CENTRAL CALIFORNIA.
A Trip Through Sacramento Valley, tho
Land of Sunshine, Fruit anti Flowers.
[Special Correspondence.!
Sacramento, Jan. 13, 1888.
Here we are in Sacramento T'ity after a
visit to the surrounding country, under a
cloudless sky, the thermometer this day
standing at forty-eight degrees above zero,
merchants doing basinets with Open doors,
and people on the streets without wraps,
flowers blooming in the open air, oranges
and lemons on trees in the door-yards of
the cozy residences, a revelation to one
who arrives from the lrozen east and who
has dropped down in four hours from tlie
summit of the Sierras where the snow is
ten feet deep and the thermometer at 1 5
degrees below zero.
Sacramento City is the capital of the State,
is located oighly-threo miles nor boas; from
San Francisco at the confluence of the
American and Sacramento rivers,the hit .or a
navigable stream, and is tho railroad center
and the largest fruit slipping point in Cali
fornia. Fifty four trains from seven differ
ent directions arrive and depart daily, the
shops of the C. 1\ It. It. furn.shing employ
ment to two thousand mechanics and labor
era The city is built upon a level plain,
wide streets running at right angles, let
tered from A to Y north to south,and Ist to
.’> Ist from west to east.
Many fine build ngs adorn the residence
portion of the city, but many of the busi
ness structures with their wide awnings re
main as erected during tho mining era of
thirty years ago, presenting a novel appear
ance to us from the East Tae Soate Capitol
building is modeled after the Capitol at
Washington, and cost over two million dol
lars; is surrounded by grounds not excel od
in beauty of landscape gardening and semi
tropic il plants by any capital grounds in
the United States. The city boasts of tho
Crocker art gallery costing over four hun
dred thousand dollars, donated to the city
by Mrs. E. B. Crocker, said gallery contain
ing a large collection of choice statuary and
paintings, in which is in active opera ion
an art school Tuis gallery, second to none
in the United States, will amply repay the
tourist who may vis.t it
There are many other line buildings,
among which are tho now Catholic cathe
dral, Masonic and Odd Fellows’ temples,
different churches, school buildings, and
two elegant theaters, numerous hotels and
business s ructures. The city contains
about 30,000 population, anl has a large
wholesale trr.de, one store having 2‘_’3 em
ployes. The city is well lighted by two
electric light and one gas company. The
State fairs are held hero in Sep ember each
year, the State Agricultural Society having
a large exposition building and miio race
track.
An exposition building adjoining the rail
road depo; is being erected, where a con
tinuous exhibit of the products of Central
California will be shown and printed infor
mation relative to same distributed. The
area of Sacramento County is 620,000
acres. The laud is of three characters, foot
hill, plans and river bottom. The foot-hill
land is peculiarly adapted to the produc
tion of fruits ami grapes, 'j he plains lands
are mainly devoted to gra n raising, and no
failure of crops since the Amer can occupa
tion Of this country. In some portions of
the county fruPs, ’ berries and grapes arc
extensively produced on this class of land,
and from small farms of forty and sixty
acres considerable incomes are derived.
The best lands are those on the im
mediate banks of the rivers, and are de
voted to the production of fruits and
vegetabiea The income per acre is fab
ulous, enabling the owners of the river
bank orchards to own und manage a line of
steamers on which tneir produce is trans
ported to San Francisco markets or to
Sacramento City for shipment East Pre
vious to the last two years many of these
lands were held in largo tracts; now the
owners are subdividing them and offering
them for sale to actual settlers.
For many years California was regarded
as valueless save tor its mineral wealth,
but American enterprise lias developed
that its richness in the line of agriculture
and fruit raising i 3 inferior to none in the
world. From the cultivation of cereals the
step was taken successfully iu the line of
fruit and vine raising, and lastly in the
growing of oranges and lemons,consequent
ly the fruit-grower here has no waste time,
but can, if he will, utilize every dav In the
year. He may actually gather fruit of
«ome kind from his orchard every mouth
of the year, as the winter fruits embrace
oranges, lemons, pomegranates, olives and
persimmons, which ripen during the
nionths of November, December and Janu
ary. The spring fruits embracs strawberries,
raspberries, blackberries and cherries, and
are marketed in April, May and June. Tlie
summer fruits are apricots, plums, peaches,
figs, pears and nectarines, and are marketed
from June to October. The fail fruits are
apples, pears, grapes, quinces, prunes an!
poaches, to which may be added almonds,
walnuts and peanuts.' Hops, broom and
Egyptian corn, alfalfa, sweet potatoes, etc.
are all grown with profit. We who have
spent our lives east of the Rocky Mountains
can have no reasonable conception of a
country that apparently has but two sea
sons, an autumn und spring, as it is here in
the Fa cram en to valley. The rainfall com
mences about November 1 and ends in
May, but only at intervals during that time,
so that with few exceptions there is no
cause for suspension from out-door labor.
Plowing begins here as soon ui the rains
commence—in fact, many farmers who
summer-fallow their lands in April and

