PROSPERITY IN X3Y WEST.
Its Cigars, Its Sponges, Its Gardens
and Its Nut Farms.
From the yew York lime*.
Key West, Nov. 16. —It was as far back
as the year ISIS that Connecticut fishermen,
attracted by stories of the immense catches
in the southern seas, abandoned the shoals
of Long Island and set sail in
their smacks down the Atlantic coast
to settle permanently on the small
island of Key West. Their only market
■was Havana, and by their industry they
sin drove the half-breed fishermen of Cuba
to seek other employment. In 1832 the
colony had grown to such a size that a
custom house was established there, and
from that day to this, judging from the
town talk 1 hear, the government offices,
such as collector and inspectors, and the
salaries connected therewith, have been a
source of great worry to ull Key Westers
who did not secure them.
Fishing , wrecking and sponging, as that
industry is called, were the principal occu
pations of the people up to 1870, when, dur
ing the Cuban rebellion, many patriots
escaped from their Spanish rulers to land at
Key West. These people knew nothing but
the manufacture of cigars, and every hut
and shanty occupied by them in the start
became a cigar factory as soon as they
could secure the leaf from Cuba. Since
1870 the cigar industry has been steadily
increasing, until now the town boasts of 150
cigar manufactories,employing 9,ooo,Cubaus
and Americans, which last year shipped
t)i),O"O,UUO cigars, and this year, on the au
tuority of E. H. Gato, the Jprgest manu
fac’urer, may be expected to produce 180,-
0( 0,000 of the fragrant Key West brand.
The profits of the business are large, as will
be seen when it is understood that Mr.
Gato, who to-day is worth $500,000, came
to Key 'West ten or eleven years ago and
worked for wages at the cigar table. Such
good results have stimulated every branch of
trade, and what before was waste sand lots
on the island is now held as valuable real es
rate, daily increasing in value: and it is as
difficult to purchase a plat of land in Key
Wes as it is to buy one of the Astor fam-
I fiy’s houses in New York. Every proparty
holder has the greatest faith in the future
of the town, and justly feels hurt when the
rise in re il estate is compared with a Cali
fornia boom, because his values are
founded on a solid business industry.
Wrecking is now scarcely followed at all,
as last year tho total losses on the Florida
reefs fell inside of $100,000; but the sponge
! industry has greatly increased in value,
: Key West alone shipping $375,000
wor;h per annum. The town is tho
home of about 200 vessels,
ranging in sizo from the common cat
rigged boat to fine vessels of forty tons
! measurement, constructed at Key West, of
line woods, cut on Elliott’s Key and Key
Margo, and worth SIO,OOO each. Through
the kindness of a gentleman engaged in the
sponge trade I secured passage on one of
( his sloops on a sponging expedition up the
coast. The cabin accommodations were
limited, the sun intolerably hot, as we
always sought calm spots, and the ever
present odor of Bahama negroes, of which
the crew was composed, made the trip one
not soon to be forgotten.
Nearly all the captains of these boats
have some interest in tho cargo secured, and
in former years were a superior class of
men, but w hen cigars became so profitable
many hands went from the tiller to the
work table, and the Bahama negro, or
“Nassau coon,” as he is called, came over to
fill the vacant bunk. The “coon” can only
be described as blacker than ink, good for
nothing but sponging; lazy, dissipated, and
so low generally that the respectable Key
B est negro passes him by without a nod.
They have a peculiarly offensive, impudent
manner, which is more apparent in new
comers from Nassau than in those who have
passed a year or so among Americans. On
shore the “coon” never leaves the grogshop,
but once afloat and away from whisky ho
works well.
Each vessel has from eight to ten small
boats or dingies, which are manned by two
men, one in the bow, on the lookout for
sponges, and tho other astern, to scull slowly
along. Clear water, that through which
the bottom can be seen, is necessary, as the
sponge is always on the bottom. The man
in ti e bow always uses a water-glass to
enable him to discern sponges at a depth of
40 feet, which is made by knocking the
bottom out of a common wooden water
pail and inserting in its place a glass plate.
