THE California fruit growers have
been in session and agreed upon the
measure of protection needed by that
industry so that they may be enabled
to continue in the business of furnish
ing the country with the fruits peculiar
to the Mediterranean countries at the
most reasonable rates. Probably the
climate and soil of California are
superior to those of the LevaLt, Spain,
Italy or France In the production of
these fruits, but they have at the same
time the disadvantage of expensive
labor and long and costly land car
riage. If something were not done to
reduce this inequality there would be
no such thing as competition of the
home article with the foreign and
general reduction OF prices to the con-

It is reported on credible authority that some certain alleged republicans at Phoenix are working to secure a fusion of the republican and populist parties in Arizona, to elect Bucky O'Neili to congress. On that proposi- tion THE OASIS can be classed right now as earnestly opposed. There is nothing in common between the re- publican and populist parties, and there is nothing to be gained, except by Mir. 0'Neill in an alliance so unholy. The republican party is one of princl- pie, and all true republicans in Arl- zona will prefer to see their party go forward to defeat on it's own prlp- ciples, and under it's own chosen lead CTS, rather than aid in the triumph of candidate representing proposi- tions so widely opposed to everything which their party has always adyo- cated and maintained.
 It is to be hoped that the coming territorial republican convention will positively and indignantly resent such proposition, should one be sprung. Should the conspirators succeed in the nefarious scheme those opposing it should immediately organize an- other convention, nominate straight ticket, upon platform straightly in consonance with the superb declara- tion of principles adopted by the con yention which nominated Mckinley and Hobart.
 It is bounden duty for all patriotic republicans to maintain pure and un- sullied the party faith. 'No compro- mise with heresy; no fusion with populism."

Prices of all fancy groceries, nuts, crackers, etc., are exactly twice as much in Mexican silver as in Ameri- can silver, the actual value of the Mexican dollar being at present 53t cents.
 Should Bryan be elected, and with him congress which will pass a law providing for free and independent coinage of silver by the United States every workman in this country is in terested in pertinent inquiry as to what will be the effect of such cleo tion upon the above price list? II the United States throws open it's hints to free coinage of silver, as Mex leo practically does now, will the American silver dollar continue to buy as much as it now does, or will the prices of all goods, as expressed in American silver dollar, rise to level or above those of the Mexican dollar: If they rise that way here they will rise in the same proportion all over the United States, and every Ameri' can workingman will find the purchas- ing power of his wages and the stand ard of his living cut one half. Be fore voting for policy like that the American workingman should ponder long and well. And he should vote for that party which has always stood for paying the highest wages to American worklngmen, and which now insists that they shall be [ aid in dollars with the highest purchasing power.

As heretofore stated in TIE OASIS in Nogales, situated on both sides of the line, both American and Mexican money circulate, and all articles will be sold for gold or silver price, as the purchaser may desire. An American silver dollar, being backed by gold, will bay nearly, if not quite double the quantity of all commodities.

DrDN,T TRY ANYTHING ELSE.

The Western Watchman makes a pertinent suggestion by asking "why not apply little of the Monroe doc Urine to this money question? A lit- tie over one hundred years ago, when Washington was president, Hamilton secretary of the treasury, and Jeffer- son secretary of state, and we had 1000, ,0O0 of population as against the British 32,000,00 they did not ask Great Britain what our financial sys- tenn should be.

 But Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson took the bullion value of gold and silver in the London Great Britain market, as the ratio for their coinage. Had they tried anything else they would now be held up as having made dismal failure.

THE Gazette and-apparently- some other democratic newspapers in Arizona, have jumped upon the GUS toms officials at Nogales for joining the posse which went in pursuit of tEe bank robbers. The good democratic newspapers quoted asserted that GUS toms officials 'haye no right to chase bank robbers This has prompted a rejoinder, directly from the criticised officials, in the Gazette, and in the Tombstone Prospector, that the bank robbers were also smugglers, were riding contraband horses, and that tue customs officials were chasing them in that character, and not as bank rob bers. Collector Webb and his subor- dinates can now understand why the Examiner correspondent at Nogales and THE OASIS omitted mention Of their part in chasing the robbers. That the robbers were also smugglers was not known when the reports were prepared, and the Examiner cores pondent and TIE OASIS did not want to give away the fact that the custom house crowd were such lunkheads as they seemed. But lunkhead never let's slip him a chance to show his true character. In writing to tue Ex- aminer a complaint that he had been overlooked MT. Webb evidently had not yet heard from the Gazette.
