PROTECTION FOR ALMONDS.

The almond-growers of California have
acted wisely in beginning at once the
movement to procure from the National
Government an adequate protection for
the prod cts of their industry. They
have taken advantage of the annual con-
ven tion of the State Fruit Growers Asso-
citation at Sacramento to hold prelimi-
nary convention of their own and take
steps for the promotion of the needed
legislation.
In memorial to Congress the almond
growers set forth that the climate and soil
of California and other States on the Pa
ci6c Coast are adapted to the growth of
the almond. and that the tree is now be-
ing extensively cultivated. They repre-
sent further that, owing to the great COM
petition OF foreign-grown almonds sold in
our home market and the low tariff
on the imported almond, there is no
profit for the home product. The memo
rial states that there is scarcely an
almond-grower in California who has
made the slightest percentage of profit in
the last ten years. and asserts that the bust
ness has been conducted at loss and that
the loss will continue until the tariff on
imported almonds is revised to meet the
exigencies of the industry.
1t is claimed by the growers that the

trees and tearing loose the ground and rocks.
The gun in the hand of good gunner can
do effective work at the distance of a mile,
though the best range for certain work is half
of that distance. When to this is added the
certainty of aim of which the gun is capable
in expert hands, and the effect OF the
explosion of the projectile, the result when 1t
imagined.
The work done by the gun in battle is thus
described: sit was on the 18th of the month
that we met two Spanish columns, which
meant battle with even forces. AS we
reached hilltop overlooking a narrow valley
we saw the Spaniards on top OF the next hill,
only quarter of a mile away. They were at
work throwing up a line OF Notifications.
IA few shots were exchanged. when Maceo
ordered our gun forward and had 1t trained
on the enemy. He stood by the piece and OBJ
served us closely as we prepared to fire, and
when the report was heard he watched the re-
suit with the deepest interest.
1.-THE aim was too low and the shot fell short
of its mark. No one was injured, but the
effect of the explosion on the ground where 1t
struck apparently astonished the Spanierds,
for they ceased firing for several minutes.
"During those minutes we were preparing for
the second shot. The muzzle of the gun was
raised q little when all was in readiness and the
command to fire was given. This time the aim
was perfect and the deadly projectile was
thrown over the brow OF the hill and into the
very midst of the Spanish troops The explo-
sion brought CONSERVATION. the shot had
disappearing from sight, did not fire another
gun that night
ave waited for morning to renew the battle,
but as soon as it was light the enemy fired
one bonn bshell and then retreated. The battle
was won by that one shot from our gun"

THE TOURIST SEASON.

According to reports from Chicago, the
severity of the blizzard in the East has
greatly stimulated the rush of travel to
California. As rule, the tourists do not
begin to come into the State in large num-
bers until after the holidays, but the re-
cent cold snap has induced thousands of
people to abandon the idea of spending
Christmas at home in the snowdrifts and
to start at once for the land of winter SUM-
shine.
The report from Chicago says: 'In-
quiries at the offices of all the leading
lines develop the fact that hundreds of
Chicago people are leaving for the balmy
climate of the Pacific Coast. Two lines
say that all the berths on two different
trains were engaged for that night and
reservations were being received fast.
There are people at all the ticket-offices
lined up at the counter buying tickets and
reserving berths."
Phe coming of these tourists into the
State will probably mean something more
than good business for the hotels. It Is
fair to assume that among those who come
out this winter there will be many who
will seek something more than a tenn
porary escape from the blizzard season.
Not few of those who come into the
State will come here with the intention of
making permanent homes for themselves.
We may, therefore, count on an incoming
of home-seekers and settlers as well as of
passing tourists.
There has never been in late years a
better opportunity for home-seekers to
come to California than at this season.
Land prices at the present time are down
to bedrock basis. There is not symp-
tom OF a 5oom in any portion of the State.
The man who buys land in California to-
day will obtain it for exactly what it is
worth to-day. He will not have to dis
count the future. He will not be expected
to pay for rural land price dependent
upon the supposition that a great city will
eventually be constructed on it.
This fact, we believe, is fairly under
stood in the East The people of that sec
ton are aware that in California. as
every where else, the long depression of
the past three years has had the effect of
bringing all. prices down to the level of
legitimate business propositions. There
is no longer any speculation in California
real estate. The hoIne-seeker or the in
weston will get his moneys worth :everv
time and can count on sure profit from
/ the start

AN ALABAMA REF0RMER.
New York sun.


There is somebody in Alabama who has
genius for reform and evidently has set up of
nights for months for the purpose of finding
evils to reform The result of these long ses-
sions of thought has just appeared, and will
not disappoint the high expectations OF the
public. The reformer has prepared bill pro-
hipiting woman from wearing shirt. waist
or any other piece of raiment which copies the
garb of man. There can be nothing more i'm
portant for the Alabama Legislature to do than
to pass q law in restraint of the shirt waist 1t
does not appear what specific injury that gar
ment infiicts upon the sensibilities OF Ala
bama but in these matters 1t is better to trust
to the reformer. Clearly he wishes TO asso-
ciate his name with great measure, to go
down TO history as the destroyer of great evil,
and Alabama is SO fortunate that no greater
evil than this shirt waist is IN sight. When
the law is passed, the total and instant disap-
pearance OF the prohibited article may be ex-
pected. Will any woman in Alabama wish or
dare to wear a shirt waist after the Legislature,
in the plentiful of its wisdom, has forbidden
the use OF that thing? VIII not every woman
in Alabama be struck more forcibly than ever
with the superiority OF leglsiating man, and
see the wickedness of trying u initiate the
clothes of such magnificent creature? Oh,
this Ala bama lawgiver knows the feminine
nature. He has no doubt of the success of his
plan. He must be great man, and We should
like to have his picture.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

