INDORSING HIM.
Siskiyou Reporter: Judson Brusie of
Sacramento is his party's nominee for
State Senator to represent that county.
Knowing Mr.. BruSie as we do, and be-
lieving him to be Of the strictest integ-
rity and probity, we should like to see
him elected and believe that he will be.
He is young man Of exceptional abil-
1ty and is one Of the most accomplished
orators In Sacramento. He has rep
resented his district in the lower branch
OF the State Legislature with marked
olstinction. and in the broader sphere
OF usefulness as Senator he will add
greater laurels to his legislative career
TREAT WHEAT THAT WAY.
Redding Free Press: Treat wheat as
silver has been treated, say the Bryan
advocates, and wheat will depreciate.
Wheat has had the benefit of the mar
kets OF the world, yet it has not gone
up TO 81 - bushel. Again, under the
sherman law, the entire product of the
silver mines Of America was purchased
and certificates issued to represent It.
yet silver did not advance In price
But WHAT'S the use Of trying to draw
parallel between wheat and silver
Inc one Is produced, consumed and en-
ters as waste into nature. The other
Is produced, its form changed. but Is
not consumed: 1t still continues in use
except small proportion, that which

FULL OF DIGNITY.
Red Bluff Peoples Cause: The people
know Mr.. Mckinley to be sincere man.
Livery little address delivered to a Wis
itng delegation Is full of dignity and
trimming over with sincerity of pur-
pose. His hearers and his readers

MUST WAIT.
OroV1iie Register: A widow Of this
town VINO has some dried fruit for
sale lately went to Marysville to dis
pose OF 1T. She tried two of the most
prominent merchants who handle dried
fruits and both gave her the same
answer: We have concluded not to
buy any fruit until after election. we
cannot tell how business Will be then
and we have concluded to wait and see
how the election goes ere we invest anv
money in dried fruits"
GROWING BRIGHTER.
Placer Argus: BY the papers of the
southern counties in the Second Con-
gressional District we learn that Hon.
Grove l. johnson is speaking to larger
audiences than ever before. and that
his chances for reelection are all the
time growing brighter.
A QUESTION.
Stockton Independent: Papers that
support the silver cause still protest
against the payment of wages In silver
Now that the silver dollar Is worth its
full face value it Is not good enough for
silveritss. what will 1t be when Il Is
worth only its market value? This
question has been often asked in the
Independent but no silver1te has over
attempted an answer.
PRUNES AND PRUNE-GROWER
Los Angeles Express: Four years
ago the pruns-growers Of California
had a very hourishing industry. A
correspondent Of the New York 'Tri-
bune." writing from Pomona, repeats
what every prune-grower knows, but
the facts need to be repeated for the
information OF others: "The Wilson
7vrv- 1oxr
dried prunes from two and one-half
cents pound to one cent, and the
value Of the crop has gone down very
rapidly In the last three years. not
withstanding that the California prune
had almost entirely driven the product
from France. Italy and Turkey from
the American market. In the season OF
1892 good prunes fresh from the trees
sold for S35 ton. In 1894 the same
product brought $50 a ton, and last
year the price lowered to $50 a ton.
This year the very best prunes bring
SIS a ton, but the general market price
is SIS ton. There has been little or no
planting Of the fruit for three years,
and the present outlook is that there
will be absolutely no setting out of
prune orchards In California in the
planting season Of next winter It is
estimated by the Los Angeles Times
that the capital invested in the grow
ing of prunes-that Ls in the land,
trees, fencing, irrigation systems and
devices for watering prune groves. tools
and horticultural implements-is about
$1e,OOO.OOO Ten years ago the total
capital invested in the prune industry
was less than $S00.000."
THEY REMEMBER.
Marysville Appeal: The man Of mid
die age who lived in California from
1875 to 1878 and whose memory will
bring back the financial losses and in
conveniences suffered by every wage
worker because Of the flood Of silver
dollars that would not pass at parity
with gold Is not apt to be very enthusi-
astic for a return Of those times-unless
his desire for a change is sufficiently
strong to overcome his judgment.
A MATTER OF SUGAR.
Kern Standard: California will in the
near future be the leading sugar local
ity Of the country should the Repub-
lican cause be successful in this cam
paign. The splendid success made in
the culture Of sugar beets and the ex-
traction Of the saccharine granules
therefrom bespeak a future prosperity
not only for the industry, but the en-
tire State.
NOT A CENT.
Redding Free Press: mot one cent of
capital will be invested In Shasta
County mines while the free silver SEN
timent prevails" remarked a repre-
sentative Of rich mining syndicate the
other night. This does not scare us, be-
