The Republican party, claiming to
be the high protection party, Is
nevertheless not in favor of protect
ing sugar for the sake of protection.
On the contrary, two years ago, in or
der to meet the cry for the reduction Of
the surplus, it placed sugar on the free
list. For the first time since the es-
tablisment of our tariff system, sugar
is found on the free list. Not a cent
is paid for the importation of sugar; it
enjoys perfect free trade under this
new Republican d~lspensation.
True, to make up the loss and to
encourage the lingering industry, the
bounty system has been ina~ugurated,
by which the sugar industry receives
incidental protection in the shape of a
direct gratnity from the government.
Should the bounty system grow too
unpopular, what assurances have we
that the Republican party will not be
tie first to seek its repeal And if it
should be repealed, what have we to
expect from that party Which stands
committed to free sugar.
Now, under the Democratic doctrine
of tariff for revenue, it is true that su-
gar would receive its protection only
incidentally, but it would receive it in
a way that Is not intolerabIe to the
American people. Sugar has always
received this Incidental protection ~
der Democratic tariff measures i; it re-
ceiyed it IN former years it was pro-
posed to give it under the Morrison
horizontal bill, under the Mills bill it
vas never once proposed in any Demo-
cratic measure TO put sugar on the
free list and, Judging of the future
by the past, We have an abiding faith
in the Democratic party always to
grant sugar this incidental protection
under its system of tariff for revenue.
This system, unlike the bounty sys-
tenn, is not obnoxious to American no.
tions. and consequently bids fair to be
of longer duration and of more per-
manence. Of the two, it offers the
surer protection to the sugar industry,
and it would seem the part of wisdom
to send one indoctrinated with the
views of the party unfolding this sys-
TEN to represent us in the next con
gress- 1t is best, in other words, to
keep to the old moorings to which we
have held fast so manyyears. The in
clination to seek after strange gods is
premature let it be repressed in time,
lest great evil should come to US.
Let the demon of unrest and dis
cord.in the Democratic ranks be choked
at once, and let the Democratic hosts
rally round the old banner of Demo-
cratic principles, and closing ranks,
once more march to success in the
coming election. Let no man lag or
hesitate ; this is no time to- prove
traitor to the cause ; every mans
loyalty should be above suspicion.

KEEP TO THE OLD MOOR
INGH.

Soon the choice of Il proper man to
represent. the Third Congressional
DfAerict in the next congress will be
upon 8 sfn earnest. Already the Con-
gressianal Committee of the Democra-
tic party has been convoked for an
early date, to designate the. time and
place of the nominating convention,
and when that is done the tight for
the selection of delegates will open. A
number Of prominent Democrats from
various sections of the district have
been spoken Of in connection with the
nomination. Most OF these whose
names have been mentioned favorably
by their friends and admirers, possess
the qualities to make good representa-
t.ves, and would, if elected, no doubt
serve The district with benefit and ad-
vantage to their constituents and Gre
dit to themselves.
On the other hand, rumors are rife
of a movement, engineered by some
misguided and deluded sugar planters,
to send a Republican from this district
to protect the sugar interest. How
much importance is to be attached to
such rumors. or whether there be any
truth in them, we are not yet in a posi-
ton to tell ; but one thing seems GER
tain to us, and that is, that no more
serious error could be committed than
to send a Republican fiom this district
to the next Congress. Send d Re-
publican to protect the sugar interest,
forsooth when the Republican party
itself put sugar in it's present precarious
state.
Have men such short memories when
their purse is threatened that they for
get who it was that first put its con-
tents in danger and made their alb
straction possible
Send a Republican to Congress to
protect the sugar Interestingly, pray 7
AZ sle last Republican Congress, aided
and abetted by a Republican Presl-
dent, protected sugar-by putting it on
the free list and favoring it with a
bounty which they knew would be OBJ
nox,ous to the American people, and
that would be antagonized from the
START
And now that the coming storm is
gathering from the wind sown by Re
publican animosity to our industry
and threatens the bounty from which
that INDUSTRY derived incidental pro.
lection, it would seem the height Of
folly to return a Republican to attemp,
to avert the threatened ruin by adding
to AID stirring the whirlwind.

~WEATHER.CROP BULLETIN.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING JULY 10 '92.

Showers have been general through
out the state during the week Just
past ; thev have varied at the differ
emit stations both in frequency and
amount, but, taken as a whole, the
weeks rainfall has been below the
normal. The temperature has been
slightly below the normal, the daily
deficiency being about two degrees.
The days have for the most part been
partly cloudy, giving a slight excess of
sunshine.
CROPS.
The prevalence of showers has pre-
vented field work from becoming gem
eral, but in the hill country the ground
is dry enough to allow farmers to clean
out the crops. Low lands continue
very grassy, with but little prospect
for blowing for at least a week to come.
The cotton stalk has grown too rapid
Is. especially in the bottoms, and it is
feared that twill not fruit as it should.
On the uplands the cotton is beginning
to boil. With dry weather to permit
chopping out, the prospects for cotton
will be good, but unless the grass is
500 removed it will materially de-
crease the yield.
Cane has not suffered as much from
excessive rains as was at first suppos-
ed ; some stubble has turned yellow
where the ground was not thoroughly
drained, but with favorable weather,
even at this late date, it will overcome
the setback. The planters in the su-
gar region managed to put in about
two days of blowing during the week,
and a week of dry weather would suf-
fee to lay by the entire crop.
The condition of rice continues as
heretofore reported-excellent in eve-
ry respect. The acreage is unusually
large, and estimates now made place
the anticipated yield above that Of
any previous year.
Planting has been pretty general in
the overflowed districts /; with ~favora-
BILE conditions about one-half of an
average crop will be made in those
sections.
Dry weather and an average tenn.
perature 10 needed during the coming
week. E. C. EASTON,
Assistant in Charge.

