THE business men of this country
could fill volume after volume of the
practical results of the threat of Ma
tional legislation on The theory that
''protection is a robbery and o fraud"
In canvass among the business men
of the city this week, wide awake and
successful man of affairs gave us a
fact from his business experience that
speaks volumes of itself. He said in
one line of 5usiness-that of musical in
struments-he had bad gradual yearly
increase of business covering period
of twelve years from $4,000 to Sl8.-
900, eliminating in the latter sum in
1892. In 1898 the business receipts
from this line of his business amounted
to only $4,000, loss of over IS per
cent. of the business in a year, that
year was the first of President Cleve-
lands second term and the first yeal
of the Democratic Fifty-third Con-
gress. As protectionist we believe
no other explanation is needed.
Farmers, mechanics and all classes,
except the wealthy, ceased to purchase
musical instruments. The wealthy
bought them at cheaper rates. 'Tis
an ill wind that blows nobody good.

The date Oh the label on your

We have done a cruel thing. Blu

We have done cruel thing. But
we couldn't help it. We have shat
tered the ideal, or "the approach to-
wards the ideal" as our immediate
predecessors modestly term the neat,
attractive and taking arrangement of
the TRANSCRIPT for the past two years.
The first page of a paper full of up-to-
date news, written in good English in
an attractive style, is an ideal" in
deed, for country paper, but the
practical man inquiries first, Does it
pay? Advertisers do not like, and
justly so, to be placed on solid page
of advertising. Most of them are too
reasonable to expect always to get "top
of column" "next to reading matter"
with ''no other ads. on the same page,',
but they are the "life and m arrow" of
a newspaper Office and their wishes
must be consulted.
But this alone did not dictate the
change. With the news on the first
page and the editorial on the second,
both the "inside" and "outside" forms
had to be proof read, made up and run
off the same day, Friday. That neces-
sarily doubled the work for that day
and often delayed the hour of going to
press. Newspaper men can best ap-
preciate that statement. 1t was in ef-
feet doing the washing and the ironing,
the baking for the week, the weekly
sweeping and dusting, all in one day.
Does any sensible housekeeper criticize,
therefore, the change we have made2
We are exceedingly sorry to sacrifice
the ''ideap but cold, common-sense
facts have shattered it. We 60 back
to the "make-up" of all other weeklies
on the Peninsula but we propose to
put the TRANSCRIPT in the front ranks,
and every page shall be an attractive
one. We especially ask attention to
our agricultural" columns and invite
contributions.

s'If the income tax law be sustained
by the Supreme Court upon the Olney-
Carter arguments the most important
rights of the people will have vanished" !"
From the columns of Ecery Evening
of March 10Th.
What an acknowledgment! What
an admission to appear anywhere in a
paper like the EUery Erening! 1t is a
direct charge that the Fifty-third Con-
gress has passed a law depriving the peo-
pie of their rights. But further, that
law received the silent endorsement of
President Cleveland, and it is result
tant of the pledges of the last National
Democratic Convention for "tariff re-
form" But further still, it's passage
was opposed by the Republicans in
Congress and the entire responsibility
for its enactment rests with the Demo-
cratic party. We can imagine the
keen chagrin with which Democratic
editor admitted such humiliating ac-
know Judgments to his columns. We
admire the courage with which he takes
his medicine. 1t is scommendable it is
patriotic; for it should make Republi-
can votes. Had the TRANSCRIPT
given such an opinion our good Demo-
cratic readers would have smiled and
said sit is partisan view," but GER
tainly the Euery Evening belongs to the
true faith and is one of the inner fold.
Nothing we can say can add to the
force of those four lines from the z.

hope of the people in freeing them
selves from the fetters of Democratic
Congress in the Supreme Court, a ma
iority of whose members are Republi-

A LETTER received yesterday by

A LETTER received yesterday by
the TRANSCRIPT from one of Laurel's
most prominent citizens and a leading
Republican assures US that Governor
Marvil is steadily improving, and he
expects to be in Dover the first of next
week attending to his regular duties.
There has been neither operation nor
consulting physician from the city as
was sensatioBally reported in the city
dailies. "Chronic heart difficulty" is
the diagnosis of his physicians, but the
acute stage having passed they see ''no
reason why he will not soon fully re.
cover his average state of health"
Gov. Marvil may rest assured that
he has the earnest desires of all citi-
zens of the State for his speedy restora-
tion to full health and vigor. They
come as earnestly from Democrats as
Republicans, and are an evidence that
we are brethren, though not always
dwelling together in political unity.

