lumber and free salt might be expected
to arouse hostility in Michigan, II any

We do moi propose to deal with these
conditions by merely attempting to satisfy
the people OF the truth of abstract the0-
lies, nor by alone urging their assent to
political doctrine. We present to them
the propositions that they are unjustly
treGtsd in the extent OF present Federal
taxation that IS result condition Of
extreme danger exists, and that it Is for
them to demand remedy, and that dc.
fenceand safety promised in the guarantees
az their free government, We believe that
the same means which are adopted to re-
iieye the treasury OF its present sur
plus and prevent its recurrence should
cheaper TO our people the cost Of supply
ing their daily wants. Both Of these OBJ
jeets we seek in part to gain by reducing
the present tsrid rates upon The necesHa-

Thursday the douhters threw up the
sponge. The Wilmington agricultural
fair is triumphant success. Anything
that could draw crowd of from $4,000
to 10000 people under forbidding,
stormy sky, and in the teeth of raw,
bleak, Indictment winds, such as prevailed
yesterday, mast be success. With such
unfavorable weather conditions, the at
tendance was simply wonderful. 1t re-
called Senator Vanoe's ringing greeting:
ave are all here land the State Of Della
ware Is here" From Governor Biggs
down, the Office holders, candidates and
politicians were out in force. From
Naaman's Creek to Indian River, the
farmers and the jewellers in city and
town were there. From Philadelphia,
Reading, Lancaster and Wilmington the
sengerbunds came with their trained
voices to make melody. It was, indeed,
big day.
Looking over this assemblage, the
grand stand packed with humanity from
bottom to top, the overflow stand as full
as it could be jammed, the ground within
their Enclosure and around the judges
stand swarming with people, the exhibit
tion buildings o perfect crush, and
thousands moving hi,her and thither out
ide, Mr.. Lobdell called the attention Of
the writer to what this meant to the man
ufacturera and business interests OF Will
mington. Whatever brings visitors to
our city by the thousands, to inspect the
products of our farms, our orchards, our
gardens, our stables, our workshops,
brings with them promise of increased
trade and extending markets for all we
make or raise. Such fair Is q mammoth
advertisement for Wilmington. The
crowd of Thursday is an earnest Of
what it can do TO make us better known
among our neighbors of three or -four
states. This year is but beginning
"Give us takers for $12 900 more stock, u
said Mr.. Lobdell, "and next season VIC
will double the capacity of our main OK
hibition building, we will put up Other
exhibition buildings and we will put UP
machinery hall, in which to have ex-
hibiis OF varied kinds of machinery ii
actual running, operating condition; and
we will hold two weeks exhibition, ont
week of agricultural and general sxhihiti
and track performances, and an extri
week of machinery and art exhibits.
These were not precisely Mr.. Lobdelp
words, but they convey the main idea, l
is good one and there is the energy an
public spirit here to cnrry ii through.

These words are from paper whose
editor, according to tho July number of

ufdcturer Of Philadelphia, is member
Of the Golden Club. Think of man
writing this way because he Is o
slave to his party instead of faithful to
his convictions. Or perhaps he tries to
ease his conscience by getting somebody
else to write them for him. Anyway in
the face of the fact that to-day in spite OF
the tariff we are exporting millions OF dol
lars worth Of manufactured goods, es-
peoially those goods whose raw materials
are free, it is the trashiest Of trash. Think
also Of political party allowing itself to
bsfoSeed into position where 1t is obliged
to maintain that high prices for the nec'
essaries of life is good and not an evil.

not both he andthe manufacturer see that

the demand and consequently the product

are CLOCKS in every household, and yet IL

Valentine d Co., varnish manufacturers,
have, according to tho New York Herald,
gone into the small and mean business OF
putting up their workmen's monthly
wages in campaign envelopes furnished
by Republican committee. We do not
know II New York has law forbidding
such methods, but II not It ought to have.
Imported varnish pays duty OF 40 per
cent, and is not touched by the Mills bill.
What more do the Valentines wantp We
believe that with imported yarnish the
question is not one Of price but Of
quality. II used to be so in the
carriage making trade and, we presume,
Ia still 30. Through some popularity Of
manufacture or extra care In the selection
of Ingredients the finishing varnishes
made by Mobiles d Hoar of London, were
universally recognized by the trade as
unmatchable and indispensable, and were
found in the paint shop Of almost every
carriage factory in the land, even when,
as at one time during the war, they cost
S6.25 per gallon In gold with gold
at a premium of 90 rs. The manu-
iacturer who aspired to do work at all
ereditahle simply had to have Mobiles &
Hears fnishiug varnish, let 1t cost what
II might. Since then American makers,
Valentine Il 90. among them, have pro-
duced creditable limitations OF this Eng
lish yarnish, but the importations indicate
that they have not yet succeeded to the
satisfaction of the carriage making trade
in duplicating it. But they certainly have
no room to complain of not having
enough projections" neither can they
reasonably expect to improve their prod
uct in their customers estimation by sucf
improper influencing, such implied in
timidation, of their workingmen as TIT
