which Is worth thinking about. He says:
There will be in Chicago during the next four
months at least 200, 600 persons each day spend

age will be much higher. This represents only ex-
penses there. To that must be added the money

in the distance have been the passengers on the
limited trains. But as the knowledge of what
there Ia here and comprehension OF what will
be their misfortune TO miss 1t goes through tho

ed in our history coward Chicago. Every one
who has, who can beg or borrow, enough
money TO get here ana back home again is COM

These are the views of shrewd and

Tho Now York Herald,a leading free
trade organ, pays a deserved tribute
through Its Havana corresponi ence,
to the efficiency Of the reciprocity
policy, which ia part of the Meliin.
ley tlrln bill. H,ra Is what the CORE.
spondent says: American products
continue to be Imported In large guam
titles, particularly hardwar, and other
manufactured goods, the Introduction
OF which wns made possible against
European manufactures under the
Reciprocity Treaty. Every steamship
which has left this port for Cuba
during the last sixteen months, has
baen heavily freighted with American
exports. The trade has increased
steadily and without interruption and
shows no indications OF decline. or
sixteen articles OF exports the amount
inilsoi, was 80. 9O6, 7s9. compared with
$751; SEQ IA in 1899. This exhibit shows
aluniform increase in nearly all classes
Of merchandise, favored by the treaty,
AM net gain of So 1000, 600 ia trade.
In only two of those articles, books
and leather, has there been decrease
OF exports. The increase In bread.
stuffs is 334 per cent, the American
millers having practically secured the
-four trade of the Island. Such an-ex-
hibit as this Is particularly interesting
at the opening OF Democratic ad-
mlnlstratlon, which is pledged by the
Chicago platform to Incorporating
hostility to reciprocity. President
Cleveland has RETAINED in his inaugu-
raj from Indicating his policy respec.
ting the Spanish and other conven-
tons, but he has declared emphatical-
ly against any system of industrial
bouhties. OF course, II he has his
way the sugar bountles will have
to 20. This will bring the Louisiana
planters, who are free traders in every
thing but sugar, before Congress with
loud clamors for the restoration OF
duties on sugar. II their appeals are
granted, this will place Mr., Cleveland
and his party in very awkward and
embarrassing position. They will lie
compelled to enter into their warfare
against protected industries, by FIRST
protecting the Louisiana planters.
The restoration OF these duties upon
sugar will increase the power Of the
sugar trusts and retlners to control
tie price Of sugar. AS President
Cleveland has left no doubt as to
where he stands on trusts and combi-
nations, this Will lead to another very
embarrassing complication. 1t is
quite probable that tho new admins
tration Will move very slow In this
matter, though Its party platform has
declared reciprocity to be fraud.
These treaties are for the mutual ad-
vantage OF consumers and exporters,
and are working admirably In In.
ereasina the volume of the nations
foreign trade. Mr.. Cleveland will be
very foolish to take up arms against
popular policy that has proven itself
to be so highly beneficial to American
merchants and farmers. ....

cIIEsrnR VS.. MEDIA.
To tho. County Sea, sy Electric Cars

~ the county sent by Electric Cars
APieasant but Very slow Ride.
A representative OF the REpup1 rcAN
took the 1.37 train at the p, W. Il B.R.
II. station yesterday afternoon for the
purpose OF visiting Media. the county
seat OF Delaware County. The dis
lance by road is five miles. We board
ed an electric car at Fifth and Market
streets, Chester, few minutes after 5
o'clock, which was crowded, every
seat being occupied and as many more
passengers standing, swinging on
the straps.
The tirst car passed over the track
on Monday when the residents along
tho line turned out en- masse to ace the
wonderful electric cara go bowling
along, past their homes at five mile
an hour gait. The road bed is not vet
thoroughly balasted, and the cars can
not make as good time as they will
when the road is finished IL took AZ
minutes to make the journey to Media
at the terminus In front of the County
Court House. Media contains some
three thousand Inhabitants and three
weekly papers, American. a MANN 9th
sheet Record and Republican. The
latter is edited and owned by Congress.
man Robinson.
Media Is very pretty little place
with all the embellishments to make 1t
q desirable nlace for residence for
retired Philadelphia merchant or far
mer The joining of Media to Ches,
ter by electric railway will help both
places ana make property all along
the line more valuable for building
purposes. The fare is ten cents each
way. After paying our respecis at
the American Office we took a short
stroll around the place and noticed
numerous very substantial improve.
ments since our last visit, some three
years ago.
At four O'Clock we took car for the
return to Chester. The men in charge
OF the ears ARE certainly OF the very
green kind In running electric cars. IL
consumed over one hour in making
the trlp. The motorman would leave
the car out fol- all there was in it and
run like limited train for about half
mile, then the car would be run onto
a switch and be held for go minutes,
then 1t would he started up again only
to meet another car few hundred
feet farther on, and then it would be
run back to the switch to leave tho
car pass.
The run will be made in less than
hHlf an hour when everything is got
In smooth running order As 1t is now
conducted the ride is rather tiresome.
