EDITOR YAKIMA HERALD-A few years

mines on the head waters OF the Skagit
river for eastern capitalists. Mr.. White
is highly educated gentleman and has
travelled extensively. In conversation
with him I casually remarked that had
seen grown in the Yakima valley . fine

many places in eastern Washington
where they might he successfully cult.

lowing letter from Mr.. White aud take
this means Of calling the attention Of
your readers to the suggestion therein
contained. Very respectfully,
W. II. WHITE.
PITrsBURG. Pa, May 30, 1894.
William II. White, Esq, care Of White &
4unday, Seattle, Wash:
DEAR Mr.. wmrE-You told me once
that eastern Washington raised lot OF
peanuts. have been much struck with
lot OF experiments that have just been
made IN Germany. They first press out
the oil, and our American peanuts con.
tain ~ per cent. The oil sells for 60 cents
per gallon and is used as salad oil. The
residue is q very highly nutritious pro-
duct. They make four products from
this meal, as follows:
First-Pesnut grits. This is the coarse
meal dried, purified, bolted and packed
in pound packages and sold for IL cents
per pound, and is used for soups and
cakes, and is cooked like q vegetable, as
pea soup.
Second-Peanut biscuits. Dry, light
and highly palatable biscuits; very
highly nutritious.
Third - Peanut -four. Coarse meal
ground and bolted like ordinary -four.
Fourth-Diabetic chocolate biscuits.
Highly recommended for persons suffer-
ing from diabetis.
As this would be anew industry and it
looks like good one thought it well to
call your attention to it, SO that some Of
your people might look into it.
Yours, WILLIAM WHITE, JR.

Latest Hop Intelligence.

Gaskin & Co., Of London, have author
lied their local agent, Colin Carmichael,
to advance 2 cents on hops at the present
time, and enough later on to provide for
picking. Mr.. Carmichael says that this
advance will only be made to those
growers who have established reputa-
ton for putting q well-cured hop on the
market.
A. B. Weed has had authority from
Barker & Sons, of London, to contract
hops at II cents during the past few
weeks, but even at these figures the offer
has been withdrawn. This indicates that
the foreign crop looks promising and
that dealers are afraid OF their shadows.
1t is entirely too early to make predic-
tons regarding the crop, as the condi-
tons may change at any time, resulting
in competition among the buyers and ad.
yancement Of price.
Owing to the cold and damp weather
lice have been in the fields for the past
ten or twelve days, but growers express
no fears that they will do any damage.
A few hot days will cremaie them most
beautifully.

revenue can be derived from 1t. But as
we produce only about one-eighth of our
sugar, importing seven-eighths. sufii-
GENTLY large revenue can be derived from
sugar to Justify removing it from the list
of free raw materials. Mr.. Cleveland can
not be oblvious to the consequences OF
tariff based upon the principle he lays
down. In one instance an American IN
dustry is denied protection because 1t Is
large and in another it is protected De-
cause it is small. The American wool
grower, producing two-thirds of our entire
consumption Of wool, is denied protectlon,
while the American sugar-grower, ptoduc-
ing but one-eighth Of the consumption, is
given protection. The effect of Mr.. CleVe-
lands tariff for revenue is therefore to sac
Eifice American industries to revenue. HE
CALL has often stated that the sugar
growing industry. though comparatively
small at present. Is O proper object Oh pro-
lection. There is no reasonable doubt but
that with reasonable protection for term
of years the American sugar-grower VIII
be able to supply the American mar
ket. We do lot dissent from MIR. CleVe-
lands declaration that sugar should be put
on the dutiable list, but from his position
that wool. being less of revenue pro-
Queer, should be put on the free list.

THE CANAL AND CRISP.

Under the rules of the House a gentle
man from Georgia has power to defeat the
legislation necessary 10 set the work OF
constructions on the Nicaragua canal in
operation. The gentleman from Georgia
is not of course opposed to the canal. His
only reason Tor refusing the House
chance to vote upon il is that the low con-
dition of the treasury enforces economy.
But the low condition of the treasury has
really nothing to do with the construction
of the canal. Congress will not he asked
TO appropriate one dollar for the purpose.
1t is simply proposition to issue bonds
for a work which will pay fair interest on
the investment. If there was any doubt
about the ability of the Government to sell
per cent BONDS ut par the proposition
would assume another shape. The refusal
of Speaker Crisp to set day for the con-
sideration of the canal bin adds another
penalty TO the number the people have had
TO pay for their mistake in electiDg Mr..
Cleveland President in 1892. The mystery
of Mr.. Cleveland's success at Chicago be-
comes more clear each day. The trans
portation interests doubtless knew that
nothing would be done during his term to
jeDpardiZe the business. If there is any
way by which the House can do little
work over the head of the Speaker now is
the time TO put it in operation.

