our opinion the best that u large majority OF

the most accomplished pupils of the Female
College. While seated in her room the other
evening, as the sweet strains of "Ncurcr, My

hands of IL ski'lful player, were waited to her
ear through the open window, she pcnncd the
following imprOInptu apoStrOphe to that grand
tune, without any thought that the lines would
appear in print. The little slip of paper on
which the words were written was given to Il
college mate, and through the latter found its
way into your correspondents hands:

Daily Republican. [volume] ([Wilmington, Del.]) 1874-1890, 1885-03-11

The proceedings of the Democratic
caucus held last night would indicate
that all is not lovely in the Democratic
ranks, and il is just possible that the
whole thing will break out on Thursday
night when the City Council meets. OF
the twenty-three members of the City
Council, twelve Of them are Democrats
and of course it takes the votes of the
whole dozen to carry any partisan
measure Or to elect city officer. Mr.
Farrell SAY proper to absent him self
from the caucus. He may have been
de aimed by business or other matters
over which he had no control, but when
Mr.. Farrell is absent from Democratic
caucus his absence Is probably more no.
ticed than that of any other member,
and so long as the true causes OF his alb.
seUce are not known the nominee for
Street Commissioner must just feel a
little uneasy. To add to this feeling OF
doubt and uneasiness IL the fact that
Mr.. Abele walked out of the caucus be-
fore the nomination was made, not Civ
ing his reasons for doing so. Every
thing, however, may still be lovely and
Mr.. McCloskey may get the full vo'e OF
his party on the first ballot. Mr.. Me
@ oskey made very crediiable Stree,

Hypocrisy aud English Free Trade

To show the inconsistency of the
doctrine preached to other countries by
England We find among their fifty-three
dutiable articles, nine which are not
produced in that country, and in ar
ranging the duties according to the ad
vanced condition of manufactures q
protective discrimination is made in
favor OF home manufacturers. To-
bacco Is the most important article and
of this the United States sends them
the largest part Of their mption.
The duty on leaf tobacco is { wenty cents
less than on the loves: grade manu-
featured and fifty cents on the highest
,ades. GA manufactured tobacco the
duty is seventy cents apound or eighty
four cents II of less than ten per cent.
moisture. On manufactured tobacco
the duty is ninety-six cents and 10
cents for two kinds, and on snuff and
cigars from 100 cents TO 100 cents per
pound. Our exports OF leaf tobacco to
great Britain in 1880 were 30, 1896 $50
pounds, average valuation ten and
oine-tenth cents per pound duty at
least 10 cents or in the whole so, 507, :
36i, at the moderate rate Of seven hum
dred per cent. or more.
OF manufactured tobacco We sent
them the same year less than one-tifth
the value com pared to the leaf and not
one-tenth as much in weight probably.
That pretended free trade tariff or
over forty per cent. of the dutiable i'm
ports of Great Biisain, 80 discri mini tes
between manufactured and raw ma
terials by duties from twenty five to
forty i've per cent. higher on the first
than on the last As to give effective pro-
tection to her own manufacturers. This
pretence Of free trade appears all the
more absurd when we see that the
British Government levies duties on
the goods Of other countries-tea, coffee,
the tobacco Of the L nited 5 ates, etc. +,
when brought into thor porte, but asks
that those countries shall levy no duties
on her goods. 1, the boosted freedom Of
commercial intercourse of British free
traders Their leading statesmen
have often frank y declared that their
ohject was to get con rol Of the Ameri.
can market TO make a monopoly Of it.
L. is with that object in view that the
Golden club sends car loads Of free
trade pamphlets to this country
during every polit cll campaign to be
distributed among farmers aud work
tngmen.
