The Issue i'm Every State.

The voters Of the United States had
but one thought in view, and that was
to express at the polls their belief and
their strengthened faith In the prin-
ciples Of Protection to American indus
tries. They had tasted Of the results Of
the change" for which they were de-
ceived into voting in 1892, and they had
already had surfeit. They long since
realized what Free Trade, disguised as
Tariff reform" meant, and they await
ed with impatience the opportunity to
go to the polls. The enormous ma
jorities cannot be attributed to local
causes. The issue in every State was
made upon the Tariff question, and the
verdict of the people is that they are
not only opposed to any further Tariff
revision, but that they are opposed to
the German bill.-Wilmington, Del,

by a dessert of pie, of which each patient

afternoon they were all given a holiday
