Women havo taken to kissing each other on the check as nn expression of friendship. Physicians nro putting their patient on their guard against many chance of con- tagion uurecognied by tho medicine of a generation ago. The whole reading public, too, has acquired general Information as to the subject, from the diffusion of the results of modern scientific Investigation Into the origin of disease. Wo aro surprised, therefore, that Ihe re- ligious papers do not ee the lmportauco of this discussion, so far as it affects the use of tho common chalice, and improe the op- portunity which It affords them of ghlng It thorough treatment in both its scientific and theological npects. A great number of physicians, probably more of them compara- tively than of any other of the secular pro- fessions, are communicants of tho different Churches punctilious Iu the observance of religious ordinances. Hence, when criticism of the use of the common wino cup comes from them, it does not have Its source In ir- reverence or n light regard for the holy mystery of the Kucharlst. Neither docs a chatigo in the method of administration of tho element involve nec- essarily any interference with its essential religious Importance. It would not affect the doctrine of communication In both kinds which distinguishes Protestantism from Itoman Catholicism. It concerns only an existing method of administration, hal- lowed, It Is true, by many centuries of pious observance, but which can be changed with- out disturbing tho animating spirit of the sacrament. The question ls not whether communion In both kinds shall bo disused, but how it may bo preserved without disre garding nclentlUc demonstration of the dangers attending the present practice. The discussion of the subject, so that the most desirable method consistent with the solemnity of the holy mystery may 1 found and adopted, should and must pro- ceed In ull Protestant churches. It cannot Ira smothered, but mist eventually coino up lu thcleglslntlvo bodies, the assemblies, con- ferences, and conventions of all the Protes- tant denominations, though meanwhile dif- ferent substitutes for the common chalice nro likely to bo Introduced into many indi- vidual churches. Tho Pay of tho Medical Profession. Wo referred recently to tho average, sal- aries received by American clergymen ln the principal religious denominations. No less interesting is the question of tho earn- ings of physicians and surgeons in this country. Wo find somo facts relating to this subject in an nrticlo contributed to tho September numlier of tho Forum by Ur. GKORaE F. Siihadv, and tho data collected are rendered tho moro instructive by a de- tailed comparison with tho stnto of things in England, France, and Germany. The conclusion to which the Fontm nrticle seems to point ls that, iu view of tho beneficent work accomplished, tho medical profession Is underpaid. The result of tho author's Inquiries ls thnt tho average annual Income of physicians in largo practico iu most of the large cities cannot be put nbove 93,000, while in tho smaller towns and rural districts it scarcely oxcoeds 91,200. As regards the city of New York, It Is that two or thrco phslclans make over 9100,000 n year; that ttvo or six rango from 8t0,000 to 800,000 ; fifty from 825,000 to 830,000; one hundred and fifty from 910,000 to 812,000; about three hundred from 95,000 to 90,000; fifteen hundred from 82,000 to 90,000, and tho remainder from 3800 to 81,000. Tho rule ls said to lie that tho largest Incomes aro ultimately mr.de ly thoso physicians of conspicuous ability who confine their practico to a spe- cial branch, but when the long preparation necessary and the timo spent in attaining a reputation nro considered, tho su- periority of receipts is less considerable than might at first sight be supposed. For the ordinary practitioner, what Is known as general family work appears to be tho most remunerative. The rapidity with which success may bo gained depends largely upon whether tho young doctor settles In a rural district, a growing towu, or a largo city. Country practico yields moro at tho begin- ning, but tho muxltnum is sooner reached. This would obviously follow from the differ- ence In the scale of fees. Iu many of the smaller towns a physician gets no moro than half a dollar for au office visit, and but twice that for a call within a mile from his home. In tho large cities the fees nro higher, yet even in New York they are far from being exorbitant. Tho general family practitioner charges from 92 to 95 per vislttothepatlent'shouso. The average fee expected from tho rich is but 95, although twlco that sum is usually de- manded by physicians whoso practico is for the most part limited to such people. Office consultations of specialists cost from $10 to 825, as do also consul- tation Waits. When a New York physi- cian. Is called out of town, the usual chargu, we aro told, Is from 810 to 920 for each hour of absence from home, plus trav- elling oxpenses, and the regular fee of 825 for the consultation Itself. Not a few prac- titioners, however, obtain twice or threa times those amounts. As might havo been