No More Empties Returned.

The New York Fruit and prodnc.
association of New York CITY. has de-
cIared that it will no longer retrrr
crates IN which berries and fruity h.
oeen shipped, and that the psckags
must go with the fruit. The As.ocja.
uon has issued the following circular
letter TO growers
DEAR SIRs This circular is issra5
oy the above association to advis.
growers and shippers of berries and
tne manufacturers of berry crates to
prepare for non-returnable or oif
crate. s"'
II has been the custom Of the com.
mission merchants in the past, when
selling berries, to demand the return
OF the empty crate, and to insure this
require a deposit from the buyer
ms custom can no longer be en-
forced. The organized and Unbranded
buyers have determined thev will M
longer endure the losses which tho
system OF returning crates has inflicted
upon them.
"en perry crates were expensive
we could enforce our demand for dc.
poslt, but row there are several av.u-
able styles Of gift crates, and sales in
the future made for the return Of the
crate, will require n sacrifice in the
price of the fruit.
Last spring fierce demand was
made upon the receivers of berries nv
organized retail grOcers of this citv |
and Brooklyn, numbering several thou.
ana for an immediate change to the
gilt or non'returnable crate. A COM e
hlttee OF our merchants met a commit. e
zee OF the grocers and appealed to the /
a'ter Tor years time to enable the
grower to prepare for the change. $
The commission merchants have re. "
lsted the change until in their iudg-
nent all interests would be hest servod D
y It, and they now fully believe the
me has come when the package must W
o with the contents. We are power.
'sS to refuse the reasons or resist the
'rces that demand it. Our plain duty r
lerefore, is to give you this timely :
otlce. The gift crate will make little
any increased cost to the simmer, y

The middle of January is a little
early for the inevitable annual reports
about the destruction of the Delaware
peach crop to begin, but this year there
seems to be much better reason than
usual for fearing that the peach trees
have suffered serious hurt. The tenn
perature has been below zero in Della.
ware this week, and it is altogether
probable that the tender peach trees
have been injured, even though the
buds had not begun to swell. The
failure of the crop of peaches in that
state would be most regretable, but
the country has survived its destruc-
tiOn in previous years with praise
worthy fortitude, and has become so
sceptical regarding reports on this sub

The advocate and Topeka tribune. [volume] (Topeka, Kan.) 1892-1894, 1893-04-05
OFFICIAL STATE PAPER.

The executive council, at it's meet
ing on March 20, designated the AD-
vocATE as the official state paper for
the term Of one year. In consequence
of that act, this paper will, during its
term, contain all official notices re-
curing publication, the supreme
court syllabi, and all acts of the Leg
islsture, except the few that have
been published, and those which have
no provision for newspaper publica-
.tion.
While this is not lucrative APP
pointment, we appreciate this act OF
the council, which is not only recog-
milton of the papers merit, but also
of the wants of the Kansas people.
For the ADVOCATE can and viii give
the official printing a more general
circulation than any other paper IN
the state could give without largely
increasing its circulation. For some
years this printing has been done by
daily papers which circulated prin-
cipslly in the towns and cities on the
main lines of railway, and in order to
get it the expenditure of from Sc to
SO a year for paper was necessary.
Now the person who takes only a
weekly can have the official paper,
while those who take a daily can GER
tainly afford to invest another dollar
and get the ADVOCATE, which will con-
tinue to expound good PopuliSt doc
trine and give the official news. Like
all reform papers, this one has
travelled a rocky road, and while the
pay we expect to receive for this
printing will not compensate us for
the tribulahons of the past, it will at
least help us to continue the work in
which we and our many thousands Of
readers are so deeply interested.

