Wilmington Letter.

This city has lost one ofits play-houscs,
the Academy IF Music. Although no
fire had been in the building for two
weeks, yet on Tuesday evening about
$3.50 O'Clock dense volumes of smoke
were discovered issuing from the place,
and an alarm given. Before the fire de-
partment could respond land they are
always quick to do SOY frey tongues of
flame were shooting heavenward. 1t
was hot fire. and thousands of people
watched the last act with awe. The
place is said to have been fully insured.
1t is very doubtful ifanother theatre will
be erected in its stead, and if there is, it
is to be hoped no more such finder boxes
!. c., wooden structures, will be allowed
by the city authorities. Had there been
play in progress what n death trap it
might have proven, as the means of es.
cape were so few.
Politics are all the rage just now. You
can see Mr.. So-and-so whispering to can
didate What's His name, about the
chances, and asking, in the event of his
election, if he cannot give him some
thing right handsome. The Tippecanoe
howlers and Harrison ranters are crying
themselves hoarse over what they hope
will be victory. The good old Demo-
Gratis are working quietly and earnestly,
and their reward will be ample. Thus
far no bad blood has been aroused over
the battle, but plenty of time yet re-
mains for broken heads and bloody noses.
The campaign has narrowed down to two
questions-Tarif Reform and Protection.
Fall trade has fairly opened, and our
stores present a busy appearance. Many
firms on Market street have enlarged and
improved their places of business. Old
stores are giving way to more commod-
ious quarters, and the changes being
made are pleasing in many ways.

The "Gyp" Game.

of Kennett township Pa, went to Will
mington few days ago to dispose of his
horse. He was in the little metropolis
of the Diamond State not long before he
found purchaser for his equine, who
proved sharper. Mr.. Gallery was stand
ing near the Western Hotel, when a
strange man approached him and asked
TO swap" horses. He said he did not
want to trade but would sell his horse.
The man, who was then unknown to
Gallery looked at his horse, but said it
was too small for his use, that he wanted
one for work in a cart at the same time
showing Gallery horse across the street
stating that he had offered the man $3.50
for it, but the man would not sell it to
him on account of his being dealer; but
ifGallery would trade for the horse, he
would buy it from him and the same
time saying if he would give him So he
would help him make trade. This Gal
lery agreed to, and his false confidence
friend succeeded without much delay to
effect the swap" and then disappeared.

GENERAL HAwLEY of Connecticut,
is a recent speech, insults every
manufacturer, mechanic and farmer
in America. He said "If there was
a Chinese wall 100 miles high around
our land we would not suffer an
hour are we compelled to send our
ships into every hole and corner of
the earth to hunt up a new Canaan2
We have a thousand Canaans of our
own In other words, he would
not have us export anything, but
waste what we could not consume.
If such were the case the country
would suffer to the extent of millions
of dollars, and this loss would fall
on every individual, directly or in
directly. Read what the New York
Journal Of Commerce has to say of the
shipments to foreign ports in the
year 1887: 1.-TWO million dollars
worth Of agricultural Implements
ten half million dollars worth of
living animals one hundred and
sixty-six millions of breadstuffs from
domestic fields five millions ofroots,
herbs and chemicals four and ahalf
millions of coal two millions of cop
per two hundred and six million
dollars worth of raw cotton fifteen
millions of manufactured cottons
four millions of fish five millions of |
fruit sixteen millions of domestic
iron goods ten millions of finished !
and manufactured leather; seven
millions of naval stores forty-Ao
millions of mineral oil two millions
of vegetable oil; ninety-three mil
lions ofprovisions thirteen millions
ofsugar, mostly refined twenty-nine
millions of tobacco twenty millions
of wood and wooden ware, making,
with other items of domestic pro-
duce, total value of seven hundred
and three million dollars in raw and
manufactured domestic products for
a single year sent away to foreign
ports"
And it is true, in spite of the
speakers sneer, that he who hunts
up a new Canaan with an open hand
for American produce and manufac-
lures is a better friend of the farmer,
the mechanic and the manufacturer
than a whole brood of such preten-
tious politicians if they could all be
boiled into single carcass.
The foregoing is a sample of the
wild speeches being made as an
argument in favor of protection.
God forbid that such protection
should fall on the American people.
