Prince Eugene of Sweden, the youngest son

THE DAWN OF PROSPERITY.

In spite of the occasional sheer of popo-
cratic philosophers that the dawn of pros
perity is being strangely delayed, it can
not be denied that the trade situation Is
frightening and that business is bet
ter than in 1896. The exports OF
produce from the United States thus far
this year show en- increa se OF $144 OOO, GOO
ove- the same period in 1885, which is a
gain large enough to satisfy the most ex-
acting grumber.
II we look below the surface and study
the Custom-house exhibits we will see
that the balance of trade has been in
favor of the United States for year
taking this period as a whole. Under a
proper tariff we would not only enjoy the
profits arising from this large balance, but
those derived from a greatly slim ulated
internal commerce as we'll. This fact is
well understood by business men, hence
their anxiety for the passage of a suitable
tariff bill.
The local situation is pretty well fo-
cused down to two features-the tariff and
the crop outlook. Taken as a whole, the
latter is brilliant. True, the cereal out
look is somewhat dubious, owing 10 the
recent lack of rain, but the fruit outlook
is more than excellent. Up to last
Wednesday the fruit interests expected
low prices to rule during the coming sea-
son, but on Thursday the whole prospects
underwent a sudden change. Reports
that the fruit crops of the Eastern States
had been seriously damaged by late frosts
created an i'm mediate revulsion of opinion.
1t Will be remembered that six or seven
years ago the failure of the Eastern fruit
crops put millions of additional profits
into the pockets of California fruit-grow-
ers. Every thing that could be shipped
East was sent there and brought large re-
turns. twas s banner year for the fruit
men. The present year bids fair to be
similar, though prices will probably not
be as high as they were then. Values of
all commodities are on lower plane now,
and the purchasing power of the country
is not as large. Besides, the destruction
in the East is not as widespread. 1t is Sc
we're enough, however, to almost insure
good profits to growers of California fruit
this season.
For the past several days THE CALL has
been publishing series of exclusive fruit
crop reports, both from the East and Cali
fornia. They tell the story. They show
that the home crop will not be heavy and
the Eastern crop will be scanty, Good
prices will follow as natural result, and
millions of Eastern money will probably
flow into California pockets later on.
And as prices for wheat bid fair to keep
up to profitable plane it is safe to say
| that the California farmer will do better
| this year than for some years back.
| When the farmer prospers the rest OF
the community hourishes; hence If pres
| ent indications are realized we ought to
enjoy increased mercantile activity during
| the rest of the year.

PARK PLANS.

The rapidity with which the movement
for park extension in this City goes for
ward affords ample grounds 10 justify the
conclusion that it will shortly become one
of the dominant issues of municipal de-
velopment. The proposal for the estab-
lishment of park in the Mission has been
warmly supported by the entire press Of
the City, and now some of the influential
members Of the Board of Supervisors have
begun the consideration of vast ter scheme
OF the same kind, and have put it into
shape that will attract public considera-
ton and doubtless win considerable
decree of popular favor.
The plan as proposed by Chairman
Devany and other members OF the Street
Committee of the Board of Supervisors is
truly magn ificent one. 1t proposes the
establishment OF a series OF parks within
the City limits, one of which at least is to
be OF sufficient magnitude to rival Golden
Gate Park, and the others are to consti-
Iute no uncomfortable additions to the
general park plans. 1t is the desire of the
promoters to hasten the accomplishment
OF this extension as rapidly as possible, as
it is evident that the land required for the
proposed parks can be obtained now much
cheaper than at any future time.
An undertaking of such an ambitious
nature will be something of q surprise
to the people of San Francisco. 1t Is
only in Chicago of all the progressive
cities of America where such a chain
of parks connected by stately boule-
Yards has been realized. The park sys-
tenn of that city has been the admira-
ton and despair of her rivals in the East.
1t is the admiration of San Francisco
also, but from the movement now begun
it is evident that it may not be our de-
spair. There are men among US who be-
lieve that we cannot only rival it, but sur
pass it, and girdle San Francisco with
series of parks from the Preside on the
north round by the Golden Gate on the
ocean, across the mountainous, and SO
on, to the shores of the bay at the south
ern extremity OF the City.
The esta blishment of such a series OF
parks is possible, and if the subject is
kept we'll TO the front and the plans al
devised with ordinary wisdom. there is
prospect it may become probable. At any
rate an idea of this kind once put forward
will never be wholly lost sight of. AL
ways there will be more or less consldera-
ton given to the project, and in the grow
ing civic patriotism OF the people, the in
creasing municipal pride of citizens and
the fuller understanding of the import
ance of parks to the community, it is not
unlikely that time will come when this
am bilious scheme will be taken up practi-
caily and accom- plished to the satisfaction
of our most sanguine hopes.

