The Export Orange Trade.


The export of oranges from Mexico
to the United States, says the Mexi-
can Herald, is becoming voluminous.
Up to last year there was not more
than one hundred carloads of oranges
shipped from this country to the
United States, but the heavy frosts
in Florida, in the winter of 1896, not
only killed the fruit of that state but
the trees as well. This caused a short
age in the states and in looking over
the field for more oranges the dealers
turned to this country for a heavier
supply than ever, and many new IA
cilities were introduced to handle
the business.
Last year there were shipped from
this country to the states about four
hundred carloads of oranges. On a
close estimate it is predicted that
there will be exported to the states
this year anywhere from seven hun
dred to one thousand carloads. There
are five dealers now in the republic
who will ship the bulk of this
amount. One Chicago firm will begin
this week shipping from Jalapa and
Cordova in bulk, and they have ar
ranged their cars with trays so that
the fruit will not be injured in trans
portation.
This expectation of oranges is not
a temporary business, but one that
will be continuous. When the Flor
ida oranges come in they are earlier
than either the Mexican or California
oranges and the crop is generally ex-
hausted by the time the Mexican
crop comes in. Then for two months
September and October, the Mexican
orange is the only orange on the
markets of the United States and for
that reason the business will become
permanent. Exports of oranges are
made until about the first of Deem
Der, but in November the California
crop comes in, and of course that
shuts out a great deal of the Mexican
orange trade.
The Chicago firm above mentioned
will ship about seventy-fve carloads
in bulk, and if the trial is successful
this mode of shipment will be adopt
ed by it altogether.

OUR DEPENDENCE Is IN THE PEG
PIE.

II am not amongst those who fear
the people, they, and not the rich, are
our dependence for continued freedom.
And to preserve their independence
we must not let our rulers load us with
perpetual debts
These words of Thomas Jefferson
have peculiar application at this
time. 1t has become fashionable to
cry out that all men are demagogues
who believe in the capacity and the
right of the people to rule. Every
man who is protected in some special
privilege, or who desires some legis-
latiye advantage over his fellows, is
engaged in a crusade against the poll
cies advocated by such men as Jeffer-
son and Calhoun and Vance, and in
advocating that the solution of great
questions ought to be left to men who
have made special study of them.
This might turn out well if those
who have given most thought to great
questions were unselfish men, anxious
to promote the welfare of all the peo-
pie rather than to advance their in
dividua1 fortunes. But we have tried
the plan of letting the bankers do the
financiering for a quarter of century
and the manufacturers do the taxing
until we have been brought TO the
present hard times. The remedy is for
the people to do the legislating for
awhile. II am not amongst those who
fear the people" said Mr.. Jefferson,
'they, and not the rich, are our de-
pendence for continued freedom" And,
as with prophetic vision he saw the
Issue of gold bonds at the dictation of
gold spectators and ond-grabbers,
the sage of Monticello added, 'And to
preserve their independence we must
not let our rulers load us with per-
petual debts"

1916.

"It is the most dreadful spot on the
American continent" said a distin-
guishcd Frenchman who once visited
the notorious New York slum, known
as the Five Points" The same opin-
ion was expressed by Charles Dickens
after going through this dangerous
quarter with an armed police escort.
The Five Points, in those days, was
famous as the abode of thieves, thugs
and uurderers.
In recent years this unsavOrv dis
trict has undergone marked Inn
provement. To-day it compares favor
ably with similar quarters OF other
great cities and most Of TINS improve
ment is due 10 the celebrated Five
Points Mission and it's army of Chris
tian workers. This excellent organi-
zation has performed and IS perform
ing a great and noble work.
One Of the greatest works of the
mission is to minister to the sick and
it is a work that has been highly sue
cessful. And yet the officers of the
mission have been enabled to combat
n vast amount of sickness and afford
relief in many critical cases with the
aid OF but one standard remedy 1T is,

OPENING A sLUICE GATE

Relieves a dam of superabundance of
water. The bowels are kind of sluice
gate of the system, and serve to carry
off superfiuities which would otherwise
food and damage it. Constipation OBJ
structs this avenue of escape. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters opens it and re-
lieyes the system. This it does gently
and gradually, but completely, and
does not, like a violent purgative, grippe,
conyulse aud drench the bowels, and
leave them weak and unfit for efficient
service afterwards. On the contrary,
it invigorates and regulates at the same
time that it relieves them. 1t also
strengthens and imparts activity to
the stomach, liver and kidneys, coun-
teracts tendency to rheumatism and
invigorates the nervous system. For
the relief and prevention of chills and
fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague
and ague cake, it has no peer among
modern remedies. Persons conyalesc-
ing or suffering from the debility or
infirmities of age find it highly bene-

THE PURPOSE OF DEMONETIzA
TION.

