Senator FRYE. of Maine, i'm Dover,

Between 20 and 80 of the citizens of
this town and vicinity went to Dover
Monday to hear Senator Frye and
others speak. The meeting though q
good one, was not as large as it might
have been had pains been taken by
printing bills and other mean of adver-
tising to give the proper information
in the county.
Messrs. Marvil and Willis occupied
seats on the stand during the meeting.
Among the others on the stand were
Gen. James II. Wilson, n. b. Smithers
w. T. Smitbers, Beniah Watson, J.
Frank Alice, Paris T. Carlisle, VIM. H.
Baggs, J. P. Hudson, ManlOve Hayes,
John H. Bateman, Mark H. Davis and
others.
1t was expected that Hon. George
V. Massey would speak at the meeting
but the death of his daughter prevented
him being present.
The Hon. N. B. Smithers presided,
and in calling the meeting to order
brought to the mind of those who re-
membered the incidents OF 80 and 80
| years ago, the force and energy he
! grasped the stirring issues of that day.
| He prefaCed his introduction Ex-senator
! Frye by a five minute speech of well
chOsed sentences. Mr.. Frye in rising
acknowledged the compliment to him
| from the State of Blaine, said he was
Every proud to be introduced by the
| best lawyer in the United States"
| (Their acquaintance dates back to the
war when both were members of the
| HOuse.) PronOuncing the Tariff bill
TO be the great question and saying
that capital can and will be invested in
stocks, bonds, railroad &c. if it does
not pay in manufacturing, he main
tanned a protective tariff is intended to
bring capital out of banks aud put it
into mines and furnaces and other
manufacturing establishments. This
creates demand for labor and de-
nand for labor raises wages and en-
ables IA man to support his family
proftably.
Senator Frye then illustrated the
tariff by building a mill in Dover which
he called United States and one in
Smyrna which he called England. The
former in the difference in labor costs
100000 and the latter S60,000 The
difference in price is due to higher
wages paid in the United States. A
bail of wooden goods made in the
United States costs $50; ia England
$40. Ifthe Englishs good can be brought
TO this country it can be sold for $45,
aud profit of S. made. How long
will the American mill run? The only
way the mill in this country can run is
to cut down wages to the English rate.
The doctrine of the Republican party
is that the workman is entitled to good
wages and good living. You are feel
ing an approach toward free trade
now. The farmers are feeling it be-
cause the wOrkmen are not able when
out of work or working at European
wages to pay the prices the farmer
needs to remunerate him for the pears
peaches. berries, grapes, grain &c. be
sends to market. Because of low wages
they cannot purchase products which
are low. In this country 70,O00,00C
people consume as much as 10000 00C
would in England. England cares fol
nothing but the markets of this coun
: try. The Republican party cares fol
the people. Speeches were also made
also on the same line by Senator Hig
r gins and J. S. Willis.

Sussex Republicans Enthussd.

Georgetown had a rousing Repub.
lican meeting yesterday, such as Sus-
sex county has not seen for years.
Fully 5000 people we're there and
entered into the enthusiasm of the oc.
casion. Before the speaking began a
parade was formed, consisting of
Joshua Marvil's beautiful baud wagon
with span Of six iron grays and dele
cation after delegation from most every
place 10 the county. Joshua Marvil
candidate for GoXeTnor and Jonathan
Willis, candidate for Representative,
headed the procession followed by
Senators Frye, of Maine and Anthony
Higgins, and a number OF other leading
men of our State, including the whole
Sussex county ticket. Speaking began
at 100 O'Clock On the Court House
green. Senator Frye made brilliant
addresses so plain, simple and earnest that
twas within the understanding of every
man in that vast audience. He was
followed BY James Pennewell, Anthony
Higgins and Jonathan Willis, AS each
speaker finished the hand strAck up
some fav0fite Dir. Joshua MarYif was
the idol Of the occasion, and very fire.
aueutly they broke out with nthree
cheers for Governor Marvil" It was
great meeting and the mastery elo-
quence, logical thought, and enthus-
iasm will live 10 the minds of the Sus-
sex people for d long while.

When this enterprise was started a

tives but probably will require an in
crease. There is no doubt but that the
employment of 25 to so persons is a
great benefit to us all and there should
be no hesitancy on the part of the per-
sons subscribing to this fund in coming
forward and paying the amount due
for two quarters rent. A few have al
ready paid but there seems to be no one
to go and collect this money. There
should be no need of any one going
around as every man should have the
interest and welfare of the town suf.
Hoiently at heart to call on VIM. FAIRIES,
treasurer of the Board Of Trade and
pay In the amount due. The amount
Is small and the rent is past due. 1t is
your duty, having promised to pay the
amount set opposite your name, to call
on the treasurer and liquidate your in
debtedness, for it is just debt you
owe.
1t is hoped that every subscriber will
make an effort to pay in the amount
due at as early date as possible that
the rent may be paid at once.

PROSPECTS OF CROPs-THE NATIONAL
DREGING COMPANY-TwO cows
LOST BY AN UNKNOWN
DISEASE.
The prospects of cold weather and
the rain heavy land of this section, is
causing the farmers, who were DELAYED
with a late corn crop, to be anxious
about getting their crops in before
colder weather sets in. Those who
have not finished seeding wheat are
beginning to feel that they are too late.
Standing on an elevation, looking
across the meadow of the National
Dredging Company, which previously
had been drained and put under cult
walton, is now showing signs of great
prOductiVeness. The land that has
been flooded so long is found to be of
great advantage to the farmers, instead
of a barren waste as in previous years.
The fertility of the land was badly
ruined last spring by the food tides
caused by the great Eastern storms, but
this fall an entirely different aspect is
presented. 1t is plainly seen that salt
water is a deadly enemy to crops.
Rev. E. H. HynsOn, pastor of Friend
ship church, expects to begin revival
meetings next Sunday evening, Oct.
2lst.
Strawberries in this section have not
made much growth owing to the dry
weather. The old plants which have
been kept over for another season have
failed to make but few runners, hence
there is prospect for light crop.
RumOr has it that W. II. Staats, OF
this section, has rented the farm of A.

THE ship canal question is uppermost
again. The President has appointed
Board of Engineering Experts to
examine the various surveys for the
route of a ship canal to connect the
Chesapeake and Delaware River and
report which is best adapted to facili-
tate commerce and provide for defense
in time of war. The report must be
completed in time for Its presentation
to Congress at its next session. This
enterprise is essentially a Baltimore
project which has been taken under
the wing of Federal nurture.
COntemporaneously with the move
ment to connect the Chesapeake and
Delaware provisional ship canal COM
mittee in Pittsburg has opened sub
scriptiOn books to provide a guarantee
fund of 100000 to cover the cost of
preliminary surveys for great water.

Ohio River. The cost of this enter.
prise, it is estimated, will not fall short
of $3O,OOO,OOO.

The State Teachers Institute held
at Dover last week was a success in
every way, especially financially, to
the superintendent. Capable instruc-
tors from this and other States were
provided, and if the teachers did not
come away with knowledge gained to
aid in prosecuting their profession, it
was their own fault. The 500 or 600
teachers added to the citizens, insured
packed houses to all the paid night en-
tertainments. The absence of the
children from school for the week may
or may not have been much loss to
them.
