was given at the Union church Thursday
evening by the Congregational society.

short speeches, while letters We're read from
others in reply to their invitations. d. H..

For the past two months the New
York Econing Post has been making life
miserable for the Tribune editorial
writer who rashly asserted that the
Mckinley bill had "opened within this
very year hundreds of new establish
ments which create additional demand
for thousands of laborers in the state Of
Ohio alone" The Eceaing Post at once
called for a bill Of particulars. No
answer. The Post expressed its willing
ness to be satisfied with the names and
locations of q single hundred of these
new Ohio establishments. No answer
Then the Post reduced its demand to
fifty. No answer. Finally the Post
said it would accept ten as starter
and allow the Tribune to furnish
the balance in instalments, from time
to time. Still no answer from the Iri5-
une 1t has been like the standing chal-
lenge propounded by Governor Camp
bell, from every stump in Ohio, for the
production of single nottingham
whose wages had been raised by the
Mckinley bill. The governor found
lots Of men whose wages had been
lowered, but it was long time before
he ran across any one with the contrary
experience. Finally, however, he found
one-a laborer who, having been
knocked out Of So per week job by a
strike had secured employment at $50
per week, as Plnkerton guard, to de-
fend his late employers plant against
his fellow strikersl

]. Alexander Fulton ESQ.,, is barking
up the wrong tree when he attributes
the defeat of his Equalization of taxa
ton" bill to the capitalists of the Will
mington press. 1t was showed under
because the legislators of 1891 had to
much common sense to doanything else.
There are thousands of wage-earners in
Wilmington on whom the burden Of
this measure would have fallen much
more heavily than on the Capitalists
OF the press-or any other capitalists.
The men and women who would have
felt itsill effects the most sorely are those
who have their little savings locked up
in building associations or deposited in
our savings banks. The capitalists
could, and in all probability would,
have called in their Delaware invest
ments and transferred them to other
states, but the small depositors whose
income would have been cut down %
per cent by the proposed GORGEOUS dis
elimination against local Investments
would have had no other resource than
TO grin and bear it. But the General AZ.
sembly OF 1891 was early to take Mr..
Fulton's measure and his bill never had
chance with the bralny men who shape
legislation