SHERMAN LINDER FIRE.
Senator Kenim, of West Virginia, iYlakos
a Vigorous Attack on the Ohio Dotna
gogue ami Dtoody-Sliirt Apostle—A
(Strong ltefenso of the President's Tariff-
Reform Policy.
Washington, Fob. 3,—Senator Kenna (W.
Va.) yesterday addressed the Senate on tho
President's tariff message ar.cl in reply to Sen
ator Sherman's speech on the same subjaot.
Senator Kenna characterized the Ohio Sena
tor's remarks as a challenge, and assumed,
from the latter's conspicuous position
In the councils of tho Republican parly,
that his speic’.t prrsentel tie square Issue
on which that party was prepared to stand.
After quoting from Senator Sherman’s speech
and from the works cf Jefferson (bear ng on
the question of public improvements), from
messages of Presidents Jaoltson and
Arthur, and from the reports of Sec
retar.es Folger, McCulloch and Manning,
ho summed up by saying that fSur suc
cessive Secretaries of the Treasury—two Re
publican and two Democratic —and two
successive Presidents —one a If publican and
the other a Democrat—had united in their con
demnation of a surplus revenue and in their
demand for a reduction in the public burdens.
And so it had been, li3 said, throughout tho
history of the Government.
There never liar, been a time when the un
necessary withdrawal from circulation of the
currency of the country and its hoarding in the
Treasury was justified or calmly contemplated.
The Senator from Ohic was the only person who
seemed to regard such a condition as a “good
fortune.” Such a condition had always created
apprehension, and hud sometimes contributed
to panic and financial disaster. And yet, when'
the President, inspired by the teachings of h ! s
country’s history, dared to ra sa liis voice to ar
rest impending calamity, the Senator from
Ohio would laugh to scorn the faithful admoni
tion and would hold up its author to the r.dicule
of the public. The Senator had forgotten
his own anxieties when, surrounded in both
houses of Congress by a majority of his own
party friends, in 188.’, ho exclaimed in the Sen
ate that there was no sentiment in the country
stronger than that Congress had neglected its
duty in noc repealing taxes that were obnox
ious and unnecessary, ar.d that he was deter
mined that that sin should not lie at his door.
The Senator from Ohio had assailed the Pres
ident for saying that there appeared to l>e no
just complaint of the taxes on spirits, tobacco
and beer, and had argued that “the traditions
in policy of our people are against internal
taxes.” In 1807 the Senator had declared that
spirits, wine and tobacco were “undoubt
edly the first objects that should be
taxed.’’ The Senator had denounced Con
gress for its failure to prov.de subsidies
for postal communication with South
American States, and had denounced the Pres
ident for his failure to approve the River and
Harbor bill. But the antagonism of the Presi
dent and his party to the subsid z ng of special
interests of classes needed no defense at liis
bands. Tho protended policy of protection had
driven American ships from the high seas, and
the Republican obstructive policy would not
allow them to be sailed under the American flag.
As to the River and Harbor bill, t lie Presi.
dent had already approved one appropriating
more than ?10,(/C0,000 the preceding year, and
had been called on an hour lefere Congress
adjourned to sign that of last ses
sion (appropriating 114,000,003) without
the opportunity to read it or to know
a line of its provisions. He had been
engaged in the very act of reading it m the
Capitoi when the hammers fell and Congress
adjourned. Faithfulness to public trust and a
judicious regard for the public interest had
stood alike as barriers to an act whose onus
»ion the Senator from Ohio condemned.
Turning to the subject of the tar. 17, Senator
Kenna said that the tariff laws in force now,
with some modifications adopted by peculiar
and questionable methods in 18''?, are substan
tially those known as tho “Morrill tarill of
1-67,” which the Senator from Ohio aided
largely iu passing. He denied that the large
increase of that period was intended for the