KeIiher Again.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN Your issue of
January 4th, in which appears my COM
munication in behalf of the Brotherhood
of Railway Carmen, reached me. Please
accept thanks for your kindness in in
sorting same. l see in more recent
issue further resolutions adopted by the
Federated Trades. 1t is not my desire to
enter into any controversy with the Fed
Grated Trades or any other organization
OF working men, but | do like to be
honestly understood, and in going fur
Their into this matter viii! only explain
one point in which the Federated Trades
have again mlSrepreSented us, and that
IS in regard to the insurance, our benefic-
larry department. The Federated Trades
or rather one of the delegates present,
say that we claim membership of 5000 /:
at the death of member of our order
the surviving mem bers are assessed from
81 to s. 30, according to age, and that this
would yield from $4,000 to $40. GOO, but
that all the heirs of the dead get is 81, 900.
Now, the party responsible for this as
sertion, in order to make it, must have
read our laws; if he did so, he would un-
derst2nd that this insurance is not COM
pulsory upon our membership, and that
in no case would an assessment be made
while there is $1,000 or more in the in
surance fund.
l viii state further for their informa-
ton that this department was only added
at our last convention and went into
force November LIST, 80 you will well I'M
derstand how impossible it would be to
get all our members to join in SO short
time where it is not made compulsory,
but left to their own judgment to join or
not as they saw fit. The Brotherhood of
Railway Carmen are perfectly willing
that the Federated Trades of Sacramento
should discuss the order, but we would
kindly ask that they would read our con-
sdtution if they intend quoting from it
for arguments, and that when they do so
that they quote US honestly. / made no
statements in my former communication
that We're not based upon facts. The
Federated Trades can make and pass res
buttons and the Brotherhood of Railway
Carmen will continue to organize the
carmen, and when they are satisfied that
we are in the field to stay, and that we
are striving to aid and assist our mem
bers, protect their rights and promote the
cause of the wage-earner generally, they
will find that the brotherhood has none
but friendly feelings toward them. We
have something of more importance to
occupy our time than fighting our sister
organizations. S. KELLER,
Grand Secretary and Treasurer.

ground, and over ground which would
be and originally was a natural water
course. This is not a fact. AS elected
from the case lately tried before Judge
Henry, the natural surface waters leav-
ing this city were spread out over the
country Immediately adjacent to and
south of the city, forming numerous
pools, which, when filed, overlooked TO
the south. By that means, and the nat
ural percolatiOns into the soil and eyap-
orations, not % per cent, it's maintained,
ever reached the Pocket Further it
was shown that the natural surface at the
canal crossing on the Riverside road is
four feet higher than the natural surface
at its initial point at Sixth and streets;
that near Freeport hardpan ridge was
cut through nineteen feet deep and half
mile long to allow Of the waters to run
south.
''As noted in recent interview with
MIR. Knox, eX-City Trustee, there is fall,
according to ex-City Engineer Il. Z. Bas-
sets survey, Of about six feet to low
water at SnodgrasS Slough, a distance OF
about twenty-six miles. This was prac-
tically proved TO be correct, after
survey made by me, by order of
the City Trustees and Board of Super
yIsors. Then, as it is well-known
TACT that there is g difference in SnodgraSS
Slough of eleven feet between high and
NV NeALC4s II BlCNtS NC Ollu
that during said high water in Snodgrass
Slough there would be a fall tof0ard this
city of five feet, and this same high water
occurs every year at just the time when
the city most needs an efficient canal for
drainage and sewerage purposes.
SOME CoNUNDRUMs.
"The first question naturally asked by
any intelligent citizen then would be:
Why did the city ever lend its financial
aid toward constructing the canal? It, of
necessity and naturally, would be in
efficient as means of carrying off the
drainage and sewage of this city, from
the weli-known natural law that water
viii not of itself run up hill.
I'VE strenuously object to parties liv-
ing along the river north of the city dis
posing of their sewage and offal, dis
eased cattle, etc. in the river. With what
grace, them and by what reason of right
do we, as admitted by Major McLaugh-
lin, pump our filth into The river at Front
and Y streets, as is done every year dur
ing the summer and fall months? In the
event of a decision adverse to the city
being rendered iii the approaching law
suits, how shall we dispose of our drain
age and sewage? Is is the same question
which engaged our citizens attention
some seven or eight months ago.
The landowners living south of the
city will undoubtedly take such steps in
the near future as to precipitate a lawsuit
and, whatever the outcome, the city
should be prepared to meet it,"

A Lively Skating Race at the Rink
Coming Events.
There was another large crowd at the
Skating Rink Saturday evening. The
event of the evening was mile race for
the championship and purse between
Frank Delano and William Feno. These
men are both very fast skaters, but the
friends of Delano, as we'll as Delano him
self, were more than confident that Feno
would not be in it."
Feno, however, had been cultivating
his speed on the rollers, and went in to
win when he contested with DeIano. The
race started off in a lively fashion, but
Feno soon demonstrated his superiority
and left Delano far behind. Feno did not
exert himself after once getting good
lead, and won easily in four minutes and
six seconds.
Next Saturday evening Arthur King
will try conclusions with Feno On the
same evening the lady skaters, Eva
Whipple and Maud Cameron will race
for medal. Miss Whipple has defeated
Miss Cameron once, but the latter wants
another trial.
