The demand for California wine is now
figured at about 10000 gallons. The
product of 1895 was about $4,000, 900
gallons or 100000 gallons short of the
demand. The estimated product for 1896
is about 100000 gallons. The deadly
phylloxera and the general depression in
the wine business have prevented the
planting of vineyards, SO that now the
supply cannot equal the demand. Or
ganization among dealers and producers
has done the rest in bringing up the
prices. No new vineyards to speak of
are coming into bearing and there will
be none for several gears, for all new
vineyards are being planted in phyl-
loxera proof resistant stock, and those
vines take five years from the time of
planting before they will bear.
Those are the conditions that have
sent wine prices up and have made all
the men in the business as pleased as if
they had found a pirate treasure ship

held up, will bring the American Repub-
lie to the bottom of the pit of ruin. He
declares that the party Of Jefferson,
Jackson, Seymour and Tilden was not
the party. that was represented at Chi
cago, and that entered into the camp Of
malcontent, anarchy and confiscat1on-
He finds in the platform and speeches
the plain threat that radical socialism,
made still more impracticable by the
plotting OF anarchists, intends to take
charge of the Government and confls-
cate private property, centralize power,
and Tor republic substitute the worst
Of despotisms.
The doctrine of the platform and the
convention, he declares, lead remorse-
lessly to widespread confiscation and an
autocracy. The candidate nominated,
he says, has not statesmanlike qualities
nor that balance of judgment that
makes him a safe man, but that his
popularity rests wholly upon few
speeches in Congress that are amusing,
and in play to the galleries of the House,
while his later utterances show that in
temper and intelligence he is untitled
for the great office of Chief Magistrate.
His backing in the convention and the
platform bids for free riots, strikes at
the Supreme Court the final interpreter
of the Constitution, proposes to mutt
late that charter of freedom and rights,
and indicates that it is Favorable to gem
eral spoliation and anarchism.
1t is submitted that such a letter from
such man, whose years are ripe, whose
scholarship is profound, whose expert
ence is broad and whose observation
has been world wide, demands the
Thoughtful consideration of all true
Americans, and ought to call a halt to
the march of the destructive forces that
are moving on to the recasting of the
Government of the fathers, and under
which the Nation has grown to be one
of the foremost of earth, and has be-
come the hope of mankind and the ha-
ven of the oppressed of all the world.

Wine PRODUCERS.
They Are ali Rejoicing at Higher
Prices.
Grapes This Season Will Bring Fully
Four Times What They Sold
For Four Years Ago.

From the San Francisco Examiner)
Wine prices are up-way up.
Wine grape prices are higher than
they've been for ten years and all the
California wine men are going about
with faces wreathed III smiles.
No industry in the State has brighter
prospects than grape growing ana
wine making. After long period OF
depression, of production, OF pest
infected vineyards, of mortgages and OF
low prices, better times have come, and
all the men who have wine grapes to
sell or will make wine from grapes
grown by others, will make money dur
ing the coming vintage season.
This means a great deal for certain
sections of the State, for there are sew
cral millions of good hard cash tied UP
in vineyard property, in cooperage ana
costly cellars. 1t means good times
through the Napa, Sonoma, Santa cara,
Livermore, San Gabriel and other vine
yard valleys. It means the coming OF
profits, as long deserved as they have
been long delayed, and from all fair
reckoning a reasonable permanent pros
perity for an industry that has suffered
as many ups and downs as any in the
State.
| Only yesterday the association Of wine
dealers, controlling the bulk of the pro-
duct that is sold to retail dealers, fixed
the price of ordinary clarets at q cents
a gallon-the top-notch price for many
years. White wines, always a trifle
lower because of less demand, were CIV
en- a corresponding advance. These
prices control only in carload or similar
| lots. A wine maker selling 100, 900
gallons to a wholesale dealer would not
get price like that, but he can get 20
cents a gallon without difficulty, and
| that's about three times better than he
could have done three years ago. These
| prices are for the 80 wines. The price
| for '96 wines is as yet only speculative,
| but all the wine men agree that this
| years product will command a first
class fgure-anywhere from 20 to 30
cents a gallon.
| The following table, compiled from the
records of well-known viticultural au-
| thority, shows generally the advance in
ordinary wine prices during the past
| four years; the prices being those which
| the wine maker receives from the whole
sale dealer-the figures indicating the
price in cents, per gallon:

All wine grape growers do not make