will do it in defiance of law, and this
Will be the case SO long as there is
profit in the traffic and SO long as
that profit accrues to individuals and
corporations. In this as in other
things a complete revolution is the
only remedy.
In Ohio and in Massachusetts q
plank has been incorporated in the
platform of the Peoples party favor
ing the naturalization of the entire
business, both the manufacture and
sale of liquors of every description.
The NeaU Nation has been a leader
IN the championship of this PROPOSE
ton as being in accord with the gen.
eral principles Of nstionslism. The
New York Voice, the leading prohi-
bition organ of the country, on the
other hand, has been opposed to it,
and these two able journals have
carried on a somewhat lively discus
sion of their differences, in which, in
our judgment, the Nea0 Nation has
the best of the argument upon the
question of naturalization. While
this is true, the Voice undoubtedly is
ahead in the proposition of compro-
mise by which the reform forces may
get together upon this question. The
argument of the NeaV Nation against
this proposition is decidedly weak,
nor can it be reinforced with any
thing better. In our Judgment the
proposition which was first submitted
by 7. @. Richmond, of Madison,
Wisconsin, and assented to by the
Voice in the issue of January 26,
1893, is not only fair but it is sbso-
lutely unassailable, and the Ne,O No
tio1p would do well to accept it as a
basis Of agreement if the anti-saloon
forces can be united upon it. It is
as follows:
We believe that the traffic in liquor for
beverage purposes is inimical to the pub
lilo welfare, and ought to be suppressed. AS
a step in this direction, we advocate the
public conduct of the business until such
time as q majority of the voters in any state
declare for it's entire suppression.
Now let us examine this PROPOSE
ton candid-y and carefully. It first
declares a belief that "the traffic in
liquor for beverage purposes is inlmi-
cal to the public welfare" Will the
NeaO Nation, or will anybody else
deny tins? Can anybody on earth
name any good that ever grew out of
itH Last week we quoted brief par
sgrsph from private letter written
by an eminent attorney in western
Pennsylvania to the writer relating
to his personal experience at the bar,
as follows:
/ am now engaged in my ninetieth homi-
eide case, seventy-four of which were the
direct result Of whisky.
This is the testimony of only one
attorney practicing in the criminal
courts. Every other attorney could
corroborste the testimony from his
personal experience. 1t is a well
known fact, also, that q very large
The advocate and Topeka tribune. [volume] (Topeka, Kan.) 1892-1894, 1893-04-05

party has declared for government
ownership of railroads, of telegrsphs
and telephones, the establishment of
government banks of deposit and OK
change, and the issue of the entire
circulating medium of thu country
directly from the government to the
people.
It is a fact of which any thought
full and observant person may be
thoroughly satisfied by fair and i'm
partial examination of the subject,
that it will eventually become requi-
site to include many other things IN
this demand for public ownership
and control. Whenever it becomes
necessary to correct any abuse that
exists as a result of the exercise of
corporate power, it is useless to pre-
scribe halfway remedies. That
remedy which eternally wipes the
corporation from the face of the earth
will alone correct the abuses it has
prscticed, and the whisky syndlcates
and brewery combines cannot be ex-
cepted from the general application
to this rule. It is Of the highest i'm
portance that all opponents of the
infamous traffic in human souls
through the curse of drink should get
together upon this subject, and that
without delay.
There is q large and perfectly
conscientious element of the Ameri-
can people that has honestly sought
for many years to overcome the evil
by prohlbitory legislation; and, while
much has admittedly been accom-
plished by this method, it will be
conceded by all who have carefully
watched the experiment that it falls
very far short of the complete victory
that was hoped to be attained. Manu-
facturers Of llquors,ss we have shown,
have been accorded great privileges
by the general government. Their
profits are immense, and they watch
with q jealous eye every proposed
measure in any state that is likely to
curtail their trade or affect their in
forests. They enter into political
contests and form alliances with po-
liticsl parties wherever possible, in
order to protect their interests. It
may be set down as a maxim that will
admit Of no question, that wherever
and whenever any political party is
receiving the support of those who in
any way favor the liquor traffic, they
expect to profit in some way by the
success of that party; and, further,
all the INSCRIPTIONS methods with
which they are so familiar will be
employed to insure that success. We
might here go INTO detailed account
of the methods that have been en-
ployed to defeat all measures in any
way lnjuriouSly affecting their trade.
We have the data for such presen-
tation; but it will hardly be called in
question, and we will not introduce
it now. It is simply desired to
