CHRONIC GROWLERS.

They are in every town, and of course
there are few here. Their business is
to sit around and growl and complain
about everything that is going on. They
love to tell that higher prices are being
paid for all kinds of produce on other
markets, that business is dull here, that
men cannot find employment, etc. Such
old blisters on the business of town
are incurable. They just live on and
on. They are burden for progressive
people, bore to all, except to their
kind. Such old cumbererS on the
ground occasionally go to church but
it is to criticise the dullness of the SER
mon and complain of the hardness OF
the seats. And yet those same old
sores will sit down on splintered
goods box, or stone curbing, and lock-
ing their hands over their knees will
complain of the way men run the
government and business of the cOun-
try for hours and hours at time.
There they sit and make maps of the
devils wild lands on their shirt fronts
with tobacco juice, and curse men who
are doing their best. They have been
compared to worn out eagles that sit
around the eyrie and peck and claw
the eaglets who are attempting to fly.
But that comparison will not do, for
when the eagle feels the weight of time
upon him and claw and feather fail
him he flies into the face of the sun
and rejuvenates himself. These old
clogs to business progress can we'll be
compared to birds blacker and fouler
than the eagle, that is if you can call a
buzzard bird. They are always look
ing for the foul and evil in business, IN
politics and in religion. Don't be a
clog in the way of the progress of your
town. Get out of it if you don't like
it. Your room is needed.-Monroe IN

FINANCE.

This country is now going through
a monetary experience to which it
would be difficult to find an exact his
torical parallel. 1t is, therefore, an op-
perfume time to review some of the
elementary principles that should gov
ern a sound system of finance and the
causes that bring sudden poverty
and distress on vast masses OF people.
The industries of the mining states of
the West are demOralized, and through
out the land are hundreds ofthousands
unemployed, who are willing to work,
but who seek it in vain.
Heretofore there has been no inquiry
on the part of the rulers of the people
into the general principles of govern
ment. But it is beginning to dawn
upon the minds OF many that there is
a science of government and such
minds are endeavOring by the deepest
researches to discover the principles of
this science. In the principles of gov
ernment, science has not. until recently,
found grounds of attack. Wherever
maxims of temporary policy are the
guiding rules, there will ever be alter
nate construction and destruction; but,
wherever scientific demonstrable prin-
ciples are the governing power, there
will be found permanency.
A few years ago "the sciences were
unknown in our common schools
Political economy is now accepted as
a branch of social science, and all the
questions which have been looked up
on as "too abstract" for common com
prehension, are found to be the rea
principles which underlie all socia
structures.
First in Importance, because it lead
to the recognition of the ultimate con
dition, is the question of intercours
between the peoples of the earth. Mon
ey, as the means of bringing abou
this intercourse, should receive primar
consideration. Let the fact be geneI
ally recognized that the world is a
last tending to unity of the people
and that financial and commercial uni
ty are the preliminary steps by whic
to attain international unity. Con
merce, in it's most cOmprehensiv
sense, does not apply merely to tn
exchange of the material products c
the world, but to the exchange of il
tellectual, moral, social and religion

while we undertake to answer them,
their eyes wander aimlessly around, or
gaze abstractedly over our heads We
all love the friend who greets us with
bright smile, looks as if he were glad to
see us. and as if, on the whole, he
found the world a pretty satisfactory
place.

WORTH MAKES THE MAN.

That people are generally proud OF
their persons, is too visible, especially
if they have any pretense to blood or
beauty: the one has raised many quar-
rels among men, and the other among
women, and men too often, for their
sakes, join in their excitements. But
to the first: what bother has this
noble blood made in the world, antiqui-
ty of name or family, whose father or
mother or great-parents was allied,
what stock or what clan they came OF.
What matter is it of whom anyone
descended, that it is not of ill-fame,
since it is his own virtue that must
raise, or vice depress him? An ances-
tors character is no excuse for mans
ill actions, and since virtue comes not
by generation, he is neither better or
worse for his forefather; to be sure not
in Gods account, nor should it be in
mans.
To be descended from wealth or
titles fills no mans head with brains,
or heart with truth. 'Tis vanity, then,
for a man of bulk and character to
despise another of less size in the world.
because the latter may have the merit
where the former may have the effects
of it in an ancestor; and the one may
be great by means of a forefather, the
other is, too, but it's by his own.
Which is the bravest man of the two?
Let blood and name go together, but
let nobility and virtue keep company,
for they are the nearest of kin. God
neither likes nor dislikes any descent;
nor does he regard what people were,
but what they are.-Madison Lake

1t is the duty of the people, if there
be such thing as principles of finance,
to find them out and cause them to be
practically applied. The interests OF
humanity are greater than the inter

THE FRUIT INDUSTRY.

