FRUIT TARIFF.
| At this point Seawell of Mendocino
| took the floor to explain his position in
| regard to the resolution recommend
| ing a tariff schedule for the protection
| of California fruit, which had been
adopted during Tuesdays session, and
| against which he had cast his vote.
| While not a protectionist, he said he
was not a free trader. He believed in
| fostering not only ONE, but every in
terest in the State, and should a resolu-
| ton insuring as much be offered he
would be for 1t.
SeaweI said he had asked that action
on the resolution be deferred so that
it's provisions might be thoroughly un-
derstoOd With him there was no polit-
ical feeling in the matter The Republ-
cans, in his opinion, had missed it by
recommending that a tariff be imposed
on fruit, while nothing was said aobut
duty on coal, wool and hops. If pro-
lection was to be the central idea of
istration, then every interest of the
State should be protected, and not the
fruit industry alone That was the
reason himself and his colleagues had
voted no. There was no partisanship
in the matter. If good was to be de-
rived from protection to California in
dustries, such good should not be con-
fined to any particular industry.
GLAD HAND EXTENDED.
Senator Simpson of Pasadena said the
millennium had truly arrived. For
thirty years he had preached protective
principles to his Democratic friends,
and for thirty years his eXhortations
had been spurned. He felt unutterably
glad to see them lining on the question
of protection to California products,
and should be more than happy in the
future to travel along in harmony with
Them working for the protection of the
industries of both State and Nation.
Concerning a resolution relating to
the protection of wool, coal, nuts, etc,
Simpson said the Democrats need have
no fear. Those articles had already
been amply provided for, but had this
not been the case the Republicans
would have joyously extended the hand
of fellowship to the Democrats who
were now getting into the fold. But
above all he was happy to know that
the Democratic members stood to aid
the resolution adopted at Tuesdays
session.
Doty of Sacramento stated that in his
experience as a legislator newspapers
had never controlled his vote upon any
proposition. He did not wish it UNDER
stood that he had deserted the Demo-
cratic and gone over to the Republican
