THERE is n growing feeling among
the people all ever the Union that pro-
lection has almost ceased TO protect.
Trusts sormonOpOlies or have been formed
by the very people whom the tariff
has favored for the aVOwed purpose of
limiting production aud forcing the
people to pay large prices for goods
that cost them no more TO produce, bat
which pay large profits. This is the
kind of production that not only far
mers, but mechanics, are interested to
see wiped out. Because fellOw-citi-
zens combine TO snatch the money out
Of our pockets by illegitimate eombl-
nations, under the laws that the free
citizens of the United States have
D.sintained to foster their particular
welfare, is the reason why this spirit
Of antagonism to the tariff has been
born. We,Of Delaware, know that the
law of supply and demand regulates
the price Of all our productions, aud
that the formation Of trusts" is out of
the question. Our fruits must be mar
keted at once, as the prices Of one day
do not regulate the next, aud We have
no protection even against loss by the
late arrival OF trains. This Peninsula
is an unpromising fielt for n high
tariff orator to gain many followers in.
For any steamboat or transportation
line to make money in operating be-
tween Milford aud Philadelphia, 1t is
absolutely necessary that It must be
under the control Of stock company,
and the stock be owned by the mer-
chants and principal freighters in
Milford and Cedar Creek hundreds.
Where a pecuAiary interest is, there
will be found firm advocate aud
patron 'Of the enterprise. Without
deeper water, navigation on the Mis-
pillion will never be satisfactory. De
lays and uncertainties will be encOun-
tered that will effeetually prevent the
route. from becoming popular. and for
this reason every farmer, shipbuilder,
aud merchant in these two hundreds
should interest themselves enough to |
bring their desires before either our
Representative in Congress, or Sena- |
tors Salisbury and Gray by personal
letter. A steamboat would not antag- |
Onize the schoOners or sailing vessels.
1t could not carry cord wood ties, lime,
coal, etc., and would only draw upon
merchandise, poultry, fruits and vege-
tables for its freights. These are now
carried by lhe-ssilrOad,an form only a
very small item of the present water
freighls. The idea If carried out, would
enhance the value Of Neck lands

once fixed should never be changed,
unless perchance it be to increase
the rate. 1t is with just such ex-
treme, un.enable and crude notions IN
mind that such conundrums as the
above are proposed. 1t is in the
same enlightened state OF mind that
the answers are returned.
That this is fact is well illustrated
by the answers referred to above.
The auctioneer who cries bids on
secondhand carpets and broken
kitchen untensils gives up his answer
in the same set phrases used by the
other parrots. He says protection
is a National benefi and an advantage
to my business" How? Oh, do not
ask that. So the commission mer-
chant makes reply, "we think that
protection is a National benefit. 1t Is
an advantage to our business. Who
dis putes the fact that protective
tariff on certain imports is a National
advantage? But does the fact that
there is duty on an article settle ii
that that duty must remain for ever
This commission merchant seems
to think SO. If any one we're to visit
the establishment of this man in a
miserable rookery on Washington
street, where he sells few sacks OF
potatoes, raised by Cinnamon along
the Sacramento river land few chick
ems and eggs from the small farms
near the Bay City, he would wonder
how Protection could benefit him.
But after all, judging from the fog
in which our esteemed Republican
contemporaries are generally upon
the tariff question, perhaps they do
gather light from the views of even
the "potato-smashers" and Chicken
chokers' OF the city front. Who
knows?

THE Board of Health orders the

THE Board of Health orders the
streets swept. The order is addressed
to the Superintendent of streets and
is made under advice from the City
Attorney, to the effect that it is COM
petent for the Superintendent to en-
ploy men and have the streets kept
clean. 1t is a consummation most
devoutly and earnestly to be wished
that this may prove to be correct.
The horrible condition of the streets of
this city last winter drove many thous-
ands of our visitors away from here
days, weeks and months earlier than
they had set as the term OF their stay
with us. In thousands of cases the
miserably impossible state of the
streets cost US permanent residents.
1t is more than time to have our thor
oughfares kept somewhat in the con-
dition suitable to place of the size and
pretensions of Los Angeles. Let no
day be lost between this and the first
rains of next winter in the matter of
paving our streets; and by all means,
as fast as they are put in passable con-
dition let them be kept clean.

relief was at hand. 1t will be recalled
that on Wednesday the mercury indi.
