sistence and prosperity. The farmer
is the co-partner of the elements. His
intelligently directed efforts are in
unison with the light and heat of the
sun, and the success of his labOrs rep
resents the commingling of the rain
drops and his own sweat.
'LegislatiOn can neither pillow nor
plant. The intelligent, practical and
successful farmer needs no aid from
the government. The ignorant, i'm
practical and indolent farmer de-
serves none. 1t is not the business Of
government to legislate in behalf of
any class of citizens because they are
engaged in any specific calling, no
matter how essential the calling may
be to the needs and comforts of civil
natural laws nor restrict or efface the
operation of economic laws. 1t is a
beneficial arrangement of the order
of things and the conditions of hui
man life that legislators are not per-
mitted to repeal amend, or revise the
laws of production and distribution. :"
What Mr. Morton says of Legislative
aid is no more true as applied to the
farming class than to the manufac-
turing class, yet it is a generally ad-
mitted fact that the manufacturer is
fostered and protected while the agri-
culturist is practically ignored.
The American farmer is an indie
pendent kind of fellow, and asks no
special favors. If, however, there are
legislative plums to be distributed, he
with the manufacturer and other IA
vored classes. If protection to Amer
lean industries is the policy of an ad-
ministration or a congress, the soil
tilling industry should certainly not
be overlooked. On the other hand,
even if a congress Or an administra-
ton repudiates the protection princi-
pie, which was the case with the adj
ministration with which Mr.. Morton
was connected, and it is necessary to
incidentally protect American indus
tries by heavy tariff, the farmer is
certainly as worthy Of this incidental
protection as the manufacturer.
Mr.. Morton gets almost poetical in
his reference to the commingling
raindrops of heaven and the farmers
sweat, but this sweating business is
no joke with the aforesaid farmer
it is a stern and unpleasant reality.
The farmer, however, will make no
complaint if he is treated with justice
and impartiality. Give him the same
protection that is given to others, no
more, no less, and he will be content
ed to continue uncomplainingly the
irrigating process so touchingly re-
ferred to by Mr.. Morton.

which constitutes the main odorous
ingredients of cologne waters and
cliNirs, worth $3.50 to $500 per
pound; and the essential oils, from
the blossoms, leaves and unripe fruit,
known as Neroli petale, Neroli bigar-
ade and essence de petit grain-high
odors used by the perfumers, gener-
ally worth from S. to So an ounce.
The second oil mentioned could be
manufactured at small expense, the
flowers costing not more than 1914
cents pound, out of the numerous
wild groves of sour oranges existing
in the greater part of the tropical
belt of Mexico.
1t was not until the main lines of
the Mexican railroad system tapped
the border of the United States that
Mexico began to export her oranges
to this country, says Mr.. Crittenden.
A few hundred boxes had been
shipped from Sonora soon after the
Sonora railroad was opened in 1888,
as an experiment, which proved
success. Most of the oranges con-
sumed in Southern Arizona come
from Sonora. In 1895, owing to the
frost in Florida, some orange buyers
went down to Mexico from the United
cry at their packing houses at prices
ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 (MeXican
currency per thousand. Last year
the prices at HermOsillo ranged from
SIS to $40 per thousand, while in
other states they ranged from S. to
SIS. The shipments for 1895 amount
ed to 400 carloads, which proved so
profitable that dealers looked to Mex
leo for a larger supply American
dealers went down to Mexico taking
their experts along in order to super
intend asserting and packing. The
railroads co-operated by furnishing
ventilated cars, and the result of this
activity was that the shipments of
last season to the United States were,
as above stated, over 700 carloads.
According to the consul-general the
prices obtained in Chicago, Kansas
City, St. Louis and Cincinnati for
Mexican oranges are from $3.50 to
$3.50 (goldD per box, averaging from
ITO to 200 oranges each. Shipments
begin about September 1 and end De-
cember Is. 1t ordinarily takes twelve
days, moderately fast freight, to send
cars from shipping points to Chicago
or Cincinnati; however, some cars
have reached these points in eight
DAYS.

ITS HAPPY INFLUENCE.

