The Banana.

Something over twenty years ago a
New England skipper used to make sew
eral trips year from Boston to the
northern ports of Jamaica, and would
return to Cape Cod Bay, his fleet schoon-
er laden with bananas, for which he
found ready and remunerative sale.
Other vessels were added to the business,
which grew and prospered, and soon be-
came too important longer to depend
upon the uncertain winds, and steamers
replaced the schooners. Bananas were
offered in quantities greater than our
Yankee mariner. with his limited means.
could handle, and accompany was formed
in 1877 with capital of 100000 and
two steamers, and the business of syste-
matically growing the banana for export
to the United States commenced. From
such small beginnings sprang the Ameri-
can company which now practically con-
trolls the fruit export trade of Jamaica.
It's present capital is $500.000 and it
has surplus of $1,000,O00, and EN-
ploys twelve steamers. 1t ships to the
United States every year about 4 100000
lunches of bananas, besides upwards OF
100000 cocoanuts, and quantities OF
pimento (allspice), coffee, cocoa, and
early vegetables. 1t employs nearly two
thousand men. More than six hundred
mules are daily in harness engaged in
drawing to ports of shipment its varied
product. 1t owns and controls more
than twenty estates, comprising nearly
$4,000 acres. Free schools are provided
for the children its employees. 1t has
brought great prosperity to a languish'
ing country and practically created an
industry; and its president, the man
whose foresight began all this great
work and whose energy is now pushing
it onward, is commonly known among
the Jamaicans as the Banana King

sound money democrats will noml-
nate third ticket, and thus divide
the sound money vote in the great
battle ground of the middle West to
save the vote from drifting back to
the Chicago ticket.
The republicans will need in No
vember all the aid they can obtain
from sound money democrats. II
they think they can hold their nat
ural strength through the middle
West, or even in some parts of the
East, by the single tendency to party
allegiance they are mistaken. A free
silver enthusiasm has obtained a
hold upon republicans throughout
the West and farming communities
Of the East quite as strong as upon
democrats, and they cannot be di-
verified from their purpose by either
appeals to party loyalty or the dis.
cussion of dead issue.
1t is evident that the free silver
vote is to be united. They are only
differing at St. Louis as to whether
they shall unite on candidates now,
or with different candidates divide
up the electors by states. In either
case the vote will be united on cleo
ton day.
1t should be opposed by a solid and
united sound money vote, 1t never
can be, if in addition to Mckinley,
democrats must vote for Mckinley
ism and all that it represents. This
issue of the past should be buried
until the country has been rescued
by patriotic action from its present
peril.
1t ought to be plain to all thought
full and patriotic republicans that
the time has come when it is abso-
lutely necessary for all good citizens
to drop, for the time being, partisan
ship and work together earnestly
and intelligently for the common
good. To trife with crisis so Sc
rious as this, or to attempt to ig
more or belittle it, would be both a
blunder and crime.
think that at the present moment
the mutitudes Of sound money dem
ocrats represented by the 265 dele
gates who refused to vote at the
Chicago convention are fully awake
to the danger which confronts thu
nation, and are willing to cooperate
heartily and honestly with equally
patriotic members of other parties
in any rational movement to staml
out this heresy. How long they will
continue in this frame of mind nj
man can tell, but one fact is certain
the present responsibility for meet

John Wanamaker's Five Conclusions.

Mr.. John Wanamaker, Of Philadel-
phia, is said to have the largest
amount of life insurance of any per-
son in this country. He has recently
given to the public some of the rea-
sons which have influenced him to
insure. Among Others he says:
II believe that life insurance is a
kind of every day, common righteous
ness to our fellows. and the faith
that is in me since my boyhood, soon
after which placed my first policy
of insurance while working on a
small salary, is still growing. l have
that policy Yeti is as good as gold,
and the company is forty years older,
think than when l took it out-cer-
tainly thirty-6ve. Soon after | came
into business, such was my interest
in life insurance and belief in its wis
dom, that one of the first reckless
things that | did was to make a
Christmas present of 81, 900 policy,
paid for year, to every man IN my
employ. l thought that that was a
good investment"
He says he simply worked out FIVE
conclusions as the result of his think
ing and without any moving cause
except his judgment he decided:
First, that at that time knew l
was iDsurable, and l could not be
certain of accident or ill health, and
it might be at some future time |
would not be insurable. That was
the first step to the building of sixty
two policies.
"Secoud, that life insurance was
one of the best forms of investment
because, from the moment it was
made, it was good for all it cost, and
carried with it guarantee that
there was a protection in that In
vestment that could not get in any
other.
Third, that life insurance, in the
long run, was saving fund that not
only saved but took average care O
nv deposits and took me into part
nership in possible profits, that not
infreuuently returned principle anc
interest and profit.
Fourth, that life insurance, re
garded from the standpoint OF quicl
, determination was more prohtabl'
than any other investment coult
make.
Fifth, that it enabled man t.
) give away all he wished during hi
, lifetime and still make such an estat

TOBACCO SEAsoN.-The rains last
and this week made fine tobacco
seasons and the transplanting was
measurably completed. The cool
temperature is favorable to the life
and growth of the plants in the hill.
From reports We should estimate
that a good, average acreage has
been set. A determination to grow
the best crop possible so far as care
in working the tobacco and push
hing it TO the utmost limit until it is
ripe, and handling it the very best
until ready to market, will be the
best course for the growers. As
past years have demonstrated, it is
labor thrown away to grow and
put on the market an inferior crop
of tobacco.
