Why olives Are Cheap.

From the Buffalo News.
"DO you know what makes
picked olives so cheap? the fur
nisher Of delectables said the other
day. You would't expect Cali
fornia olive grower to get rich
when his olives are sold at little
more than the cost of the brine. |
will tell you secret the trick in
the olive trade. Down in the
Genessee Valley there are great
fruit farms. There is one grower
who has thirty acres of plum, 1000
of them now bearing. Each one
yields three or four bushels OF
green plums are olive shaped they
are picked when green sold to
buyer who puts them in fancy
labeled bottles or in kegs, and they
are sold for olives. They so much
resemble the genuine that no one
but an epicure can detect thai
are not. Tricks in all trades, aren't
there"

The Presidents Position.

But no matter what idea it may
be claimed was intended to con-
vey in his letter of acceptance
in mitigation or modification Of
the platform, there can be no
doubt as to the Presidents posi-
ton at this time upon this essen
tial principle Of free raw materials.
Let me read from that remark
able letter of the Presidents which
was yesterday submitted to the
House of Representatives. 1t ex-
presses better than L can hope to
do the true sound and logical
position Of the Democratic party
upon this question.
After reading extracts from this
letter Mr.. Hill. continued:
"Mr. President, approve every
word that / have quoted. 1t is an
honest and manly statement of the
true attitude which the party
should assume in this crisis.
am not required to defend
the propriety or wisdom of the
PRONUNCIATION of this letter at this
peculiar time. 1t may have been
indiscrete; it may operate as a
firebrand to spread the flame OF
discord already kindled among
party friends, honestly differing as
am disposed to COncede, upon
questions of public and party
policy. 1t was a time for diplo'
macy, craftsmanship and cOncilia'
tion, rather than reCrimination
denunCiation and arraignment
But aside from the question of it:
mere eXpediency ! am here to de
fend the Presidents letter in so fal
as it demands that the party shall
not be led astray into the violation
of Democratic pledges and princi
pies.
"UpOn the question OF free raw
materials the President is right
and you know it. You can no
answer his arguments. You cal
not successfully dispute his pro
positions. You can not doubt hi
sincerity and patriotism. Yol
must yield in the end to his views
You can not stand up against tn
sentiment of the great Democratic
masses Of the country, which viii
rally around the President in hi
contest with you upon this partiC
ular branch Of the subject. TIL
time to yield is now before there i
further humiliation, embarrass
ment and discord.