Blessed Christmas 1t makes
our hearts tender. 1t helps us,
for the time being at least, to
throwaway selfshness. 1t helps
Us to be liberal, more open
hearted. We feel kindlier to-
ward every one, and thousands
of cold and selfish hearts seem
10 thaW out under the influence
of the Christmas season, as the
snow On the mountain side
melt under the genial rays OF
the sun. The beauty and fra
GRANGE of hearts come out under
its spell, as the violets and ane-
mones bloom into beauty at the
call Of spling.
On that day, as we give quits
to friends, let us not forget the
God who gave us all, and the
Christ who died to save us
Let it be a real Christmas to our
souls, a day of rejoicing On earth
and a day of gladness in Heaven,
because the Christ of God has
come into our hearts. Cnltea

DURING THE WAR.
Christmas at the South When
Prices Were High.

The Christmas of 1861 at the
South was not SO much different
from those that preceded, but
the Christmas of 1862 found the
Confederate money at heavy
discount. Wood was $45 per
cord and turkeys SII each, but
even at those prices many were
still able to enjoy them, and
there were i'll some toys to
give the little folks. Then came
the bitter year of 1868, with the
fall of Vicksburg and the defeat
at Gettsburg. With sad faces,
harmonizing we'll with their
dresses Of coarse black stuff, the
women of the south devoted
themselves to picking lint and

bands, fathers, brothers and

Shoe Polish Will Restore Their
Pristine Freshness.

There would be no doubt OF
the economy of buying one ex-
cellent pair of black gloves for
winter use, if it were not for the
fact that the finger tips become
white or gray after com parative

feel that they were just as good
an investment as two pairs of
inferior made at half the money.
The trouble is that the dye of
the black gloves does not pene>
trate the skin, and when worn
off the darkness of the color
makes the white below more
apparent by contrast. The only
cure therefor lies in renewal of
the dyed surface.
If you will daub ink or liquid
shoe dressing on the bare spot
you will restore the color, but
you will not restore the glossy,
fresh look of the departed new,

How to Prevent PneumO-
MIA.

At this time of the year cold
is very easily contracted, and if
let 70 run its course without the
aid of some reliable cough medi-
cine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to
cure a corgh or cold than Cham>
berlain's Cough Remedy. We
have used it quite extensively
and it has always given entire
satisfaction.-Oolagah, Ind. Ter.
Chief.
This is the only remedy that
is known to be a certain pre-
ventive of pneumonia. Among
the many thousands who have
used it for colds and la grippe
we have never yet learned of a
single case having resulted in
peumonia Persons WHO have
weak lungs or have reason to
fear an attack of pneumonia,
should keep the remedy at hand.

AN UNDESIRABLEIND

Mr.. Charles Hallock writes 4
timely word of caution to the
people of eastern North Carolina
respecting the conservation OF
their deer supply. He sends
this letter to the New Berne
Journal
| notice in Your paper of rev
cent datc statement to tn eff
feet that "the continued ships
inent OF bear meat and veniSon
to northern markets is assuming
the aspect OF all industry" and
that carcasses are expressed all
most daily over the \. & NC.
Z. R, bound northward.
This new movement, | may
say, is easily accounted for by
the fact that Maine, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, from
which market veuison has hith-
erto been principally drawn,
have forbidden the shipment of
deer meat beyond tie state linn
It's, and that the game wardens
are strenuously enforcing the
law, under the stimulous of big
pay and large rewards. Market
hunters have therefore changed
their guests to eastern North
Carolina, which they find even
easier of access than their old
stamping grounds, and although
the deer are not more than half
the size of their northern kin
dred, they are at present easier
to capture and ship. and upon
the whole more remunerative.
Now, although l have sought, |
conscientiously, for seven years
past, to attract Legitimate sports
men to your section, and am
even now pressing the purchase
of Bogue banks upon a select
club as game preserve of un>
eqnalled attractions, yet / confess
that am sorry to see that the
reinorseless market hunter has
found his way thither, for he
will soon make a barren and a
desolation of every present haunt
of game. The only possible
chance to save the deer now,
and all lesser game afterward, is
to interdict his efforts, and no
county law or legislature enact>
ment will stop them so promptly
and completely as strict en-
forcement Of the common tres
pass law. Let every owner of
marsh and forest lands post them
forthwith, permitting shooting
at discretion (and better far for
a fee than for no compensation.
and bravely prosecute offenders
at sight, relying upon the con-
servatlsm, providence, and self
interest of the community to
back him.
l pray that you may see fit to
indorse this proposition edito-
rally, and that every journal in
interest may copy it. By-and-
by it will be too late.
I have lived in your section,
and call myself one of your peo-
pie, and | have made life study |
of game and forest problems.
Hence | feel sure of my posi-
ton when | declare that unless
this wholesale slaughter Of deer
is stopped in your section, right
away, there will be no deer left
for sport two years hence. Mark
those words!
