Certainly Delaware needs better nc.
commodations for her library. Valuable
books and documents are stored away
where they cannot be got at and where
they are not safe. 1t will be wise, not
wasteful, to give more room for these
books.
There is also need of more room for
the accommodation of the General
Assembly. If a new Constitution gives
US increased numbers in the General
Assembly, the need for more room will
become more urgent.
Whatever Is done towards additional
room for the library and the Legislature,

The tariff reform committee Of the
New York Reform Club has been col
lecting definite information about the
increase of wages OF course, il ia i'm.
possible for the committee to learn about
all of the cases Of increase. 1t has.
however, collected data IN regard to 322
firms which have advanced wages since
September LIST, 1894, when the Demo-
cratic tariff commenced its benelicent
work. OF these 322 firms, 1864 have
increased the wage Of $4,000 employees,
The exact number of laborers employed
by the other l58 firms in tho list is not
known, but it is known that some Of
them employ thousands and many of
them hundreds of hands. II is a modest
estimate to say that 100000 men arc
affected by the increase in wages on the
Reform Clubs published list. Ii is an
interesting fact that wage advances did
not begin until the passage of the Demo.
cratic tariff, and that there were practi-
cally no advances, but thousands of
wage reductions, during the four years
of Mckinleyism.

Theae Thinrs arc plain.

The Mckinley bill was TO be a wage
hdyancer, inill-opener and prosperity
producer--so said the protectipnists in
1870, Instead 1t was a wage.reducer,
mill-closer and producer
although it is fairto confess that II had
the help Of other Republican legislation
20 produce the panic OF 1893. The whole
Mckinley period was one Of wage re-
auctions, strikes and riots. Wages were
reduced once, twice or three tines in
thousands of mills. With one exception
1.-THE Fall River cotton mills, which adj
yanced wages less than ten per cent?
there was not, Ia the whole four years,
a wage advance worth mentioning in
any protected industry. Wage reduce
tions begaa promptly and continued
with increasing rapidity to the end Of
the period. Not week went by with
out Its list of reductions.
During the first two years the wage
earners made desperate efforts to resist
the wholesale reductions, and at one
time the militia was out in four different
States trying to suppress labor riots.
During the last two years the wage
earners offered less resistance, although
wage reductions came thicker and
faster. The working people seemed
crushed aud stunned by the disaster
which overwhelmed them.
The protectionists claim that the
shadow of the Wilson bllln was re-
sponsible for the troubles of 1898 and
1894, but the New York Reform Club
in 1899 compiled list of wage reduc.
tons in over 1000 protected mills in
1891 and ls9e-before the people had
voted to turn the Republicans out.
The truth is that at no time did Nc
Kinleyism do anything for the wage
earners. Il was done in their name,
but not for their benefit. The evil re-
suits for wage-earners began i'm.
mediately after It's passage--not wait
ing for the Democratic victory of 1899.
In truth thai victory was largely due to
the hardships which McKinleyism in
fiicted on Yage,earners. II was the
effect instead Of the cause, as Republic
cans papers now claim, OF hardships for
working peopls.
In like manner the good results of
the Democratictarlff began Immediately
after Its passage. These things are SO
plain that words can not cloud counsel
and longer deceive the people whose in
terests are at shke. They understand
the truth and thy will show that they
understand it wien they vote in 1896.

pice-President Stevenson made a
Fourth OF July speech in Chicago Thurs
day, and in the course Of his remarks
he said something. 1t is little unusual
for a speaker to do that In a Fourth of
July speech. What Mr.. Stevenson said
has peculiar force just now on this
Peninsula. 1t should be read on the
Eastern Shore, where lynch-law is lift,
Ing its beastly head; for it is painful to
read Eastern Shore papers and note how
faint is their condemnation of the lynch
ing of Price and how loud the voice in
which they recount alleged excuses for
the lynchcrs. MI. Stevenson's remarks
are also appropriate at this moment in
Delaware, where so many papers and
politicians have been sowing dragon
teeth by falsely charging that the courts
are partial and partisan. We quote from
the Vice Presidents Fourth OF July
speech and commend it TO the thought.

living on this Peninsula:

After waiting month for the public
to lose accurate memory of tho details
of what the Attorney General had said,
the last edition Of the Republican
Glesses" contains the following rldlcu-
lous bundle Of Misrepresentation.

in q position to render great public ar
vice. lie may be able to make the Att0r.
ney-General reverse himself again.
Careful readers will not fail to notice
that the constitutlonality Of the statute
was never in question. The question
was simply whether the statute was suf-
tclently explicit. The Attorney. General
told Governor Marvil and Governor
Watson the same thing; namely, that it
is of doubtful aud uncertain meaning.
When he advised Governor Maryil the
Legislature was in session and he adj
vised action by the Legislature to make
the meaning certain by enactment. When
ne advised Governor Watson the Legis-
lature had adjourned, and lie advised
that the doubt still existing be taken to
the court for solution.
1t is worth while for people who wish
to judge pubic officials according to
truth and not upon statements filled
with the very essence OF falsehoad, to
note how false the statements of "Re.