With the water-glass in one hand he peers
through it closely, watching the bottom
until he sees his prize, when he cautions
his companion to steady the boat
while he secures the sponge by moans
of a grappling hook fastened on the end of
a l rty-ioot yellow pine pole. This is con
tinued all day under a broiling sun, the
6mall boats returning from time to time to
unload at the large vessel. When the
sponge is detached from the bottom it is
covered and filled with a meaty substance,
which dies and rots away whan the sponge
is placed in other water, emitting an odor
more offensive than Long Island menhadeu.
B hen the meat has decayed sufficiently the
“coons” beat the sponges with rods, as car
pets are beaten, which expels all the meat,
after which the sponges are strung on heavy
twine and taken to be auctioned off by the
pound on the Key West sponge wharf.
i presume the sponge dealers of the town
are of the opinion that there are enough
people in their line of business already,
l>eeause they are very discreet and say but
little about profits. Mr. John Low, Jr., the
largest sponge dealer in the place, earnestly
assured me that there “was nothing in it,”
when I tried to get some figures ;yet some of
his friends told mo that with one exception,
two months ago, he had bought every
sponging vessel offered for sale in Key West
during the last ten years. When a vessel
has secured 500 or 600 “strings” of
sponges she has all she can carry, and this
quantity is a fair estimate of a three,
months’ trip. The auctions are attended
by all dealers interested in the sponge
trade, ana I have frequently seen $30,000
worth of sponges on the wharf. The
‘coon” is always present at the auction,
and though his tougn, black skin may have
just returned from a three months’ hot,
hard-working trip, he will be there dressed
1,1 an immaculate suit of white duck, hold
mg an umbrella over his head to protect his
complexion.
Key West island is about six miles long,
a a 1% miles wide. The foundation is
solid rock, though the casual observer
vould imagine it to be but a sand kev.
■before 1870 some small gardens on the
tsland produced an abundant supply of
vegetables, hut now no garden labor is
available, because wages in cigar factories
run from sl2 to S2O per week, while farm
hands could not expect more than $1 a day,
und as any farmer boy can sprinkle tobacco
and roll a cigar with but lit! le practice, the
■Bardens have become full of weeds.
H bile in the sponge district I spent a few
vfi' 8 arnon ? garden truck farmers of
, loti's Key, Key Largo, Upper and
bower Matcombe, aud Plantation Key,
winch skirt the west coast of the peninsula
from Key West to Cape Florida. About
bx hundred people live on these keys, work
ing on the gardens during the winter, ship
ping to New York weekly by the Mallory
Line from four thousand to six thousand
crates of vegetables, which, reaching New
fork “out of season,” so to speak, com
mand very high prices. Tomatoes, egg

From Key West to Cape Florida, 180
mdes,3oo,ooo coooanut trees have been
planted within the past ten years, and have
been found to thrive wonderfully well.
J ust now in its infancy, while say but one
imrd of the trees are bearing, the owners
up the crop to the northern markets, but
the increased planting will glut those
larkets, and will render necessary many
' H lactones along the coast, which will be
still more profitaole. While I was on the
spot a sale was effected of a small nut
• f or SIO,OOO, which had cost but
nedv 0 ' . Much northern capital is
Miming down into this section, and
iargost farm of cocoanuts is now
owned by Fields & Osborn, a New Jersey
company. The cocoanut tree needs no
care, the owner merely being obliged to
gather his crop. The girden farmers of the
kevs are always available labor, being oc
cupied at home in the winter season only,
w ith the other nine m nths on their hands
to divide between gathering cocoanuts and
pineapples, shipping of the latter fruit 3,500
barrels weekly, by way of Key West, to all
pans of the world, in addition to 1 ading
from eighteen to twenty vessels yearly—
“three-masters”— which carry the fruit
from the shores of the keys direct to New
York.
The people of these kevs impressed me as
a singularly quiet and law-abiding class;
remote from civilization, they had con
tracted but few of the vices of their more
enlightened friends around Tamp i. Their
dwellings are of the simplest kind; their
clothing, when they need any, is of very
lijjht texture; their commu iicatiou with
Key IVest and the north is bv water only,
and Jacksonville, to some I spoke to, seemed
as far off as New York does to an Arizona
Apache. Key- \V T est impresses one as a world
bv itself; it has no interests whatever
with the state of Florida, and depends
entirelv upon New Orleans, Havana and
New York. Its complete isolation from
Florida will continue until the projected
railroad is built down the peninsula. The
Cubans who come over make exoeilent
citizens, and whatever troubles thoy have
are always among themselves. They num
ber about 6,000, but never seek to exclude
native Americans in local elections. The
better classes of them associate with the
Americans, and some families have inter
married. They have come to Key West to
stay. They have become property holders,
and a credit to their new country.
