To regulate the bearing of apple
trees ID subject Of discussion, but
no suggestion in regard to it has ever
been made practical except the one
which dictates careful attendance and
the moderate annual pruning Of the
trees, with high fertilization of the
soil. All the famous productive ap-
pie trees on record have stood in rich
soil, moist, but not wet. Careful
pruning, manuring and mulching
will as nearly as possible, secure good
annual crops from apple trees Of any
variety worthy of being cultivated at
all.

WHAT Is THE REMEDY

What change, since one week ag0 Then
the land was glad with prosperity and bright
hope. Now Industry stands aghast, and Com
merce staggers, and no man can tell what
day may bring forth, for the coolest men in
the financial world question whether help will
come in time to prevent the wild cOnnagration
of panic. A tremendous responsibility rests
upon the men who advised and who voted for
the measure which has caused this change.
True, it was blunder. But men who meddle
with the business interests and the honor of n
great Nation are criminals if they bunder.
1t is their duty to know before they act.
Ignorance cannot here be given as an excuse.
Every man who had to do with this Three
Per Cent bill was fully and infinitely warned
of the danger by The TRIBUNE. When the
fifth section was offered by Mr.. Carlisle. its
real nature and probable effects were imme-
diately shown. Ignorant Congressman and
stupid business men scOlfed at the idea that
any trouble could come. Even as late as one
week ago, when the bill passed the Senate.
men who ought to know better were trying TO
make everybody believe that q" the banks might
""makealittle fuss, but itwOuld come to nothing;
"the bonds would be taken at once, and n vast
lunatlOn WOuu Whkc everybody happy"
Blind leaders of the blind ! In the world of
finance, two and two do not make six, and
fixed laws cannot be delied with safely.
even by q Democratic Congress and the
strongest combination of capitalists ever
formed in this country. ALI the world knows
now that the warning was wise, that the dan
ger was real and near, and that something
must be done soon, or great disaster will
come.
What can be done2 To that practical ques-
ton every man who has anything to lose, or
any public influence to exert, ought to turn at
once. On Monday, quick removal of taxes on

ical strategy. The politicians engaged III IL
have accurately observed the tides and cur
rents of our politics, and remarked that the
second year of an Administration Is
pretty sure to bring a popular reac-
ton, if any reasonable pretext can DC
afforded for it, They see, or think they see
that the years of hard times following imam
cial panic will be very likely to weaken the
hold of the party in power upon popular IaVor'
and perhaps create a revUlsiOn that Will give
them q fresh start, and perhaps the control Oh
Congress. The continued prosperity OF the
country is their weakness; hard times would
be a eodsend TO them. Now, as always they
nut party before country, and are not only
willing but anxious that the country should
suffer in order that the party may profit by IT,
Hence the zeal manifested for the present
Funding bill, and the persisteHcy with whlcn
it is urged as a party measure. we 10 nOO
need to wait for disclosure of their motives.
The record of the party interprets them be-
TOnd question. Nor do we deny that the
game is a cunning one and adrOitly played.
Now, as on several previous occasions, some
Repnblicans are embarrassed by the situation
in which their opponents seem to have
driven them, and are not enurely
clear as to the wisest policy to be
pursued Let us remind them that this
is not the first time their opponents have under
taken to put them in a false light before the
people, in the belief that the people were
easily imposed upon and could not see through
their trickery. 1t is the habit of THE TRIBUNE
tn trust to the intelligence and honesty of the
people. They have not failed us hitherto,
and will not now. The thing for Republicans
TO do is to act wisely in the light Of to-day in
ntter contempt of the arts by which their OPP
moments are PLANNING to hoodwinll and humbug
the people two years hence.
