The fact that many so,called "labor-
leaders, are for Bryan does not indi-
cate that the votes of the wage, workers
will be cast for him. The Chicago
Times Herald points out that there
was convincing evidence of this fact
at the election in that city in 1893.
Judge Gary was opposed by nearly
every labor leader in Chicago Strong
unions passed resolutions against him
and he was generally denounced as an
enemy of labor" But he ran nearly
10, 600 votes ahead of his ticket IN the
county and led in every ward except
two. And this is the way it is likely
to be at the coming election. Labor
leaders do not always lead.

Free silver coinage advocates are
fond Of asserting that Andrew jackson,
if living to-day, would be- an ardent
silVerite. And yet, in letter written
in 1926, acknowledging present of a
gold pen, "Old Hickory" wrote:
1.-THE useful and ornamental purposes
to which gold can be applied are the
properties that give it real value and
render the demand forait universal.
This, with other peculiar qualities,
has made it IN all ages, throughout the
world, the standard of value. There is
no fraud in golr.; like tho honest
principles of the founders of our govern
Inent. who declare by constitutional
provision the precious metals to be the
only money of the republic, it is I'm.
changeable, and will do its Office well
everywhere and at all times; no A Alchemy
can multiply it-no chartered priv.
leges can give sudden and unseen ex,
panson or contraction to its amount.
Nature has set limits and labor imparts
an invariable value to it,"
If Andrew Jackson were alive to day,
and in favor of free silver coinage, il
would be only for the reason that on
account of his great age he would be
IN his dotage.

Query for Delaware farmers: If the
price of silver bullion regulates the
price of wheat, as has been so per-
sistently claimed by the advocates of
free silver coinage, why is it that for
the past three months the prics of
wheat has been steadily advancing,
while the price of silver bullion has
been as steadily on the decline?

Wheat advanced another cent per
bushol, Tuesday, but metal silver still
keeps on the decline. How does this
condition compare with the stock argu-
ment of the silyerites that the price of
silver bullion regulates the price of
wheat?
On July 9th, wheat was quoted at
635s cents per bushel and silver at 6S7s
cents per ounce. Yesterday the highest
quotation for wheat was 791a cents per
bushel, while the price of silver
bullion declined to Gal cents per ounce.
Here are the figures in a small table

That the American mind possesses a
vast stock of latent energy, and when
that is stimulated it becomes exceed
ingly active, and often combative, is
the firm conclusion of the Cincinnati
Post. 1t is the right material for the
processes of education TO the end Of
development. Therefore, the Post con-
tinues, will this campaign prove indeed
campaign of education in the broad
sense of the term? The people will
acquire much valuable knowledge of
finance, tariff, trade and related topics,
and they will acquire facility in the
use OF the faculties of memory and
reason which cannot but prove an aid
TO truth and guide TO wisdom. Edu-
cation broadens. Breadth of view
makes charitable. Charity unifies a
community into feeling of brother
hood and common patriotism. The
good of all is recognized as the good of
each. With this feeling dominant it is
safe to trust the people for the result
the people to whom Lincoln pinned his
faith in that hour, the darkest in his
and yours and our country's history.
Let the campaign of education 60 on.
1t will prove the salvation of the
Union.

1t has not been many months since
the bumptious Sussex journal of
Georgetown was an ardent advocate of
sound money. An extract from its
editorial columns of March 21st, I'M
earthed by its neighborly contemporary,
the Sussex Republican, reads as follows:
From all appearances Mckinley seems
to he leading int Presidential race.
at least as far sthe stamp on the dele
gates so far chosen would indicate.
The platform of Mckinley on the pro-
lection question has been repudiated
by the people of the land, but he is
ready with another stradolle-the two
horned bull of bimetalism. And on
this false and double front the Repub-
licsn marty hopes to win next fall.
All this may be good politics for
William but the people will repudiate
his silver platform as they have done
his protection platform.
Nov the Sussex Journal is one of the
widest advocates of free silver coinage
in the land. 1t is surprising how a
reputable newspaper can so completely
change it's principles, from the mere con-
sideration of marty policy.

During this period, wheat advanced
in price lbs cents per bushel, while
silver decreased AS cents per ounce.
At Tuesdays quotation, the bullion
in the silver dollar is now worth only
about 1875 cents. Our silver dollar is
not even fifty cent dollar" to day,
without the sustaining power of our
government, already strained to the
utmost limit, to keep it at par.
The fallacy that the price of silver
bullion regulates the price of wheat
has thus been niIectually disproved by
the logic Of cold facts. What argument
can now be presented by the siverites
to induce Delaware farmers to vote for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver?

