The great question Of the Present day
with us is whether the Hqaor trade il 70
conquer this nation Or be conquered by
il. That trade is thoroughly organized,
has unbounded capital at command, and
has It's agents SwArming everywhere.
The profits are 50 great that il will new
or lack apoIogists and defenders in the
press, in our Legislatures and ameng
the peeple, aud will only 60 out, like
he evil spirit Of old, upon compulsion,
and even then il will try to rend and
convulse society. Were all good men
opposed to il, it could be easily over
CT me. hnt there is class entitled to
that name who defend ani patronize
,h. liquor traffic in some Of its phases,
though condemning IL in those formA
which do not interfere with their own
indulgenets, and the better the men OF
this class in ether respects the more
power they have AZ supporters Of the
liquor traffic. This is the struggle for
life and death, in which there is no
neutral ground; every man and woman
must be either for or against the great
enemy of all rigbteousness-the traffic
in intoxicating drinka-Nsw York
Fitsess.
The above facts are undoubtedly
true. There is also, another class Of
men Who express their opinions freely
with enthusiasm and earnestness, and
Jet when it comes 10 the test, you find
very few who have the bravery to sus-
tain their opinions. They empty their
culver Of It's bitteIests arrows, but dc
not follow their declarations with act
ions worthy OF the opinions Expressed
and such a course Injuries, rsther than
assists tne cause of tempcrance.

della WARE is THE GAR Den STATE OF The

ton, from bay to bay, and from the
head to the foot of the Peninsula. Be.
sides the Delaware Railroad and its
branches, we have the Railroad and
Steam Ship Line of the Old Dominion
Company of New York, which in con-
nection with the Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia Railroad, controls more
than one hundred and fifty miles OF
railway stretching from Harrington, its
northern terminus, to Franklyn City,
Va, on Chincoteague Bay, its southern,
which concentrate at Lewes on Cape
Henlopen, and there connect with a
successful Steam Ship line to New York
city. 1t will be readily seen therefore,
that we have the best kind of facilities
for travel and transportation, without
mentioning the numerous packet and
steamboat lines that now run from a
hundred navigable streams penetrating
the Peninsula and emptying into the
bays which almost surround us.
There is no place in this country that
offers better opport unities for factories
of various kinds. Our own people are
largely agricultural and commercial and
we lack manufacturers. This should be
obviated and our citizens are especially |
desirOus that northern men, expert /
enced in the art of manufacturing, shall |
settle among us. Lumber and all /
kinds of wood materials are abundant 4
md cheap, and our people have the dis
position to give the preference to home

DESCRIPTION OF DELAWARE.

The State of Delaware is situated be-
tween the Delaware and Chesapeake
Bays, and is about one hundred miles in
length by thirty in breadth. On both
sides it is pierced by numerous small
bays, inlets and rivers, many of which
extend into the land until they almost
meet the head waters of others flowing
in the opposite direction. This renders
the whole peninsula not only well
watered and drained, but also affords
the means Of cheap water transportation
to the great commercial cities of New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore; two
OF which are within one hundred and all
within one hundred and fifty miles of the
Capital of the State. Besides these ad-
vantages there is still another in the
abundance Of the best fish and oysters
that the sea and its tributaries afford.
The climate is remarkably pleasant and
unusually healthy. Located between the
thirty-seventh and fortieth parallel of
latitude and SO nearly surrounded by
large bodies Of salt water with perfect
drainage, it is not strange that the eli
mate should be pleasant and the whole
section healthy. The summers are tenn
pered by tie balmy and moist sea
breezes that blow upon it from the South
and East, while the winters are so mild
that frequently we have but little snow
or ice. The change from northern
section to this Peninsula often cures dis
eases Of the throat and lungs that have
been contracted by the severity of the
northern winters. In this manner MANY
weak lungs have been relieved. sore
throats permanently cured and the ter
rible catarrh of cold climates entirely
aradicated. Here all kinds Of outdoor
work is carried on throughout the win !
ter, and rarely is it so severe as to keen
farmers or mechanics from their regular
outdoor occupations. The facilities for !
ravel and transportation are unusually !
EXCELLENT, and besides the two bays with
heir numerous navigable streams pene-
rating the interior, we have the Della G
Vare Railroad running the whole length a
I the State from Wilmington to Del I
nar. This road throughout its course q
laid upon the backbone" Of the !,
'eninsula, so that it is conveniently ac- 4
essible to all those who are not near to I,
upon navigable streams. Indeed, it y
lay be said to be accessible to all, eth q q
on its main track or by its numerous Il
ranches which extend in every direc. al

THE CANNING AND EVAPORATING
INDUSTRY.

Few persons are aware of the exten
of this business. The products find
market in every country of the globe
and embrace every variety of fruits
vegetables and meats that can be pre-
served in this way. The Gamers pack
asparagus, peas, lima beans, snap beans,
corn, tomatoes, okra, squash, and pump.
kin among vegetables; and apples, pears,
plums, peaches, cherries, raspberries,
whortleberries, and blackberries among
fruits. Of meats they pack roast beef
veal and lamb; of poultry, turkey, chick
ems, geese and ducks, besides soups and
buildings. To such perfection have
they brought the art that these articles
will keep for two years at least; and it
is done at such low cost that they can
be used by the poorest people without
being charged with extravaganza.
To give some idea of the extent of the
business, we would state that we could
name ten or twelve of these establish
ments in Lower Delaware whose aggre-
gate amount of packing will be at least
five million cans; and they are not more
than a tenth of the number engaged in
the business. Delaware produces at
least one-half of the total product Of the
business. Kent and Sussex counties, in
Delaware, with Milford as a centre, are
the great seats of the industry, which
employs thousands of hands in its vari-
Gus operations. Some of those engaged
in the business commenced in a very
humble way, and have made themselves
quite wealthy by it. We know of one
man who, eight or ten years ago, COM
menced by canning his goods in his
kitchen over common cook stove; to-
day he is worth at least $50, 600. Another
came from one Of the New England States ]
% Delaware as a tinsmith. He entered
he business, and is now worth not less
han $500, 900. In this business honesty
las better success than knavery, for it is
argely the reputation which man has t
or putting up frst-class goods that |
rings him large and quick sales and a /
uick profit. t
1t is curious to note how one business o

, The great product of this section after
wheat and corn, with butter, poultry and
vegetables for home use and tbe home
markets, is fruit. Peaches. pears. an
pies, ounces and all kinds of small fruifs
are grown and shipped to Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, Baltimore and
even Plttsburg, Cincinnati and Chicago.
Fast freight trains are arranged for this
purpose, and all the best markets of the
country are thus made accessible.
Much of the fruit is usually canned or
cured in the New Patent Evaporat-
ing Machines and this branch of the
business promises to be greatly extend
ed during the future. The evaporated
trult IS superior to any other cured fruit
and 1t is bringing large prices in the city
markets. This business has proved
highly remunerative so far and promises
well for the future.
