The Los Angeles Herald" declares
that California's greatest drawback
is land monopolization- Correct! The
Record Union has pointed out that
fact repeatedly in a manner 20 put
question or doubt about it out Of con-
sideration. And the worst Of it is that
land monopoly has been actually in
creasing during the last twenty years,
instead of diminishing.

ever been guilty. We are receiving sill
yer at a parity of 16 TO of gold and the
Government is doing business on this
silver basis wholly and entirely. The
instant It ceases to do business in this
way, the parity between gold and silver
is lost, and all the silver it has hereto
fore purchased and coined will descend
to fifty cents on the dollar, when We at
tempt to convert it into gold.
The free coinage of legal tender silver
could by no means produce worse sit
uation than this. The Government is
simply a tremendous instrument in the
hands of the stockholders, the bankers
and the creditor classes to constantly
increase the purchasing power of gold,
and thereby diminish the value of all
physical forms of property.
A matter which should not escape the
attention is that every dollar Of silver
coined by the Mints of the United States
so far as relates to the difference be-
tween its bullion value and the coinage
value stamped on its face, constitutes a
Government debt When the Govern
ment takes fifty-two cents worth of sill
yer and coins it into a dollar, and it
passes into the pockets of the citizens of
the country, the citizen SO holding it has
paid dollar for it.
The instant the Government ceases to
do business on a silver basis, the dollar
goes back to ffty-two cents. Thus the
Government would rob every holder of
silver in the United States Of forty
eight cents on the dollar of his holding,
unless it maintains the present position
Of forcing silver into circulation at a
parity of 16 to 1 with gold. This whole
scheme Of attempting to force an arti-
fetal parity between the two metals,
which is a departure from their intrin-
sic value, is the device of fools. There
is no such thing as a double standard,
except at parity which expresses the
intrinsic relative value Of two metals,
and the present position of affairs In
this country indicates plainly that
within a short time either the Govern
ment must abandon the effort to main
tain this false parity, or take refuge in
the free coinage of legal tender silver.
The bill to remove the disabilities of
Confederates who had held commits
sions in the army or navy of the United
States and lost them by service in the
army of the Southern Confederacy has
passed the Senate and probably by this
time has passed the House 1t permits
all such citizens to enter the army or
navy, and thus places them upon an
equality with all others of the country.
It is conceived in generosity and should
pass to law in the name Of mercy. Time
sufficient has now elapsed for this last
act Of a magnanimous nation to be per
formed, and thus wipe out about the
last of the impediments to full enjoy
ment of the rights of citizenship by
those of our brethren who were once
arrayed in arms against the flag of the
Union.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The work Of the Salvation Army in
this city Wednesday in feeding hun
dreds Of homeless men, giving them
bountiful Christmas dinner and well
come that came from the heat and
about which there could be no mistake,
was an act of the order that beauties
humanity, makes men proud of fellow
ship, and glorifies the indefatigaole
workers who conceived the idea and
carried out the unselfish scheme. 1t
was not a cheerless charity dinner, rude
and hasty, but as neat, well served va
ried and tasty a meal as most people de-
sire. There were probably some, possi-
bly, quite a number, who went in to the
tables of the Salvationists, where a
handful of devoted men and women
served the thousand, who were un-
worthy of the kindness and imposed
upon the generosity Of the army, and Of
those of our people who supplied ii with
the money to do these good works. But
all such impostors can be left to the
punishment of reproving consciences.
| The Salvationists did not conclude their
| Christmas with feeding the many.
They remembered poor and destitute
children, and provided Christmas tree
and presents for 300 such. The religion
that prompts such unselfishness; that
asks nothing in return for its ministra-
ton; that is all gentleness and love for
humanity; that believes the road to the
| soul often lies along the way Of the
stomach, and the fancy and the heart
and the slumbering memories of better
days; the religion that moves its deyo-
tees to give up their all, their own holi-
DAYS and their comforts that others
may eat and be filed and rejoice and be
glad-such religion commands the re-
spect il not the fervent homage of every
man who believes good works are better
than good preaching.
The bowling and idiotic labor agitator
organization of Oakland, that the other
day denounced the Monroe doctrine as
applied to the Venezuelan question;
! cursed everybody who holds with the
President in that matter; declared that
all such people are fools and destroyers,
and wound up by demanding that a
| great strike be at once inaugurated
has been sharply rebuked and repudi-
ated by the Sacramento Federated
Trades Council. That repudiation will
| forever stand to the credit of the Sacra-
mento organization. II has sense enough
| to rise to a national view in this matter,
however short of high levels it reaches
| in the matter of the power of the Gov
ernment in other respects. AS for the
| Oakland anarchistic labor screamers
they are representative of nothing but
hatred, iIi-will, unamericanism and
trouble. Declaring against the Govern
mental policy In the Venezuelan matter
and denouncing Americanism, in the
same breath they demand that a great
| strike of some sort or other be inaug-
urated. For what, is not stated, but
strike of any sort is the kind of trouble
they want. These insolent fellows are
nuisances and ought to have put upon
| them seyerally and individually a de-
cidedly pummeled head by good patri-
otic American fists. The unamerican

