to say, the idea of the trainers Of the new

the end that they may obtain Just as
high prices for their product as our
people are able to pay, and at the same

of this country should not lose sight Of
the fact that there is a growing sent1-
ment in the Atlantic industrial centers
in favor Of limited reciprocal trade rela-
tions with countries that produce bread
stuffs and fruits. With reciprocal trade
agreements with Argentina, India and
Southern Russia, all agricultural coun-
tries. the Atlantic manufacturing towns
could receive their breadstuffs and
fruits from those countries at a less
cost than they could be obtained in the
Mississippi valley. That is to say. the
ability of those centers to do that would
enable the Atlantic communities
to hx the price OF the pro-
duct Of American farms and orchards
at what the countries named would lay
It down in New York for, but there
would be no corresponding reduction In
the price Of the products of their mills
and factories to the American farmer
and fruit-grower.

REPUBLICAN RECIPROCITY

The word comes from Washington that
while the new tariff bill will provide for
reciprocal trade relations in some sort
Of q way. the aim will be to have as lit
tie genuine reciprocity as possible. The
Blaine policy was to encourage recipro
cal trade with all countries, and, as a
matter Of fact, II was he who insisted
that the Mckinley act Of 1890 be read
The majority Of the committee having
the new bill in hand do not think as Mr..
Blaine did, and every effort will be made
to handicap trade intercourse with other
nations and there is entire consistency
in adopting such policy. Reciprocity
is simply another name for free trade
and the protectionists know very well
that any very extended application OF
the reciprocal trade principle would
demonstrate to the people the advant-
ages of it, and they would be sure to de-
mand its extension until our information
al commerce was wholly based upon
reciprocal intercourse
MIR. Blaine understood very we'll that
protection without reciprocity would
breed trusts faster than any other one
thing, and he saw, too, that it was nee
essary for this country to gradually ex-
tend its commerce beyond the seas by
adding new articles Of commerce to the
free list until there were no barriers in
the way of America making its CONNER
cial operations penetrate every market
in the world. But the men who are now
directing the legislation of the country
or rather who wlldirect it after Marcl
4th, see in reciprocity a wedge that would
split their party wide open, and they
will do nothing more than play it for DO
litical purposes. The policy of the high
protectionists must nscessardy be ts

INTERNATIONAL BIMETAL.
LISM

A great deal has been said and written
about international bimetallism since
Senator wolcott called upon Mr.. Nc
Kinley and was assured by the president
elect that his administration would do
its utmost TO further the cause of silver
coinage by the commercial nations, but
the following from the Denver Times
makes the best analysis Of the situation
we have seen, and it is we'll worth care
full perusal. The Times says: 1t is
worth while to state the exact condition
of binletallic prospects in the countries
with which the international negotia-
tions will have to be prosecuted. Since
1892, when the last bimetallie conference
was held, the German reichstaS has
adopted a resolution favorable to . re-
newal Of the conferences; SO also has the
French chamber Of deputies.
The Meline ministry is favorable to
the double standard. So also are Messrs.
Balfour and Chaplin, two influential
members Of the Salisbury ministry in
England.
But while the German reichstag seems
thus to stand favorable. the German
chancellor, after months of negotiation
with Great Britain, has declared that
the bimetallists Of his country are right
In holding that the reopening of the In
o. H. <van On ~
must be a condition precedent to any In
ternational action in favor Of the white
metal, but that there is little prospect
that Great Britain will consent to this
move. Also, while France may be said
to be willing to further bimetallic nego-
tiations, the ministry Of that country
refuses to take q step without the CO.
operation Of Germany. Great Britain,
on the other hand, states that while it is
willing to consider the proposition to
reopen the mints, 1t will not proceed to
such a limit without an international
concert In behalf of bimetallism, that
concert to take the form of an interna-
tional bimetallic league. Alate declara-
ton Of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach 10 the
authority for the attitude Of Great Brit
ain.
Thus, it will be perceived that France
is willing If Germany is willing and Ger
many is willing If Great Britain will re-
open the mints Of India to the free coinage
of silver, and Great Britain will reopen
the mints if both France and Germany
will see to 1t that bimetallic league be-
tween the three nations is formed. Be-
yond this situation there Is absolutely no
hope for an international agreement.
But 1t may be said in Senator Wolcott's S
behalf that there is no reason why diplo-
macy should not accomplish union be-
tween three nations, any one OF which is
willing, provided the others are willing.
The United States has not been consid-
cred very actively in the negotiations be-
tween the European powers. but if,
through the committee now existing in
Washington, this country should take
the initiative and invite the European
nations to confer with it, 1t is not impos-
sible that satisfactory results may be

