The bicycle sundry business has
reached vast proportions. Every arti-
Gle needed by the wheelmen, and some
that he'll never need, is the subject of
fierce competition. The competition
not only covers the manufactures, but
extends to the retail dealer as we'll. BIZ
cycle sundries can be found in all sorts
of unexpected places. Some of the
drygoods people make a speciality of
them, and there are many other con-
Germs that carry them as they would
any prime necessity. OF course all
this makes competition fast and furi-
Gus, at the regular bicycle stores. Here
is an Illustration of the way the thing
sometimes goes:
An eagle-eyed customer walked into
Euclid avenue wheel depot last Sat
urday evening and asked to look at
locks. He was shown lock and chain
and inquired the price. The proprie-
tor had sized him up and was deter
mined to make a SALE even if he sacri-
feed profits to do it,
Ten cents" he replied
smile of ineffable contempt came
over the customers classic features.
He held the lock to the light and
viewed it at every possible angle.
Then he handed it back to the pro-
prietor.
faint worth more'n a nickel" he
remarked.
The proprietor looked at him in sor-
row.
If l had known with whom I was
dealing" he plaintively remarked, Il
wouldn't have put up the price on you
Here, take it as a gift
And the customer, with a gratified
smirk creeping around the corners of
his finely chselled mouth, pocketed the
lock and went out into the night

right within Hawaiian jurisdiction, a
safe harbor and an ample storage sta
ton in mid-Pacific, and without which
our naval force is crippled, and in any
possible naval movements would be
Handicapped sadly. But if this consid-
Grafton is cast out, it remains that the
abrogation of the treaty would result in
binding the coast hand and foot to the
throne Of the sugar trust When the
time comes, if ever if it does, that home
beet sugar is equal in production and
quality to our full need, then readjust-
ment with Hawaii may be in order. But
the hope for that is fully a quarter of
a century distant as yet.
But if beet sugar is to do for us all
the vast good that is promised, we
must have better assurance of it than
any that can be given by managers of
the sugar trust, who have kept the su-
gar consumers comparative slaves at
their feet in the past. Bondsmen do
not, as rule, turn TO their enslavers
for relief from the chafe of chains that
wear away the life.
1t has been shown with sufficient en-
phasis and positiveness that the prof
its to the kings of beet-sugar industry
are SO enormous as to almost exceed the
bounds of belief and in this fact, upon
which the Record Union" has hereto
fore dwelt, may be found the solution
of the mystery involving the change
of front of sugar magnates, once the
warmest advocates of reciprocity, but
now, while engaged in transferring their
capital to beet-sugar production on
this coast, they actively and violently
seek the abrogation of the treaty.
Hawaiian sugar coming in free has
never yet entered into competition with
home beet sugar. Let no one be de-
ceived therefore by the false cry of
unhealthy competition. 1t is not that
which the sugar trust fears, but the pos
sible shearing down of it's dazzling
profits in the new industry.

The Los Angeles Herald asks, with
manifest anxiety, what is the matter
with the hens? Here we have, it adds,
exported 100000 worth of oranges
this season from Southern California,
and California in a single year pur-
chases from the East 100000 worth
Of eggs. There is nothing the matter
with the hens, neighbor, but there is
a great deal the matter with the men
and women who ought to own hens.
There is no better poultry land on earth
than California, and there is not a IA
vored spot on the globe which, condi-
tons compared, raises so little poultry.
Laziness, indifference, too high-keyed
ideas about farming, and the gross mis-
take that chickens are more liable to
disease in California than at the East,
are the reasons why we cart over 49,
100000 a year out of the State for the
purchase of food that we ought to
raise here to the last cents worth
needed.

THE FREE MARKET.

There is a sentimental reason Why the
the San Francisco water front, as the
law directs, and speedily; namely-it
will be a means leading on this people
to unity. Californians experience the
greatest difficulty in acting by concert.
We frequently agree to move together
for common purpose, but long before
we get a load in motion half the teams
are be found struggling and pulling
against the other half, and it is not
infrequent to find even these divisions,
subdivided by jealousy and because of
lack of adhesion to common purpose,
and concurrence concerning means ac-
complishing nothing. The establish
ment of the free market will be a step
towards unification of interests It will
tend to teach US the necessity for unity
of action and to that extent will do us
infinite good
Mr.. w. H. Mills in his admirable pa
per before the Farmers Club at San
Francisco on the free market said that
the greatest obstacle to the progress of
California has been, and is to-day, the
lack of capacity on the part of it's peo-
pie to act together. That is true, and
yet it should be modified. We have
the capacity to act together, the more
shame to us that we do not improve
upon and exercise it. There is capac-
ity to conserve self-interest among the
people of California, but it is held in
leash, cribbed and curbed by mean i'm
puning of motive by narrow views of
State interest, by false estimates of
community concern, and by a jealous
and contemplate spirit of envy, and a
brutal disposition to rise upon each
others shoulders. But Mr. Mills is
strictly correct when he speaks of this
capacity being enfeebled, and because
of that enfeeblement, testifying to
our want of the most potent force in
civilization, namely, unity of purpose
and community of action
