Archbishop Ireland for Mckinley

Archbishop Ireland is out in a flaming
encyclical letter for Mckinley. And why
not? Is there any thing on the American
continent that accords so nearly with the
hierarchy as this goldbug policy which
poor McKinly is being compelled to stand
for? Can any protestant read and under
stand the deep significance of this en-
cyclical letter of the Archbishops and
vote for Mckinley? Not if he has the
intelligence to comprehend its dark
meaning. Mr.. Ireland sees i'll the
Supreme Court that infallibility which
makes the voice of the Vatican changeless
divine law. The Supreme Court is his
ideal of government because it is a true
copy of hierarchy In the Bishops
opinion the voice of those nine old law
yers constituting that convenient tool of
hoped for despotism of the American
future is more sacred than the liberties of
10 millions of people, more infallible,
more wise than the chosen representa-
tives of the people constituting the
Congress of this great nation What the
Archbishop says on the silver question is
OF no consequence. 1t is dipped from the
turbid stream that flows through the
daily press. He knows nothing of finan-
cial science, of monetary laws, his silver
views are not worth reading They are
but rehash of the goldbug press editorials
lamely expressed by an unskilled work
man. His heart is i'll the infallibilitv of
the Supreme Court and the military arm
OF the National Executive. In personal
government standing with drawn sword
ready to sinite the Anarchists" the
mob" for the people are all of these in
MS mind, who murmur against oppression
and wrong they are made to suffer from
unjust class laws. They are the heretics
OF the present time and deserve death as
the heretics of old time merited exter-
mination at the stake, who complained
ofthe slavery corrupt, tyrannical priest
hood doomed them to.
This IS the spirit the vital part of the
Archbishop's encyclical breathes. Slavery
TO the masses; personal government up.
held by the doctrine of infallibility. The
two wings of the money power have met
In this campaign and clasped hand like
Plate and Herod the Jew and the Vatican
and are preparing to cruelty the great
republic and her sacred institutions on q
cross of gold.
The Archbishop has thrown down the
glove. ofthe Pope to the A. P. A will they
tlke II up or scatter like flock of fright
ened sheep at the howl of the wolf? Not
only is the glove thrown down to them
put to every American who has any man

Catching at Straws.-Silver and
Wheat.

The goldbug press grasp eagerly at
every straw which chance floats their way.
The sudden rise in the price of wheat, while
there was decline in silver, is declared
by the goldites to be conclusive proof
that there is no relation whatever be-
tween the value of silver and the price of
wheat. To our mind the present condi-
tons which caused the sudden rise in the
price of wheat, which was not followed
by rise in silver, but on the contrary a
decline, furnish the strongest proof yet
presented that the low price of American
silver has been the most potent power in
beating down the price of American wheat
in the Liverpool market, which caused
the market everywhere to sympathise
with it.
There is a great failure of the wheat
crop in India and other countries south of
the equator. Sixty millions of people are
starving i'll India on account of the failure
of crops caused by long drouth. India,
in place of being an exporter of wheat,
has suddenly changed to an importer
Wheat is being shipped from the United
States 10 Calcutta, instead as formerly
from Calcutta to Liverpool. India and
other Southern hemisphere countries have
ceased to be competitors of the United
States and have become customers.
Silver is not needed to purchase wheat
in India, there being none to purchase,
consequently the demand for American
silver for the India wheat market has
ceased, and as the most natural conse-
quence the price, obeying the law of
supply and demand, has fallen, as wheat,
influenced by the same law, has risen in
price. Wheat being in demand in India
is being shipped there, and the price has
risen in the United States. Silver not
being in demand in India to purchase
wheat the price has fallen

South Florida's Superior Sugar Cane.

South Florida's Superior Sugar Cane
After span of observation and
experience in cane culture stretch
ing across nearly forty years large
portion of which has been spent in
the southern parts of Florida, [ feel
perfectly safe in assuming that no
individual crop, as continuous one,
will ever excel that of the sweet
cane. [ do not contend against it's
profitable production in other por
tions of the state. For nOtWithstand-
ing there is in the main a lack of
one or more cardinal constituents in
bringing the canes up to their best
proportion, north of % or 20 parallel,
in both quantity and quality, yet
there are redeeming features in every
way sufficient to encourage the larg-
est investments of money and labor.
In comparison with the success of
the crop in Louisiana which though
subject to occasional freezes, is by no
means discOuraging, what has any
individual locality to fear even in
West Florida? If climatic conditions
in Louisiana especially length of
time in which to mature the canes up
to their highest test of sugar en-
courages it's production with cOntin-
ued increase of acreage for upwards
of half a century, then is no portion
of Florida, and especially that south
of Goth parallel, that need be looked
upon with the least dread of suspi-
cion. AS to the southern portion of
Florida were I to affirm that as COM
pared favorably with Cuba in climat-
ic conditions, and especially as to
suitable length of time for the cane
developments into sugar, [ do not
think that [ would deviate as far
from common sense and truth as do
"Mr. Phenis'' and Mr.. Eliot of the
Florida Department of Agriculture,
who affirm that the soil of Wakula

produce more cane to the acre, and
of better quality and for less money
than any other section of the world.

