COMPARE THE RECORD.

The farmer of California must
receive the assistance of the Gov
ernment if he is to prosper. What
has been the record Of the two
great political parties regarding
this question? The Republican
party has ever striven to foster
and encourage the horticultural
interests of California by means Of
favorable tariff legislation; the
Democratic party has always en-
deavored to break down and sweep
away this protection. The Nc
Kinley tariff placed a rate of 2
cents a pound on prunes and plums
in order to protect the California
product against the ruinous COM
petition Of Soutfe ern Europe. The
Wilson tariff reduced this to an
ad valorem duty equivalent to less
than l cent a pound. The Dingley
tariff has restored the duty of 2
cents. On fgs the Mckinley rate
was 212 cents, the Wilson rate
equivalent to about l cent, and the
Dingley rate z cents. On raisins
the Mckinley rate was 21a cents,
the Wilson rate / y cents, and the
Ding1ey rate 21a cents. On oranges
the Mckinley rate was 10 cents
cubic foot, the Wilson rate 8
cents, and the Dingley rate about
IL cents. On almonds the Nc
kinley rate was 5 cents, the Will
SON rate cents, and the Dingley
rate A cents. On wa1nuts the Nc
Kinley and Dingley rates are 3
cents and the Wilson rate 2 cents.
