"In this industry during the last year the lemon growers of California have made on an average a profit of $530 per acre, with expenditures amounting to $3?0," said Senator Root. "I would not eliminate the lemon growers of California or any other American industry, but it Is a little too much for them to come here and ask an increase on duty when they are already making over 100 per cent" Senator Root, having referred to the Calfornia Fruit Growers' association, Mr. Flint asked if it was not an asso­ ciation of farmers. "It is not an incorporation of angels, and if It gets control of our market and you put up a barrier against the foreign lemon the white winged farm­ ers of the California Fruit Growers' association may yield to the tempta­ tion to get the highest prloe that they can for theiT product" The Increase was voted 43 to 28.

"I like the term pig better than hog because hog is sometimes applied to, different classes ot beings," retorted the Idaho senator. "I have understood," Baid Senator Tillman, "that the pig is a baby hog-- & squealing fellow that has to squeal sometimes when he can't get a teat" "I have no question about that whatever," said Senator Aldrlch. "I am not failing in my duty as a pro­ tectionist In making this change. At four cents a pound there is no danger of any large importations of bacon and ham in this country." SEEK BANKER-HORSE THIEF.
