are approving the scheme. 1t is not
worth while, however, to turn hair
over this matter, for it will never be
done in Delaware. The only result
of the PILOTS suggestion will prob
ably be to keep both Tunnel and
Mustard out of the Constitutional
Convention. The best thing for
them to do is to cut loose from Del
aware and connect themselves with
Spain. Their idea of human rights
are on par with the ancient civili-
cation of that peninsula monarchy.
Every EUeaing in reporting what
Pilot said and opposing the propo-
sition advanced, also puts in print
an excellent idea which has been
prudently considered in private for
some time by the leading members
of both parties in this city. The
idea is to make up union tickets in
each county of the state, placing
upon it five Republicans and five
Democrats and thus secure a con-
ventiOn of thirty delegates, made up
OF fifteen Republicans and fifteen
Democrats. Such Il policy carried
to its legitimate end would give the
State an absolutely non-partisan
constitution, and it goes without
saying that any other Constitution
would not be adopted by the people.
There is danger however that con-
stitution framed by such a Oonven-
ton will please nobody not even the
trainers, and that it will meet defeat
for that reason. 1t is a question
that deserves consideration and it
was given to the public not a day
too soon. 1t is safe to say that no
constitution can be framed which
will not be an improvement upon the
century-old document that clogs
Delaware's progress to-day. The
Bourbon ideas of Messrs. Tunnel
and Mustard as well as the ancient
interdictions of the constitution de-
serve the careful consideration of
the Single Tax propagandists. About
the only thing the latter appear to
be doing is to make unpopular the
poll tax system of the State, which
is to-day as it has been ever since

Mr.. Lore. The majority of the law
yers favor the promotion of Attor-
ney General Nicholson. but the poll
ticians are all clamoring for John
H. Rodney. In Gent county the
Democratic leaders are in favor of
Edward Ridgely, who has character
as well as brains and training. But
the outcome rests with WolcOtt, or
rather with WOlcOtt and Massey.

Milford chronicle., 1895-10-11

If there is man in the State of
Delaware who does not know that
the Pennsylvania Railroad rules and
to all intents and purposes, owns,
both of the leading parties in Della
ware, let him watch Massey and
Wolcott make the appointment of
Chancellor. Here is a so-called Re-
publican leader, who is the assistant
solicitor of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, and a great Democratic leader
who contemplates becoming the same
corporations attorney, pulling to-
gether and planning and scheming
to have Governor Watson appoint a
Chancellor that they select who can
be depended upon to do his duty
towards their masters. This is the
way the Pennsylvania Railroad peo-
Die do things. When a man enters
its employ he sells himself body and
soul. and he is bound to do their bid
ding. We do not believe Governor
Watson will appoint any man who is
favored by Wolcott, for this means
Massey's choice and Massey's man
means the Pennsylvania Railroad
Governor Watson is too indepen-
dent a Chief Magistrate to do any
mans bidding and we believe he IS
independent enough to refuse to do
the bidding,-to become the tool
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. John
r. Nicholson is eminently qualified
for the position, in all that makes a
man qualified, and the fact of his
being opposed by WOlcOtt and Mas
sew should cause the Governor to
settle on him as his selection for
Chancellor. OF course the Gov
ernor cannot do anything open un.
til Wolcott resigns, but he can look
the matter over AMI give the subject
due consideration and deliberatiOn
and announce his selection the mo-
ment Wolcott's resignation is placed
IN his hands. John r. Nicholson
ought to be Chancellor when the
vacancy occurs and we believe Gov
ernor Watson will also take this view
Of the matter.

THE Single Tax farce in this State
is dying Of its own weight. This is
not surprising, however, as of itself
it is heavy, indeed, and it would be
surprising ifsuch wild theories could
take any hold upon the minds Of an
intelligent people. The world is not
right; not perfect by good ways,
nor will it ever e,and any organized
effort to make it perfect will only
lead to many more imperfections.
The world is growing worse each
year, and will continue so to grow
until the end, and those who believe
it is growing better,-that it will
some time be perfect,-are misled
and do not understand what the
Holy Word teaches.
When the Lord returns to this
earth,-at the time of His second
coming,-the world will be made
perfect under His ruling, as all things
imperfect will then be cast out. IN
til then we must expect many imper-
fections in the world and one of
them, LO doubt, is the system of tax
alton in vogue the world over, but
the wild and visionary theories of
the Single Tax advocates will not
right things even in this one respect.
For some reason unknown to US
there was not a single speaker in
Milford last week. Probably these
misled youths,-yOuths in intelli-
gence ifnot in years,-are beginning
to see the fallacy of longer laboring
in such a cause. We do not believe
three votes can be polled for their
candidates in Milford and Cedar
Creek hundreds, even if they have
candidates in the field next year.
The whole thing is wrong in theory
and impossible in practice and the
sooner these followers of Henry
George recognize this fact the bet
ter they will be off in this world.
We are not opposed to the crusade
but we honestly pity these people
that for single moment they should |
be such simpletons as to think they
can convert the people of this State
to their idiotic way of thinking.
Poor simpletons.

A shunae in tho Free Trade Deal

The New York World, which has
bad recurrence of its attack of the
Free Trade craze, said "The peo-
pie can be trusted to remember the
operations of the Mckinley Tariff
and to observe the effects of the
present one." We hope so. The
Operations" of the Mckinley Tariff
will bear the strictest scrutiny. 1t
was not an ideal Protective Tariff,
but the principle on which it was
based was right and has stood the
test of time.
"They know" added the World,
shat there was no increase in wages
to correspond with the increase in
duties under the Mckinley act"
We answer that the Mckinley act
maintained wages at the high figure
they attained under Protection until
the success Of the Free-Trade party
temporarily by the elections Ofl892,
spread dismay among manufacture
ers and forced them to reduce wages
and, in many cases, to suspend bus
mess entirely. By staving off the
Free-Trade. schemes that were put
forward so audaciOusly, the McKin-
ley Tariff put millions of dollars into
the pockets of American wage earn
ers.
"They know )" continued the World
"as the shopping woman told Mr..
Reed that there was an increase in
prices" In some instances exasper-
ated importers and silly retailers
raised prices for effect In order to
bring the McKinleyact into disiavor.
But the general effect of the McKin-
ley Tariff was 30 maintain wages; to
stimulate home industry, increasing,
perhaps, the prices of some luxuries
while it admitted free such raw ma
terials and necessaries of life as could
not be produced at home.
The World also observed that
"what the country is much more in
terested in, however, is the rise in
wages, the reduced cost of necessar-
les and the return of prosperity under |
the Democratic Tariff" Here our
Free-Trade contemporary applies
the term u Democratic Tariff to a
measure which differs so radically
from that sent to the Senate from
the Democratic House of Represen-
tatives that it was repudiated by its
party. The Wilson Tariff, as most
people know, underwent thorough
revision in obedience to the power
full Protectionist sentiment of the
country (which even Democratic SEN
ators oonld not safely oppose. This
bill was in turn so obnoxious to our
Democratic President that he refused
10 sign it.
There is nothing so delusive in
politics as iteration. The greatest
lbsurdities are accepted as true when {
people persist in repeating them. 9
The Worlds scheme is to make peo-
de suppose that the returning pros 9
,erity is due to a Democratic Tar '
A. When it has deluded people by
hat false assertion, it will ask them l.
O. clamor for Tariff that will be
lore "Democratic"-that will re- u
emble that British Tariff, which is y
be Free-Trader's ideal.
