An English View.

(LOndon Iron and Coal Trades Revies0.)
The Mills bill was successfully car
ried through the House of Representa-
tives on Saturday by a majority of l64
votes against l49, nearly every mem-
Der Of the House being present and
recording his vote. The subject oftar-
iff reform has now been made party
question the Democrats, of whom Pres
ident Cleveland is the recognized chief,
identifying themselves with those fav-
oring reform, while tire Republicans
fiercely oppose the change, but want
to saddle the country with eveu more
rigorous charges. Our readers will
remember with what a storm Of indig-
nation from the Republicans, Presi-
dent Cleveland's speech on the ques-
tion Of tariffs was greeted at the begin
ming of the session; but it is evident
from tile events of the past few weeks
that the progress toward free trade in
the United States has been much
greater than was generally expected.
However much the manufacturing
interests may deny it. the fact is patent
that great progress has been made on
the road to absolute free trade,and par
ticularly has this been the case since
the date of the delivery of the Presi-
dents message. Our iron and steel
manufacturers look with very much
interest on the movement which is
now going on ION the other side" for
trade there so ultimately influences
our own.

AN OPEN LETTER.
TO THE TRAcK-MAsTERs OF THE cHEsA-
PEAKE PENINSULA RAILROADS.

TO THE TRAcK-MAsTERs OF THE cHEsA-
PEAKE PENINSULA RAILROADS.
You are doubtless aware that among the
people in whose society your lot is cast, there
is strong and embittered feeliugagainst tue
railroad company or companies who employ
YOU
Hitherto this telling has found vent only
in loud grubling denuncation, and the cleo
ton of members to the Legislatures, whose
nominations were dictated by the paid attor-
neys Of the railroads, or by paid politicians
working in their interests. We New York
ers have hitherto taken but little interest in
these matters, for we are too busily engaged
in bull" or bear fighting to pay much
attention to a small dog fight. We leave all
that wild excitement to the rustics of the
rural districts.
Last winter, however, we found that the
said rustics had hit upon plan for getting
square with the alleged robber railroad COM
pany,or companies, for their extortions, and
at the same time picking our pockets in a
very dexterous way by very sinister pro-
'You track-masters are very slack in your
supervision of the men in your employ and
allow them at night to leave kegs of spikes
at the side of the railroad or at the stations
not locked up, but open for anybody to help
themselves. Last winter some rustics
availed themselves of this privilege and tax
ing as many spikes as they needed, shipped
them to this market, each spike being envel-
oped by chicken. Now the people here
abouts think that they can buy spikes
cheaper than fifteen or eighteen cents
pound, and can not see the necessity Of
wrapping each spike up in chicken when
straw paper would make a more suitable
wrapper, The old roosters and hens of the
Peninsula are hard enough, tough enough,
and dry enough, mercy knows and stuhing
them with iron spikes does not improve
them.
do not know how it is with the tender
chickens, they all go to Philadelphia COM
mission men who, am told ,repack and ship
them TO this market as Bucks county chick
ems. can hardly believe this for am cred
IDLY informed that all the descendants of
VIM. Penn, whether born starboard or lar
board, never tell lies. Nevertheless, have
heard wicked people say that they can cheat
like the King of Sheol.
Or it may be that the market for iron being
dull, those terrible oppressors, the Pennsyl-
vania iron capitalists, are seeking a new
market for their iron-among the 'innards"
Of chickens. They would make the whole
chicken of iron if they could, but the rustics
can beat them at that, for some of them have
the secret of making them of adamant.
At any rate, chickens which there was in
ternal reason to think came from the PENN
sula, were last winter sold in the New York
market, each having FIVE or six inch new
spike in it.
you seek for ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain, get acquainted with
Peninsula rustic. MERRY ANDREW.

The Bayard Chamberlain Treaty
lCNarles 90 NlooabNIrl.

CN0ylcS Len ~ OOAOMfyJ,
article I7.-Fishing vessels Of Canada and
Newfoundland shall have on the Atlantic
coast Of the United States, all the privileges
reserved and secured by this treaty to United
States fishing vessels in the aforesaid waters
of Canada and Newfoundland.
The effect of this article is more ex-
tensive than would appear on a cursory
reading. What are "the aforesaid
waters," and what "the privileges
reserved aud secured by this treaty."
which we are required to reciprocate
on our Atlantic coasts, aud what is the
measure of the reciprocity this article
calls for?
In the aforesaid waters" we have
the "liberly" to fish for all kinds of
fish, near the shore, to laud, cure and
dry the fish on a vast extent of the
coast of Canada and Newfoundland,
but on limited portion, are excluded
from fishing within three miles of the
shores.
Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. the
the Sounds of North Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and their rivers are all made
free to the fishing of the Canadians
and Observation-Disclosures, in season or out
of season, in any mode they please to
employ. Aye, they may claim that
the shores of the Gulf of Mexico are
part of the Atlantic coasts, and Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas
equally invaded.
This is not an idle construction. 1t
embraces wider scope than the re-
nunciation clause and as the interpre-
tation of the treaty of 1918, its clauses,
become grated and Incorporated, in
tegrally as one substance with the
clauses of that treaty.
think there can be no doubt that
Article y will justify a British claim
to participate in all our coast, bay,
sound and river fisheries, and will pre-
clude Congress or the States from pass
ing any laws on the subject without
British consent. There are further
privileges in the renounced waters
which we grant by Article 13 in our
waters to the British, viz; when enter
ing for shelter repair, wood and water
art. 10); but when there for other
purposes than shelter. repair, wood and !
water, the harbOr tonnage, light duties
and other similar charges may he lev
led on then, as when in there Cart. III |
for replenishing outfits, provision and |
supplies, damaged or lost by disaster, |
death or sickness, or when procuring |
provisions, ETC., for a homeward vOy-
age. Or whenever Article 15 comes
into effect, entering ports, etc, for the
purposes there designated.
There is, however, one notable dis
tinction; our privileges in the second
clause of Article II are limited to "es-
tablished ports of entry" Article u
gives the Canadians such privileges
ION the Atlantic coast of the United
without restriction to 'pnrts
of entry.n Article u thus subverts
our whole system of revenue law,
which restricts the trade of foreign
vessels to established ports of entry,
and makes our whole Atlantic coast
an unguarded area for smuggling.