Abraham Lincoln. the martyr president
After review Of the life and work of
Mr.. Lincoln, especially with reference to
his efforts for the abolition of slavery,
Captain Cressey closed his address as
follows:
"In July, 1864. after repeated efforts to
entangle the president in correspond
ence, by unauthorized persons, seeking
to end the war by a compromise of the
great principles it involved and recogni-
ton of the so-called Confederacy, Mr.
Lincoln cut short efforts by tersely say
ing: ANY proposition which embraces
the restoration of peace, the integrity of
the whole Union, and the abandonment
Of slavery. and which comes by and with

Parents Take Notice.

The following came with "School
Notes in previous issue, but reach
ing us late, was with other matter,
crowded out. 1t presents a matter of
importance to parents:
On last Tuesday, quite a number of
pupils from all departments of the
Smyrna Public SchOols-were gathered
in the High School Room, where Prof
LeFevre spoke to them upon the i'm
portance Of thorough school work.
The pupils referred to have not been
dong satisfactory work and the talk
was intended to give them all fair
warning that unless they do better
during the present month, thew will be
placed back into lower grades. The
teachers are determined that thorough
work shall be done, and a.nulnber of
the promotions made last spring were
conditional. 1t was then agreed upon.
that all the pupils failing tOshow salts
factory progress during the month of
September, should be placed back
where they can do better. Out of re-
gard for children who worked in can
ming factories and elsewhere last
month, the probationary period has
been extended until the first of Novem-
ber. 1t would be wise for parents to
see that their children are studying at
home as well as in school. The delin-
quents have our sympathy.

Swear Not at All.

Several Catholic Societies in the do
cese Of Brooklyn have inaugurated
crusade against swearing, and the use
of bad language generally. All sue
cess to the new movement.
Swearing is simply habit-a vulgar
habit, if nothing else-to say naught
of its being senseless. 1t is not always
an evidence of anger, sometimes an ex-
tenuating feature Of its use. Chronic
swearers do so without thinking, and
without any rhyme or reason. There
are sweares and swearers. There is
the mild and occasional swearer who
simply INDUCES in an occasional out
burst in order TO emphasize his feel
ings and to impress his remarks upon
his hearers. Then there is the man
who swears in full round oaths that
CRATE harshly upon the ear and which
indicate that back of the harsh notes
there is fiery temper and feeling of
bitterness that bodies ill. The perpet-
ual swearer is one who uses Oaths more
or less mild in ordinary conversation,
who intersperses his conversation with
obnoxious exclamations that have moth
ing whatever to do with the subject
matter.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized If you need
a medicine you should have the best.

GROWING VANS.
Our Cheswold correspondent sends
us the following:


Our Cheswold correspondent sends
us the following:
John Moore, of Cheswold, has had
some interesting experience in grow
ing the tropical ruit-called yam which
came about in this way. His neigh
Dor H. W. Kirk received late last
spring a barrel of yams from friends
in the Bermudas which came under
Mr.. MoOre's notice who took one
home that his family might see the
curious fruit. He place it in the back
porch of his home thinking but little
more about it until eyes much like
those Of q potato commenced to put
out. He than about Aug. /, planted it
on his farm and thought but little
about it, still until he observed later
growing at the spot plant and about
its innumerable other plants in great
yigOr, much like hop vine Last
Monday he decided he would see the
result of his experiment with yams.
Taking help with him they commenced
digging when they soon found it to be
a solid mass of matted roots which they
concluded was all; "The fruit is not
here, but with renewed energy they
dug like digging around a stump until
down in the earth under the centre of
this mass of roots they found four well
developed tubers about the size and
very similar in appearance to cocoanuts
with tough skin however instead of
shell. Mr.. Moore is greatly interested
since the result of his experiment with
the strange fruit he has buried securely
hoping next year to test what the yam
will do in Delaware climate and soil.
