Siciiian lemons, raised where labor IS
much cheaper. can be sold cheaper than
the California fruit. If there is not
adequate protection, the Sicilians will

This, It is said, is especially true in
the eastern part Of the United States.
Freight rates are against the California
products. The distance is almost as
great as from Sicily, and the Sicilian
has ocean freights. which are always
much cheaper. Therefore. If the Cal
ifornian is TO compete for the Eastern
market he must be protected against
the cheap labor plus the cheap freights

And this brings into It another con-
sideration. II lemons are to be hauled

that the hauling should be done by an
American railroad, rather than b. a
European freight steamship? The rail

In short, the advocates Of the in

There's a lemon lobby in town, and
Il claims TO have been handed an
awful one by Senator Aldrich.
The tariff on lemons has been going
steadily upward for a long series of
years. 1t was fixed by the Mckinley
bill at p cents per box of twenty-five
dozen. The Wilson bill raised it 10 30
cents. The Dingley act, though impos-
ing the duty by weight, worked out at
so cents per box. The Payne bill, i'm
posing IA cents per pound. worked out
at 81 25 per box; and now comes the
Aldrich measure raising this to $50
per box. The importers are making a
vigorous protest. and charge that these
increases will add at least cents per
dozen. and perhaps 10 cents, to the cost

It takes about half billion lemons a

About all the lemons in the world,

raised in Sicily and California. The
growth Of the industry in California
has been so large in the last decade
that the importers say there is no pos
