Weights and Measures Need Correcting
Here a. In New York

Editor Star: After six weeks at

in the 23rd degree, came here on the

in the house with a continuation of
the same being so confined has brought
on an attack of ''cacoeths scribendi,"
and moves me to write an inkling of
what 1 had intended to tell you when
| came to the only Ocala."
Doubtless you have read of the acts
and doings of one Driscoll appointed.
first, superintendent of weights and
measures by Mayor Gaynor of Greater
New York, and later as deputy police
commissioner. (Not to be sacriligious)
But what our Savior did with the curb
brokers' egg and butter dealers, etc,
in the temple. was not marker to
the whirlwind finish Driscoll made of
fraudulent weights and measures in
all branches of trade. He even went
far as to go TO Toledo, Ohio, the
headquarters for weighing and com
putting scales, convinced them he was
on to their methods, and forbid the
shipment to New York of fixed" scales.
The amount of weighing and measur-
ing articles broken up and destroyed
was immense Vegetables, fruits. etc.
are now sold by weight measure most
ly. as they should. Baskets holding
five or six quarts were sold as pecks;
crates and hampers from 10 to II
quarts sold as half-bushels; "A to 80
quarts. as bushels. Now every barrel
of potatoes must be marked with actual
weight Even eggs are TO be sold by
weight Coal wagons, and all vehicles
carrying loose bulk goods are sealed
and marked, so the purchaser can see
- e
uring into paper bags or short weight
baskets has been RELOCATED to the past
know it to be a fact in New York
City that commission men furnished
their customers with short measure
berry barkets when Southern berries
came in so that by repacking into these
baskets they would get SO instead of
30 quarts from a bushel crate-quite
an object to the seller when prices
ranged from % to IS cents per quart.
Now within three months in the same
city | have seen oranges from Porto
Rico, Havana and Jamaica, repacked
in the usual pine box of Florida, and
sold as the actual product of the Land
of Flowers" This damages the rep
utation of the finest orange growing
state in the world.
Now l. envoi of this letter is. that l
want you to get busy" with the Star
and demand that the coming legisla-
ture enact laws that will protect the
buyer in that he receives what he
pays for. and also enhances the repu-
tation of the grower and seller.
am that loyal to the state in which
l passed so many years. that l never
eat or recommend an orange that IS
not grown in dear old Florida. l have
noticed frequently fruits and vegeta-
bleS that are wrapped lacking the
packers name on the wrapper. This
should not be. Every grower who
cares to make his reputation solid,
should not hesitate to place his name
and address on each wrapper. as well
as on the end of the box.

Nails Them.

Some persons opposing the can.
dldacy of Governor Sanders for
the United States Senate are saw
ing his views on the tariff are
iaimical to the sugar interests OF
the State, and that his election to
the senate would work to the in
jury OF those engaged in the grow
ing OF sugar cane. In reply to
these accusations, in a recent let
ter to Mr.. j. Sully Martel, q prom.
inent sugar planter of this place.
Governor Sanders says:
"Sugar is recognized now. and
has always been recognized as an
ideal revenue producer, and a
tar.ff levied upon the importa-
tlon OF sugar is strictly in line
with the Democratic doctrine of a
tariff for revenue to meet the ex-
pelses of the government honest-
y and economically administer
3D." And he adds: ~ am
therefore, unequivocally in favor,
u Ievying a tariff on sugar not
however, on the ground of protec-
ion. but on the great fundamen-
al principal of levying a tariff for
evenue and distributing the bur-
len of taxation in proportion with
ne wealth of the Individual"

work he accomplished in defeatire g
the Bristow amendment which
threatened to practically not only
destroy the sugar industry OF

try at it's mercy to a great extent,
hence the reason for it's narrow es-
cape; but Senator Foster took
"time by the forelocks" and ex.
plained to his colleagues in the
Senate that the Louisiana sugar
planter had no sympathy for the
trust and did not deserve to be
sacrificed for the sins Of the great
offender and that to sacrifice
Louisiana's chief industry would
be to still further the iniquitous
extortions of the trust. So nicely
and intelligently did the Senator
work his point that the Bristow
amendment was defeated by
Democratic and regular Republi.
eau votes. It was this that Sen.
ator Foster was watching at the
capitol, and it now un-
questionably looks as plain |
% day to everybody that he
preferred to lose his personal po-
litical interests, if need be, than
sufier q serious injury to his con- |
.tituents engaged In the manu-
[acture OF sugar. He has been
warmly congratulated for his
great victory in this matter by