THE WAY OUT.

Senator Hill approves of the policy laid
down by President Cleveland in his Will
son letter, but does not defend the writing
of it. Il is not surprising that a Senator
should consider a letter debating GER
tain line of policy to either House Sc
rious departure from established pre-
cedent. A letter from an official who
holds the veto power and who also has the
power Of nomin atoms to Federal Offices is
an interference with the constitutional
rights of Congress which can hardly pass
unrebuked. The country had enough of
this KIND Of executive dictation when the
repeal of the silver purchasing clause Of
the Sherman act was under cOnsidera-
ton. Without doubt Chairman Wilson
needed to be braced up, but the President
was not the party to assume that task. 1t
was not within the line of his duty to in
form either House that he would veto its
bill if it did not accept certain change:
proposed by the other House. This is
what Senator Hill interprets the Pres
ident's letter as amounting to. Mr.. Hill
even appealed to Senators to accept certain
amendments he had previously proposed
or the ground that the Senate bill as it
stood would be vetoed If the House should
accept it. There does not seem anv way
for both houses to maintain their inde-
Dendence but to disagree and adjourn
without any tariff legislation at all.

INTERNAL REVENUE TAXES.

There seems to be no disagreement On
the fact that a cardinal principle of the
Democratic party is free raw material.
But it makes raw materials free only
when they are the product Of some for
eign country. In the replies to tariff in
guires which have been printed at the
public expense there is no more common
com plaint than that American manufac-
turers were crippled by the internal rev.
enue tax on raw material. The article of
alcohol is often mentioned in these re-
plies. In England one manufacturer said
there was no internal tax on alcohol, and
the American manufacturer had to pay
tax of 80 cents gallon on this American
product and compete with the English
manufacturer who had it at the cost of
production. 1t seems strange that parry
which proposes to expose important in
dustries to ruin to provide manufacturers
with free raw material should propose
also to retain taxes on domestic raw ma
terial entering largely into manufactures.
1t almost seems as if the tariff for revenue
party had formulated a plan 10 most
effectively crush American industries.

THE ORDER OF ROUND ROBINS.

The industrial depression which began
about a year ago and is still with us and
the labor disturbances Of the present sum
mer have combined to set clear-headed
men TO thinking il there was not some way
to prevent such troubles. 1t was diScov-
cred that after years of steady employ
meEt at fair wages good many men not
classed as dissoute found themselves with
out means to support their families during
even short period of depression. 1t was
also discovered that in many cases there
was a mutual distrust of employers and
employees arising from the fact that each
had limited acquaintance with the other
Their relations to each other had been
formed somewhat as hired attorneys pre-
sent the cases Of their respective clients
Each attorney. il concerned at all with
the equities of the case under considera-
ton, relies upon his opponent to correct
misstatements. Gaining their knowledge
of each other in this way both EN- ployers
and employees have imbibed the idea that
there was a more or less open fight in
progress in which each must take part on
his own side.
The Order of Round Robins has been
formed for the purpose both of bringing
employers and employees together on equal
footing and for making provision for ad-
versiLy. An outline of the purposes of the
order is thus given:
In few words the order comprises an Or
ganiZatiOn akin 10 a grand lodge, called Su-
preme Council, with numerous subordinate
| lodges called district councils. The Supreme
Council comprises insurance and accident de-
| partments and also a savings, building and
| loan department, TO one Of which each member
must belong, though he may join all three. In
| the subordinate councils each member would
also have the advantages OF social club, and
which each individual council can make as ex-
tensiYe as it sees lit, and over and above all IN
| each council there is one executive officer
| whose function IL is TO aid its unemployed men,
| bers in obtaining suitable employment.
The order is non-sectarian and nom
| political. 1t is intended to bring employer
| and emplOye together in a social way, with
a view to a mutual unders landing of each
| others necessities. 1t has often been said
that if the people of the North and the
people of the South mad known each other
as we'll as representa- of both sections
living in California did there would have
been no civil war. 1t is perhaps more
obviously true that if labor and the men
who employ labor knew each other as
they are there would be no labor troubles.
| A good many of the past conflicts between
| labor and capital have arisen from a lack
of knowledge of all the conditions entering
! into the case on both sides. There have
| been times when a compliance with what
seemed TO the workingmen reasonable de-
mands would have caused suspension of
the industry At other times capital has
not given to labor the share that the profits
| of the business afforded. The Order of
Round Robins proposes through the ord-
nary means of enlightenment to remove
! the causes of such conflicts.