THE PROFIT IN REMEDIAL MEASURES.
The overwhelming experience of the
past dozen years makes it almost unnec-
essary to urge, on the ground of pecuni-
airy returns, the adoption of the meas
ures recommended in the foregoing
pages against insects. To emphasize the
value OF such practice, it is only neces
sary to call attention to the fact that the
loss to orchard, garden, and farm crops
frequently amounts to from fifteen to
seventy-fve per cent of the entire prod
uct, and innumerable instances could be
pointed out where such loss has been sus-
tanned year after year, while now, by the
adoption of remedial measures, large
yields are regularly secured with an insig
nificant expenditure for treatment. 1t has
been tablished thai in the case of the
apple crop, spraying will protect from
fifty to seventy-1ve per cent of the fruit
which would otherwise be wormy, and
that in actual n arketing experience the
price has enhanced from 81 to So so per
ten cents per tree for labor and material

only one third of which was sprayed, the
result was an increase in the yield Of
sound fruit In the portion treated of
nearly fifty per cent, and an increase of
the value of this fruit over the rest OF 100
treaLed the other two thirds was estl-
mated at So, 500. The saving to the plum
crop anu OCner smau IrulUs frequently
amounts to the securing of a perfect
crop where otherwise no yield whatever
of sound fruit could be secured

adoption of a system of rotation, IN which
oats were made to alternate with corn,

m ade saving of $4,000 per year, this
amount representing the loss previously
sustained annually from the corn root
worm. The cotton crop, which formerly
in years of bad infestation by the leaf
worm was estimated to be in iured to the
exteat of $3O,OOO,OOO is now compare
lively free from such injury, owing to
the general use of arsenicals.
Facts of like import could be adduced
in regard to many other leading staples,
but the foregoing are sufficient to en-
phasize the money value of intelligent
action against insect enemies, which,
with the present competition and dimin-
ishing prices, may represent the differ
ence between a profit or loss in agri-
cultural operations. Farmers Bulletin

Control of Insects by Cultural Methods.


stroy them after they are once In posses
sion; and in controlling them, methods
and systems of farm and orchard cult
ure have long been recognized as of the
greatest Value--mOre so even than the
employment of Insecticides, which, in
most cases, can only stop an injury al
ready begun. Insects thrive on neglect.
multiply best in land seldom or never
cultivated, and winter over in rubbish,
prunings, or the undisturbed soil about
their food plants, and become, under
these conditions, more numerous every
year 1t is fact of common observa
tlon that it is the neglected farm, vine
yard, or orchard filed with weeds or
wild growth which is certain to be
stocked with all the principal insect enc
mics; and, on the other hand, borough
and constant culture, with the rem wal
and burning of prunings, stubble, and
other waste, the collection and destruc-
ton of fallen and diseased fruit, and the
practice, where possible, of fall blowing
to disturb the alternating quarters of
field insects, will almost certainly be &C
companied by comparative immunity
from insect pests.
The vigor and healthfulness Of plant
growth has also much to do with free
dom from insect injury, such plants
seeming to have native power of resist
ance which renders them, in d measure,
distateful to most insects, or at least able
to throw off or withstand their attacks.
A plant already weakened, however, or
of lessened vitality from any cause,
seems to be specially sought after, is al
most sure to be the first affected, and
fggssTa&ttGi6ofnc. Anything, therefore, which
aids good culture in keeping plants
strong and vigorous, such as the Judi
cious use of fertilizers, will materially
asst in preventing injury.
To the constant cropping of large
areas of land year after year to the same
staple is largely due the excessive loss
from insects in this country as compared
with European countries, because this
practice furnishes the best possible con-
ditlons for the multiplication of the enc
mics Of such crops. A most valuable
cultural means, therefore, is a system
of rotation of crops which will prevent
the gradual yearly increase of the enc
mics of any particular staple by the sub
stitutlon every year or two of other cult
ures not subject to the attacks of the
insect enemies of the first.
With such insects as the Hessian fly,
the squash borers, and many others
which have regular times of appearance,
much can be done, also, by the planting
of early and late varieties, or by defer
ring seeding so as to avoid the periods of
excessive danger. Wherever possible,
varieties should be selected which ex-
perience has shown to be resistant to
insect attack. Familiar illustrations of
such resistant varieties in all classes of
cultivated plants will occur to every
practical man, and better instance of
the benefit to be derived from taking
advantage of this knowledge can not be
given than the almost universal adoption
of resistant American vines as stocks for
the regeneration of the vineyards of