MEAT ONCE A WEEK.
Laws Which Make Food Very Dear to
German Peasants.
United States Consul Monaghan of Mann
heim has made au interesting report to the
state department, upon the prices of meat
in Germany, which shows the relations
borne by American material to the food
market of that country. He says: The
legislation passed to keep out foreign hogs
is said to have been based upon fears of im
ported diseased meats. This, however, is
by no means an article of faith in any part
of the empire, even the most credulous
must have a grain of salt with it. The iact
that Hungary, where Bavaria and parts of
south Germany for a long series of yea:s
bought their supply of bleats, was, before the
law went into effect, subjected to the
severest and most conscientiously strict
supervision and inspection, goes to prove
the political economic rather than sanitary
protective character of the law. For so
strict was Hungary’s supervision that no
unhealthy meat over came on to or left the
market for export. Ever since the law
went into effect the press has never cea-ed
to complain of its evil effects to a large
number of the empire’s population. None
but the large landholders and agrarian
population have been benefited. The very
considerable duty on cattle, $5 per capita
for beef and $l5O for hogs, adaed to
enormous rates of so:, river and land
freights, has practically rendered importa
tion impossible, to say nothing of certaiu
laws the effect of which is to exclude en
tirely. At first, owing to causes connected
with the production of fodder, no direct
evil seemed to result from the new laws, but
by degrees the agrarian population, espe
cially the large land owners, saw their
chance and made the most of it. Since
that time meat lias gone up, and, sad to say,
grain also; and Ausina, for generations tho
largest source of Germany’s supply,dropped
in her record of sales from 61,800,000 florins
to 13,700,000, almost 500 per cent. The
United States, in many respects eminently
fitted to feed the world with meats and
grain, was shut out entirely. Of au rse.
the prices went up naturally and were
in places forced up. The result was
felt all over the empire, in Hamburg
and Berlin, in Mannheim and Munich. A
pair of ste?rs increased 175 marks in price
and live beef 15 aud 20 pfennig, or 5 cen s
a hundred pounds. Of course, the cattle
raisers gained by and praised while they in
dorsed the new laws; but how about the
millions who find meat too dear and bread
going up because of the same kind of leg
islation? Their only resort will be to the
field fruits, potatoes and various vegetablesj
.“By all means protect," say city people,
'working men, “but carefully, wisely
and safely.” Were it not for
excessive duties and prohibition
me it could be brought in from
foreign states and sold in competition with
the home product; and the cheap fodder of
this aud later years should be enough ad
vantage to aid home producers to compete.
But no! safe in the maintainance of the
principle of exclusion, no matter how thin
the mask or hollow the covering by which
the real ciuse is disguised, the large lauded
proprietors go on forcing up and keeping up
prices, never thinking of the millions of
toilers eating moat once a week now, who,
under other and happier circumstances, that
is, a prevalence of cheaper prices, would eat
it twice or thrice a week.”
Anguish Unspeakable
Is endured by the victims of inflammatory
rheumatism, and any form of the disease may
reach that agonizing phase or attack the heart
and cause death. Unhappily they who fe.-l its
preliminary twinges seldom realize this Like
other posssibly dangerous maladies, rheuma
tlsin is often disregarded at the outset. Well
wlil it be for him if this brief notice shall serve
as a warning of future peril or pain to a reader
troubled with incipient rheumatism. The
proper sequel will be an instantaneous resort to
the great preventive depurent, Ilostetter's
Stomach Bitters, whose brevet of professional
commendation popular experience has con
firmed. There is no finer or more genial anti
dote to the virus of rheumatism in the system.
Botanic in its origin, it is free from the objec
tions attaching to depurent poisons liable to be
taken in more than the infinitesimal dose. The
Bitters conquers malaria, indigestions, liver and
kidney troubles.
