There is being registered all over the
country q protest by the lsborers
against the injustices of our present
industrial system, that refuses labor q

Monopoly is capitals handmade, and
through legislation robs labor. Ma.
chinery owned by capital is now per.

was done by hand. Gladstone says:

ventiVe power might construct ma

chance to earn his LIVELIHOOD
Labor-ssVing machines have entered
into competition with human labor,
oftentimes forcing the mechanic out
of employment to compete with the
already redundant class of unem-
ployed. The wage-earner of today
discovers that machinery owned by
capital is competing with him in every
line of industry; that capital and her
interest are desrer than flesh and
blood, dearer than home and country,
and where shall he turn for reliefP
In land of boasted ballot power
man has no i'll from which he cannot
free himself, in state or church or so
ciety, if the laws of the country pro-
tect monopolist's interest first; if the
court rules that capitals interest are
paramount to lsbor's, and a man can
not stop work and thereby injure cap
ital, but capital can close her doors
when her gain is not sufficient to sat-

REMARKABLE FECUNDITY.

The people of California have become so
accustomed to the prodigious size, rich
coloring and luscious quality of many OF
its soil products and to the wonderful size
of many of its crops that they long ago
ceased to speak of them as marvellous
When these discoveries were new it was
customary to write of them to Eastern
friends and newspapers, as it is natural to
write of marvellous things 1t was thus
that the 'tCalifornia liar" came into exist
ence and served as the butt of Eastern
wits. Even then Cal1fornians came to re-
aize that in order not to be deemed liars
they must refrain from telling the truth
That which is incredible is as bad as lie
Naturally it was impossible for Eastern
people to believe things which were foreign
to their experience They had seen the
soil at home cultivated, were familiar with
the limitations which "nature" had placed
on vegetable growth and could not be
fooled by the tremendous yarns which
came from California. Thus it is tina. very
little has been said in recent years about
the wonders of farming in California. 1t
is pleasant, therefore, to read the truth
now and then. The subject is very inn
portant, for it involves this vital question:
Ii California does produce such wonderful
crops why is not the cultivation of the soil
more profitable?
In writing about the products of Tulare
County, Major C. J. Berry says of par
ticular orchard by way of illustrations: at