expected, surgical operations commaud tho highest prices, which vary, according to tho skill and reputation of tin operator, from 8100 up Into the thousands. It seems that, in general, night calls, whether ordinary or consultation visits, are paid fur at double the rates of day calls. Now, let us see how the earnings of Amer- ican physicians compare with thoso of somo of their European cuufreres. In Engluud the guluea Is still the standard office fee, double that amount belui; charged fur out- side work. In London, however, much larger suras aie paid to the few physicians and surgeons who control the best business. The same thing may be said of Paris, where the maximum fee fur surgical operations may be said to be $5,000, such having been the ruling of the court iu which a suit was lately brought for 810,000 for a surgi- cal service. The usual Parisian fee for a sur- geon called in consultation is 920, whether tho examlnatinu takes place in his office or at the patient's house. The pay of a phy. siclau called lu consultation Is somewhat smaller, ranging from 81 - to 820 per house visit, while at bis offlce it U from 94 to 810, The general practitioner lu Paris ob- tains ou an average 89 per visit, but in aristocratic circles he demands 84. The highest annual Income now received by any Paris physician Is said to be 8 10,000, although the late M, Charcot is reported to hve earned much more. There are two surgeons In the French capital who are reputed to make 8100,000 a year. The ordinary fees of the medical profession in Germany seem much lower than our own, but we must bear In mind that the purchas- ing power of the mark Is much greater than that of its nominal equivalent, 23 cents, even If It be not quite equal, as Dr, Subadt thinks, to that of o dollar. The German kg" doctor gcU S marks, or 00 ctata, for an office visit. The specialist, of Berlin and other largo German cities charge from C to 10 marks for ontaldo calls. The high modi-c- at authorities receive SO mark, In their of- fices and SO for visits at a patient's home. On tho whole, the average earnings of tho German family doctor are computed at $ 1 ,200 a year, and those of physicians called in consultation and of first-rat- e specialists at 89,000. Regarding the casual windfalls ob- tained by European practitioners of dis- tinction, Ur. SutnuY recalls tho fact that the late physician of the Prince of Walks received for four weeks' at- tendance at Sandrlngham, during his patient's illness from typhoid fever, notonly thetitloof Baronet, but a fcoof 800,000. lr MoRKt.L MACKEXZIK Is reported to bare re- ceived more than twice as much for his treat- ment of the Emperor FitEUKUtcK. Another fact less known Is that the Nawabof Kam-pu- r recently paid an army surgeon 8200,000 for three months' occasional attendance In an ordinary attack of rheumatism. A Rus- sian surgeon Is reported to havo charged a patient In Odessa 80,000 for opening an Ab- scess of the hip, the timo occupied being about ten minutes. Now and then a windfall of tho kind aboto exempli- fied occurs on this side of tho Atlan- tic. Dr. Siirauy asserts that certain American multimillionaires pay for tho excluslvo and constant attendance of their physicians from 800,000 to 8100,000 a year. Wo are told that ono physician re- ceived 987,000 for intending the daughter of a very rich man for two months ; another $00,000 fur n ach ting cruise of loss than six mouths. If we survey, however, tho whole fiold of the American medical profession, wo innst recognize that the prizes aro few, and that the value of the services done is out of all proportiun to the pay laboriously gained. Tho Wilson Bill Wan Passed. A betting mnn hero asks for some politi- cal instruction, and gets lti "To tub Ecitob or The BvnStr: As a Democrat t mada a bet with a Republican that Ihe Wilpdx bill would pau CongrcM In aoms form at this union. What Tariff bill, whether Wiuoi, Qoriux, or Uoqm bill, has Jutt become a law t " I'lraae publlia auswer lu THE ECT, which shines for all. In order that our bet maj be decided. " Dorrox, Aug-- . M, " II. T. KinaaT." Tho Republican must pay. Tho bill in- troduced into Congress by tha IIou. Wil- liam Ij. Wilson, tho Administration meas- ure, protectionist and populistic In Its ear- liest stages, passed Congress on Monday, Aug. 18. During tho entire period of amendment and modification nothing occurred to divest the Tariff bill of its original tltlo of " WlL-BOK- ." It took on various transient names, such as GoiniAK, Vooriiels, or Harris, according as this or that Senator figured most prominently in tho redistribution of par- ticular atrocities in its protectionism, or in tho political management of it on the floor. But It remained tho WILSON bill as dis- tinctly and incontestabiy as McKls ley's measure remained McKixley's after tho many amendments put on It by the Senate. The bill sustained but ono alteration In principle. That was iu tho House, when Representative McMlLLIK of Tenncsseo suc- ceeded in tacking on to it a socialis- tic system of class taxation by tax- ing a special class of incomes. Did it becomo known thereby ns the Mc- MlLLIK bill? Not