SAYS the Rank and File Must Raise the
Ioney--An Inner Wheel.
The Democratic leader then went on
to say that the Democratic party did
not have the advantage in 1896 of such
an organization in the beginning of the
campaign as ii had now. The rank
and file of the party has been lighting
ever since the polls closed, and in de-
feat has been more hopeful of success
in 1900 ever since the last election day
than the Republican party in victory.
Funds necessary for Democratic cam
paign purposes must come from the
people. who control the party. Not
one Republican in one hundred con
tributes to its campaign fund, and not
one Republican in one hundred has
anything 10 say about the policy of the
party after the campaign is over. The
corporations that contribute the funds
control the party.

state authorities to force Indiana into
legal opposition to the Chicago drain
age canal. Indiana has been solicited
tO join Il movement, with Michigan
and Wisconsin, against the opening of
the cana! Oh the grounds that it would
damage her harborS. Tie movement
has been taking form for some time

claimed that the opening of the drain
age canal will lower the level OF the
lake sufficiently to damage the inter
CStS of the three states.
The lowering of the water only Il
few inches. it is claimed. will practical
ly ruin some OF the harborS along the

OPENINGS IN PARAGUAY
Some Opportunities offered for the
Investment Of Capital.
Consul Rufin's Visits TO Various
Cities and the observations He
Made - An American Orange
Grower at villa Del PiIar-GOOd
Prices for Vegetables and Fruit.

The cities OF Paraguay are the subject Of
a special report to the State Department
from the United States Consul at Asun-
cion, John n Rufin. Mr. Rufin, during
the summer, visited a large number of
cities and closely observed their CONNER
cial Importance. the customs of the people,
and the chances offered for American trade
in that section of South America. He
seems to have been particularly impressed
with Villa Del Pillar. OF the city he says:
This city has most promising future.
Including its suburbs it has q population
of 10000 The region exports oranges,
vegetables, skins, and woods. There are
only about 10000 head of horned cattle
here. 1t is about 1O4 miles from Asuncion.
The city has a municipal board, military
commander, justice of the peace custom
house, port captain, national college, many
public and private schools, subdepartment
of the Agricultural Bank, and telegraph
and postoftces. Streets are nicely laid out.
Orange trees grow throughout the city.
villa del Pillar offers conditions as to
free grants of land for building of houses
similar to those offered by Conception.
The house must be built within a year
from the grant. Building is very cheap
here. A house conforming TO the require
ments of the law, made of brick, would cost
from 5000 to $500 gold.
AN American. Albert Jones, has en-
tered the orange and vegetable business,
and is doing exceedingly well He Will be
glad to answer any letters that may be
addressed him at Villa del Pillar Much
of the following information was gathered
from him.
"Villa del Pillar is one of the largest
orange exporting towns in the Republic
and has a fine harbor on the River Para
quay. Oranges last year brought from S35
TO 500 in Paraguayan money (equaling
about S. to SIS gold per cart load. There
are i'm a cart about 5000 oranges; each or
ange tree produces from 5000 to 10000
oranges and with 1000 trees good profit
can be realized. The lowest price was due
to the glut of the Buenos Ayres market
The freight is about $3.50 ton to Buenos
Ayres. and $3.50 a ton from Buenos Ayres
to Liverpool
Mr. Jones informed me that he shipped
load OF Paraguayan oranges to the Lon
don markets; that they arrived in good
condition after having been in transit
forty five days, owing to his having lost
steamer connection in Buenos Ayres tthe
usual time being from twenty-siX to thirty
daysl and that they brought a good price
Mandarins grow we'll. They can be planted
six yards apart; oranges must be ten yards
apart.
The orange trees here suffer no dam
age from the cold. man can start good
orange plantation with 81 500 gold, and in
eight years after planting the seeds, his in
come should be $4,000 or S., 900 gold a
year. During the first eight years he can
raise vegetables thus making a living till
the oranges are ready TO harvest. The