The Surplus Disposed Of.
tMeag Yotk TtfbNne.l

A4NSet 4 efN AFatHNesl
Just to think that after all this noise
and lurid speech, after these months
of skipping about in the shadows with
a dark lantern to evade inquiry, after
all Mr.. Cleveland's ponderOus wisdom
about it being "a condition and not a
theory that confronts us''-after all
this, there isn't going to be any sur
plus, anyhow! According to the
President, millions on millions were
being piled up in the treasury at the
rate of million a week. and we were
all being ruined through the Custom
House. Now, when the Democratic
Congress has got well along iu its work
of spending the public treasures, it
appears that the surplus will be only
about twelve millions, which, if the
Mills bill were to pass and to result
in its operation as its advocates say it
will, must be turned into a deficit Of
sixty millions! This is a dreadful sit
uation. 1t calls upon Mr.. Mills to ask
the House to withdraw his bill He
has been legislating to meet a condi-
tion, and it turns out to be only
theory. The capacity of the Demo
craticparty toscatter the public money
was not taken into account.

COMMUNICATION.
GLENDALE.

Our little village is alive and our people
up and doing. It is safe to say that its in
habitants considered, there is NO town on the
pininsula doing so much business. The
pine piling boom still moves on and reflects
much credit on the ability Of Mr.. Fisher
for the successful handling ofthe enterprise.
the numerous carloads of beautiful straight
sticks are a compliment to the soil ofsussex.
Mr.. Fishers payroll for the week often ex-
ceeds $500, and he estimates that all of the
year 1888 at least will be required to finish
the contract. S. z. Reed & Bros basket fac
tory employs large force of nailers and yet
his utmost capacity is inadequate to keep
pace with his orders. B. Z. Jester, successor
to Jester & Reed, evaporators, is pushing
the fruit curing business with vim, and
gives employ to all the women and children
of the community. Farm work is suffering
for want Of laborers, as the factory and mill
are more agreeable places to work, and saw
ing fodder is coming ON with this cheerless
outlook. Our cannery is to start next week,
but where its operatives shall came from un-
less imported is a question that vexes the
City visitors are plentiful this
season and lend their presence to make the

The approaching fair of the Peninsula
Horticultural Society, to be held in the
Opera House on September 18th, 10Th, goth

UNLESS protective legislation is
given, the Delaware shad will soon be
a historic "reminiscences. The reports
Of this industry for the season past, all
point to this conclusion, and so impor-
tant food fish and industry should
be carefully guarded. The Importance
of the shad fisheries is to this section
almost equal to the mackerel bus iness
Ofthe New England coast, and the time
of the catch should be limited to such
an extent that the fish may have some
chance to increase.

SINCE the fodder-saving season is on,
it would be advantageous to farmers
who have the feeding of milch cows,
to make a small silO and try the bene-
fit of soiled food. This practice is
largely operated in many of the dairy
districts, and its users claim for it
great advantage, both in the ecOnO-
mizing of food, the health Of the cattle
and the amount and quality of the
product. A soiling pit requires but
little labor or expense, and is an i'm
provement available to every grazier.

THE fisheries treaty after months OF
delay and costly argument, has received
a quietus by a negative vote Of 30 to
q ayes. Whether Senator MOrgan's
idea that its rejection and war were
inseparable, will develop as a fact, is a
question for the future; but this fact
remains, that Canada has suffered
more by its rejection than has the
United States; and the present unset
tied condition Of the question is better
than to have entered into compact
so compromising to the dignity of the
republic,and damaging to the prosper
ity and liberty to one Of its industries.
THEvexed question ofimmigratiOn's
benefits and dangers, and the proper
regulation of the influx of foreigners
is one that interests all classes and con-
ditions of American citizens. The
Congressional Committee has begun
its work in the investigation of this
matter in a manner which promises
well for thOroughness and usefulness.
The testimony OfMr. POwderly shows
a very unhealthy condition of affairs
in the coal regions. What the REM
edy should be is not generally agreed
upon, and a diversity of fopiniOu exists
even among the leading minds. Leg
islative enactments should remedy
this evil and the matter sh ould receive
immediate attention.