much. It began and ended as tho Wilsox bill, or, more proper- ly, despite tho President's wailsandattcmpts to get away from it, tho Clevelaxd-Wil-BOXbll- l. Let this Boston Democrat take his money. Hay.. Tha perfidy, dishonor, and surrender Tariff bill reduces the duty ou hny Im- ported Into tho United States by about one-hal- f; and this recalls the attention of somo of its opponents to tho fact that Cauada is now our strong competitor in tho hay market, and that tho centres of trade lying along the Canadian border will suffer most by the reduction of this duty. Tho cost of production In Canada Is said to bo 45 per cent, lower than In tho United States. In 1870 the hay yield of the United States was 21,025,000 tons; in 1880 tho yield was 81,085,833 tons; in 1803 it was 05,700,-1C- 8, worth 8570,S82,872, or more than double the value of the cotton crop, more than twice the value of the wheat crop, nearly fifteen times greater than that of the tobacco crop, and within a fraction of that of the com crop of 1803, which was $000,-000,0- in value. New York stands at the head of tho States, the hay crop of this State being of the average value annually of moro than $00,000,000. New York, from Its proximity to the Canada border line, will probably suffer most from the importation of hay, under a lowered tariff rate, but that consideration should not be permitted to stand in the way of a fair trial of the new bill for readjusting and redistributing the atrocities of the McKlNLEY tariff, un- der the workings of which, in 1899 and 1803, a considerable foreign trade iu hay was beginning to be established. It would not surprise us very much if somo of our Republican farmer friends In the northern part of the State would lie able, to do a turn of political haymaking this year iu consequence of the change In tho tariff on hay, but they shouldn't forget that It. Pet-tido- Flow! it Is something of a hay- maker, too. Ono Year of Hullroml Accidents. The Inter-Stat- e Commerce Commission has published fur tho last six years an an- nual report on the statistics of railways In the United States. Tho report for tho year endlug Juue 30, 1893, has just been issued from tho Government Printing Office at Washington. It is not as dry reading as might be supposed. The portions relating to the equipment of American railroads and to accidents are particularly Interesting. During tho six years which have elapsed since the Iuter-Stat- e Commerce Commission began to collect these statistics, the number of persons emplojees, passengers, and oth- erskilled or Injured by railway accidents ln the United States has Increased from 31,170 in the year 1887-8- 8 to 47,780 lu the year 1802-03- , Out of this total for 1802-3- , 7,346 persons were killed. The figures for the last year Indicate that the greatest danger to which railway are exposed Is the liability to fall from trains and engines. Of 2,727 employees killed in the year 1802-3,0- 44 met their death iu this way. The other principal perils, stated in the order of their destructlveness to life, are, coupllngand uncoupling cars, collisions, and derailments. The number of employees killed while coupling or uncoupling cars was 433, and b so large as to indlcato the ne- cessity of greater attention on the part of railroad managers to devising methods for the prevention of this form of casualty. In the year to which the report particularly relates, only 290 passengers were killed on all the railways In the United States. l. f Of the Purpose of, tpmj njng railway itti- - tlstles, tho Inter-Stst- e Commerce Commis- sion ha divided the territories of the Union Into ten groups. Group I. comprises the New England States; H the Middle States j III., Ohio, IndLann, and Michigan; IV., the Virginias and Carollnasj V., Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida; VI., Illinois, Wiscon- sin, Minnesota, Iowa, the northern half of Missouri and the eastern halves of tho Dakota; VII., the rest of tho Dako- ta.,, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, and tho northern part of Colorado; VIII., the rest of Colorado, the northern port of New Mex- ico, Kansas, the Indian Territory, Arkansas, and tho southern halt of Missouri; IX., Louisiana, Texas, and southeastern New Mexico; X., the rest of New Mexico, Arl-ron- a, Callfornlo, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington, We have stated the constitution of these groups in detail, becauso it is very interest- ing to note the comparative safety of rail- way travel in different parts of the country, ns indicated by tha proportion between tho numlier of passengers carried 'and the num- ber of passengers killed In each group. In Group I., that Is to say, the New Eng- land States, moro than three and a quarter millions of passengers were carried for ono killed. Tho next group lu or- der of safety Is If., comprising tho Middle States, whero moro than two and a quarter millions of passengers were carried for one killed. Group HI. Is next in order, with upward of two million ono hundred thousand passengers carried for ono killed. The order of tho other groups. with referenco to safety, Is