TO OUT Friends and Patrons !

We take this method of informing on
past patrons, friends and farmers gener
ally that we have formed copartnershil
for the manufacture of the brand of Raw
Bone Super Phosphate generally know
as JUMBO" Raw Bone Super.
Phosphate. which has for some tim,
been manufactured by Thos. E. Draper
of Milford and Philadelphia; also tn,
favorite, old and reliable Xxx" Raw
Bone Super-Phosphate, which was 81
long manufactured at Milford and othe
points by Lohand & Davis, and which
has earned for itself widespread reputa
ton as a successful and economical ferti
lizer.
Our effort and aim will be to max,
all our goods STANDARD" and to keer
them so; and we guarantee to sell a.
cheaply as any other firm. We want all
of our old trade, and as many new custo
mers as desire to give us their order.
for their future needs in our line, and
when we fail to give satisfaction we shall
reasonably expect a withdrawal of theil
patronage
Fertihzing Materials Of the Highest
Grade Only, Sold.
Please favor us with your orders i'll ad.
vance and not wait until our crowded
moments, when often we are obliged to
disappoint through sheer inability on our
part to keep up with the press of orders.
Our stock is now complete and we can
give you better satisfaction for the same
money than those of our competitors
who are doing business under such a
heavy expense. Our expenses are light,
therefore we can afford to sell our goods
cheaper, for you know that the greater
expense a manufacturer is under, the lar
ger his profit must necessarily be. which
assuredly must all come from his custom
ers' pockets.
Ever since we first started in business
we have tried to the best of our ability to
give the people of Delaware and Mary.
land full value for the money they have
spent with us, and we have never had the
least complaint. We will try in the fu-
ture to keep up our reputation, not only
in this respect but in all other respects
pertaining to our business. Our trade
has been gradually increasing for the past
seven years, which we attribute solely to
the small profits at which we have sold
our goods, for we know that in these cri-
teal times people cannot afford to paw
extravagant prices for phosphates.
We use none but No. bone, for which
we pay the highest prices. A visit to
our factory will satisfy our patrons of the
above fact. Call and see us, try our goods
and we feel sure of your future patronage.
Write us for prices and we will gladly
furnish them.
Thanking the people of Delaware and
Maryland and vicinity for past patron
lge and soliciting continuance of the
iame, we remain:
Yours Respectfully,

POLITICAL STRAWS.

The Globe Democrat consoles itself
with the reflection hat Grover Cleveland
has never been elected twice to any Office.
This year will be an exception to the
rule.
Chicago Herald: One of the causes of
complaint OF the returning delegates is
30-cents a-glass whisky at the Chicago

In the last thirty-six years New Jersey
has voted for president nine times. The
Democrats carried the state eight times
and the Republicans once, in 1872. The
Democratic majority ranged from 1000 to
$4,000. New Jersey is not a doubtful
state.

O'Reilly in the Boston Pilot, that the

land has indicated, that it will lower liv-
ing expenses and help the masses, and we
do not believe that protection as Repub-
licans claim, has enriched the American
laborer."
The Chicago Ne,os Qlnd. says level,
headed politicians Of both parties look on
Illinois as a decidedly close state this year.
The tariff issue disturbs all calculations.

The New York San quotes several au.
thorities to prove that the candidates Of
the two great parties are both temperance

occurred before. As for Brother Thur

the statement that they still know good
drink, both of them, like the fine old
American statesmen that they are.

FURRY AMONG THE ELITE.

The momentous news comes to us
from Washington hat Mrs. Cleveland is
actually to be cut by the creme de Ia
creme of society at the capital for that
she has committed the objectionable sin.
1t seems that a short time since Mrs.
Cleveland entertained at the White
HOUSE n schoolmate, a very pleasant thing
to do, and which she has done repeatedly
within the past two years. 1t is a mem
orable epoch in any girls life to have
been a guest 1t the White House, and
Mrs. Cleveland, with that generosity for
which she is noted, has in this way given
great pleasure to her schoolgirl friends.
This in itself was no offense to the exclu-
sives Of Washington society, but rather o
pleasure, these fine specimens of eenuine
American Rirlhood making somewhat OF a
sensation.
The last young lady, indeed, became a
great favorite, for, besides being a beauty
of engaging manners, she was a c%ultivat'

a Greenbaoker,s Opinion.

Peter Cooper, during his life, did
more to benefit the labOring man than
any other private citizen in the United
States. He established the Cooper
Institute school, and spent several
millions of dollars to improve the con
ditlOn of the working people. He
employed during his long life as a
manufacturer, thousands of people.
and always paid good wages. During
the later part of his life he was a
greenbacker and a greenback candi-
date for president, and being a green
hacker he was naturally, logically and
conscientiOusly a protectiOnist. In a
speech IN 1888 at a large labor meet
ing IN New York city he said:
Il have noticed in my own business life, ex-
tending over period of nearly seventy years,
that every reduction of the tariff con the tariff for
revenue only planl has brought Wretchedness
and ruin. It ts the natural effect from such
vOeacy Of free trade comes from foreigners who
want 70 break up our industries. They have
done II several times already aud they mean to
40 u again The laDOrers of the old world get
hardly enough 20 keep body and soul together,
ana mat Is the condition In which the advocates
OF free trade are trying to place our laborers.'
Such words Of wisdom from one
who was so great a friend of the
labOrlng men are worth remembering
these days when the Cleveland and
Mills democracy are trying to saddle
Hee trade on the country.

1t will be remembered that the
statement has been published that
during the famine in Ireland, in 1880
Lew P. Morton sent a ship load of
provisions to the starving poor. The
democratic papers redlcule and sheer
at the report and say that it is not
true, or if he did send provisions he
sold them at good prices. The truth
has finally come out and the facts
are that Mr.. Morton personally do
mated one-fOurth Of a ship load of
flour which was taken to Ireland and
distributed free. The other three
fourths Of the cargo was made up by
donations Of other people.

According to a circular sent out by
Harry Fisk & Sons, of New York,
there is now a surplus of 1872 millions
of dollars in the Treasury which the
Democratic Secretary Of the Treasury
has put in certain Democratic Ma
tioual Banks, letting said banks have
the use Of the money without interest,
while he has refused to pay off but
six per cent Of the bonds offered him.