The Monetary Conference which assem-
bled at Indianapolis yesterday will hardly
attract much attention from the country
generally, no matter how capable may
be the men who engage in it. The
people have elected a President and a
Congress to deal with the monetary prob
lens, and they are not likely to give any
great consideration to anything which
may be said or done by volunteer con-
vention on the subject.
From the tone of the call for this con-
ference it seems to be the beginning of an
agitation for the retirement OF greenbacks.
In other words, it. is an attempt. to revive
the platform of the Indianapolis eonven-
ton on which Palmer and Buckner were
nominated. The'conference, therefore, is
likely to be composed of the advocates OF
the Cleveland monetary policy, and it is
probable that whatever resolutions ii
adopts will be in accordanc Herewith.
tbs of course impossible to predict what
course will be followed by the conference,
since the men who are to take part in it are
drawn from boards of trade and are not
widely known. Their convictions on the
subject, therefore, are largely matters oil
speculation. 1t is possible that those who
called the conference may not be able to
control its proceedings and the resolu-
tions adopted may be quite different from
what was expected by those who designed
the gathering. This uncertainty is the
only thing which gives degree of interest
to the assembly.
It was the intention of the promoters
of the plan to make the conference simply
preliminary to larger one to be held
later on. Whether this plan is carried
out will depend of course on how the
present conference acts. If 1t should fol-
low the programme we may expect an
other convention to be called for, and an
active agitation for the retirement OF
greenbacks to be begun. IT. however, the
conference breaks away from the leaders,
the work will probably end with its ad-
journment.
The country pretty well understands by
this time that the Cleveland theory of the
''endless chain is not true. The cam
paign of education which ended in the re-
cent election amply demonstrated the fact
that the drain on the gold reserve was
caused not so much by our financial sys-
tenn as by the tariff system which fur
nished revenue inadequate to the needs
of the Government. A Republican tariff
will materially alter all the circumstances
of the case, and the demand for the re.
tirement of greenbacks which Cleveland
SO diligently promoted will, in all proba-
bility, end with the ending of the deficit
tariff

THE PooLROoMs.

After long delay the Board of Supervi.
sors has passed to print the much dis
cussed poolroom ordinance, and there i.
now reasonable hope it will be enacted
into law, and put an end to an evil which
has too long been tolerated in San Fran.
CISCO
The measure was framed with great
care and was deliberately argued and dis
cussed at the time when it was first plo.
posed to the board. Reduced to it's iss,
analysis it prohibits all forms of betting
money or anything else on horseraces
conducted within the limits of San Fran.
cisco, except within the confines of the
racetrack. 1t therefore closes up the
downtown poolrooms and tends to re-
move one of the greatest sources of evil
which exist among us.
At the time the ordinance was pro-
posed THE CALL gave it the most cordial
support and repeatedly urged Its passage
in the interests of morality and public
welfare. We pointed out that these down
town poolroonls are constant source oil
temptation to the youth of the City and
that many of the patrons of such estab-
l1shments were little more than boys.
We repeatedly called attention to the
evils resulting from the maintenance .oi
such places within the City and specified
many instances of injury occasioned by
them.
Every argument which was urged in
favor of the ordinance at that time could
be urged again. The evils which existed
then are equally potent now. Neverthe,
less we believe it will not be necessary tc
go over the old ground. The vote by
which the ordinance was passed to print
was unanimous, and there is reason foi
believing the opposition to it has praeti.
cally come to an end.
When the ordinance is enacted the PEG.
pie of San Francisco can congratulate
themselves on having taken one long ster
forward in the direction of reform. One
great evil which has long been tolerated
will be in fair way of removal from the
City. There can be no doubt that the
officers of the law will be vigilant in en-.
forcing the ordinance and it will be effect.
i've at once. This will be victory fo1
good government and the better element
of the people, which will encourage fur.
ther effort in the same direction. Let the
good work 20 on.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-12-02

selling price of almonds is from 10 to IL
cents pound, and they desire the tariff
on foreign almonds increased from to
cents pound. They ask for higher
tariff than that fixed by the Mckinley
bill. The request is founded on good rea-
sons and certainly deserves favorable con
sideration from Congress when the work
OF tariff reform begins.
There are two factors in the problem of
the almond industry which give an adj
vantage to the foreign producer over the
Californian. One is the rate of wages paid
in the cultivation and harvesting of the
crop, and the other is the rate of trans
portation to the Eastern market. In Cali
fornia the average wages of persons en-
ployed in the almond industry Is 81 day,
while in Europe it is only 16 cents q day.
The European, moreover, sends his crop
to New York by the cheap transportation
of ocean steamers, while the California
crop has to pay the high rates fixed by the
railroads. These factors are sufficient to
overcome every advantage which Califor-
MIA has of soil and climate, and leave the
industry in this State helpless to compete
with that of the foreign producer.
consideration of these Facts would be
sufficient to convince all genuine protec-
tionists of the justice of the request. which
the almond-growers have put forward.
Nevertheless, it was an act of wisdom on
their part to begin an agitation on the
subject at once. The prod ucers of other
crops in California may we'll profit by this
example. The sooner we begin to put for
ward our claims for protection, the more
certain we are to attain success. Nothing
can be lost by starting early, while delay
may prove disastrous in the extreme.
