Tho Delaware Maryland Peninsula
has good many advantages for money
making as well as for comfortable liv-
ing. Its peach crop is not yet fully
marketed and now its oyster crop comes
on. The oysters of the Chesapeake
and Delaware bays and their tributary
streams, are said to yield more money
to those who catch them than comes
from the gold mines of California. Both
land and water contribute to the
wealth and comfort of peninsular
people.

We often find fault with our old
Constitution. just now we may be
grateful TO it because it does not throw
us into State election every year.
Once in two years is often enough.
Delawareans this year can look on and
smile at the political turmoil going on
in the States all around them, while in
their own little State the cultivation
OF good fellowship continues and bust
ness can have uninterrupted attention.
Indeed, the year 1885 seems TO be one
of the best Of years in which to
hold no election; for the elections of
this year are generally making ducks
and brakes Of the political parties
fractional wrangling is occurring
everywhere. In New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio the Republicans arc
afoul of each other with hammer and
tongs. In Maryland and Kentucky the
Democrats are in one another's hair,
pulling with might and main. To-day
we have news from far away Iowa in
dicating that the same factional cleo
tricity is in the air out there. A dis
patch from Winterset, Iowa, says that
three thousand ballots have been cast
in the Adair and Madison county Re.
publican Senatorial convention with
out result. The convention is still in
session in the woods on Middle river,
between the two counties, each of
which has II delegates and candi-
late. 1t is held in the woods, because
neither county would consent to its
being held in the other county. Hence
the chairman sits with foot in each
county, and the delegations are di
vided by the line. The place Of conven-
tion is ten miles from railroad or
town, and the news from il is carried
to Winterset by courier. AS we con.
template the convention on Middle
river, in the woods of Iowa, with its
chairman astride the county line, we
realize all that we have missed and
bless our year Of rest. Every calamity
missed ia "A blessing received. What
ever other mistake may have been
made in our Constitution, tho mistake
Of having an election every year was
avoided.

The Wilson Tariff bill was one year
old Wednesday. In commemoration of
the event. the New York f" world''
published a carefully prepared table,
showing the results in the industrial
world under its operation. 1t was
uniform story Of an advance in the
wages Of labor and reduction in the
prices Of the necessaries of life
In contrast with this admirable show
ing, the World also published, side
by side, table illustrating the indus
trial situation after the Mckinley Tariff
bill had been in operation one year.
Result, strikes, reductions of wages,
industrial depression and increases in
the cost Of the necessaries Of life. In
each instance the record was made up
with names ofplaces and ruling market
quotations, and no mere hap hazard
assertion without proof was attempted.
This is an object lesson that i'm
presses the truth of the maxim that the
people cannot be enriched by taxation.
Tho Mckinleybill increased the burdens
of taxation, and the people suffered
accordingly The Wilson bill reduced
peoples taxes, and almost immediately
the condition of business began to i'm
prove, wages were increased, and the
cost of the necessaries of life began to
fall. From this changed condition
of affairs the people are reaping sub
stantial benefit, and it is not reason
able to believe that they will consent
to return to the old system Of high tax
alton, disturbed business, reduced
wages and increased cost of living,
They would be blind indeed to vote for
a return to these distressing conditions
at the election next year.

One of tho chief arguments of the
single tax propagandists is that such a
system of taxation as will place all the
tax on land will make rents lower and
wages higher. If this is SO what is to
become of those people who own landf
IL they are to receive less rent and pay
more taS smelly they will be ground be-
tween the upper and neither milestone
OF this new sysetm. The value Of land
is like the value of stocks, bonds or any
other property; it depends on its earn
ing power II the possible net in
come from land is to be reduced be :
cause the tax the land lord pays is to
be increased while the rents are to he
reduced then this proposed single tax
would gradually work confiscation OF
the land by the State" Seaford News. -"
The News, in the above extract,
points out the certain effect of the
single tax. Indeed, to confiscate the
land is the chief avowed purpose of
the sinlge takers. But they would not
do the work gradually. They would
do it instantly. They propose to put
tax on land values heavy enough to
amount to full rent for it. The man
who now owns land in fee simple,
might still hold it under the single
tax; but he would hold it simply as a
renter from the State. His deed would
amount to nothing more than a leases;
for he would have to pay to the State
full rent for the land he holds. This
rent is what they call single tax. The
whole scheme starts out with the prop
osition that the men who now own land
hold it as SO many robbers, and there
fore IT is proposed to take the land
away from them. The people of Della
ware are at bottom honest, and when
they learn that the proposition is to
take away from landholders the prop
erty which they have paid for and hon
estly own, single tax will have no at
fractions for them.

