ORANGES Sl.OO PER BOX.

Growers. have YOU ever realized that
the north will consume as many box Is

tree rs If they We're sold for 80 cents
80 cents. or even - cents per box! 1t
makes very little difference to the con
sumner whether he pays 20 cents per
dozen or thirty cents per dozen. We
mean that the average consumer Will
purchase what oranges he desires when
they are 30 cents about as readily as
he will at 90 cents. These prices rep
resent about the difference in retail
charges made for this fruit when com.
pairing last seasons prices with the
prices Of the present season. Yet we
doubt most seriously If more oranges
20 cent rate than were consumed last
season at the 80 cent rate. The pack
crs have charged the same price land
we don't blame them. for their price
has been reasonable, probably rs cheap
az they can afford), the pickers the
same, the railroads the same, the bro
kers the same, and the growers "have
caught it in the neck"
But what is the point? The point is
that no oranges should he sold for less
than 81 per box on the tree. This
price Is reasonable and profitable. At
this cost the consumer can obtain them
at perfectly satisfactory prices, and
yet permit the packers. railroads and
others to make their usual profit. Now,
growers (and we are one Of them do
You want the 81 per ho\? What valtl
reason can be given rs To why the
growers should not fix price on their
oranges? Prices are fixed by all other
business concerns on their products,
then why should not the growers fix n
price on their products: This has been
done by producers, ana can be done
again. Growers who are interested in
getting 81 per box for all oranges TO
be sold next season should attend the
mass meeting to he held mt the court

II seems In these days Of strife ev-
cry time n gun is discharged or some

President Wilson has made a lot OF good speeches and written
plenty of excellent messages, but he has not yet coined a phrase that
sticks. In recent times Cleveland and Roosevelt were by far the cev-
crest Of presidential catch-word artists.
No phrase cHngs to the Taft administration. Even the term "insur-
gents" applied to the boiling Republicans during his term. has given
place to Bull Moose-cGned by his great adversary, the colonel
Credit is usually given to General Jackson for saying TO the victors
belong the spons.' Governor w. /" Marcy of New York actually made
the phrase which cut a big figure in the Tyer-Cass-Van Buren, battle.
One phrase born in the bitterness OF a political fight ninety years
ago forever kept Henry Clay M of the presidency. 1t vas the famous
Corrupt Bargain" for which Jackson and his friends would neve allow
decent burial. '
General Hancocks assertion that the tariff was a local issue" cost
him enough votes to elect Garfield. There is not a doubt that Rum,

Blaine for president in 1884.

Declaring that for humanitarian reasons it could not accept orders
to furnish war material to the European belhgerents, the Electric Steel
company has refused to bid on a contract for steel shells for the British
government valued at S4NWO00.
The order was received by the Foreign Trade commission. The
contract for the entire amount as rendered the Carbon Steel company.
but refused because of the press OF work.

Steel company, said:
