Gentlemen, last year l voted for Nc
Kinley and prosperity, but / was sucker,
and there were thousands like me in the
city. No more Mckinley prosperity for
me | tell you.
These were the words OF the assistant
secretary of the Weavers' union in Fall
River. Mass, at conference with the
manufacturers. There is hope for the
future when these and similar sentiments
tiEd open expression among the deluded
wOrkingmen in eastern states. The
World of the 10Th ult., contains a couple
OF columns Of the complaints OF the
striking mill hands at various manu-
featuring centers and every man OF them
identified their conditions with the legis-
lative errors OF the nation. One man
figured if that .even il all they had been
told about Bryan was true they would
be no worse off than they are at present
with the alternative OF idleness or So
cents TO s1.07 per day, with 10 per cent.
and network OF fines and contingencies
TO catch few OF even these few pennies.
Some Of the tales Of living among these
people are positively narrowing and they
viii find their way to the minds ofvoters
al over the country despite the roseate
pictures OF prosperity so blatantly pro-
claimed by administration organs

Spraying Fruit Trees.
To The DELTA INDEPENDENT.

To The DELTA INDEPENDENT.
Some few years ago the fruit growers
Of the Western Slope were practically
free from insect pests. 1 remember when
Judge FELTON, Of Canon City came 10
Grand Junction 10 attend a meeting OF
the State Horticultural society. He
brought with him some worm eaten sp-
pies to show what was troubling the
fruit growers OF his locality. but, he said,
you are not troubled in this way. 1t
was no doubt true then. but now how
changed is the condition. Red spider
many OF our pear trees and green aphis
our prune trees. The Goblin moth are
riddling our apples and the peach twig
borer our peaches. Where did they come
froms PROFESSIONALLY by importation
from Utah and California in fruit pack
ages and on nursery stock. There is no
escaping them. The very thing to do lis
TO tackle them in time. We failed TO do
this as did also the fruit growers Of Utah.
The consequence is that they are in
fair way to lose their fruit and their
reputation as regards soundnces. We at
Grand Junction are better OF because
we began earlier to fight these pests.
Our progress has been slow because we
have no; agreed or settled on the best
kinds OF spraying mixtures TO use and
the best time TO spray TO destroy the
eggs of the red spider. aphis, etc, and
the Goblin moth and peach twig borer.
Neither had we secured the best kind OF
a spray pump TO do the work most ef
fectiyely and with the least vexation.
Poor pumps have deferred many from
attempting TO spray at all. A union OF
effort is necessary to accompl ish anything
Now all is changed. Experience and
research and the invention of new and
effective spray pumps has made the
work sure and so much easier as 10 rob
spraying Of its vexations. Some fruit
growers in other localities in our state
have thought they were free from insect
pests. but many know that they are creep
ing in upon them at a rapid rate and
multiplying very fast. Now is the time
TO tackle them and the purpose OF this
article is to give our ncighboring frui,
growers the kind OF spraying mixture we
have found TO be the best; also the best
time to spray and the best pumps to &C.
cure TO do the work most effectively and
with the lcast annoyance. We find that
winter spraying in March with the sui
phur. lime and salt TO be almost the only
spraying we would need to do at all. il
all would do it about the same time. 1t

The Decrease in Tax Increases the
Business-Swear to Statements.

1t was said at the internal revenue
office yesterday that the export business
in tobacco for the fiscal year soon 10
close will show a gratifying increase
over last year. Large quantities of to-
bacco are being shipped from here TO
Cuba since the war is over. The ship
ments are larger and more regular than
they were before the war one reason
Is, that the duty on tobacco has been
reduced through the change of govern
mental control from So TO u cents per
pound.
The Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
has directed that notice be given to all
druggists and dealers in medicinal and
proprietary preparations that they will
be required TO make a sworn statement
OF all sales of such articles made by
them on and after July LIST without the
same being stamped when unable to pro-
cure the necessary revenue stamps:
also, they shall state the dates on which
the sales were made, the number of bot

value thereof Further, that unless said
sworn statement is made within thirty
