TO LOCAL CAPITALISTS.

There is an abundance of idle cap
ital in Tallahassee, which, if invested
in the establishment of small indus
tries, would pay investors handsome
profits and change the city and sur
rounding country from its present
quiet, sleepy appearance into bust
ling, progressive, industrial region,
putting money into circulation and
giving employment to men, women
and children.
Then why let your capital lie idle:
Why not invest it where it will bene-
fit you and your town as we'll?
Try this plan. You will be sur
prised to see the good results that
will flow from it.
There are numerous small indus
tries which can be successfully oper-
ated with very little capital. Why
not start them going?
Why not start small factory for
the manufacture of cheap furniture:
We have plainly of hard woods and
there is always a good local demand
for such things.
Why not esta blish a knitting fac
tory and make hosiery and under
wear? The cotton is grown right
here and the cost OF transportation OF
the raw material would be saved.
Why not establish a factory for
the manufacture of wagon material
tubs, buckets, etc?
Why not start that canning fac
tory?
Why would it not pay to put in
al evaporation and thus preserve the
surplus supply ofpears:
Why not establish lime works on
the liue Of the St. Marks railway?
And why not start few more
cigar foctories?
Why not have a cotton seed OF
mill and soap factory combined?
Why should we not have cream
cry?
There is money in all these indus
tries and Tallahassee should hav,
them.
Unite your purse strings.

CONNLSSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
From the Gainesville Sun.
GAINESVILLE, Fla, March 2S.-MR.
EDITOR: AS the time appears to have
arrived to advance names to fill Offices
of public trust, beg that you give
me space in your valuable paper to
present the names now and then Of
some OF my favorites.
One of the first, one of the most
important, and one affecting more
directly and largely the interest of
the whole people of the state, ia that
of Commissioner Of Agriculture.
To fill the position as it should be
requires more than an ordinary man.
1t requires more than the SIM
pie distributing of seeds, the collection
of agricultural statistics and the look
ing after the farming interests Of
Florida, as some people are
led to believe.

FLORIDA AT THE FAIR.
Mr.. Arther G. Jackson's Gazateer

Mr.. Arther G. Jackson's Gazateer
plan for raising money to make a
Florida exhibit at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition is going to be
success. Mr.. Jackson is an ener-
getic worker and has taken hold of
the matter with the determination to
win. This week Governor Fleming
appointed Mr.. Jackson and Joseph
Hirst to be state commissioners to
the Worlds Fair, for the special pur-
pose of pushing this plan and putting
it into successful operation. They
will begin work at once and will call
to their aid the national commiss-
toner's of the state and the lady
managers.
Mr.: Jackson will return to ITALIA
hassee in few days for the purpose
of organizing Leon County Worlds
Fair association. He will also make
thorough canvass of the state.
By this plan county commissioners
can appropriate money for so many
pages of advertisement or "write-up"
of the advantages and resources of
their respective counties in the
Gazateer, and there will be no ques-
ton as to the legality of the act.
Advertising the merits of county
for the purpose of inducing new
settlers to come in is unquestionably
a "county purpose;' and appropria
tons for county purposes are author
lied by law.
The county commissioners of Leon
county should discuss the question
at their next meeting. Florida will
be at the fair and we want Leon
county and Tallahassee to be as we'll
represented as any other county and
town.

THE way for the democratic party
20 win this year is told in convincing
language by Hon. William L.Wilson
IN the April Forum. He says that
'luty demands two things at the
lands of the democratic party in the
presidential campaign of 1892: First,
he adoption of clear and unambig-
nous tariff-reform platform, and a
rampaign made upon that platform
s'one, with the exclusion of issues on
which the party itself is split and the
country undoubtedly against it;
secondly, the nominations of candl-
iates whose names and characters
give the people the unmistakable
guaranty that they represent 10 per.
son all that the platform sets forth

of Commissioner of Agriculture
it is necessary to be posted in all the
land laws, both state and federal, and
with all the proceedings of the board
of trustees of the Internal Improve
ment Fund for the past forty years.
He must also be we'll versed in the
the matters of fertilizers and familiar
with the states prison work.
There is no man in this state or any
other state better suited to fill the
position than the present incumbent,
L. B. Wombwell of Jackson county,
Florida. He has a peculiar ability
for this kind of work. He is familiar
with all the routine and all the ex-
pedients of the Office. He is oblig-
ing, he is accommodating, he is
prompt in answering all communi-
cations and imparting all necessary
information. He is now busily and
laboriously engaged in correcting,
TRANSFERRING and simplifying the
states record, which is a very i'm
portant matter and one in which all
of our people are very deeply inter-
ested. Hence if he continues in this
Office he will have the records so COM
plete and Systematically arranged
that any one can refer to them quick
ly and Understandings.
Aside from this L. B. Wombwell
has always been a hard worker in
the ranks of democracy. His quick
sympathy with the instincts and i'm
pulses of the masses has always rem
dered him deservedly popular and
the people can do no better thing
than to re-elect him Commissioner
of Agriculture-an office which he
has filled with credit to himself and
to the entire satisfaction Of the state
