tired to his employer, and reflects how bitter
and intense his disappointment now must
be.
These may not be pleasant things for our
Democratic friends to remember, but the
people will take good care that they shall
not forget them; and now, that their chick
ems are coming home to roost, they must
take care of them. They need not try to
shuttle them off under the wings Of "sil-
yer' and the sherman law" It will not
work; the people know just what is the
matter. They know that when the Demo
cratic party struck its blow at the protec-
tive tariff policy of this country they struck
the country in its vitals; and when they get
one more opportunity at the polls-when
they get one more whack at that Demo
cratic party-it wont think that it is merely
psychological" it will know that it is real
and from the shoulder. w. HASTINGS.

triumphs Of election day, than the wall OF
the poor workingEian arises from the At
lantic to- the Pacific, and wreck and ruin
.fuants its banner to the breeze.
y Aimost15O banking and savings iRstitu-
tions goto the wall, causing shrinkages in
stocks of more than three billion dollars,
while real estate suffers TO the amount Of
almost two billion.
!, Industry after industry. employing thous-
anas of mem are compelled to close their
doors, because Of the unsettled condition
of the financial and tariff questions.
Farmers are compelled to sacrifice their
grain ut much lower figure than it costs
to raise it; and where the mortgaeor's
heavy hand drops upon their lands, they
scarcely bring the amount of the mortgage.
And we will even now feel it more than
ever in New Castle County, since the bulk
of her industries are almost idle-may of
them employing only few dozen hands,
where hundreds were employed before.
The shops Of the p, w. & B. R. r at
Wilmington were closed from Friday until
tuesday, and when the men started in, it
was with the knowledge that they had
been subject to reduction of 25 per cent
in their wages But they appreciated and
looked forward to the blessed era" when
they were going around with the little tin
roosters OH their hats hurrahing for Bayard,
Gray, and the rest of the kid glove Demo
cracy.
But we suppose they will manage to live |
on those same little tin boosters during this |
blessed era vouchsafed them by High |
Priest Bayard.
About 1900 men are affected by this cut
in the railway shops at Wilmington. and
this rs per cent reduction means from
$4,000 to $1,000 less money in circulation
every month. Is it any wonder that the
farmer cannot realize any more from his
wheat.
1t would be far more profitable for him
to feed it to his hogs, as by this means it
would bring him at least dollar bushel
1t is being done by many in the north and
west.

that the coming woman will not be tobac-