Southern States on the "Hill country

Now to a man who has been a cane
producer for a quarter of a century,
and an observer of the crop for near
ly forty years in every county with
in an area of four hundred miles
long and more than one hundred in

Florida Jute.
rida AgriculturiSt:

Editor Florida Agr1cultur1St:
From Mr.. G. w. Parsons book,
''The Fibre Bearing Plants of Flor
ida," we take the following chapter
ON Florida Jute.
This plant is Indigenous to Florida
soil and climate, and is found grow
ing in a wild, uncultivated condition
in nearly every part of the state. 1t
is commonly known as Caesar
Weed" and termed by some as
'French Cookie Burr"
This plant produces and excellent
fibre, which is found in the bark of
the plant, and belongs to that class
known as bast fbres, as jute, ramie,
etc. The fibre is long, fine, soft, near
ly white and has a silk-like lustre,
and in the opinion of competent au-
thorities, will make an excellent sub
stitute for flax.
The following in regard to Urena
Lobata appears in a work entitled
''The Uncultivated Bast Fibres of the
United States," by Mr. Charles Rich
ards Dodge, and known as United
States Department of Agriculture
Report No. S.
Another malvaceous plant which
grows wild all over India, and which
is common in Florida, is Urena Lo-
bata. 1t also abounds in South Amer
lea, it's Brazilian name being GuaXi-
ma, or Uaixyma, while it is known in
Venezuela as Cadillo. It's Indian
name is Bun-Ochra, the natives of In
dia considering it's fibre useful for
manufacture into sacking and twine.
1t is called a ''tolerable substitute for
hemp"
DR.. Ernst, Director of the National
Museum, Caracas, Venezuela, de-
scribes the fibre as very fine, white
in color, and meter in length. It
is very strong, and takes dyes read
lily.
Fibre of Urena Lobata was received
from Brazil exhibition, 1876), where
it is extracted readily and makes
very strong cordage. "It takes color
well, and the dyes are lasting" In

the East Indies it has been used for
the manufacture of paper. Spon
states that slips of sized paper weigh
ing 80 grains made from this fibre
sustained rs pounds against Bank of
England note pulp AZ pounds. Urena
Sinuata is another Indian species.
[ have found Urena Lobata grow
ing in many portions of Florida, both
on the east and west coasts, though I
have never seen it's slender stalks
over three feet in height. 1t was sew
eral times pointed out to me as FRA
mie,' by people who had never seen
the true ramie growing. Recently
the plant has been sent to the De-
partment from several localities in
Florida, with inquiries as to it's value
commercially. A common name at
tached to the plant in Florida is
Caesar Weed"
This plant, in common with many
other Florida weeds, grows up in the
early spring and summer months,
and dies down in the late autumn AS
Mr.. Dodge was conducting his expe-
riments in Florida during the winter
and early spring, the plant was not
at it's best when it came under his
observation.
MIR. Ed. L. Owens, of Dade City,
Fla, has experimental with the
sanguine as to it's great value as a
producing plant. In writing
of his experiments, Mr.. Owens says:
81 have some plants in cultivation
that grew from eight to ten feet high
and from 11a to two inches in diane
ter, and the branches would reach
out from four to six feet. The plant
looks very much like the cotton
plant, and branches out like the cot
ton plant, and when young could cas-
lily be taken for it. If planted in
rows from three to six inches in the
drill it will grow perfectly straight
and branch out but little. After my
plants matured [ extracted the fibre
form the bark, which was done by
placing the stalks in water for eight
or ten days, when the fibre could cas-
lily be removed with the hands. I
know two to three cuttings can be
made in a year, and when once plant
ed and taken root the plant is there
for all time.''
The method used by Mr.. Owens in
the fibre, is identical with
that practiced by the natives of In
dia in producing jute. The recently
invented ramie decorticators work
with an almost equal efficiency upon
jute stalks, as upon ramie, and there
can be but little doubt, with, possible
slight notifications, that they would
do equally as we'll with the stalks of

favorable north of it can be supplied
at a trifing cost but that which is
deficient north or west of this line
can never be supplied.
That there may be no mistake in
the allusion here, I will mention at
least the required allotment of time
necessary for the growth and matur-
ity of the canes in order to its best
yield of sugar. Now any where
but especially for many miles out
from the gulf coast, the length of
time for cane maturity in both guam
tity and quality will, as before stated,
compare favorably with Cuba if time
for maturity be allowed; SO nearly
so at least no uneasiness as to dam
age by frost need be entertained, as
we we'll know it is in both west and
middle Florida. Eight years ago we
planted a small plot of cane between
lakes Tochopopka and Ttsopogayotee
(Clinch and Reedy) which gave un
for four successive years and with
out replanting, some of which set
beautiful blooms, indicating full ma
turity in sugar contents according
to the decision of Claus Sprecl1les,
based on long experience in the trop-
les. And we had no. uneasiness as to
damage from frost.
From my experience in this local
ity of south Florida, [ feel satisfied
that our climatic conditions, all over
this part of the gulf coast especially,
are more favorably to quantity if
not as much as to quality, than any
of those localities farther north and
west. AS to wealth in virgin soil we
may be deficient in quantity, yet
much of it is as rich as any in the
state; and HernandO county especial
ly contains large bodies of the rich
est hammock, while we have on the
gulf coast many smaller bodies of
such land. Our muck lands are be-
ing fast redeemed by drainage in
bodies of thousands of acres and is
destined to add millions upon mil
lions to our farming interest Much
of this land will produce sufficient
quantity of cane to yield three tons
of sugar per acre. Crooked Lake
marsh has at least 1000 acres of such
land now almost fit for the plow.
Back up the peninsula a little
across from the east coast to that of
the west the producers of cane are
much like the producers of citrus
fruits, they fear the results of cold.
They can't help being in dread every
fall and winter; past experience of
the old blue blizzard causes this.
