Show i . i . .1, a. ., Washington Letter. - (By P. J. Dyer.) . Washington, D. C, Jan. 27. , '-..,. 'Isn't it about time that someone 4 arose to champion the interests V of the farmer and the fruit- v ; grower? In times past we have seen statesmen, and editors too, for that matter, deeply concerned for the protection of the mechanic and the artisan; but has the fanner ever got what .., t was coming to him? And by farmer let us understand here I everyone who. makes his Jiving by tilling the soil, whether he cultivate beans or wheat or apples or corn, or expresses the juice of the apple or grape for use as a beverage. For that matter every farmer, in the restricted sense, should ,, be a fruitgrower as well, and I;. even more should he be a fruit I consuirier; for has not the great 1 and beneficent Dr. Wiley said: I "Eat oranges; eat them every I day!" Which being interpreted 1 - into the vernacular means really, i I , eat fruit You can't always get I oranges and while the value of 1 I oranges and lemons cannot be ! 1 denied, it is also conducive to J I health to eat apples, pears, I peaches, prunes, apricots in 1 1 short such fruit as the market I I affords. The more that people I eat of fruit the better it will be I 1 for the Nation. It will save I I doctors' bills, prolong life, arid I make you cheerful, though mar- 1 ried. Dr. Wiley says so, and no one knows better than he. M The growth of the fruit in- , w terests may be fairly said to be K one of the marvels of the age. ft Once it was rare to see any fruit wk trees growing on a farm, except Wt perhaps some wild ones. Now I jjp itlsftj poor. itomejfofcw;f ails to 'P"'jiuw 'som(iPIruit. Look at our - nf apple crop. The valley of the i Shenandoah supplied the table of Queen Victoria with apples. The products of our orchards not only feed the millions of people under the Stars and Stripes, but they supply, in part at least, the markets of the world and every year they are growing in demand abroad. Look at the pears, and peaches, and grapes, and raisins, and English walnuts, other fruit i products, taking first place wherever wher-ever they are shown. See the .pineaples, guaves and grape fruit ifrom Florida; California's (Oranges and lemons crowding the foreign product to the wall; the .-south of Texas, with the aid of a itarciff on Bermuda onions, growling grow-ling those tearless vegetables and the JPeerless Leader of the demo-Ksraoy demo-Ksraoy reaping a fortune, accord-ingto accord-ingto current reports, from their culture. New York, Michigan, Orqgan,, Washington, Arizona think iof Arizona looming upas a fruit State, why, almost every State now is a leader in some form oi horticultural production. What will Congress do for the fanner and the fruitgrower? It tried last summer to give him a farmers' free list, so called, Land then by a strange freak of reasoning it started to put his Own products on the free list also al-so by adding lemons to the list, and if it had been successful ""i there one can't say where it j would have ended. Whatever Wi free traders may believe, the ; tariff on oranges has resulted in I driving the foreign orange from ) the American market, and with I protection the lemon growers are I I now supplying one-half of the it home market and they will be; fji able to supply the other half if , fM iejr arc aow,ed reasonable pro-' 1 tection. In both cases, prices It have declins i as the industry has Ii grown. F jrida, Louisiana, I Texas, Arizona, California and 3 II II II I II II lilll .1111 A other States now grow oranges. California grows lemons, and it has the peculiar climate and soil to permit it to grow more. If the supply be limited by discouraging dis-couraging citrus culture in this country, can even an amateur political economist reason that the tariff should be lowered? Why, ask the growers, should an industry be encouraged to the extent that it can supply one-' half of the demand, only to be cast out entirely just as it has demonstrated its right to live? Should the active competition of American growers be withdrawn, could it be expected that the interests in-terests which thereby would gain a monopoly of the market would make the price lower than it was when competition existed? Honestly now, has the farmer been treated fairly by Congress? Does it pay to trample on the interests of the agrarian classes? Why ha3 the farmer been attracted by green backism, by populism, by socialism, by bimetallism, by progressivism? If you reduce the tariff on things the farmer produces, then be consistent, if you believe in free trade, and reduce it on the things he hatf to buy. But; some of the statesmen frdm'the South say, if there must be a tdriffv and we need the revenue td pay the Nation's bills, why not put it on some of the things WE raise? Thatfs just what the farmers say. In the name of fairness give the farmers a chance, for after all isn't it the farmer who draws his wealth from the soil, who CREATES wealth, and makes the whole country richer instead of poorer y his labor? Give him a show. -- r. f yUiji - r The quicker a cold is gotten rid of the less the danger from pneumonia and other serious diseases. Mr. B. V L.
