between three and four dollars, and
perhaps less.
The tobacco growers of Florida
would do we'll to bear this fact in
mind in the early days of the indus
try. The value of enough tobacco to
make one thousand cigars, placing it
at the very satisfactory price of forty
cents per pound, will only be about
eight or ten dollars. If this is made
into cigars, of even a cheap grade,
it will sell for not less than thirty
dollars. Of course the expense of
manufacture must be considered, but
there is a very wide margin between
eight dollars and thirty dollars, and
we think our tobacco growers would
be wise to avail themselves of it.

staple, is most especially favored, as
the import duty on this fruit is in
creased about three hundred per cent.
In years gone by we raised oranges at
a profit when there was a tariff of
less than twenty cents per box, and at
no time has the duty exceeded TWEEN
ty-five cents per box. In those days
we were new at the business, we were
blowing new land, exploring new
region, as it were, and notwithstand-
ing the heavy charges to the educa-
tional fund and the many mistakes
that were of course made, we man
aged to make orange growing pay
Now when we have an increased duty
largely increased-and volumes of
experience, we should certainly do
wonders in the orange business.
The pineapple was not forgotten.
This is certainly an infant industry,
and was worthy of all the favors given
it. The infant, however, is growing
rapidly, and with the encouragement
given by the new law should soon
outgrow it's swadling clothes.

Tariff Encouragement.

The new tariff law deals rather
kindly with Florida and her prod
ucts, and even the most rabid pro-
tectionist or the rankest kind of
free trader, we think has no cause to
complain; they should all be satisfied.
The free trader may not believe in
protection and may believe in free
trade, but at the same time he would
be avery dull fellow if he did not take
the goods the gods gave, in other
words take advantage of what the
new tariff law offers. The tariff
should have no place in politics. It
should be considered from a plain
every day view, and then perhaps our
people would more readily avail
themselves of the legislative encour-
agement offered by tariff bills.
The people of Louisiana, for in
stance, we opine, will not be slow to
catch on. Already we hear of prepa-
rations for large increase in the
sugar cane acreage, and the placing
of orders for thousands of dollars
worth of machinery. We see no rea-

Farming and Manufacturing.

e
1t is generally admitted that the
farmers are the hardest working and
most deserving class of people in the
country, and it is a fact beyond ques-
tion that they have fewer of the lux
uries of life than almost any other
class of people. To appreciate the diff
ference between the farmer and man
ufacturer, for instance, it is only
necessary to go from the farming to
the manufacturing centers. If still
greater contrast is wanted then a
journey should be made from the
farming sections to the commercial
centers. There the difference is most
marked We do not contend that the
sol tiller is deprived of the comforts
and necessities of life, for such is not
the case. Taking it all in all he is
perhaps as happy and as contented
as any other class, but contentment
is a matter of habit and breeding
he is contented with his lot because
he knows no other; he has lived in
the even tenor of his way all his life,
as his forefathers before him, and as
evrything in life must go by compar-
ison he knows of no other condition
with which to make comparison.
But after all he does not get his
share. He produces the raw material
and disposes of it to the consumer Or
manufacturer, or rather to the mid
dlemen. The manufacturer works up
| the raw material into the finished
article and disposes of it at a profit
the very mention of which would
make the farmer wild.
The solution of the matter, if there
is ever to be a solution rests with the
farmers themselves. We do not mean
that they should organize trusts and
alliances and hold their produce until
they get their price such a scheme
is totally impractical. They must,
oFo 1ctI do POoo1OlC EIoOC O1IOI1 PAOouNN
on the market in the finished form.
One of the richest agricultural Sec
tons on earth is said to be a county
in Pennsylvania where the farmers
grow tobacco, manufacture it into
cigars or stogies and sell direct to the
jobbers. In this way they realize
from eight to ten dollars per thou
sand for the stogies, while if, the to-
bacco had been sold in it's raw state
they would have counted themselves
lucky if they had realized ten cents
per pound. In other words they get
in the neighborhood of ten dollars
for the product that, had it been sold
in raw state, would have yielded

The Corn Fair.

