A Market is Needed,

A market is need for the surplus produc-
door tn u.s. in South America.
But we cannot reach that market because
we have not the steamships necessary. Mill
ious and millions in value of manufactured
goods are stored up in New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and Boston, and the owners Of
those goods, our merchants, are looking
with blanched faces tow IDS South America
where the mail lxet exists land SO they will
continue to idly gaze uutil American lines of
steamers load up those goods for South
American ports
the export trade Of South America foots up
annually over $lO0, 900 of that large
sum, Europe gets 1925, 100000 every year,
and doubles her interest in that trade, by
paying for what she gets from Brazil and
Chile and Peru in her own manufactured
goods, thus relieving her markets of the pro-
ducts Of her mills and factories.
The greater share of that trade should be-
long to this country. How that money and
exchange Of goods would set our mills and
factories Cumming y Yet this is our right.
full tlade, we are the nearest neghbors to
those countries, nearer by thousands ofmles
than England. Yet sle gets the lions share
of South American traffic. The reason is
thar she has built up a road to those coun.
tries, bridging the Atlantic by innumcvable
| lines Of large traffic steamers.
What have we doue? What are we doing
| 1t was stated by Representative Dunn, OF
Arkansas, in the House Saturday last g.
"Your home market is insufficient. Des-
troy our commerce with other nations, strike
down our exports by high taxation, making
exports impossible, aud perhaps one fifth, at
least more than ten per cent, probably
twenty per cent, Of the present employment
for American labor ceases to exist"
So it may be perceived that the question
of market abroad has most cogeut and
direct bearing upon the daily wage of the
American laborer skilled or unskilled

department of wage workers. Not only this,
but the morocco strike has produced pro
found distrust all manufacturing Industries,
and general business is to-day stagnated iu
this city as it has not been before during the
past two decades.
The cold figures which show what losses
have been inflicted upon the country by the
late labor troubles are anything but inspir-
ing.
II anbody can tell what has been gained
by the laboring men as an offset to these
enormous losses there is good oppor unity
and a loud call for them to step to the front
and let their clarion voices be head. To an
ordinary observer it would seem that what
was labor's loss has been nobody's gain

What you Hurrah'd For!

Four years ago the Democrats OF this
State, engineered by their fellows of New
Castle County yelled themselves hoarse in
order that Chas. E. Stockley might get a
boost into the gubernatorial chair.
The lusty yelling of that occasion was en-
tirely successful and the voters felt gratified
over what they supposed had been accom-
plished by themselves.
The question now is, what were they
shouting their throats hoarse for at that
time! They certainly did not know then.
Perhaps they are little wiser in this year
of grace 1886!
The "Coney Island Deal' is the key to it
all. On another page of this issue will be
found that pretty story about as cool and
scandalous and unique piece of playing
with the peoples vote as ever was revealed
in this State.
AS may be seen by reference to this most
circumstantial tale the present adminstra.

We're the plntters who laid out this conspira.
cy to palm off upon the credulity of Della
ware voters an entail of succession and con
tinuous place-holding in the fattGst offices il

How long will it be before the people 0
Wilmington will awaken to the fact tha
they are the suhservient dupes, serfs anC
slaves to handful of pot-house politician,
who have constituted themselves Delaware

for an indefinite lease Of power.

| The opponents Of the appropriation plac,
themselves upon the lower grade of argu
ment, Of asserting that the steamship Com
panies do not need the aid because their di
rectors are rich men, or argue that the mon
| ey will find its way into other than the pock
cts of the workingmen What a small
argument How pusillanimous How
lamentably shortsightedl The advocates
Of the amendment stand upon higher, clear.
er ground. Thty see, as does Mr.. Lore, that
we can only reach foreign markets, the
South American for instance, by chips. That
this appropriation will give encouragement
in that direction. That the acquisition OF
two or three hundred million dollars worth
of annual trade with our neighbors of South
America is well paid for even in riskiug the
niggardly compensation to our American
lines of ne-twohundredth part of what
European lines pay for their mail service.
that the quitting out of this country that
much in amount of our over produce will
relieve our factories and mills to that extent,
will set them at work for new production
and will change the balance of trade of
$40, 900, 600 in gold which is annually against
us for our small share of $75, 900, 900 the
total of what we get from South America
per year as against Europe's 1926, ,0000 900.
But all this is what Senator Gray should
have considered. His vote would then have
had direct aid in bringing work to the
mechanics, skilled laborers and laborers of
Wilmington.
These are points that the Hon. Chas. B.
Lore has considered, thereby manfully fol-
lowing the dictates of unanswerable logic,
of patriotic inspiration, and most laudable
solicituds for tie welfare of the working
man combined inseparalby with the needs
of the employer, the manufacturer, and by
inevitable inter connection that of the agri-
cuturist also.
His position upon this amendment question
as well as the live and energetic personal
interest he has shown in the question
throughout the entire length of its almost
interminable debate rebounds to his credit
and will never be forgotten by every grade

OIeOnlargarine.

