"The Secretary on the instant wrote
letter to Senator Harris warning the
Senate that, If sugar was made free
the treasury would be threatened with a
deficit of s2s,0OO, 900. This estimate
ran directly in conflict with the
figures which the treasury officials had
furnished to the Senate finance commit
tee only short time before, and even
II the new appraisement had been be-
yond dispute, probable deficit of $685.
100000 was but very poor argument
for infiicting upon the people direct
and indirect tax of $4,000, 900. But.
unsound as was the plea, the letter did
its work. 1t killed the free sugar bill as
dead as Julius Caesar"
Mr.. Carlisle probably did not receive
any money for his labors in behalf of
the Sugar Trust. but his party did. and
having sold itself to the Sugar Trust. il
had to have a scapegoat on whom to
shift the responsibility. Mr.. Carlisle
fastened to become this scapegoat. He
not only interfered in the first
place when the sugar schedules
were under consideration and forced the
present schedules, imposing an enormous
tax upon the people, but when his
schedule was in danger he rushed to its
assistance with his letter which, as The
Herald truly saws, "killed the free sugar
bill as dead as julius Cesar"
But Mr.. Carlisle certainly did not do
all this on his own responsibility. He
was not the chief executive and upless
he correctly represented the feeling of
his chief his schedule would never have
been adopted nor his last letter been
allowed to go without contradiction.
The idea that a subordinate would be |
to misrepresent the principles
Of his chief on matter Of SO grave inn
portance Is preposterous, especially
when that chief IL Grover Cleveland.
MIR. Cleveland's own letter in which he
approaches the delicate subject, is
proof that Mr.. Carlisle had behind him
the approval Of the President in his
ightin behalf Of the bgsugar monopoly.

The Boston Herald does not suspect,
so it says, that Secretary Carlisle has
been corruptly influenced by the Sugar
Trust, but it is ''free to say that if he
had received 100000 for his letter to
Senator Harris. we should be willing to
give him certificate that the money
was fully earned. That letter broke the
back of the Free Sugar bill. 1t fur

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re,
Gently purchased twelve thousand =cres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre. in subdivisions OF
40, 80, 40, l6o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an.
nuaI installments. Thus no part of the prin.
cipal is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in.
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality st SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to corre-
gpond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject OF this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
plishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this

WHAT NIGHT BE DONE,

"What can be done with the army of
dependents camped in our midst?" is
question asked on all sides.
It has been settled, as the RECORD
UNION has declared it would be, that the
municipality can do nothing. It has not
the legal power to help the men on their
way; if it had the power it has not the
money. 1t would take one-fifth of all we
raise by taxation in year for city gov
ernment to pay their way East at lowest
emigrant rates. If we had the power
and the money it would be unwise to act
as these strangers ask, an act of injustice
to the taxpayers and of cruelty to our
own poor.
What, then. shall be done? The men
must be fed until they disperse. If they
are driven by hunger to acts of vagrancy
we will then have to support them as
prisoners. 1t might be we'll, therefore,
to consider if by any possibility a fund
can be raised by solicitation or otherwise
to put these men to work. The offer Of
employment will speedily test their
quality. Actual employment will en-
able them to subsist decently until they
can secure work of a better character
than can be offered them here.
If the fund can be secured and the men
set to work preparing macadam, which
will be of use and value to US at any
time, they could be paid small sum per
day, fed from a common economic
kitchen and sheltered in constructions
prepared for the purpose. This would
apply the test as to whether they stand
ready to earn their own living. The
labor would not be taken from our own,
because the work would be of character
not otherwise to be performed.
Fresno put her army at work on some
such a basis, and it speedily faded away.
If these men are sincere. and doubtless
many of them are, they will work for
their food, shelter and small sum added
until they can find more remunerative
employment.
The idea is thrown ou. crudely, but as
worthy at least some thought and elabo-
ration. The most serious thing in it is
that of the necessary fund to carry it out.
Can that be secured in any way2 We
think it may be; that it would be eco
nomic and wise to make the effort, and
that in the end it will cost the people less
than to support these dependents in idle
ness, for that they are to be permitted to
starve is absurd.

MORTGAGE
LIF7ERS!"
At a recent meeting of the
BARNSVILLE Conn INSTI-
TUTE a paper was read on
"SnlaH Fruits as
Mortgage LiftePS'

The author of the paper said
that in 1899 he purchased 1914 acres
of land that was industriously
producing elders and briers. A
portion was cleaned up and planted
in berries. In 1892 the gross re-
ceipts were S2,45I, and the net re-
ceipts, after all labor and super
vision was paid for, amounted to
Is per cent upon capital invested
in farm, stock and implements,
and no account was taken of milk,
butter, eggs, poultry and fruit
consumed on the farm, nor for
food for the stock In 1893 the
net receipts amounted to 23a per
cent. on the investment.
The Owner of the land says the
berries will pay for the land in a
few years.
This item is interesting to us
just now, as we are offering land
that is recognized all over the
State as the best for raising small
fruits, to wit:
