IT is certain that every Demo
crat is in favor of sound money,
but it must be acknowledged that
there is a wide difference among
Democrats the leaders of the par
ty, as well as the rank and file-as
to what is sound money. That
these differences ought in some
way to be wiped out, or at least
adjusted before the party enters an
other National campaign, will be
admitted by every Democrat with
out argument. Now, how do
individuals who have no desire to
fight each other usually adjust their
serious differences of opinion1 BY
argument showing each their errors
and convincing one or the other.
Well, that is just what the adj
minstration wants to do. 1t will
present its arguments as to what
sound money is, and will ask that
its opponents in the party do the
same, leaving it to the party to de
eide which side has the correct
idea.

that it is a disease or a fungus. l am
fully satisfied, from practical experience,
that this is a mistaken view, and that il
is a bug, which gets into the blossom and
afterward attacks the limb and body or
the tree. l have seen the insect and his
eggs, under a microscope. 1t is so eX-
tremely small that it is very difficult to
see him with the naked eye, and is never
found on out side, but always under, the
bark. Under the microscope it looks
white though to the naked eye it is
gray and is shaped very much like a
common roach. 1t hops like tiea-very
swiftly.

be destroyed by an insect, and the people
should arouse themselves to find a remedy

PARTICULARLY the Kieffers, / have saved
most of the fruit. William Letford.
