Hard to Please.

The Commoner
II is hard to please the republicans When Mr.
Bryan lectures, the administration organs ask.
why does Mr. Bryan talk on a boxoitiee basis ;"
why does he make a charge for the dissemina

tors receive from their readers compensation for
writing republican editorials, that republican Of
hcials receive from the public pay Tor republican
legislation and administration and that even
ministers must be supported by those 10 whom
they preach, does not soften their criticism. But
when Mr., Bryan makes public speeches at Bos
ton and at other places 10 the East paners Ite
the Denver Times rise up and ask, why Is he
dropping his golden words at the feet Of The
people without money and without priee?o Tbsre

The striking point brought out by this ANALYSTS
Is the decided preference Of the peach for the
element potassium, more than two-thirds OF the
mineral matter of the peach being potash or
potassium oxide. This preference is the more
striking when we consider the fact thar the land
on which these peaches were grown had received
no fertilizer, so that the trees had literally 10
root for their potash and extract it from the
clay OF the soil.
On talking with peach growers learn that the
weight OF crate Of peaches varies considerably
but that probably an average would be forty-fve
pounds myself weighed an empty crate and
found Il to weigh nearly eight pounds with its
baskets SO we would probably not be far wrong
