Coffee was taxed along with pretty
nearly everything else during the civil
war. but the tariff was abolished in 1872
after a campaign had been conducted
against it in behalf of the poor mans

vived the duty on coffee, three cents a
pound being the sum fixed, the duty
running against countries with which
reciprocity agreements could not be ne
gotiated- DuEing the time the tariff en-
coffee was ia effect the revenues were
increased by from five to twelve mill
lion dollars annually, but it was never
popular with the people who paid it.
While it is imperative that the rev.

doubtful if a tariff measure containing
a tax on coffee could get through the
house. the Republicans having in mind

WHEAT swINoLE.

The agricultural department appears
10 have knocked on the head a scheme
whereby some enterprising people of
JuIiette. Idaho. had much money in
sight. 1t was claimed that new kind
of wheat would yield anywhere from
100 TO 200 bushels to the acre, and much
advertising matter was scattered broad
cast throughout the country boosting
the game. The attention of Secretary
Wilson was called to the matter, and
wheat specialist was sent out to Idaho
to investigate. The specialist found
that about 700 acres had been sown in
Alaska" wheat, and that the yield av-
eraged in the neighborhood of % BUSH
els to the acre. which was very much
short of the 100 to geo bushels promised.
A test was made of the wheat for
bread-making purposes. and the pro-
duct was of the most inferior Kind. II
was so poor, in fact, that it was nos
promoters had a good thing in the
wheat, for their 700 acres had produced
II. 500 bushels of gsain,and they proposed
paTceling IT out in ofle-bushel lots for
seeding purposes at $50 per bushel, and
many contracts had been entered into
Then the department of agriculture ex-
pert, Mr.. Jardine, happened along, and
visions of $3.50, 600 for the 1880 bushels
of wheat went glimmering, all because
the schemers began their advertising a
couple of weeks too early. In his re-
port MIR Jardine says:
mo sooner had they advertised this
wheat as returning yield of 100 BUSH
els or more to the acre, than the depart
ment began TO receive inquiries. We
knew there was some sort of fraud con-
neeted with the scheme, and our pre-
Iiminary investigation showed that We
were right: that the so-called Alaska
wheat was nothing more than the old
Mummy wheat, or 'seven-head' wheat
that had been exploited throughout the
country some time since. We knew all |
about that wheat, and lost no time in /
sending out word to the farmers that |
the Alaska wheat was q fraud, pure /
and simple. and advised prospective |
to put no money into the
scheme. SO rapidly did our warning l
spread that most communities were 4
reached. When I arrived at Juliette to
make my investigation / discovered |
that the promoters of the Alaska wheat |
swin,ile had en- file orders for every /
bushei of wheat they had grown, but I
also learned that kilograms were COM /
ing in by the score caneeliing previous /
orders. How much wheat they actually /
sold at $40 per bushel I do not know.
but 1 have reason TO believe that their /
sales were comparatively light And /
yet. had It not been for the warning /
given. every bushel of Alaska wheat |
grown would have been sold at that l
price, and every man who /
bought 1t would have awakened to learn
hat he had been svindled."

The Palm Beach News says that
G. w. Idner & Son had on exhibition
in their store a unique and curious
variety of fruit which attracted the
attention of all who saw it. 1t was
shaped something like cucumber
and tasted like a cross between ba-
mana and a pineapple. Itgrows on a
vine Of the climbing aeroid variety
and the plant is a native of South
America. While the leaves of the
plant are cellular and probably assist
in its subsistence yet it also in its
growth up a tree throws out numer-
Gus roots or tendrils which envelope
the tree and will possibly cause its
death.
The scientific name of the fruit is
Monsteria Deliciosa, commonly called
Ceremon. The fruit grows from
twelve to fifteen inches in length and
is covered with green rind. The
specimen on exhibition came from
the place of Mr.. Beach, but Mr.. Idner
states that he has plant of this va
riety growing at his home.

Hard Roads Coming

An election has been called by the
county commissioners of Clay coun-
ty for February 10Th, to decide
a SIS, 900 bond issue for good roads
purposes. Duval county has less than
four miles of road to build to the
Clay county line and the contract has
been let to build it and as Putnam
will no doubt build to the Clay county
line from the south if Clay will meet
them, it looks as though we would
soon have hard road from Jackson
vile to Palatka. Putnam will no
doubt build hard road from the Pa
latka bridge across to Hastings and if
st. Johns county ever comes out of
their Rip Van Winkle sleep they will
continue the road to St. Augustine.
Palatka is after the Hastings trade
and if St. Augustine don't mind out
they will get it.-San Mateo Item.

STATE SUPT. HOLLOWAY
Thinks the Counties Will Look
After Educational Interests

Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion, Hon. w. M. Holloway, express
ed himself to the Tallahassee True
Democrat as having entire confidence
in the willingness and ability of the
counties Of Florida to support their
schools during the standard term of
eight months. He also thinks that
the present unsettled condition of the
states educational affairs will be of
short duration, since the coming leg
islature will, beyond all doubt, make
some provision for permanent state
aid, the legality of which this time
will be unchallenged.
Last year, seeing the state unable
to meet its indebtedness, the MAORI
ty Of the counties advanced the mon
ey needed to pay the salaries of their
several teachers, and it is Mr.. Hollo-
ways opinion that they will continue
to do this until all necessity for doing
so is removed. He also thinks that
the counties will individually make
provisions for at least one central
high school. They alone can make
legal appropriations for this purpose
as the state law now stands and as
they are the main benefciaries of an
undisturbed and adequate school sys-
tenn, they doubtless will do their full
duty in this direction.

BANKER GETS DAMAGES
Federal Court Decision Awards
$25,O00 Against Alleged Trust

Afederal court verdict of consider
able local interest was returned Sat-
urday afternoon in the case of John
T.. Hammond, of Orlando, president
Of the State Bank Of New Smyrna.
Hammond charged that certain
grocery firms were united in re-
straint Of trade, thereby forming a
trust, and that by such combination
had forced him out of the grocery
business. Hammond fought for
months to get his case before the
federal court, and when it reached
trial he had an eighteen days con-
flict in which every inch of legal
ground was contested. He won out
with damages for $25, 900, his suit be-
ing for $780, 900.
The case was styled as Hammond
VS.. Consolidated Grocery Co. ct al.
Damages were assessed against the
following grocers: Consolidated Gro
cery company, c. w. Bartleson COM
pany, ]. H. McLauren company, Ba-
ker & Holmes company, United Gro
Gerry company, Miller & Mallard Gro
cery company, c. H. Hargreaves COM
pany, Jacksonville Grocery company
and the McNerny Grocery company,
whom Hammond alleged to be mem
bers of the Southern Wholesale Gro
GERS association, which refused him
membership and forced him to go out
of business because he could not buy
goods from producing firms.
Attorneys for the grocers gave
notice that they would file a motion
for new trial, and this matter will
come before the court later.