THE RAILROAD FUNDING BILL

The majority of the House Committee
on Pacific Railroads has agreed to report
bill in settlement of the debts of the
roads. 1t is announced with considerable
emphasis that the measure is not a re-
funding bill, bnt an "act TO adjust the
debts to the Government OF certain bond
aided railroads" a perusal of the bill
shows that this is distinction without a
difference. The bin does indeed make the
pretense of covering certain points in the
interest of the Government that were
left uncovered in the original refunding
scheme. 1t requires that the companies
shall show to the satisfaction of the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury that they can meet
in full liquidation each frst-mortgage
bond as it falls due in the period from next
January to 1899. Funds for the purpose
must be in the tangible and present pos
session Of the companies before they can
take advantage Of the provisions of the
act.
So far, very we'll. Next come certain
complicated conditions of payment of the
indebtedness to the Government The
companies are TO give new bonds for that
purpose at 3 per cent for fifty years, Sc
cured by mortgage upon all the property
of the companies, present or acquired.
The conditions of payment of the interest
and Of the principal in semi-annual in
stallments are declared by the companies
in advance TO be too heavy for them.
Possibly they might find them onerous if
met in good faith. 1t is about time they
should bear some part. at least. of the
burden. But the question remains
why they should be expected to pay these
bonds any moro than their present in
debtedness. If they could stave off or
evade one debt, why not another?
1t Is provided that in case OF failure to
pay the Government can fOrecose under
the proposed bill. So it can do now accord
ing TO the conditions of the present mort
gage, but the railroads seem to be strong
enough to prevent it, Judging by the action
of the committee. Win they not be equally
able to escape foreclosure at some time in
the future? As matter of fact the new
bill, Instead OF giving the Government any
advantage over its present position toward
the companies, simply postpones whatever
advantage 1t now has. Nothing else can
be made out in favor of the proposition.
Against 1t may be urged the fact that it
will amount to an evasion OF the original
contract to which the obligations of d.
reetors and stockholders attached. 1t will
80 release them from those obligations
that no suits for the recovery of diverted
funds can be made to stick. Worse than
that, it will leave the Southern Pacific
Company free for half a century to wiring
from the people of California the money
for the payment of its Indebtedness, with

FREE RAW MATERIALS.

In his recent letter to Mr.. Wilson Presi-
dent Cleveland says:
1t must be admitted that no tariff measures
can accord with Democratic principles and
promises or bear the genuine Democratic badge
that does not provide for free raw materials.
The scope of the operation of the Demo-
cratic principle of free raw materials is
narrowed by the amount of revenue that
may be derived from certain kind of
raw material. In the paragraph devoted
to sugar Mr.. Cleveland says:
Under our party platform and in accordance
with our declared party purposes, sugar is a
legitimate and logical article OF revenue tax
alton.
The policy of imposing duties on raw
materials seemingly depends upon the
amount of duty that can be derived from
given article. Wool goes on the free list
because as we produce about two-ibirds Of
our raw wool but comparatively small

the chance always in the background that
it may succeed in the future, as in the past,
in pocketing the funds instead OF paying
the debt.
In fact this scheme is nothing more than
another one of the gigantic Jobs which
have been worked from time to time by
the railroads for their benefit at the ex-
pense of the public. Whether it can be
put through at this session OF Congress
may be doubtful. Perhaps, if not this
summer then next winter may witness It's
success. Between now and then is the
time for the working up of public informa-
ton and sentiment against this matured
outrage. If there is any considerable
nun Der of our people in favor of an ex-
pertinent in Government control of trans
portation now is the time for them to put
in their best efforts to that end.