On the frat page of to-day's paper
will bs found letter from Thomas +.
Bayard Of Delaware, Ambassador of
the United States to Great Britain, TO
Mr.. Samuel Bancroft, IT., OF this city,
which We commend to the careful
attention Of every reader Of The
Gazette.
Tbs letter needs no comment 1t
speaks for itsslf. 1t shows how
true Democrats cannot conscient iously
support Bryan and Sewall; cannot con-
sistently vote for Mckinley and
Hobart; but can loyalty and heartily
give their votes to those representatives
Of sound Democracy Palmer and
Buckner.
II is not conceivable that the widest
supporter OF Bryan Populsm will
endeavor 10 discount the force
and effect Of this letter by daring to
assert that Mr.. Bayard is not Demo-
crat. He is Democrat of Democrats.
He was champion of Democratic
principles 10 the darkest days of the
party's history--in days when the iron
rule OF the then majority party sought
TO stifle every manifestation of Demo-
cratic sentiment. He was a Democrat
through all the vicissitudes Of the
party, until IL finally achieved com
plete political power in this country.
And he was never more Of a Democrat
than he is to day.
We hope every Democrat in the coun-
try may read Ambassador Bayard' 8
letter, and follow the sound advice
therein set forth.

our people here know something
practically. When those who are
specially interested tried to approach
General Smith in reference to the
work he would in very ungentle-
manly and gruf manner drive them
from him and only Two or three, aud
these men who were not specially
interested, could get his ear. While
our vessel owners and captains could
not get an audience with him di-
rector or an official of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad always could com
mand his closest attention. In the face
of all this General Smith digs and
delves and delves and digs and the
rivers mouth is ruined as a result
Does it not impress all as being
strange. such state Of affairs and
such a result? OF all the many
thousands of dollars used in pro
posed improvement the result is just
the opposite of what was proposed
and what was expected. There is
something wrong in Denmark OF
somewhere else nearer home and II
is duty the department at Wash

gate the work done at the Mispil
lions mouth and to refuse longer t.

now generally admitted that Gov.
Mckinley will have a good lead on
the first ballot but that he will not
have enough to nominate him. The
conundrum that is most discussed is,
will he gain after the first ballot 2
His supporters say he will, and his
opponents that he will not, and both
are ready to present argument to
prove that they are right. Speaker
Reed will be second in strength on
the first ballot,
Milford chronicle., 1896-04-03

THE Republicans of this State are
almost unanimous for Mckinley for
President. He is representative of
all that the party stands for and
should be nominated by acclama-
ton as he would undoubtedly be ii
the people had their own way and
were not influenced, led and driven
by the politicians in the different
States. The people want Mckinley
and he will be nominated in the face
Of the politicians, and as a nomina
ton is equal to an election, William
Mckinley, Jr., will be the next
President of the United States. Pro-
lection will be the campaign cry =
protection to the farmer and the
neutrality-suspicious. to America
as against all the world. The few
who are free traders in this cOun-
try will probably find some one to
run against Mckinley but as yet no
man has been found who is willing
to stand up against certain defeat
Mr.. Bayard might be brought out
and would no doubt accept the nom
inatiOn of his party. He would be
a fitting candidate. Mr.. Mckinley
representing the American idea and
Mr.. Bayard the English.
Why not put Bayard against Nc
Kinley? The Democrats are as
much at sea in Delaware as they
are in the Nation. They see defeat
staring them in the face at home
and they are at loss what to do,
who to nominate or which way to
turn. They are desperate, indeed so
desperate and so lost to all thst is
fair and honorable that they turn to
their old tricks in their desperation.
The DISTINGUISHING of hundred or
two Republicans will not affect the
result. This State is Republican in
a fair election, and a fair count, by
8 large majority, and it will take
more than a hundred votes in each
county to change the result, The
DISTINGUISHING of the men who
wished to qualify will prove a boom
erang to the Democratic party, az
the EUeaing journal well says in
an editorial which we publish in an
other column. The campaign of the
present year will be be hard fought
one in this little State but the hand
writing is on the wall and people
of all parties see it. Delaware is
Republican and will so vote in 1885,

enough to get vessels in or out be-
fore General Smith began to use the
governments money in improving
it, but now il is simply abominable,
and how any sane man, even II he
we're without experience could go
ahead and succeed so well in running
the rivers mouth, is a mystery to
all concerned. We are tired and
sick of Directing to the way Cen
eral Smith conducted this work,
but it is believed that he is incom-
petent and ought to be put out of
his present position of responsible
ity. Thousands upon thousands Of
dollars have been spent in this work,
enough to have given a good mouth
if sensibly used, and the river is
simply ruined and all by General
Smiths obstinacy; for it is believed
that he went ahead with the work in
his own way against the advise OF
the other engineers who are asso

work of clearing out our river, and
certain is it that he would not listen