1t is said 50 per cent of the butter we eat
is oleomargarine. 1t said too that good
oleomargarine is equal to ordinary butter.
The advocates of this comparatively new
product assert also that the best judges of
butter cannot distinguish between good sam
piles of the two.
Then the question arises why do its advo-
Gates fight so bitterly against the raquest
commonly made that those who sell oleo-
margarine have their commodity labelled as
such. 1t appears oleomargarine sellers siren
uously object to do this. The implication
of course is that the dealers in this new pro-
duct have no positive objection to the house.
keeper buying it for butter.
Now when the customer asks for butter,
garine instead, telling him that the article is
butter, there is an imposition practiced.
Under this guise these new goods come under
the head of adulteration. Were the oleo-
margarine branded as such no adulteration
could be implied or asserted in regard to its
sale.
Now the present agitation in regard to
this commodity is precisely in this direction.
The matter is being taken up by Congress-
and with the probable result that new pro
duct will have to be labeled wherever expos
ed for sale, either retail or wholesale.
The industry has grown to remark able
extent, and the facility with which it may,
through dishonest dealers, be imposed upon
the public as butter is evidenced in the fact
that the genuine butter trade of the State of
New York for export purposes has almost
been extinguished. The dairymen in that
State are in despair. Somewhat similar re-
ports are heard from other parts of the
country.
The Hon. Chas. B. Lore states that he has
received numerous petitions in favor of Con
gress taking some action in the direction of
compelling parties selling those goods to
label them as oleomargarine. On the other
hand be has received request from but one
party, a Chicago manu- ufacturer of the article,
asking that lie oppose such legislation.

Still Striking.

Nine weeks ago by the encouragement of
irresponsible parties strike among the mo.
rocco workers was ordered. Men by the
scores and men by the hundred, like pror
dumb dtaeu cattle, threw down the accou-
tremeuts of their trade and voluntarily went
forta to life of idleness.
Hundreds of these men admit that they do
not really know why they went out from
their accustomed places, but they were or
dered out and they supposed that it was the
proper thing to do to 80 out, and out they
weur--and out they still are.
The cold facts attending this strike is that
in actual hgnres.s90, 600, has leen lost to that

TWO CENTS.
NV L6ht Love.

There was star, old legends say, that shone
From out of Eastern skies on one dark
night,
Which for three days, with strange and
brilliant light
Illumined all the world, and then was gone.*
Such is my dear lost love to me. Oh, none
Can know but with how much beauty
bright
She first beamed on me, setting true and
right
My soul, discordant with the worlds sad
tone.
She stayed scarce long enough to let me
know
Whether she was Of heaven or earth the
bloom
But mid her sweet resplendence vanished SO
That now, like blind man in a tomb
Void and of awful space, a-wandering go,
Pursuing shapes of her in taunting gloom.
*There as a star discovered by Tycho
Brahe, who lived from 1916 to 1901, which
appeared suddenly in the heavens, attained
a brilliancy surprising tina. of Jupiter, then
as suddenly disappeared and has never been
seen since.

Pierson VS.. the Etna.

Whatever may be the issue of this case it
is too early yet to determine, but the conclu-
sion at this stage of it is, irresistible that
there is deeply concocted plot on the part
of the Etna Insurance Co., to evade the pay
ment of its apparently just liabilities.
A brief summary of the facts are shat a
foreign Insurance Co., with an imported
lawyer has come into the courts of Della
ware and with the agency of detectives
schooled in all the dark and dubious devices
known to the detective art supplemented
and assisted by the burning hatred of Geo
W. Pierson and Mrs. Martha Holladay
against their brother William II. Pierson, is
attempting to evade its legitimate RESPONSE
blities.
George W. Pierson was forced to admit
that be was not only privy but that he also
was partner to the crookedness which
charged against his brother William,
although he, (George) essayed spasm Of
virtuous innoceDcy.
George W. Pierson admits that he was
asked to retire from the partnership of Pier
son Brothers by William H. and that tha
said William II. offered him George a fair
consideration for his retirement.
1t is bard to understand how any brother
and sister can contain SO much pent up
wrath against brother as was manifested
on the part of George w. Pierson and Mrs,
Martha Holladay against their brother VIM.
II. Pierson.
The average life insurance CO., would
rather hang man than pay its own Just
policies and its looks as though the Etna
Insurance Co., would rather traduce, vilfy
and ruin mans reputation than pay its
losses
This trial forcby recalls tle fact that In
suIance Companies have neither souls to
save nor convenient place to kick.
The case absorbing the attention OF the
court during the past week, known as tire
Pierson case, developed two remarkable fea-
lures. One was the incongruity of George w.
Piclson in using the plain, or friends Ian
guage, in expressing an adherence Of his
brother
The soft and bland idioms Of the quaker
language seem at utter variance with the
deep seated hatred which was so thinly gused
in tile part of Mr. G. W. Pierson.
"Thou" and 'thee' are so suggestive Of
inuocency and brothelly affection that more
than one in the court room, on last Thursday,
was semi idazed at the startling inconsis-
tencies of the expressions.
One other point clearly outlined by the
trial is, that Of all feuds family feuds are
the most terrible. Matters of no significance
whatsoever in the family circle are, when
brought to public gaze, SO magnitied and SO
distorted as to lose their former indent ity.
II families have soled linen TO wash, bet
ter by far for all concerned, to have said lin
en- washed in privacy that to haunt their. SO
often imaginary, grievances to the public
gaze.

An Independent Candidate.

Mr.. William H. McKaig, having been Sc
licited to enter the contest for the city Trea-
SUI ership as an independent candidate, has
consented and his candidacy has been for
mally announced during the past week
It is argued that the present incumbent of
the Treasurer's office is rather negative
quantity than otherwise and there is no dis
guising the fact that the methods employed
in effecting tie democratic nomination has
created an apathy in the democratic ranks
which must bear its fruits on election day.
Between the devil aud the deep sea It is
safer to take to the mountains and in this
case Mr.. McKaig is considered the haven for
the disaffected of either party. g..
Mr.. McKaig is full fedged Wilmington
ian having been born in the 7th Ward and
ever slnce fesluent Oh salu wars ne is
wood worker at the Harlan & Holliugsworth
shops, and very comfortable home is the
reward of his industry temperance and fIu-
gality.
1t is noticeable fact that the party har-
ness is but lightly worn in these days and an
honest election will show surprisingly large
independent vote