Every man who has an idea above
eating and sleeping knows that the
purpose Of the decentralization OF sill
yer was to double the value OF gold
and to reduce the value of property
TO half it's salable price. And this con-
sequence followed. The foul deed was
perpetrated in 1873, when the paper
currency of the country was twenty
five to thirty per cent below par, when
all debts, public and private, had been
contracted in this deprecated curren-
CIV, and when property must be soid at
half its value to pay them. For de-
monetization not only enhanced the
value of the currency, but diminished
II. in amount; SO that between the
diminltion in value and in amount,
the purchasing power was douoled'
and twice as much property had TO be
sold under the Sheriff,s hammer as
would have been necessary to pay the
debts, even on the gold and silver
basis. The English capitalists and
their allies in this country, who had
bought United States bonds and loaned
money to Americans to build railroads
foresaw this consequence, and went to
work TO put silver out of the way.
The first step was to get through
Congress a declaratory act, to the eff
feet that all government obligations
should be redeemed in coin, which
then consisted of gold and silver. The
next was, as above stated, to stop the
coinage in 1878 and demonetize the sill
yer dollar; and the third was to declare,
in 1875, that on the first day Of Jan
uary, 1870, all debts, public and pri-
vate, should be redeemed in gold.

4 CARD FROM COL. KEoGH.

To the Editor: A statement in your
issue Of this morning purporting to
reproduce remarks made by me in
a private conversation concerning Mr..
i. G. L. Harris, elected secretary of the
Republican State committee, was dis
agreeable surprise. Whether it was
the work Of an eavesdropper or a sup
posed friend, it appears equally mex
cusable, and it seems to me could only
have been designed to work personal
injury. A generous hospitality should
at least save gentlemen from the pub
lication of what they may say in hotel
corridors, as well as in the secluslon
OF their private rooms. Many verbal
passes between friends, INDUCED in in 9
ocular way assume very di1fereIa
color when put in cold type.
| have known Mr.. Harris Intimately
for upwards of twenty-five years. Our
personal relations have always been
pleasant. | have ever found him man
of kindly disposition; free from envy
or malice, and / regret exceedingly
this occurrence.
We have differed often about per-
sonal preferences in politics; party
policy and party management. Often
we have been widely apart in these
matters. This, however, has never in
terrupted our personal friendly rela-
tions. There was 10 reason why
should have made any pointed, I'M
friendly criticism about the election OF
a secretary of the Republican State
committee / was not interested in
any way For that place there is no
man in the State better equipped than
Mr.. Harris, in experience, mental re-
sources and ability.
/ seldom have recourse to the press
or trouble it with personal matters
but in this case / feel that justice to
Mr.. Harris and common fairness to
myself, compel me to ask this kindness
at your hands.
Truly yours,
T. b. KEOGH.

been prescribed by many eminent ply
siciaus.
In speaking Of this matter not long
ago, the Rev. j, H. Beale, financial
agent of the Five Points Mission, said:
"a remedy largely used among the
people connected with our mission is
Warmers Safe Cure, and I am able to
state that they have received great
benefit from it and are ready to tes-
tify thereto"
Mrs. n. Elliott, visitor of the mis-
sion expresses a similar opinion. She
says: "After using Warmers Safe
Cure among our mission people for sew
eral months. / regard it as a public
duty to endorse it as a safe aud sure
cure for liver and kidney and female
complaints. One very severe ease,
which had been given over by the doc
tors, was supplied with bottle, and
the improvement was so marked as to
inspire new courage and hope, causing
her to feel like a new woman. This is
only one case Of many"
Nothing ever known i'm the history
of the world has equalled Warmers Safe
Cure for making men, women, and
even children healthier and happier.
Don't you think it would be good
plan to try it?
