Fair average Is worth one dollar the pound, and thu demand Increases much faster than the production, which Is now 7,900,000 pounds per year In all parts jf the world, exclusive of California.

The people are beset on every side, plundered, oppressed, and despised, and all the while they are like the sleeping giant annoyed by Injects, and only need to awake to drive their oppressors back, and show that they are omnipotent, and they are In truth all powerful, for " the voice of the people Is the voice of Ood," as true now as hen it was thunder ed from the tribune in the capltol of ancient 1 tonic. The giant must awake, it must or ganize. All the world of corruption istsand politicians, and monopolists, have organized and it is by means of disciplined ell'orls ellbrls that they oppress tho people. I.et the agricul turists of the world organize and work together, and they can make laws and (each executives and courts to enforce them.
