Better Times Already.
The Dlngley tariff bill was passed by
the Senate at 8 0s p. IN. on Saturday and
after another perfunctory visit to the
House, the measure was transmitted to
tho President, by whom it was signed at
404 p, NJ, so that 1t Is now law of the
land. Already the grain and stock mar.
kets have received greater boom than
they have experienced for years. President
Mckinley Is happy and will now take his
vacation well pleased with the enactment
Of the tariff bill In less than five months
after he had taken the oath of office.
verything thus far has worked for the
good Of the Presidents promises to the
people before tho last election. The Ding.
ley bill ,s expected to place enough revenue
In the Treasury to enable the Government
topay its running expenses and stop ef-
fectually the issuing Of bonds to keep up
gold reserve The silver fanatics will thus
have their mouths closed by the steady in
crease In the gold reserve. The price OF
wheat has jumped up and stocks and Sc
curitiss have advanced several million dol.
lars thus helping along the good times
The Dingley bill Is supposed to raise rove
nue. enough to run the government. Tho
Wilson bill did nothing but create def.
plenoy and beggar labor and make soup
houses necessity to feed the poor
It made possible the strength Of the FREQ
silver party that came near being victor.
Ious with VIM. Jennings Bryan as their
dol at the last election. 1t made possible
The present cheap prices, with money scarce
md hard to get hold Of But with the
passage Of the Dingley bill, the workshops
will boom once moro with work and there
will DO more money to purchase what is
needed 1t will be the means of nccban-
Ice earning more wages and thus enabling
him and his family to live like Americans
and not like serfs. 1t will insure the re.
plection of Mckinley and Hobart in 1900.
THE Rev. Sam Small, who is conducting
the local option campaign in our city, is
trying to make things lively for the liquor

buns who are sent over monthly to the
Stone pile by Judge j. Frank Ball he will
earn the gratitude Of the citizens of Will
mington and newspaper reporters in par
ticular, who grow weary Of hearing his
honor say 30 days at the stone pile. The
county could well afford to pay Sam Small
