putting money in circulation. Yet these same
free traders who favor local industries oppose
the national protective policy that promotes
the public welfare in the more general estab-
lishment of factories throughout our country.

Nature has fitted this spot for the site of a
great inland city; all the conditions are here
soil rich, deep and of great fertility; water
in abundance for irrigation whenever needed !;
great oaks and other trees for miles around to
furnish cheap fuel for hundred years to
come; vast forests of redwoods, pines and frs q
few miles to the east to furnish building ma
teral for generations to come: q climate
healthful and genial. All that is needed is the
enterprise and genius of a man to make of
Visalia city of 10000 Inhabitants within the
next five years.-Visalia Times.
