business be the same, but prevents the
issuing of watered stock in the trans
action. It has nothing to do with hold

COMPROMISE.

compromise.
Mr.. Powell urged that lemons re-
main at one and one half cents a
pound duty, and oranges, lines, grape
fruit. shaddocks and pomelos at one
cent. He said there were twelve
lemons per capita consumed in this
country annually and that the present
tariff levy amounted to three and one
half or four cents per capita tax. He
said the California growers got their
lowest prices between the AIleghanies
and the seaboard where the compti-
ton was tn fiercest, and the highest
west of the Missouri river where they
commanded the market. He insisted
that tariff reduction would lead to
Italian monoDolisticz control of the
American lemon market.
Mr.. Underwood said he wanted to
find out what the alifornia growers
organization was doing. Mr. Powell
