THE SILVER ISSUE
Resident Attorney f,r Frame in This C)un ,ry
Discusses IL

Discusses Ii
NEW YORK, June 3.-F. r.. Coudert.
the legal representative in this country %
the government of France, keeps sharp
eye on financial matters, both in this
conntry and in Europe. He read the in-
terview with Senator Hill with great
deal OF interest; also the interview in
which William c. Whitney. expressed his
views on the silver question. lie said:
If the nations of the world should agree
upon a uniform standard there is no
doubt in my mind that it would be the
greatest boon the world OF finance has
ever received. 1t strikes me that u ratio
OF l5@ 10 |. 1G to ! or 20 to | would be
immaterial. SO long as the ratio was uni
form. 1t may come to this, however, tGat
the United States will start out alone in
the direction of bimetallism. | am not
political economist, but have watched
the course of events with much interest
and have read and talked with European
writers on finance. find that they are
becoming impressed with the fact that
unless tie European nations soon reach
an agreement on the qLestion of adopting
Il niform double standard they will have
| to face the certainty that the United
| States will do business on silver basis.
| The populist;c spirit which is abroad
| throughout the west and south is such
that it cannot be ignored. and if the fact
| becomes evident that the nations of Eti-
rope intend to refuse any relief the storm
| will break. The result would unhoubt-
edly be financial revolution and loss to
the United States, but it would be ruin
to Europe. They are beginning to realize
| the fact that they cannot get along with
out us, while we can get along withou t
| them If worst comes to worst. We could
build Chinese wall of silver around our
country and the world would be knocking
at our doors. tell you they are afraid
| to tempt providence too long They are
| just waking up to the fact and the pru
dence of the tinauciers of England and the
continent will force the conclusion that
silver must be recognized as a currency or
they will be forced to recognize it.

THE ORANGE YIELD FOR 90
A National Deficit of Two and a Half
Million Boxes
Which the Increased Yield OF California VIII
Reduce to One and Halt
Million Boxes

REDLANDS. June 3.-Usually at this
season OF the year one hears reports of
prospects of having u light orange crop
for the next season. There are always so
many OF the settings fall and those
which remain on the trees are so hidden in
the foliage that it seems that there are
none left to mature. This year the usual
complaints are not heard. The trees
were evidently never so full Of good
healthy settings as they are ROW, and
there is every indication of an immense
crop of the golden fruit. Your cores
pendent has been at some pains to learn
the conditions in other sections, aad
believes it is true of all Southern CalifoI-
MIA that an immense yield of oranges is
prospective.
Nor are the market prospects at all
alarming with vast increase in yield.
Last year before the frost came, Florida
marketed two and o half million boxes of
oranges. This year the production will
amount to nothing. leaving to California
the task of making up the deficit in the
Florida yield.
No man can tell just how near Caifor-
MIA will come to making up the deficit
but with the vast increasing acreage OF
bearing trees it seems not imprua BILE
that the increase in output from Califor-
MIA will stand something like this: Riv-
erside. 100000 boxes; Ontario. 200, 900;
Redlands 10000 other sections, 450. 000
total, 800. 90 boxes.
1t is not possible. with all the great
prospects, that California will increase
more than million boxes. still leaving
a deficit of one ana q half million boxes
from the American production the past
year.
During the past year the prices realized
from oranges have been most satisfac-
tory. though the fruit las been put on
markets where the great bulk of the peo-
pie were suffering from hard times. Con-
ditions are improving all over the coun
try. and there is every reason to believe
that the people next year will be in u
much better condition to consume oran-
ges than they have been this year, and
with shortage in production OF nil
lion and half boxes in the country and
a surplus in California of nearly mil
hon boxes, the prospect facing the Cali
fornia orange grower is anything but dis
couragng.
