WHEN Senator Gray told the conhdlng
and open mouthed Democrats OF Della
ware that wheat would be one dollar
per bushel If they elected Democratic
administration, he was not only a great
deeeiver, but poor guesser as well.
Wheat Is worth 90 cents per bushel In
the local market Milford News.
The above Is so unfair and ignorant
that we hesitate to notice It.. We would
not do so II there were more truthful or
more intelligent newspaper writer's. We
take this because 1t Is fair average of
The best that can be found in the Repnb
llcan papers Of Delaware. In the FIRST place
the slur about the 'open-mouthed
Democrats the neighbors, and friends
perhaps, Of the editor, Is neither witty
nor manly. From that style Of argu.
ment we conclude that the editor had no
difficulty in stating what he ought TO
know is false. Senator Gray never told
the Democrats that wheat would be one
dollar per bushel II they elected q
Democratic administration. Senator
Gray talks sense and grammar, at least.

that Senator Gray did not speak Of
"electing Democratic administration. !"
we know that he would not make
foolish promise or false state
ment. He does not profess TO be able to
regulate prices Of country produce by
Cougl essional enactment. much less by
changing Presidents. Such radical
change as that from the pious Harrison
to the potent Cleveland dees not affect
the price Of wheat. Meantime, we are
still living under that law which put
a tariff on wheat in order that higher
piice might obtain. Instead of higher
price we have lower price. II the law
Is effective at all in tho matter, it is
effective to the disadvantage Of the man
who grows wheat for sale. Hence, 1t
seems to us, that II anybody Is open
mouthed" it Is the man who could obtain
his own consent TO write such nonsense.
as the above, 10 say nothing Of its brazsn
untruthfulness.

protective tariff is to put an import

nestle goods to charge similar price, as
the protectionists say, to recoup him for
the difference between tho wages in this
country and the osultry from which
similar goods are imported. 1t is idle to
argue this question, for If the $3.50, 600,
00e, or some smaller amount, be not
added TO the price of domestic goods
then the protective tariff is Of no avail,
