CALIFORNIA RAIsINs IN THE EAST.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Journal Of Com

California raisins, to take effect at midnight
of the 10Th inst. has been expected, 1t has
been without material effect upon the Eastern
trade. The demand has not been stimulated to
any extent of late by the prospect of higher
prices and there has been no great effort TO
sell goods. In fact Eastern commission mer

The Seattle Times has been crying
''lie" against every statement OF fact
regarding the failure OF Legislation in
Olympia in 1897. 1t seeks to deceive
the people by inferring that the Re-
publicans We're able to prevent legis-
laticn in the senate. Referring to the
smothering of 10 out of 80 railroad
bills, Of legislation favoring labor. and
other measures killed In the senate,
the Times says:
1T was only when they reached the SEN
ate that there was any opposition to them
and this opposition, as already referred to,
came from Republican senator's, backed by
trusts and monopolies and the influences OF
the P.-I. The records OF the house and
senate will bear out this statement"
The people can easily judge Of the
truth Of this assertion. The senate
consists of "a members. A majority
vote only is required to pass bill.
Rule 20, on page is Of Joint Rules.
Rules Of Senate and Rules of House."
Of the session of 1897. legislature of
the state OF Washington. says:
Rule 90 Every bill shall receive three
readings previous TO its passage.
The third reading of every bill shall be by
sections and upon It's final passage the
vote must he taken by yeas and nays. the
names Of the senators voting for and
against the same be entered upon the jour
pal and THE MAJORITY OF THE MEM
BERS ELECTED TO THE SENATE must
be recorded thereon as voting In its favor
10 secure its passage by the senate"
Now as to who is responsible: The
Post-Intelligencer has said the fusion
lists had control of the house and SEN
ate. A majority of 81 is Is. Instead
of IS, however, the fusionists had 81.

Fusionsts Reduced state Debt with
Delinquent Taxes.

Speech h. Johr I Sharps.ein. of walla
Waiia.
Our Populist friends are circulating far
ard vide their alleged economy in the
management Of both county ana state
finances. They distribute a circular state
menf. issued by the state auditor Neal
Chcetham. addressed TO the citizens OF
Washington, and a financial statement is
sued by the auditor Of this county. Now,
l have no fault 10 find with these state
ments. except thar they do not tell the
Whole truth as TO some things, and other
facts are 50 stated as TO be horelesslv
misleading. The circular OF the auditor
states that under The Popuisst adn.nissra-
ton the state debt has been reduced ssda.-
lsS. and the county auditors statement
shows a decrease in county expenses for
the year ending June So 1895. from the
year ending June 30, 1876. of sis.soc.
''But they forgot to tell that while
the state debt has heen thus re-
d1eed the sum of S55O.OOO. the pres
ent naturalization has collected
463S, 900 Of delinquent taxes left
after the years 1893. 1894 and 1898.
In other words, the state debt would
now be At least $S0,O0O greater than
when the Populist party came into
power, were IL not for the collec-
which should have been paid In to
reduce the debt under the Republi-
can administration.
Nov / ask you in all fairness. how did
1t happen that all Of these taxes. both
county ard state. became delinquent. and
how does it happen that they were after
wards paid? / viii tell you. They became
delinquent under a Democratic national
administration, when, by reason of the
agitation of the iegI-tender, free-silver.
fiat-money doctrine. all business became
stagnated, times were hard. money could
not be borrowed, and the people of 4he
land could not pay their taxes. Then
came political change in the national
administration Times Immediately be-
came better. confidence was restored, and
the people of the state and county were
able to pay not only their present tax, but
their past taxes, which should have been
paid to the Republican state adm.nistra-
ton
''let some people seem surprised
that some Of MS have reached n con-
clusfOn that the interests OF this
country prosper better under the
