Tho possibilities OF usefulness to society in

ment on the labors of individuals or OF cor
porations. The greater the expenditure Of
labor tho higher is tho estimate Of value.
This is tho rule Of civilization. Land has
reached its highest price on this side the At
lantic in the lower wards Of New York.
When the D.exel building, at the southeast
corner OF Wall and Broad streets, was
erected, the price per square foot OF the
ground whereon it stands was the highest
paid up to TINT time. When, in 1882, VIII
ham II. Vanderbilt gave $40 per square foot
Tor the lots on Fifth avenue, Fifty-second
and bifty-third streets, on which the family
mansions stand, that was the highest price
ever paid for residential purposes. For store
sites on Fifth avenue S65 per square foot was
paid in March, 1886. d. 0. Mills paid ss5
per square foot for the area occupied by his
magnificent building on Broad street, the
Astors 800 per square foot for Nos. 8 and 10
Broadway, and the Williamsburg Fire In
surance company S115 per square foot for the
site Of their equally impressive structure on
the northeast corner of Liberty street and

THERE are more inhabitants in rural
New Castle county than in all OF Kent
and there are nearly twice as many in
this city as in Kent. Therefore there are
very nearly three times as many voters
in New Castle as in Kent county. Hence
when the Smyrna Times evokes the
Esprit Of 76" and reads the people Of
New Castle county a homily on the virtue
OF licking tax collectors, it does so prob
ably without figuring on the facts. In

Go Ahead with the Bill.
New York Press.
There is an idea abroad that the Repub-
licans do not intend to go ahead with the
Senate bill when Congress assemblies next
month. The Press, on the contrary. has
the best reasons for believing that the
Republican Senators intend to 90 forward
with the tariff bill reported from the
Finance Committee TO consider il in de.
tail, correcting imperfections that may be
found and to pass it. II is about time
at least that Republican journals realized
that the Republican Senators IN consider.
ing the Mills bill and in reporting the
substitute were in absolute business earn
est.
The Press firmly believes that the
wisess Republican policy is 60 settle the
farit question as soon as possible. Il is
conceded by oil true Republicans that
pending tariff legislation interferes with
and has depressing effect upon business.
Believing this il would be fatal mistake
Tor the incoming party to keep the tariff
question lowering like dark
cloud over the industrial and
labor interests Of the country
until the Fifty first Congress convened III
the regular way in December. 1889. A
special session Of Congress for this pur
pose and for the purpose OF Fighting the
wrong which the Democracy has commit
ted IN refusing, for political reasons. 70
pass enabling acts for several territories
entitled TO admission as states, would
seem to be foregone conclusion.
In view Of the special session the con.
hnuation Of the Senate work and the
tariff bill is doubly important. II will at
once give the people, and especially the
labor interests, an opportunity to con
tinue their testimony and the Senate an
opportunity to improve and perfect the
olll, The bill will then practically
DC before the country as the Repub
lean measure, and especially viii
this be true II the Senate passes il
Inc consideration and passage Of the
bill by the Senate will familiarize the
new members Of Congress with the whole
subject and make it much easier for them
70 frame the Republican bill which The
Press hopes win finally pass. All that
VIII then remain to be done will be the
settlement in conference committee of the
difference between the House and the Sen
ate bill.
Look at it which way Won will. the
continued and earnest consideration Of
The Senate Tariff bill in the Senate this
winter and special session Of Congress-

tling the tariff and surplus revenue cues