The annual review and harvest edition
OF the California Fruit Grownr, which has
just been issued. affords considerable
cause for congratulation to the people OF
the State. While the year under review
has not been altogether a prosperous one
for the producing classes, there is now all
advance in prices and the outlook is salts
factory. The edition deserves a careful
study. No other State in the Union could
make such a showing of rural industries
and the crop reports, which are regarded
as not favorable here, would, in other Sec
tions of the country, be cited as evidences
OF prosperity.
Unfavorable weather conditions have
shut off the harvests for some OF the pro-
ducers, but all things seem to be working
together to provide for the prosperity of
the future. A large crop and low prices
in 1895 served the good purpose of intro
ducing California products into new local.
tiles and got people into the habit of using
them. This habit will be hard to break.
The luxuries of yesterday become the
necessities of tomorrow. The goods
which needed the temptation OF easy get
ting to make them sought in the first in
stance will now be reached out for with
more eager effort. So the shorter harvests
will find more brisk demand and a higher
price.
Looking back for comparison over q
period OF four or five years a steady and
most satisfying increase is noted. The
wine shipments have grown from about
$500, 900 gallons in 1890 to nearly 5, ,OOO, 600
in the last year. Shipments of fresh fruit
have improved in five years from 90. $50 600
pounds to 132, ,569. $40; dried fruit from
65, COO, 600 to 122, ,654, 300, which is nearly
double. Raisins have a little more than
doubled, being now 90, 775, $50 pounds.
Citrus fruits have increased from SO $50
700 pounds to 231, ,657, $50. Shipments have
increased nearly threefold in nuts, they
being now GAGS, 500 pounds. Canned
fruits were 1850, $50 in 1891, and the last
crop year showed g. 595. 800 pounds. The
California dairy industry produces more
than $14 100000.
These statistics are full of encourage
ment for our rural industries. The out
look, however, is even better an the fig.
ures show. Protective legislation will not
only make the home market safer for
California fruits, but will make it larger
and better by promoting the industries OF
the cities The future, therefore, is full
of promise, and to no part of the Union
more than to California

SPECIAL ELECTION.

1t took the seven columns of the last
page OF the Examiner of yesterday and a
good portion of the editorial page to let
the people OF this City see how little
that organ knows of the history of San
francisco. By devoting this amount OF
space it endeavored to show that the citi-
zens have right to hold special election
ior freeholders and special election for
charter at any time, sustaining the posi-
tlon 1t assumed by quoting the opinions of
people OF other cities in which such
elections were held.
San Francisco knew it had that power
long ago. On March 80, 1880, it held an
election. special election, for freehoIders
and at a special election held on the Sth of
September of the same year the work of
these freeholders was submitted TO the
people, who voted as follows: For the
charter 4184 against 1913. The general
election was held on the I'd of November
OF the same year.
1t might be well for the young man who
rules the destinies OF the free-silver organ
TO devote little time to the study of the
City in which he is trying to run paper.

EMERsON's HUMoR.

Most readers of Emerson have probably
been struck with the surprising contradic-
tions in his assertions. On one pa will
be found what reads like a most profound
truth condensed into a most ouotabie
phrase. One is forced to believe that this
is true, or at all events. very profound
mind considered it true. and therefore the
statement is worthy of study and remem-
brance. But the reader reaches a few
pages further and there finds the reverse
of this sentiment stated just as forcefully
as the first. No doubt they are both ex-
pressions of honest convictions held at
the moment they were written, but it is
truth as seen through very varying moods.
1t may be an illustration of the power of
comprehensive mind to see on both sides
and in fact all round question.
An illumination on the peculiarity OF
his mind in this way is shed by some
quotations from his works cIted in an
article on "Emerson's Wit and Hnmor''
in the Novemb Der number of the Forum
He says: II am always insincere as
always knowing that there are other
moods" Consistency is the bugbear of

about himself prove that he was quite

BRYAN'S LAST ADDRESS.