Indications are found on all sides by
the st. Louis Chronicle that the trade
in st. Louis during the coming fall
will be record breaker. Manufactur-
ers and wholesale establishments, il
says, are increasing their working forces
to fill orders pouring in from the South
and West and from the circumiacept
territory North and East. Great stocks
of all kinds are being laid in by the
far-sighted country merchant. He sees
an unprecedented fall trade at the
doors. A consideration of that tlepres-
ion of 1893 in connection with the pres.
emit condition of trade is interesting
only historically. The spring of 1884
saw recuperation. The fall of 1894
saw a normal condition of things, and
the fall of 1895 will see unexampled ac-
tivity.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DELAWARE THURSDAY SEPTEMBER lsa6

It is not easy for one man to follow
another mans trade with success.
Burglars have no trouble in blowing
open safes. They know just whore to
drill the hole and Just how much dyna-
mite to stuff into It, In the middle
of the night they do the job so quietly
that the little bang with which the
safe door pops open scarcely disturbs
the dreams OF the man who is sleeping
next door. But the events of yesterday
demonstrate that William Goldberg
of Sharon, Pa, will mover be able TO ply
the burglar trade with success. He
found the combination Of his cafe out
of order Monday morning He wanted
to get into the safe, which was natural
enough in view of tho fact that he
had si00 in currepcy and IS, 600 in
notes and securities in it. When be
had worn out his patience in attempts
to work the disordered combination,
he took Napoleonic determination to
60 into the safe by main force, la
burglar. He accordingly drilled a hole
In the door and placed therein a recls-
less quantity Of dynamite, which he
ignited by fuse. Mr.. Goldberg and
his two workmen retreated to the back
yard to await results. The results sur
prised them as we'll as good MANY OF
their neighbors. The dispatch to the
Philadelphia Ledger" describes what
happened in the following words:
A conclusion followed which resulted
in badly wrecking his own house and
moving several others in the vicinity
from their foundations
The door Of the safe was blown off
and passed through the wall. The door
went with such terrific velocity that il
struck the cone of Joseph Hickey's
residence,a quarter OF a mile distant,
and passed through four floors, bury
ing itself in the cellar floor. In the
dining room the family were eating
dinner. The door struck and smashed
the table in its descent, but luckily
struck none of the family.
Goldberg and two workmen were rem
dered unconscious, but not seriously in
jured. Five thousands dollars in notes
and securities, and $500 in currency
were in the safe, and all were totally
destroyed.
Mr.. Goldberg's experience is import
ant. 1t shows that every man should
stick to his specially. Business men
who have not had much experience in
blowing open safes should be careful as
to the size OF the dose of dynamite they
give TO diseased combination lock.
Mr.. Goldberg will send for first class
burglar the next time he wants to blow
open his cafe.

The peach growers have a taste of
the revival Of good times. They have
been marketing their fruit at good
prices a large crop Of peaches can
be consumed only by the working peo
pie. There are not enough pcople in
the wealthier classes to eat IN such
crop OF peaches as the present year has
produced, II this crop Of peaches had
come last year when working men we're
haying struggle to buy bread, it
would have gluttcd tho markets. But
tho new Democratic tariff has had
fuil year in which to work out hcnefi-
cent results. 1t has brought employ
mcnt and better wages to the wage
carners, and they now have money not
only Tor bread but also for peaches at
a fair price. The disaster of McKin.
ley times has passed away. Hence the
peach crop has been profitable to the
growers, and in this way the good re
suits Of the work which the Democrats
did in reforming the tariff come di.
rectly home to the pockets of the peo
pie in the lower part of our State. AS
they cast up the figures on the credit
side of their books of bank deposit, it
may be well for them to reflect upon
the howls of calamity with which Re-
publican orators filed their ears last
fail. They now have the best of evil
dence that the Democratic tariff did
not mean ruin for them and that the
calamity bowling was campaign wing
and nothing more. 1t is another illus.
tration that truth is mighty and will
prevail"-if you give it time,
Valkyrie III, Lord Dunraven's Yacht,
has shown our yuchtsmen that she is
a magnificent racing machine The
Defender will defend the cup against
her attempt to take il to England. How
successful the defense may be can not
be foreseen. We have heaten the
Britishers in this high class sport for
some forty odd years, but il does not
follow that we are sure to win again
this year. We shall at any rate meet
DunTaven in the spirit of the true
sportsman and give him race with
the best boat We have, Maybe he will
find that our best is even little better
than his Valkyrie III. That at any
rate is what enthusiastic Americans
will believe until the race settles tho
question.
