AD.yALOREM DUTIES.

Congressman Bowers has written letter
to the Fresno Republican in which he ex-
plains why there IS so little protection ln
ad-valorem duties. Many people assume
without looking into the matter that adj
valorem duties are based upon home
prices. II An article is worth 81 pound
in one market and the duty is 25 per cent
it is assumed that the duty is equivalent
TO q specific duty of % cents pound. But
such is not the fact. The valuation is
fixed at the place of product There is an
ad- valorem duty of 80 per cent on Zante
curran,s. Now Zante currants retail at 8
cents a pound. but their cost at New York
Is but 21a cents. The cost of shipment
from the place of production is taken from
this. and also whatever expense is attached
to getting the currants from the spot on
which they are raised 10 tidewater. Mr..
Bowers estimates the invoice valuation
at y cents a pound. A duty of 80 per
cent on an invoice valuation of ~ cents
would be less than half a cent a pound.
AS it costs more to get California raisins
to the Eastern market than 1t does to place
Zsnte grapes In the same localities the
slight duty on the foreign article will
place our foreign competitors on vantage
ground In competing for the American
raisin market.

ORANGE-GKOWING.

The South Riverside Bee publishes
list Of forty prominent orange-growers of
that county whose profits on oraIge-grow-
ing last year averaged 1924 net per acre.
The highest profit was S6O9 per acre, real
lied by j. j. He witt; Roswell Hart comes
next with $50, l.. f. Darling third with
S547. The Bee does not state how many
acres maintain this high average nor does
t imply that the profits are especially
large. In fact. it says such net returns
ought to be considered good. The average
business man will agree in this respect
with the Bee. To most people it will seem
probable that there must be a dark side to
this picture. Is IL possible that any con-
siderable tracts of land return net profit
of S234 an acre in year which presented
no exceptional feature? II there are forty
orange-growers who realize a profit OF 1924
an acre on land devoted 10 the orange.
how many are there who make little or
nothing? When orange orchards are held
at $1,000 an acre people not acQuain ted

Senator Coke of Texas has decided to retire
from public life at the close OF his term, March
4, 1895, when he will have completed eighteen
years OF service. The only reason he assigns

DANGER OF DOUBLING DEBTS.

A fine moral question will arise when
Mexico and the South American countries
initiate :he example of Guatemala and
notify English money-enders that they
cannot pay interest in gold. That Ques-
tion is if great nation may do Indirectly
what it would not be permitted to do
directly. An English creditor would not
presume to add one dollar to his debt as
expressed in figures, but is quite certain
that be has clear right TO double it as ex-
pressed in values. When the bulk of
Mexico's debt of So, ,000, 900 was created the
Mexican silver dollar was worth about 30
cents. The same dollar is worth in gold
about As cents. 1t returns value for do
nestle purposes, but is shorn of nearly
one-half its value for foreign debt-paylng
purposes. When the debt was incurred
Mexico had no idea of the obligation she
was incurring. Gold and silver had kept
together so long that no one thought they
would separate. The legislation by which
the depreciation of silver in its gold valu-
alton was effected may be considered
smart, but il is of the kind Of smartness
that when practiced by individuals gets