The address to the bimetallists with
which William J. Bryan sums up the re-
s1lts OF the campaign will neither in.
crease his reputation nor add anything to
the strength of his cause. At best it is but
claim that the gold standard will prove
disastrous to the people under the Nc
kinIey administration: that the Republi-
can pledge for international bimetallism
has been but a deception, and that four
years from now the cause of the silverites
will triumph.
In this much there is nothing unex-
pected and while there is in it no orig
inality there is also nothing deserving OF
condemnation. 1t is always permitted the
defeated to declare their willingness and
their eagerness to try the battle again at
another time and under more favorable
conditions. The American people know
what valuo to put upon this form of bear
Ing defeat, and had it stood alone it would
cause nothing more than a smile of amuse-
ment. MIR. Bryan, however, has had the
bad taste and, what is worse, the apparen t
deliberate falseness TO charge that his de.
feat has been due to unfair means and to
give new utterance to the foolish and
senseless cry of coercion.
He tells tie bime talists: "Trusts and
corporations have tried to excite the fear
OF lawlessness while they have been defy-
ing the law" and informs them that sue
cess will yet be attained "in spite of
the efforts of the administration and
its supporters, in spite OF the threats
OF money-lenders at home and abroad, in
spite of coercion practiced by corporation
employers and in spite of the influence of
hostile daily press"
1t seems hardly worth while TO refute
these silly assertions at this late day. Nc
kiniey has been elected not only by an
overwhelming vote of the electoral col
lege, but also by popular majority of a
million. No such victory has ever before
been gained by Presidential candidate.
Never before have the American people
been so unanimous on any issue since the
days of Jefferson. All sections of the
Union and all classes of the people, in
cluding conservative Democrats. have
united in winning this great victory for
sound money. protection and good gov
ernment. To raise the cry of coercion in
the face OF such majority as this regis
tered by secret ballot IS the very M adness
OF politics. 1t argues mind incapable OF
recognizing facts, as well as rhetoric
reckless OF truth.
This statement will probably be the
last OF William Jennings Bryan's as a
National figure in American politics. He
sprang up as suddenly as Jonah's gourd.
and was as suddenly withered. He leaves
behind him nothing the American peo-
pie will ever care TO recall. His oratory.
ike his politics, was false and thin, and
neither has IN it anything that will last
longer than the fading leaves that are
now being stripped from the trees by the
November wind.
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-08

seeming defect to some minds was, in his
own estimation, strength.
One of the most remarkable cases Of
apparently opposing views can be noticed
in his expressions about the benefits or
evils of solitude and society. Either seems
greatly good or greatly injurious as shifts
the point of view. Another instance is in
the two ways in which his wisdom looks
upon wealth and poverty.
A young man reading Emerson's essays
for enlig htenment would find it dificultto
decide which of the two was really the
best possession for him. There Is so much
to be SAID on both sides, and Emerson can
see them SO clearly and state them so con-
vincinely. Il might be wise for the poor
youth to read what the philosopher has to
say OF the advantages of poverty, and the
glided youth his remarks about the desir-
ability of possessing wealth. If young
men viii insist upon reading both
the essays then neither rich nor poor
will be left with the conteutment afforded
by the perusal of only one, and the
wealthy who desires to get all the good
there is to be had from earthly training
must decide to become poor, and the
penurious to strive for the power of self
improvement which riches can give.
One of the peculiarities of Emerson's s
wit was that he believed "true wit never
made US laugh" Hewas careful TO strike
out OF his lectures all those passages which
he found produced laughter. One of the
samples given of his wit and wisdom is
that once, when deeply absorbed in con-
yersation on some pro blem of philosophy
with friend in his garden his wife called
to him to bring her some wood. He took
her the wood and then went back TO his
friend. remarkng with smile, I'VE will
now return to the real things" AS an
example of how he retained his humor,
even after being stricken with exasperat-
ing misfortune, it is told that when he had
TO large extent lost his memory he was
one day searching for his um brelia, and
could neither find the thing in his house
nor the name OF it in his mind. He ex-
planned by saying: "I can't call its name,
but can tell its history. Strangers take
it away"
