Hon. Charles Foster, secretary Of the
United States treasury, addressed about
500 persons at the Republican rally in
Milford on Saturday afternoon. Hon.
James Il. Lonand presided over the
meeting.
The speech OF Secretary Foster was
very lengthy and did not create the en-
thusiasm that was expected He denied
the Democratic statement that the treas.
ury was bankrupt claimed that the Re-
publican party had succeeded where the
Democratic party had failed; claimed
that the revenues we're increasing under
the Republican rule sounded the praises
of free institutions, and the results Of
protection and reciprocity.
He was followed by Charles H. Treat
who spoke for an hour and a-hulf on
state issues aud the way in which the
tariff benefits the farmers Of Kent and
Sussex counties.
After the meeting Secretary Foster
came TO this city as the guest Of Senator
Higgins. Later in the evening he re-
turned to Washington.

tion has been created by the suit of
County Treasurer George w. Collett

property The bank pays tax on its sur
plus. Thus, they claim, both taxes are paid
once and it is unjust to tax any part
twice. They aver that they have always
