THE C0LFAX PROTEST.

Nothing is more encouraging than the
vigor with which the fruit-growers of
Placer County, assembled in mass-meeting
at Colfax, have repudiated the inadvert-
ence of their manager in contracting to sell
the fruit of the county to certain houses in
Chicago and New York that are maintained
in opposition to the California Fruit
Growers and Shippers Association. 1t
cannot be too strenuously insisted upon
that the fruit-growers of the State must
stand together in the marketing of their
crops. There may be sincere individual
disagreements as to the best methods to be
pursued, but that does not justify the
establishment of rivalries in methods of
marketing the products.
The Placer growers evidently realize the
Importance of this idea. Although they
receive from the opposition houses as good
prices as the regular houses could have
secured, they remembered the pledge taken
by the fruit-growers of the State in the
convention of 1894 to support the maohin-
cry established for the disposition OF fruit
in the East, renewed their pledge and de-
nounced the opposition houses that had
treated them so we'll. This is an admira-
BILE spirit, snd if exhibited unanimously by
fruit-growers would solve all existing prob
lens. 1t is expected that every effort will
be made at Chicago and New York to
break the force of the California compact,
create discussions among the growers, and
thus secure control which our growers
cannot afford for moment to relinquish.
All sorts of bats and temptations will be
offered and the measure of growers
wisdom will be his ability to resist them
and remain true to his State.

INCREASED IMPORTS.

From the advance sheets of reports
showing the declared exports of various
countries to the United States for the first
quarter of the year 1895 as compared with
those of the corresponding period of 1894,
which have just been issued by the Bureau
of Statistics of the State Department, the
people derive further information concern
ing the working of the new tariff, and adj
ditional proofs that whatever may have
been the intention of its trainers, it oper-
ates in the interest of foreigners and
against home industries.
The reports made public do not cover
the whole extent of our foreign trade, but
they are sufficiently comprehensive to
show the general effects of the new tariff.
Taking only those showing the imports
from the larger countries, we learn that in
the first three months of 1895, the increase,
as compared with the imports of the same
period of 1894, was in round numbers
1864, 900 from Austria, $685., 900 from Bel
GUM, $957,000 from Canada, $6,425, 900
from France, sc, 1861, 900 from Germany and
81, 843, 900 from Switzerland.
From Great Britain and a number of
other important countries the figures are
not given, as the Consuls have not vet
made their reports. Even in the case of
some of the countries named the reports
are not full. Thus in the case of Germany
the figures are made up from the consulate
districts of Berlin and Frankfort only, and
in the case of Canada there were no re-
ports from the British Columbia ports ex-
cept that of Vancouver, where the increase
amounted to S342.9 1897 for the quarter.
The imports from the various countries
include, Of course, almost every kind of

Gone Crazy on Holmes.

The public is fast becoming nauseated
with the stuff that is being printed about
Swindler Holmes, particularly in this city.
Columns of witless theory and wild specu-

rein, and with their Imaginative faculties
in good working order they concoct stories
which not even the most gullible ofreaders
can swallow. Everything they write, no
matter how absurd or manifestly impossi-

will go up when this era Of Holmes idiocy
is ended.-Chicago News.
