railroad express was used, of course the
cost was much more.
do not forget that you close revenue"
from freight left on your hands-which,
however, may have been spoiled by I'M
reasonable delays-but need this to be so
to any great extent? If winter vegetable
growing in Florida is to go on, it will be
for some time to come, in fewer and
stronger hands. Then why not give us
liberal rate, and require it to be pre-
paid or guaranteed?
Another, and, it seems to me, a very
important point-Why should the great
steamer lines hold up the rate for the
railroads? Why not hold up your GUS
toners instead? You have no sway" to
maintain, and can reap large profit on
the same terms that only yield small
return to the railroads; therefore, is not
the situation and T'lorida's immediate
future largely in your hands?
What little we had left to ship from
Woodlea the past season went mostly by
j., T. & K. W. special, which seemed to
give the lowest rate and the best time to
Philadelphia; but we would infinitely
prefer steamer service, other things be-
ing equal. We have 40 acres of choice
land, protected from frost so far as is
possible by deep water on north and
west, and an irrigation plant able to
meet .drouths; the question is, Shall
we plant? 1t will cost $40 per ton to
raise and pack the stuff. If more than
twice the cost Of production be required
for freight & y, we must sell at net of
from $50 to $40 per ton, after paying
commissions in New York, Philadelphia
or Boston, to just come out even.
So here we are, and the question is,
Shall we plant?
Does it not seem that the transporta-
ton companies hold the key of the stu
alton, and can build up or kill great
business? also that the chief RESPONSE
bility is on the steamer Ines?

Ocean Steamship Company with the fol-
lowing letter:
Mr.. l. p. BeckzOl1h, General Freight ana
Passenger agent, Ocean Steamship
Company, NezO York.
Referring to your favor of May last,
in which you kindly offered assistance
and advice in the matter of shipments
from the South. beg to submit the en-
closed very judicious editorial from the
FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT of 10th inst,
and to add some further comments.
1t cannot be denied that the trans
portation companies hold the key to
Florida's problem in their hands.
When the calamity of December and
February last occurred, growers pos
sessed of cool heads and courage began
at once to look for the compensations
that usually come with any great
trouble Among the first to rise out of
the gloom was the hope of lower
freight tariff to the great cities of the
Atlantic seaboard. When a radical re-
duction came, on all sides were heard
expressions of thankfulness, and the be-
lief that the era of high rates had gone
forever. The liberality OF the trans
portatlon lines in making free distribu
ton of seed, and otherwise showing a
disposition to help, was also great
encouragement. AS soon, however, as
the growers had anything worth men
tioning to ship, the old figures were re-
stored, and the result was another calam-
ity to Florida. Of necessity, the season
was short; and the produce arrived, on
market demoralized by hard times
wholly within few weeks. Of course,
an average low price was the result, and
no doubt the transportation companies
received the whole net income of Flor
ida's l894-5 vegetable crop.
The consequent distress to the growers,
who hoped to partially offset their loss
of fruit by the freeze, can be more easily
imagined than described.
Complaints about the past, however
just, are dominated by the question:
What of the future?
1t seems to be demonstrated that win
ter vegetables cannot be proftably grown
in Florida and pay a freight rate of from
$40 to $50 per ton to New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston. The cost of produc-
tion, the risks Of frost and of the market
are too great. But, says one of your
fellow general freight agents, eve can
not afford to carry tor less, considering
the facilities we offer"
He ought to know; but if the stuff can
not pay the freight, would il not be wise
to take less profit, or even nothing
above operating expenses, temporarily,
to build up great industry for future
profit? Certainly, the transportation
subject is wide and difficult one, i'm
possible for the general public to fully
grasp, so allow me to fortifY at this point
with little skilled testimony. In the
winter of 189O-91, [ had confidential
talk with an intimate friend holding a
high position with one of the leading
transportation companies North and
South The rate on oranges from Jack
sonville to New York had just been
raised from 80 cents to 40 cents per box.

Mr.. J. p. BeckzOitA, General FREIGHT and
Passenger agent, NezV York.:

by this time to my letter of the 25th

taken on the intricate question of freight
rates. The inclosed clipping is eloquent
The men mentioned are of the first citi-
liens of the county In which l am mostly

expect to teach you skilled men anything
about your business, but do realize that
agitation is necessity.

Some years ago, when gambling -four

/ Bill Lunsford and Adam Koch. They
usually bucked the animal together, and
when they had a winning streak the
bank proprietor was apt to walk the
floor nervously, and there would be shift
ing of dealers every quarter Of an hour
or so. When the tickle goddess frowned
upon them, however, there was joy in
the heart of the man who car ired the
roll, and pheasants and venison were la
bic to mark the next nights supper.
They always played the limit, which
was $25 to cases in most Of tie rooms
in their day, whether their luck was
good on bad, and consequently they won
big money or lost their stakes in short
order
One night Koch went up into Jones'
place, over Charlie Godfrey's saloon, on
Z street, without a cent in his pocket.
Lunsford was spread out before the faro
table, with red chips at S12j apiece
stacked up in front of him and stacks
covering the case cards ON the board He
was tipsy and unsociable, and when Koch
suggested the loan Of a couple Of stacks
he was met with n stormy refusal.
He sat down ard watched the play, how
ever, and at last Lunsford, W no was
calling for small bottle every other
turn, got drunken and put a pile Of chips
on the king, of which only enc had
shown. In moment tvs kings followed
each other in the deal, and Jim Davis,
who was dealing. took down half Of

The Mechln cathedral pulpit is re-
garded as the second finest in the world,
the finest having been done by the same
artist for the cathedral in Brussels. The
writer, who has seen beth, while ad-
hitting points of superiority in that Of
Brussels, prefers this, which is in the
cathedral at Mechlin. It is made Of oak,
and the figures Of Christ and Of the wom-
en- are life size. The sounding board is
formed by oak leaves twined with those
Of a grapevine. The stem Of the latter
rises naturally from the ground at the
entrance to the pulpit, which is appar-
emily hewn out Of a rock. The preacher
stands under the shadow of the leaves,
the cross at his right hand Below him
and in front of the pulpit, forming a
part Of tho base, is horse which has
thrown its rider. It looks as though
some impious horseman had approached
Calvary heellessly and been hurled to
destruction over a prccipice. The ex-
PLANTATION OF the design is not given by
the guide at the cathedral nor in any
book, so visitors and regular worshipers
are at liberty to interpret it to please
