After music by the band Chairman
George arose to present Grove l.. John
son. In doing so he referred to his own
career in the State Senate DE said he sat
directly behind Mr.. johnson during the
session, and he had an opportunity to
watch him carefully. He declared that
Mr.. johnson was in favor of hydraulic
mining then. and no man lifted up his
voice in the Legislature as Mr.. Johnson
did. Mr.. johnson was received with ap-
plause and for two hours delivered a
speech filled with biting sarcasm. The
speaker said that during his entire can
vass, up to the present time, he had never
spoken disparagingly of Mr.. Caminetti,
but Democratic candidates. Federal Office
holders and Democratic newspaper had
thrown down the gauntlet and he was
willing TO accept the gage of battle.
After severe structures on the aforesaid
Democratic candidates, Federal office
holders and Democratic newspaper, he
spoke at length upon the tariff question,
which he said was the only issue now be-
fore the American people. The railroad
question should not be introduced into
this campaign. As for himself he does

Caminetti's Sophistry.
Stockton independently

uL.l
Mr.. Caminetti says the only hope for
improved times for farmers is in free
trade. Mr.. Johnson, on the contrary
stands for protection, which gives the
farmer home market, gives the laborer
more employment and makes him a good
customer of the farmer. That policy
naturally reduces the surplus on which
the farmer has to pay freight abroad.
Mr.. Caminetti says the shipper, not the
farmer, pays the freight. This is too
transparent for the dullest person.
farmer or otherwise, to accept. Every
farmer knows that just in proportion as
freights advance the price Of grain falls.
1t was the shipping ring of two years ago
that ran frelghts up to 35 shillings per
ton ana caused corresponding drop in
the price OF wheat. 1t was q ring that
sent up the freight rates when McGlauflin
was known to have vast quantities of
wheat stored In Port Costa which must
60 abroad or spoil. Just as the grain
charters rose in price the grain itself fell.
Mr.. Caminetti's tlippant answer was
dlslngenuous, to say the least. 1t shows
ina! ne elther knows nothing about the
grain trade or that he was not candid in
his treatment it. What does it profit a
farmer ii he can buy grain bags n cent
apiece less under free trade when he re-
celves only half the price for his wheat?
For the cent he saves on lis bag he loses
lroLl W W oU Genus on the grain he puts
into it. That is what the Democratic
party, as advocated by Mr.. Caminetti.
does for the farmer. The farmer cannot
be certain that he will even save cent
apiece on his grain bags The price is
low now, as it always is when bags are
not in demand. Next May, June and
Jaly, when the farmer is harvesting and
bags are in demand, the Calcutta ring
will have cinch on the farmer. The
Oakland bag mill has been crowded out
of business, and only the prison mill in
San Quentin will compete with it. The
San Quentin mill cannot turn out enough
bags to supply the demand, and the ring
can put the price on the bags just as the
shipping rings can put the price on
freights, and the Democratic farmer who
votes for Caminetti will be squeezed be-
tween the two rings which Democratic
policy fosters, and which Caminetti's de-
tense of free trade makes him responsible
for.
The intelligent farmer who keeps trace
of current events will see that protection
OF others protects him, because it fosters
home consumption and reduces the sur
plus by which the price of his whole pro-
duct is governed.

Amendment No. 2.

This amendment, which will be voted
upon at the coming election, provides tor
exemption from taxation fruit and nut
bearing trees under the age of four years
and grape vines under the age OF three
years.
The exemption is intended TO cover the
period during which fruit and vines are
coming into bearing. The farmer who
plants an orchard or a vineyard looks s
ahead from three to four years for any re-
turn. During that period his enterprise
is all outlay and no income. 1t is true
that each year in which an orchard is
growing before it comes into bearing adds
to the prospective value of the property.
But this amendment is rather matter of
sound policy than the application of the
abstract principles. OF taxation. The small

J JOHNSON'S POSITION.
IOrOyille Register.l


Mr.. Camlnetti and some of the Demo-
cratic papers are endeavoring to misrep-
resent Mr.. Johnson's views on the min
ing question. Mr.. Johnson stated his
position on This question in his speech in
Orovllle, which was plain, to the point.
and easily understood by everybody.
That he wants the Government to tax o
hold of the work, that he did not think it
fair TO ask the individual miner or the
corporation miner to build the dams.
that 1t was too much to ask of them, that
1t was too much responsibility for them to
take, that the Government ought TO do it.
that the Government could do it, and that
the amount of money appropriated bv
the State in connection with that appro-
priated by the nation, would build one
comprehensive system of dams which
would be Infinitely better than a large
number of small dams erected by an in
finite number OF land owners.

To prohibit aliens from buying mines
and other real estate would not advance
the prosperity of California. but would
retard 1t. No increase of mem bership of
the Board of Equalization is needed. To
give members of the Legislature 81, 900
per annum would increase the State taxes

TO be paid after sixty days, probably
Sl0O, 900 or Sl50.00O. Something is to be
said in favor of longer sessions of the

be said against it.