Group X., Group VI., Group V., Group IX., Group VII., Group VIJI., and Group IV. In the lastone, comprising Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, only OaO.ttlO passengers were carried to ono killed. This report also brings out ln a very strik- ing manner tho difference betnecn the danger incurred by passengers and tho danger Incurred by employees lu rnllway transportation. During the year under con- sideration, taking tho country ns a whole, out of every 320 men employed ono was killed; and out of every twenty-eig- ht men employed ono was injured. The peril to employees Is greatest to thoso actu- ally engaged ln operating trains; and, In this branch of railroad work, it appears thnt ono cmployeo was killed for overy 1 10, and ono was Injured out of every fen. In March of last year Congress enacted n statuto which obliges all Intcr-Stat- o com- mon carriers to equip their trains with couplers and train brakes before tho beginning of 1808. If this law ls car- ried into effect, it can hardly fall to reduce the proportion of casualties ln the freight service of our railroads generally. In a spirited appeal to the Democracy for Bttlftaml vigorous actio-- ; In the lino of Demo- cratic professions, our esteemed contemporary, the Time, serves notlco upon Mr. Cleveland that fine talk ls not enough: "We warn our party an1 lis leader, the rrenlrtent, that this Is not a contest to be won aolely ujr the uw of phraws,hovrrr happy, or by general denunciation or the truit or ot Its tool. Tho condemnation of thenemrnuy the I'rcMiicnt Is hot and Just. So has been that of other honest Democratic reformers In plarea ot responsibility. We hare no criticism to make upon It, We insist, howerer, that the next thing needed ls action." The demand upon 5rr. Cleveland, while not unreasonable, ls considerable. Wo print a most Interesting Iotter about the fruits of Oregon, sent to us by an Orcgonlai, who thinks that we bare overpraised somo of the California fruits. Wo must tell Its writer that Now Yorkers nave not had the opportunity of knowing the fruits of Oregon as well as they know those of California. W can assure him that If Oregon ahall supply us with better fruitj than California, tho Heaver State will be en- riched n III: car loads ofuhe good money thnt w e are sending to tho Golden Slate. Wo have no favoritism for tho Calltornlan pcarj, plums, grapes, apples, cherries, or primes, as against the Oregonlan. Wo merely want the ery best of their l.lrd that can be raised on the continent of North America. Let Oregon think how much California win get from us this year for tho products of Its gen- erous Foil. If tho Oregon fruit growers want our market, they must prove that they deserve It. If their fruits are tha best, send them along in trains of a hundred cars. Our correspondent, " Oregon," admits that the Oregon fruit gronors havo "shipped their products In an imperfect condition." Just aol or at least we supposo It must bo ao, for we do not hear much of the Oregon fruit products In New York. Those of great California aro all the go here. We would like to see Oregon out- rival California, and wo would llko to sec Cali- fornia keeping ud with Oregon ln our fruit markets. Oregon Is too late for this year. I.ct the Htats show us what It can do ln 1H0S. We shall glorify Its fruits as soon as no have good rea- son to do so. Twice or thrice we have told the Russian rabbis of tho east sldo that the writs of dUorra which some ot them sell to unhappy hnsbanda of the Jewish faith are not legal papers In this Stnte or In any part of tlds country. Yet tho trafilo In tlieno writs Is kept up, and the evils of It are often deplorable. A man was eent to prison on Monday to await trial for bigamy, wlthnhichhe was charged In Justice IlVAN's court. He had been divorced from his first wife by a Ludlow ftrcet rabbi, and een thnt n If o herself, w hen she appeared In court, testified to her belief In the validity of thedltorrc. The Justice tried to enlighten the accused upon the subject before he held him for trial. "X rabbi's dlorce," ho aald, "la only a piece of worthless paper." "Pome of tho rabbis here," ho added, "ouht tu bo punished for Imposing upon these simple people." Both of Diamoxu.htkin's wives Were In court when the divorce purchased from Kahbt Weii l was thus denounce and the Drat uf them sobbed while the second of them smiled, Tha divorce-grantin- g rabbis had bettor pay attention to tha warning given them by Juitlcu Rvax, If they do not, they will deserve tho punishment of which he spoke. It aecms to us that our Jewish contemporaries might render good eervho tu the Jewish new- comers by making them acquainted v. 1th the American laws respecting marriage and dl orc, A rabbinical dhorco Is a worthless piece ot paper in an American court. It cannot justify any man In marrying a second wife while his first wife Is alive. Induing to, he is a hljumlst, and llablo to prosecution. Adjt.