Mr.. Lindsay of Kentucky then took the
floor in support of his amendment TO
strike out the differential on refined sugar
and place all sugars on an equality. While
he realized that it was hopeless to try to
reduce the duty on sugar. Mr.. Lindsay
said ne was not without hope that the
Senate would withdraw this proposed pro-
lection to the trust which dominated the
market and attempted to control the poll
tics of the country The trust did not

schedule would, he said, tax the people

Mr.. Lindsay argued that the trust had
concealed advantages in every schedule,
which Its opponents could not point out.
Every doubt, he declared should be re-
solved against the trust. He read the tes-
timone of President Havemeyer in which
ne stated that the trust controlled the
price of sugar.

ORLANDO'S FRUIT CROP.
Peach Growing Receiving More At
tentiOn Than Ever.

Orlando, Fla. June 12.-Grapes and
peaches are now plentiful in the Orlando
market. The grape crop will be larger
than last years crop, and the fruit is
larger and finer. Packing and shipping
will commence in earnest next week.
Since the injury to the orange industry
two years ago peach-growing has received
far more attention in this section than
ever before. 1t is not many years ago
that homegrown peaches were never Of
fered in this market. But the introduce
ton of varieties adapted to the prevail
ing conditions has given an impetus to
the business and since incomes from or
anges have been cut off, the
farmers are turning their attention
to such fruits az promise fair but
prompt returns. In peaches II seems they
are In q fair way to realize their hopes.
AZ an evidence OF the growing favor IN
which this fruit Is held the statistical bu-
reau OF the agricultural department at
Tallahassee reveals the fact that peach
production in this county has Increased COO

turns than our people ever got from their
orange groves. In the years 70 come IN
place OF a forty-acre orange grove and
nothing else, our farmers will have
grove OF one-quarter that area, and a
peach orchard OF equal extent, and one
two or three acres each In stra wberrles
and plncapples. When this condition Of
things shall come the farmers will be-
obliged to work more days IN the year
than was necessary under the orange re-
gime. but they Will have greater and more
reliable incomes. and danger OF failure