A COMING OPPORTUNITY.

The merchants and manufacturers of the
larger cities in the East are making ar
rangements for the rece ption this sum mer
of number of men representing leading
lines of business in South America, Gen.
trail America and Mexico, who are to visit
this country for the purpose of studying
our products and seeing to what extent
they can carry on profitable trade with
u.s.
The visitors are to come to this country
on the invitation of the officials of the
Philadelphia Commercial Museum. 1t
will be remem bered that last year num-
Der of American manufacturers made
tour of investigation through South Amer
lean countries for trade purposes and the
return visit from the merchants of those
countries is all outcome of that tour. The
manufacturers saw that a good field was
open for them to the south and now they
have invited representative merchants
from the various countries to visit US in
order that they may SEQ what goods we can
furnish to supply their demands.
1t is announced that the visitors are ex-
pected to arrive next June, but we have
not seen any notice of the extent of the
tour which they will make nor any state
ment of what cities they will visit. 1t
would SEEM therefore, to be advisable for
some organization in this City, either the
State Board of Trade. the Chamber of
Commerce or the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers' Association, to communicate with
the officers of the Philadelphia CONNER
cial Museum and if possible make ar
rangements for bringing the visitors to
San Francisco.
II the time of the visitors permits it, it
would be good plan to arrange for them
a general tour of the cities of the Pacific
Coast from Puget Sound to San Diego.
There can be no question that much is
produced along this coast for which good
markets can be found in Mexico, Central
and South America and which the mer-
chants of those countries could find it
profitable to handle. All of those coun-
tries ought to consume a considerable
quantity of California wine, and large
number of articles of our manufacture
At any rate, the visit of such men to this
country for trade purposes is certainly an
industrial and commercial opportunity
for Us which we ought not to let pass with
out employing.
The press of the leading Eastern cities
is giving considerable space to the subject
and it is evident that each city will vie
with the other in giving entertainment to
the visitors. The total number expected
will hardly exceed fifty, but they are said
to be men who represent large interests
and are capable of influencing a vast
amount OF trade in their various countries.
California could easily afford to give an
entertainment to these men not inferior
to that provided for them in any other
State in the Union, and it is worth our
while to undertake it.

VBNEzUELA'S GREAT RAILWAY.

1t was a favorite and plausible argu-
ment of some Englishmen in regard to
British rights in settling the Venezuelan
boundary that to surrender any of the
territory claimed by the English was SIM
ply TO limit the bounds of civilization and
give to an unprogressive state opportuni-
ties which it would never properly utilize.
Uncle Sam, basing his authority on the
Monroe doctrine, overruled that argu-
ment, and recent report to the State
Department from our Consul, Plumacher,
giving an account OF the great railway
in Venezuela shows that country is pro.
crossing and has possibilities of future
greatness to an extent which gives a COM
plete refutation to the Britisher's logic,
The road is one of the finest pieces of
engineering skill in the world. 1t had
more obstacles to surmou than the far
famed Oroya Railroad of Peru and the
trans-Andine line between Chile and
Buenos Ayres. 1t connects the capital,
Caracas, with the thriving interior city of
Valencia, which is the metropolis of an
immense section of fertile land. The road
boldly strikes across a strip of country so
frowning with precipitous mountain brows
and threatening with deep and seemingly
impassa BILE gorges that nature appeared
to have placed her veto there to any pass
age that was not winged.
The successful undertaking Of this road

has opened up vast picturesque and fer
tile valleys for immigration, whose only
lack heretofore was the means OF COM
munication. The land, which is sparsely
peopled with 100000 is capable of sup.
porting in bountiful plenty population
of 10000, 600. It is said there are no ex-
tremes of heat and cold. and the region
abounds with breezy highlands and val
leys which are perfectly healthy. Sugar
cane, coffee, Indian corn and vegetables
OF all kinds flourish there. The Govern
ment realizes the need Of immigration.
Liberal concessions have been granted,
and laws especially framed for this pur-
pose have been passed.
Mr.. Plumacher adds that internal peace
seems now tolerably assured, and that
with the exception of few professional
revolutionists, who cannot comprehend
that the people are yearly becoming more
intelligent, scarcely any one thinks of
civil war as remedy for real or supposed
grievances. If this proves to be true the
future of Venezuela is assured, and we
may yet have III that country trade that
will be vastly beneficial to our own.