-Gen- . Porter's decision to have a team from the New York National Uuard t ou. test In the Hilton Trophy and Inter-Stat- e matches at Sea lllrt Is prett) sure of appro a). These matches belong to the National KltJo Association, ana for many successive J cars w ere held at Creedmoor. In thoso days New York naturallv and properly urged teams from other States to participate ln them. Now, therefore, that these annual matches are shot on the rifle grounds of a neighboring State, It would be rather ungracious for New York to absent her- self needlessly. She did fall to send a team to Sea dirt hut year, but the mistake was palpable. Years ago teams from as far away as Michigan, and even California, sometimes came to Creed-mo- to shoot la these same matches, aud the trouble and expenso which they incurred were thoroughly appreciated by the military authorities of New York. In the present caae thero Is no question of crossing the continent or comtng from the Mississippi, bnt only of travel- ling to a comparatively near-b- y New Jersey sea- side resort, at small expense, for a single day's competitive shooting. Apart from this consideration, New York has a repoutloa to cujatala and a rtccrd p eoa- - . Jfiiss.-'ikSsllMifi- l tlnue In marksmanship. She Is ahead ot her sister States in the aggregate winnings and holdings of tho Hilton Trophy and the Boldlcr of Marathon. It Is true that her team was beaten two years ago at Sea Ulrt in both matches, but she made a very close contest for the Hilton Trophy. She had won both matches at Creedmoor the year before. Of the sixteen annual competitions for the Hilton Trophy New York has won four, and of the nineteen for tho Inter-Stat-e she has won six, her total of ten surpassing that of any other competitor. This record tho onght to keep up, thus showing that the does not need a home range In order to win laurels. It would be well If a revival of the old-tim- e Interest In the annual competitions of the Na- tional Rifle Association could bo shown this year at Sea Qlrt. The value of good marksman- ship to tho cttlten soldiers ls not likely to bo overrated, and each year brings Its lesson as to that value. It would be a further point of In- terest It the regulars of tho forts In New York harbor could send a team to compete, as In for- mer days. Gen. HowAno said In his last year's report that ho had approved a march to Sea Girt, but lacked the funds to authorize It. It Is to be regretted that there Is not Mtno war of ob- viating this difficulty, as thocxpente Isso slight, and the pretence of a team of regulars pitted against the State troops would add great In- terest to tho meeting. At all events, It Is a point gained that .New York will be represented this year at Sea Qlrt. Tho Hon. TnoMAS M. PASCHAL, Congress- man of Texas, of course A Democrat, has been defeated for renomlnatton ln ills district because ho oted for free wool. Tho Democrats down thero resent such treachery, and they are through with Pasciiau What right had Mr. Paschal, when his partr platform said that the tariff should bo mado up for the pnrpoo of "rerenuoonly," to discrimi- nate botwecn wool and other products, and to cut off tho rcvenno from the wool? Under Uie funda- mental principle ot the Democracy wool stood upon the footing of e cry other article. No In- terest can bo favored. The wool grower who produces wool and the manufacturer who uses It must be treated alike. Neither ono ran bo known to tho Demorrntlo tariff maker who, blind to all persons and deaf to alt robber pro- tectionist clamor, lays a duty upon every artlclo Imported to this country to the extent that all together they shall supply tho revenue neces- sary for tho Government. Wo apjdaud the spirit of these Texas Democrats who havo promptly turned out of onlco tho representative who spurned his party platform for somo crank or Influenco foreign to its principles, aud sub- jected them to Injustice and Injury. Awnr frenzy llko that of Japan has not yet been manifested ln China. This fact Is not necessarily a had sign for China. Tho feverish and furious Japanese may be beaten by the tolld and obstinntp Chinese. The Japanese blood Is boiling, but It will get off tho boll after a while The Chinese blood Is lukowarm, but tho fires of war are pretty sure to heat It up. Tho Japaneso started out on tho full run; tho Chinese held their wind for a long race. It Is only people unacquainted with tho history of China's wars who can think that the Chinese aro not hard fighters, when fight they must, lloth the English and the French have had bad times with tho Chlncso on tha battlefield. Tho Japs talk of seizing Pekln, dethroning the Emperor, and conquering China. This is folly and e. Thoy may yet need all their strength for the defenco of their own country. A few days ago wo brought together tho several reports of now gold fields at Musca In Colorado, at Coolgardlo In Australia, nt In Africa, at Counanl in French Qulana, and upon tho eastern frontier of Venezuela. We now notice In tho Panama Star ami Herald a report of new discoveries In various provinces of Chill. That Journal says: " In Coqulmbo the gold ferer Is developing. Anda-eoll- o la not the only place at which gold has been struck, but at Cruzdo Cans also, where tho range It In a Tlrgln state. In many parts of tho province ot Cbllloegold has been struck.

