trample their rights in the dust. These
forces must be confronted with uni
ted Democracy and overthrown in the
name of liberty and humanity.
The Democratic tide is setting in to-
ward Washington, and upon every
white crested wave is written the word
Victory Let every honest, earnest
Democrat listen, and he viii hear the
wild waves calling for union, for enthu-
siasm, and above all, for an Organiza-
ton of the scattered and shattered le-
gions of Democracy into an aggressive.
invincible and irresistible army of the
people, for the defense of all the sacred
principles consecrated upon fields Of
death and glory, by the men who laid
the foundations of this republic and
dedicated the American continent to
the proposition that all men are born
equal with equal and inalienable
rights.
Every precinct committeeman should
consider it an honor to be part of an
organization with such an exalted pur-
pose. They should consider it privi-
lege to contribute a mite Of their time
and means toward sustaining and ex-
tending the precinct organization to
every county in every State of the
Union. We want each representative
who has stood so nobly by The Work
ing Democracy, from the first, to know
that the Democratic National Commit
tee appreciates their work and sacri-
fee sor this cause Its success rests
with them. Each precinct representa-
tive is requested to respond promptly
to the call for July dues, as an evidence
of their devotion to the principles of
Democracy. The Congressional cleo
lions will be held next year, and the
organization expects to be of great SER
vice in capturing as many seats from
the enemy as possible. The tariff issue
bids fair to split the g. o. p. in twain.
The element that has always been pro-
tectionists for the dollars sake realize
that we must have free trade, or be
shut out of the markets of the world,
by retaliatory tariffs. Russia has al
ready declared war and other nations
are preparing to follow suit. The pro-
tectionists for revenue only" will be-
come free traders, while those who
made protection matter of principle
will stick to it to the bitter end. Events
have demonstrated the soundness of the
Democratic doctrine of open markets,
and victory Is at our doors. The party
the hour, and it deserves and will re-
ceive the support of all who love pa
triotism above pelf, and believe in the
equal rights of manufacturing Democ-

Pasturing in Sprayed Orchards


The statement was recently made in
an agricultural paper that several cases
of swinekilling by pasturing in spray
ed orchards were on record. There is
certainly some mistake about this, for
the matter has been repeatedly tested,
and it has been found that it would re-
quire the consumption of nearly half a
ton of pasture by an animal for it to
obtain sufficient poison from under
sprayed trees to injure it. Moreover,
swine of all animals are the least af.

Green Pea I,ouse.


The Department of Agriculture has
issued a report on the rayages of the
green pea louise, giving warning that
this insect, one of the most important
of those which have ravaged the crops
of the country during the last two sea-
sons, will widen it's range geographl
cally and increase the amount of de-
struction.
Since its first appearance in May,
1899, at Bridges, Va, it's devastation
has steadily increased and it has now
become the cause of great loss in the
principal pea growing regions of the
United States. The estimated loss it
caused along the Atlantic coast States
in 1899 is estimated at 100000 and
in 1900 this had reached $4000,000 by
the middle of June. In some farms in
Maryland so per cent or more of the
crop was destroyed. Vigorous efforts
are making to control its spread and
the official bulletin gives a detailed de-
scription and means of fighting it.

Fruit Notes.


Handle fruit as if you were handling
eggs.
1t is the duty of every farmer to plant
fruit trees.
Cut out from the pear tree al limbs
which show blight
Most fruit growers say that clay soil
is the best for the pear,
Blackberries are a profitable berry to
raise for the market.
The best soil for the raspberry is a
rich, well-drained, deep soil.
The number of known species of
plums runs up into the hundreds.
Land that will produce grain and
vegetables will grow blackberries.
Plums should be thinned to about
six inches apart after the June drop.
Plant different kinds of fruit trees. so
as to be sure Of a crop of some kind.
Pears and plums are just as hardy as
apples and just as valuable to raise.
Strawberries will grow in every State
in the Union. Have you bed of them?
Fruit trees require to be cultivated
and pruned, but they will repay all
care and attention.
Training raspberries and blackberries
on trellises is recommended by some
growers.
When fruit has been thoroughly
thinned it attains the largest size. great
est beauty and deliciousness of flavor.

sleepless, he went again to the Burns
home and sought an interview with
Elsie. What was said in that inter-
view is not for prying ears-only this:
AS the door opened for his departure
the girl flung her arms about the
neck of Henry Wharton, who seemed
to have aged 20 years since the pre-
vious day, and said:
Forgive me! Oh, forgive me! I
was so weak, but papa wanted me to
so much and I had none to talk to.
Truly-truly I love you and honor
you-but not that way. Please for
give me. But I can't help it. I can't.
can't. I can't. I have no right to
let you go away this way, but you

help telling you the truth"

arms and staggered out into the
street.
