I have heard in one paragraph of an address. a eulogy upon California. how the golden sunlight falls in drifting waves of powdered benefactiom and blessing upon the hills and valleys of the great Pacific State. how the stars smile as beneath them sweeps the majestic acreage of California. of how the dews fall with a peculiar gentleness upon the soil of that beloved and heavenblessed State. and of how her people. better than any other class of men or women on earth. represent the highest production of Almighty Gods handiwork. All this of California. and yet she is the universal pauper. She Is the one State which can compete in nothing. The genius of her sons falls prostrate before the productive capacity of pauper labor of all countries on earth. Her handiwork is inferior in the markets of the world to that which is produced by the dull fingers of The illiterate of other nations. Her fields refuse to produce the products of sunshine and of shower. and they bring forth only a sterile crop. which can not compete with the products of any other land on earth.