protection of labor or that reducing the duties
increased the revenue.
A duty may he sohigh as to prevent importa
tions and yield r.o revenue. The other extrema
Is free trade, which would likewise destroy the
income; and nobody asks for free tiude. The
true solution is the fair and just medium which
shall produce the revenues the country needs,
no more and no less, according to the plain
dictates of common honesty, as declared hf
the last Democratic platform in “a spirit of
fairness to all interests.”
Senator Kenna compared the present atti
tude of Senator Sherman with his former ut
terances on the subjrct o: the tariff and sniff
the latter had appealed to the labor of tii4r
country, and had declared that to list the bur
dens of the laboring man and to give him equal
opportunities m the great struggle of life would
bo to degrade him. To show the Senator’s
inconsistency on that point he referred
to tho law of July 4, 1864, passed un
der the special patronage of Senator
Sherman. allowing immigrat'on under
contract. This, he said, was the first forma;
and official introduction of foreign serfdom into
free America. In very recent years Senator
Sherman voted against a bill to restrict the
immigration of the ( h r.amu.i. He afterward
pleaded for a limitation of the term of the ex
elusion to live years, and finally, voting foi
the last bill, he insisted that every skilled la
borer in China should be excluded from its
operations.
It is undoubtedly true ihut while our excess
of import dut es has had a tendency to bu Id ip
and fosier monopolies and enrich the few at the
expense of tho many, it l.as had a 1 Ice tendency
to invoke free competition to labor and reduce
the work ng-men to the minimum of compensa
tion. It has drawn a vast army from Europe, as
the Senator says, who enter into coinfection
with the labor they find employed when they
reach America and who enter into like compe
tition among themselves. Yet laboring men
are blandly told that they arc to bind them
selves, hand and foot, forever and forever, to a
system that gives them all the free trade and
competition, and to others, and the privileged
few. the monopoly and the p'ollt. He (Kenna)
was mistaken in the intell gence of American
labor—natural bora and naturalized— if il al
lowed that condition longer to exist.
The cry of the demagogue that the President
and his policy were aiming at the lessen rg
of a just reward of labor was a i indecent as it
was false. The system of taxation in this coun
try for the last twenty years had 1> en a stand
ing menace and a source of constant injury to
the laborer himself.
It might ns well be understood now as here
after that this movement for reform and the re
lief of i übl c burdens in which tiic President
had gallantly and manfully taken the lead
meant piact c-.il results The country was
aroused to the justice cl' its demands.
There was ample room for a redact on of the
existing taxes without violence to any interest.
The measure of duty which filled the difference
between the cost of production in the United
States and abroad—with cost of transportation
—was protection to labor and fa r eempetitbu
to the employer. The measure that went be
yond that was monopoly to the employer and
unfair competition to labor.
The Democratic party had never been tho
enemy of labor. Maintaining tho ancient doc
trine of home rule, special privileges to none,
ar.d equality before the law, it had ever been,
as it ever would be, the safest guardian of the
poor and the humb'e. Labor would find under
its control of the Government a fa r and a se
curer and a better reward, but monopoly forti
fied and intrenched behind twenty years and
more of Republican exaction and misrule would
have to go. Its citadCi would he stoimcd, ar.d
in this Congress.
In conclusion Senator Kenna said the debate
on the message had been j rccipitated iu a man
ner calculated to alarm and terrify the coun
try, but the country had long been preparing
for the conflict.and was ready for the fray. In
his opinion the great masses of the people
would indorse and su; oort the struggle for their
right and for the relici cf their ban duvn.

