like to go and live and die where men and
women are,
And where the one gives up his seat t'nther
in the car
I'd like to so, and so would, but-here's what
makes me sad
Bill Nye has written in TO say the walkings
dretful bad.

Smuggling Our Sugar into Canada.

The removal Of the duty on sugar has
made that article so much cheaper with
Us than In Canada, where duty of from
one TO two cents a pound is collected,
that an extensive smuggling business has
recently sprung up. In Canada the tariff
is recognized as tax, and the people try
to avoid paying it. American refined
sugar is now six dollars per barrel cheaper
than sugar refined in Canada, and this
difference in price is too strong tempta-
ton for the smuggler to resist.
The Montreal Trade Bulletin expresses
its fears that the legitimate trade of
the country will continue to suffer i'm
mensely through strong combine of
international smugglers who are bound
to elude the vigilance of the customs,
owing TO the vast extent of territory the
contraband traders can cover in conduct
ing their operations. WHAT'S most feared
is that the opportunities and facilities
for landing schooner loads of sugar in
the many coves and creeks which abound
on the coast of the maritime provinces
will be fully availed of, and that i'm,
mense quantities of sugar will find their
way into the country from that direc-
ton"
