"BRYAN'S GREAT VICTORY"
How Can He be Convinced of His De-
feat

The following from the Marysville
Appeal contains a great deal of valu-
able information:
In his speeches since election day Mr.
Bryan has frequently claimed that
though not elected, he won a substan-
tial victory in the late contest An ex
change has been examining into this
matter and submits the following fig
ures:
Population-States carried by McKin-
ley 43, 3,65O,26O. States carried by Bryan
1871 ,974.
Assessed Property Values-States car
ried by Mckinley $20,77O 53S, 900.
States carried by Bryan 81 800 0OO, 900.
Workmen Employed-States carried
by Mckinley 4O69,413. States carried
by Bryan 636, ,561.
Annual Wages Paid-States carried by
Mckinley 81 ,991 ,504 043. States carried
by Bryan $273,S9O,5 ,544
Percentage of Illiterates-States car
ried by Mckinley 81. States carried
by Bryan AS
summarizing the above figures it ap-
pears that States having nearly 10 per
cent. of the population of the country,
50 per cent. of the property, 80 per cent
OF the wage earners, paying annually
90 per cent. of the wages voted for Nc
Kinley, While States containing less
than 30 per cent. of the population and
IL per cent. of the wage earnerS voted
for Bryan. The illiteracy is still more
convincing and decisive of the right and
wrong of this question. The percentage
of illiteracy in the Bryan States is four
times that in the Mckinley States.
All the great manufacturing States
were carried by the Republicans as well
as all the great agricultural States, ex-
cept Missouri and Kansas, together with
the greatest mining commonwealth.
Such is Mr.. Bryan's victory. What
treatment will be required to make him
and his supporters feel that they have
been defeated? They began a campaign
of extravagant assertions and claims
and ended it with the votes of q few
States that not many people will claim
should tOntrOl this country

before delivery at the railroad depot,
owing to the juice eXuding and gather
ing the dust. Many of them rotted and

While the absence of brands enabled
unscrupulous dealers to mix the poor

The dissatisfaction was so great that
radical change had to be made Last
year a large proportion of the crop was
boxed and this year a larger proper
ton than ever. Every wholesale ship
per and every exchange should have a
trade mark with which to brand all
their boxes, after seeing them carefully
and honestly packed, and when this be-
comes the rule we may expect a very
decided Improvement in the present
condition of the business. The writer
has always considered this a matter of
such vital Importance that his tempo
rary withdrawal from active participa-
ton in the business is largely due to
this cause
Every food product of any real merit
produced in the East or Europe is
packed in attractive boxes with labels
and wrappers that are veritable works
of art Then why should such luscious
fruit as well-cured prune be SHOW
eled into sacks like potatoes? The
prune business has so far been an alb
solute gamble. one years experience be-
ing no guide to the next. Our careless
methods of shipping have been largely
responsible for this, as buyers could not
be induced to buy pig in the poke"
but a uniform system of shipping in
boxes under guaranteed trade marks
Will do more to solve the problem of
overproduction and proper distribution
than any other one factor in the busi

proved orchards nearly ready to bear
are selling to-day for just what the
bare land was held at five years ago.
Land in Santa Clara County that was
then selling at $500 per acre can now
be had for 500 per acre, and the de-
cline is still more marked in other parts
of the State. There are no more Sl,OOO
per acre orchards now; SOU per acre
commands the cream of the valley, ana
while we all know that it is all Grover
Cleveland's fault still the fact exists
nevertheless. Prune trees were then
worth in the nursery $40 per thousand;
now 50 per thousand. Inc Tuiare
Times" states that a fine prune or
cbard of forty acres near Visalia
planted in 1892 cost at end of three
years 81 ,S6S "a, less revenue from crops
between trees 1881 20, or $1,4SI 64 net
cost, or about $50 per acre. This would
make it cost two years hence when IN
bearing, including cost of land, SlOO per
acre. For these reasons the mad
scramble ceased some years ago, and
very few new orchards have been
planted since 1892, with the result that
there are 100000 growing prune trees
to-day as compared to 0,UO0,00O in 1S92,
or to make it clearer, while nearly a.
100000 trees were planted during the
four years ending 1892, less than L. ,0OO,-
600 have been planted since that time.
which would indicate that the danger
line is passed and a steady conserva-
tive future assured. Another encour-
aging feature is the great falling off in
importatiOns of foreign prunes, which
at that time were averaging 60,00O,OO0
pounds per annum, having been oOO,-
G0O000 for the six years ending Decem-
Der 81, 1891, while since that date for
five years ending December, 1896,
the importaions have been about g.
000000, or a little over 1900, 900
pounds per annum.
The prediction that thousands of
acres are being planted in unsuitable
locations which in a few years will be
producing millions of pounds of infe-
rior fruit, which will bring down our
good fruit to price leaving but very
small margin of profit has already
been realized. In other words, the cur
rent price during 1892 was nine cents,
while of late three cents has been a
good average price. Santa Clara VAL
ley is not responsible for these cOndi-
tions, because her product unadulter-
ated with those of less favored regions
would still command good prices, but
the large percentage of small prunes
naturally resulting from allowing trees
to overbear in a hot climate, and the
careless Shiftless cultivation incident
thereo, has brought about the dreaded
result and the word California in this
connection now covers a multitude of
sins. Already these inferior goods are
being shipped to San Jose to be re-
shipped as Santa Clara products, and it
is high time that this traffic be stopped.

TIE CULTURE OF THE PRUNE.
Considered From a Commercial Stand
point.
An Interesting Paper on the Subject
by a rIan of Practical
Experience.

One Of the best papers read at the re-
cent State Convention of Fruit-Grow-
ers in this city was that of James E.
Gordon of Santa Clara County, his
subject being "Prune-Growing, From
a Commercial Standpoint" Mr. Cor
don said:
In responding to the kind request of
your honorable body to furnish Sec
ond paper on the above subject, 1 do
so with some reluctance, because, ow-
ing to the realization of some of my
predictions l have of late been "a

like waiting for something to turn up''
that may restore to the business some
Of its pristine glory.
When L first addressed your body on
this subject at your 1892 convention in
San Jose / did not realize how wide
spread the effect of those views, backed
by your Endorsement, would be: but
when / found the address copied ever

tornia and Eastern newspapers and
magazines, kindly commented on by
all, l felt as though my labor had not
been in vain. And later on, when told
by prominent nurSerymen North and
South that it was affecting their sales
OF prune trees to the extent of hun
dreds of thousands which might other
wise have been planted, it was graft

conditions of to-day. The advice then
given for all to keep out of the bust

say qualifications to insure success
holds good to-day, and 1 am rejoiced
at the assurance that many have taken

In spite of the adverse criticism of
landowners, the suggestion that $50

owners double. In other words, i'm