—A precious stone of much interest
is an opaque white hydrophane discov
ered in Colorado. The finder has
named it “magic stone,” because, as
usual with this mineral, it possesses
the property of becoming absolutely
transparent if wader is dropped slowly
or it from one to three minutes. It is
so porous that it will absorb its own
weight of water. It quickly recovers
its opacity. The finder suggests that
the stone be used for seals, rings and
scarf-pins, as by reason of its opacity
it would completely conceal portraits,
mottoes or mementoes, which could be
brought to view when desired bv the

A “ Put and Call* 99
This is a funny phrase to the uninitiated,
but all tho brokers understand it They
use it when a person gives a certain per
cent, for tho option of buying or selling
stock on a fixed day, at a price stated on
the day tho option is given. It is often a
serious operation to tlic dealer, but there is
a more serious “put and call” than this:
when you are “put” to bed with a severe
cold and your friends “call” a physician.
Avoid all this by keeping in the house Dr.

the worst cough, whether acute, lingering,
or chronic. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of

Catarrh is not simply an inconvenience,

neglect its warning; it brings deadly evils
in its train. Before it is too late, use Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It reaches the
seat of the ailment, and’ is the onlv thing
that will. You may dose yourself with

(Jurny stioo tion to the complete cure of a most nggra
nnLUmßllom. vated case of salt-rheum, by the use of your
‘ Goldt*n Medical Discovery.’ .An elderly‘lady
relative of mine had been a great sufferer from ealt-rhcum for
upwards of forty years. The disease was most, rlistn ring in her
hands, pausing the skin to crack open on the inside of the fingers
at the joints and between the lingers. She was obliged to protect
the raw places by means of adhesive piasters, salves, ointments and
bandages, and during the winter months had to havi her hands
dressed daily. The pain was quite severe at times and her general
health was badly affected, paving the way for other diseases to
creep in. Catarrh ami rheumatism caused a great d<'al of suffering
in addition to the salt-rheum. She had used faithfully, and with
the most commendable perseverance, all tho remedies prescribed
by her physicians, but without obtaining relief. She afterwards
began treating herself by drinking teas made front blood-purify
ing roots and herbs. She continued this for several years but de
rived no benefit. Finally, about ten years ago, I chanced to read
one of Dr. Pierce’s small pamphlets setting forth the merits of liis
•Golden Medical Discovery ’ and other medicines. The name struck

med. itely recommended it to the old lady who hud been so long a
slide er front salt-rheCm. She commenced taking it at once, and
took ino bottle, but seemed to lie no better. Howevtr, 1 realized
that il would take time for any medicine to effect a change for tho
better, and encouraged her to continue. Bho then purchased a
half-a- ozen bottles, and before these had ail been ugeo she began
to notice an improvement. After taking about a dozen bottles she
was ent. -ely cured. Her hands were pet fectJ.v well ami as smooth
and hea ‘hy as a eiiild's. Her general health was also greatly
improved: the rheumatism entirely left her, and the catarrh was
almost cured, so that it ceased to be much annoyance. She lias
enjoyed excellent health front tiint day to this, and Ims had no
return of >itber salt-rheum or rheumatism. The ‘Discovery*
seems to hat e entirely eradicated the salt-rheum from her system.