The Middletown, (Del) TRAM
SCRIPT has changed hands, Mr.. Nick.
Downham, being the present editor and
proprietor. The TRANSCRIPT will still
be Republican paper as heretofore.
1t has been ably edited for several years
by Miss Burris, who will still continue
with the paper. The present editor
enters the field with high and hon.
orable aim, and upon plan that will
secure the appreciation and good will
of all. Although opposed TO his views
politically, we think it is pity that
more of our newspaper men do not
strive with as manly purpose to make
their sheets pure, and useful in upbuild-
ing spirit of nobleness and honor.

"ELECT A SENATOR.o

The senatorial "break" has come.
1t arrived on Wednesday when the
members of the General Assembly who
have been voting for Mr.. Higgins,
with the exception Of Mr.. Wilson, on
two ballots voted for Mr.. Edward G.
Bradford and on the two succeeding
ballots for DR.. Hiram R. Burton. TIE
gentlemen who have been voting for
Mr.. Addicks and those who have been
voting for Mr.. Massey did not change.
Mr.. Higgins supporters then returned
to him and voted for their "first
choice"
What does it mean We can speak
only for ourselves in answering the
question, but after having studied the
situation at Dover from all it's stand
points, we are convinced that ii
means that the friends of Mr.. Higgins
are in earnest about the election of a
senator. Mr.. Higgins is their first
choice, as he is the first choice of the
people of Delaware irrespective of
party the first choice of the great
majority of active Republicans and the
masses of the party in New Castle
county; the first choice of the great
body Of the Republican party in Kent
and Sussex counties, we believe, though
Of that we cannot speak accurately.
The majority of the working pol
ticians" in Kent and Sussex are, or
were, opposing Mr.. Higgins, we are
informed, but they are divided among
themselves between Mr.. Addicks and
Mr.. Massey.
A gentleman, prominent in State
politics, said this week that Mr.. Hig-
gins is to-day the ablest, the brainiest,
the most representative man in the
State of Delaware. That is a high
compliment from an opponent, and
that fact, if it is accepted as fact,
and we are not doubling it, though we
do not like comparison, taken with
his splendid record in the Senate and
his acknowledged character, should
guarantee his reelection to the Senate.
There should be no doubt about the
choice, taking the above facts in con-
nection with the other fact that q,
majority Of the Republican members
of the Legislature have voted for sue
cessive ballots for Mr.. Higgins, maxi
ing him the party's candidate in every
legitimate sense. "Majority ruls,n

eff the present condition of affairs
in this country is attributed to the
change of administrations, why did it
not come in 1852" is the inquiry put
to the TRANSCRIPT by a friend.
To US the answer is apparent, reason
able and, convincing. During Mr..
Cleveland's first term the Republican
Senate stood between "free trade" a
"tariff for revenue" or by whatever
name the tariff legislation proposed by
the Democrats may be called, and Re-
publican protection. The Democratic
National Convention declared that
"protection is fraud and a robbery"
With the Republican majority in the
Senate during Mr.. Cleveland's first
term the business men knew there
could be NO radical tariff legislation
and Republican protective prosperity
continued to bless the country from
1885 to 1889. Not so in 1898. The ell
ection of 1892 swept the Republicans
from power in every branch Of the Ma
tionaI government, and with the threat
of general tariff revision, without
knowledge of its extent or direction,
staring the business interests of the
country in the face, business men began
the next day after the election to pre-
pare for a change, to arrange for cut
ting down expenses, to set their houses
in order for the new arrangement. Is
it any wonder they did SO? Was it
not wise in them to do it? Natur-
ally in reducing expenses the laboring
man was the Grst to feel it. But we
all know the result. We may be wrong
in our conclusion, but we believe we
are right. Is our friend answered?

PETTY POLITICS.

"The Republican House thinks that
an appropriation of $500 to establish a
training school for the benefit of Kent
county pupils is job, while a bill
creating the office of Assistant Secre-
tary of State at salary of $500 per
annum, seems to it to be eminently
wise and proper.-Inder of March 81.

of the Inder are more intelligent and

Democrats from Kent county voted
against the bill and with Mr.. Fleming
made a majority of the Kent Repre-
sent atives. 1t was Kent county bill
and if Kent county did not want it,
it should not have passed. The truth
of the matter is, the bill Disseminated
against the teachers of New Castle

and was very properly killed.
