More Than TantaIizing

However we'll intended and
honest the clever statements
that lead to sales, it must be
annoying to carry home the
goods and tell the neighbors
the cost and have them say
that they bought the same
things here in the regular way
AT HALF THE PRICE
without vaunting advertise
ment.
We can show quite a num-
Der of articles selling along
here for a long time in the
usual course of business at
half and quarter less than hull
abaloo prices.
Getting the largest prices
possible is the old-fashioned
way, but our system of busi-
ness requires the lowest pos
sible prices, and we make it a
business to see that they are
THE LOWEST QUOTED
or as low as any.

PAY OF TAX COLLECTORS IN KENT
AND SUssEx.-The recent troubles
over the collection of taxes in Sussex
county have called attention to the
way in which the tax collectors of that
county and also of Kent are paid. In
New Castle county the collectors when
the old system of paying commissions
was in vogue were paid on the amount
which they collected. But in Kent
Kent and Sussex counties the collect
ors are paid on the face of the dupli-
Gates. Thus the collector receives his
commission on the whole duplicate, no
matter whether he collects the taxes or
not. If the collectors were paid q com
mission on the amount collected for
taxes IL is believed that there would be
more collected 10 both counties than
there are present, and the collectors
would not be so liable to fall into the
ways of politicians. If the collector
had to collect taxes in order to get his
commission, and could not get II In
any other way, says the Morning NelSs
he would have some incentive TO col
lect all the taxes be could.

we remember we'll when in some of the
Democratic wards of Wilmington that

beaten and If q Republican dared, to

bring on him a storm of abuse and
violence of an alarming character. If

abiding,more tolerant and more honest

The motto should be 1--WE want moth

The DeLGtUGreGn. in discussing the
probable change of the Income tax to
a tax on sugar says: ITO place q duty
of even one cent pound upon sugar
would raise the price 25 per cent, and
perhaps more, to the consumer, and
would put millions into the pockets of
the refiners, who are already gorged
with the wealth they have injustly
filched from the people by means of
high duties. But the vice and Injustice
of the proposition is that it proposes to
tax the people not according to the
interest they have in the government
and the the protection they receive
and their ability to pay. but according
to the number of mouths they have to
fill. Thus the poor man with his wife
and five children will pay more than a
Gould or Vanderbilt with a family OF
two or three, because the poor mans
family will consume more"