Wo need It; wo can make use of It. Wo can give tho Africans nnd Australians and South Americans andColorndonns lots ot tempt- ing things In exchange for It. They are not able to eat or drink It, and they can't wear much of It. We tell them to send it along. The Treasury Is yawning for It. When that Italian crew of strolling musi- cians who have taken ship for Now York land here, they ought to strike out for the country districts at once. Wo havo plenty of their kind ln tho city already, and the police aro apt to dis- turb them In the execution of their art. Hut the rural regions are very dull nil the year, nnd we must thln't that hundreds of them might make a living there, with hand-orga- fiddle, flute, bugle, fog-hor- or other attractive instrument. We should say that Now Hampshire, Connecti- cut, Michigan, Kansas Texas, North Dakota, Idaho, and Nevada would bo good Stalen fur them, as there la but llttlo of tho best music In theso States. They mutt, however, learn to play American tunes, like " Yankee Doodle," "Down on theSnwanee," O, Say Can You See," or "The Ilowcry." Foreign music, the Italian canzonettl, for Instance, won't go In the rural regions of this patrlollo country. The trouba- dours Hnd Jougleurs were great In their day; but either Connecticut cr ICanas would run them out. HIo ivway, then, hie nn ar from New York, ye strolling musicians, as soon as you land here, and stay not upon the order of j our going I Tho few old "apple women" who used to wander about town In other times have been superseded by many hundreds of alert Italian fruit venders, who trundlo their hand-cart- or carry their baskets, or wait at tht Ir stands.

They would make lnme money If they were to learn to apeak the language of the American people. Hardly any of our Italian Immigrants will take the trouble to learn Eng- lish; and they believe It Is very hard to learn.

IalertsttBft Iaforntatlaa for California tad New Torhera. To inn EDiTon or Tnn Smt-S- lr: If there Is any one thing thnt commends Tnn Bex to Its multitude of readers It Is Its absolute fairness ln everything. Permit me, then, to call yonr attention to a statement made In an editorial In Sunday's Issue, relative to California products, wherein you sayt "There aro not any better fruits In all tho world than those of California." I think that In this assertion you unintention- ally do an Injustice to California's sister States, Oregon and Washington. Nowhere In the world Is the quality of fruits tuperlor to that of thoso grown in these States, and notably Is this so In regard to the former. Endowed by nature with n soil that, as experts claim has no superior for blerred w 1th a rllmato of rare ex- cellence, supplied with a precipitation that ren- ders rccourso to Irrigation unnccopsnry, theso two Northwestern States stand preeminent among fruit-growi- communities for tho quality of their fruits. Whern nre Oregon's nnd Washington's equals for apples, pear. cherries, plums, and prunes? That the fruits there ratsod aro the best Is evidenced by th fact that they command a better price than any others ln tho markets of the country. Candor compels mo to state, however, that the fruit growers of theso two States have hereto- fore fallen Into the same error that you com- plain of respecting tho California prodiircrs, ln shipping their products In au Imperfect condi- tion. If your admonition Is nctcu upon by the California, Oregon, and Washington producers, the benefits that will Inuro to them in reputa- tion and monoy will Iks nliuply Inestimable. I trust tho nowspapers on tho Pacific coast will copy your nrticlo fi etttnuK Ncv er were truer words penned than when ytm wrote! "ln reaching for the world's markets tho far West- ern fruit growers must nlwnys bear In mind that tho world knows a good thing when It sees It, and Is as quick ln detecting tho bad ns In appreciat- ing tho good." If the growers heod this timely wisdom they will reap Incalculable benefit from Tub Sun's sage advic e. OiiGUO.v. New Youk, Aug. i'8. Hansom Itatllshed-Wli- ut Now! To tub Eurroit or tub Sun .Sir.'
