ware that has to pay one penny more
since the passage Of the Mckinley bill I!
Not one! 1t is all a myth, a igment !
of the Imagination.
WAGES HAVE BEEN INCREASED.
Wages have been maintained--even
increased. II was not expected that the
Mckinley bill would have any marked
prodgions effect. But calamity came.
We had the labor disturbance at Home
stead. There were calamity speeches in
the Senate. The New York World ex-
plotted the opportunity. The rich were
denounced. The robber barons had
their arms to elbow in the pockets of
the people. They (the Senate) sent out a
committee Of Investigation, and behold
they found that some of these Home
stead workmen were earning $4,000 a
year, and $4,000 year was not un
common.
l HAVE PROPOSITION.
have proposition for these young
Democratic lawyers who are going
around stamping the State with their
tongues out about low wages. 1t is that
they go out TO Homestead and get en-
ployment. Laughter.
We tax Injuries, but we do believe
in free breakfast table. We have
taken the duty Off coffee and now we
have taken ii of sugar.
RECIPROCITY.
Reciprocity, the handmade of Protec-
ton cannot be put in practice unless we
have high duty.
Manning and Cleveland kept the pub
lie money in the treasury instead of
paying off the public debt.
The speaker then went on to ascribe
all credit for the conception Of the idea
Of reciprocity to James q. Blaine, with
some help from President Harrison. Its
result is that Spain, Germany, Brazil
and England, the last on account of its
West India dependencies, have bowed
the knee to the United States, whose
experts on certain products now go in
free to those countries.
II is the most brilliant stroke of states
manship along peaceful lines that this
world has ever known.
Lord Salisbury, the recent premier of
| England, the most admirable one Britain
has had, most worthy descendant Of
tile great Cecil of Elizabcth's time, said
in n speech at Hastings recently. INA

began BY saying we the EnGlish) will
levy duty on none Aud we call it the
true policy. II may be noble, but it is
not business. Refuse them access to
your markets"
England is shut out from the markets
OF Germany, France and America,
BACK TO LOCAL ISSUES
Who shall be your Presiden. ?-sena-
Tor, congressman, your representatives,
! Levy Court commissioners
My friend, Mr.. Gray, at Dover few
days ago uttered the remark that we in
this State believe in local self-goyern-
ment. | know Of no power that is born
to rule but that of the majority. | am
tired to DEATH am indignant at being
ruled by minoritics. The speaker then
went on in arrairnment of the domi-
nation of New Castle county majority
by Kent and Sussex A single receiver
OF taxes has been appointed for this
county, to whom all the $4,000 voters
taxes must be paid, and the doctrine
preached tonight is that every man
must come up and pay his own tax,
an impossibility as they well know. 1t
would take 200 days to do this, con.
sidering the time lost in the collector
getting his duplicates, and allowing for
Saturdays and other days when the Off
cial is elsewhere there are only 56 days
left
That is the stone the Democrats gave
! us when we asked for bread. The
Legislature puts the power into the
bands of the governor, who relegates il
to officials who can take the power from
the people.