West Florida and especially Pensa-
cola is in ''high feather over the corn
fair of last week, held in Pensacola.
That the fair was a success seems
beyond question-in fact the success
of the fair exceeded the fondest ex-
pectation of the promoters. There
were three hundred and forty-five
individual exhibits of corn and large
collections of other agric ~ltural prod
ucts for which no premiums were Of
fered. A crowd of over seven thou
sand visitors were attracted by the
fair, many of them coming from the
adjoining states of Alabama and
Georgia.
The Corn Fair was one of the
schemes of the enterprising and pub
lie spirited Col. Chipley, the Land
Commissioner of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad, and his idea was
to promote an increased interest in
the culture of the great cereal in
West Florida. AS a further stimulant
he procured a supply of the Silver
Mine corn of Iowa, which was dis
tributed free to all applicants for
seed.
Florida is not placed in the list of
the great corn producing states, al
though the annual harvest is in the
neighborhood of 100000 bushels,
and the idea of corn fair WIS sneered
at by many. The result of the free
distribution of seed, the offering of
prizes and the rivalry among plant
ers had the effect of largely increas-
ing the acreage of corn planted in
West Florida, and, Notwithstanding
the unprecedented drouth, the yield
will be greatly augmented.
The prizes offered were not large,
but they stimulated the farmers to
greater efforts. More care was taken
with the crop. The culture was more
thorough, and the exhibits, which
are pronounced magnificent, proves
that the corn fair has accomplished
many good results.
The judges appointed to make the
awards were selected from the differ
ent counties having exhibits, and
these awards are as follows:
For the best twenty stalks First,
J. S. Dennis, Atmore, Ala; second,
D. NJ Carter, McDavids, Fla; third,
j. S. Stewart, Walnut Hill; fourth,
John Hobbs, Milton; fifth, J. @. Bar

First, J. B. Stewart, Walnut Hill;
second, John C.. Vickery, Marianna;
third, J. w. Carter, Campbellton;
fourth, J. A. Pell, Greenwood; fifth,

benefit of this legislation. Florida
has made no development along the
line of sugar growing for several
years, and the adverse tariff legisla-
ton of the last administration was
given as the reason. AS this reason
will not hold good now we expect
great things of the state in the sugar
line during the next few years.
AS far as soil and climate is con-
cerned we have everything that is
needed; the vast territory embra ced
in the valley of the Kissimmee, and
the land on the lower East Coast
that is not suited to the culture of
citrus fruits could be planted in cane,
and under the now existing condi-
tions the results, as far as profits are
concerned, we should think would be
all that could be desired.
One great difficulty about sugar
growing is that it requires consider
able capital. True, a farmer can
grow cane, and it will require no
great outlay of capital for him to
grow and harvest his crop, still ex-
perience has shown that only the best
results can be obtained when the cul-
ture is conducted on a large scale.
When it comes to the manufacturing
process this is especially true. In
these days of improved machinery
and scientific methods a man cannot
compete with the large plantations
and modern manufacturing plants
with his crude homemade nipple
ments-in other words he cannot
it. AS it is admitted that in order to
develope our sugar industry we must
have capital, it is essential that we
use every effort to induce capital to
come to the state and erect the mills
and refneries- we can procure
these the farmers can do the bal
ance-they can grow the cane. AS
the new tariff law makes it special
inducement for the production of the
finer grades of sugar, we think that
capitalist will not be slow to see the
to be derived from the es-
Enlistment of central sugar factories
in Florida in the centers of the re-
gions suited to cane growing. These
central factories are in fact consid-
cred the most desirable for the manu-.
facture of sugar, as no individual
grower of cane has at his command
sufficient capital to erect the neces
sary plant and employ the high pric
ed experts necessary. By the estab
lishment of these central factories
the grower would be relieved of the
care of manufacturing. He would
produce the cane and sell it to the
manufacturer in it's raw state at sc
much per ton.
There is no reason why Florida
should not produce as much sugar as
Louisiana; the only thing is to get
the people once started to raising
cane, and factories established fol
manufacturing it into sugar. If we
can secure the latter we think there
is no question about the ''grist'' tc
keep them grinding
