TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA.
The Spanish-American Ambassadors
OF Trade who lately attended the
opening OF the Commercial Museums in
Philadelphia, and who are now touring
the country, have told us nothing more
than we knew before in asserting that
there a a trade worth millions of dol
lars a year awaiting United States
enterprise in Mexico and Central and
South America. The greater part of
the trade OF Spanish America now goes
TO Europe. The reason that it does so
has been explained by the visiting dele
gates Our business men do not give
long enough credits, and there are no
adequate means of transportation be-
tween the three Americas. Furthermore,
our laws are not such as to invite close
trade relations with our Southern
neighbors.
The reason the merchants manufac-
turers and other business men of the
United States do not give long credits
The Spanish Americans want from six
to twelve months-is that they have
heretofore found a fair market for their
money where it would give quicker re-
turns. They have been accustomed to
making their bills thirty, sixty and
ninety days, and thus turning their
money over often and securing larger
profits; for the Spanish-Americans de-
mand the use of capital at a low rate OF
interest. The money centres OF this
country are at the North, and capital
lists there have found that they could
do more with their money in the South
and West than in Central and South
America. The capitalists OF Europe
had no such field as the South and the
! West offered to the North, and they
were willing to accept the low interest
and long time debts the Spanish
! Americans.
OF later years. however, the money
centres Of the United States have begun
to look out for new fields in which tC
invest their accumulations of capital
The South and the West are beginning
to be a bit more independent; they are
accommodating considerable money o
their own, and are using i
for the development of theil
own resources. The Northerners
therefore, are casting an eye to thu
Spanish-speaking sections Of the CONT
nent as a promising feld.-Savannal

JUSTICE TO THE COUNTRY.

For many years the county assessment
Of rural properties. and particularly
farm lands, has been excessive and un-
just, and the Levy Court is TO be com
mended for taking the radical step so
long demanded. That the farmers Of
New Castle county have been paying
more than their fair share Of taxes dur
ing the last ten years no one can deny.
While city properties have increased
in value, there has been steady and
ruinous decrease in the values of farm
lands. But the assessment lists have
not been changed from year to year TO
conform with the increase of shrink
age The books Of one assessor have
been handed down to his successor as
a labor-saving heritage. until the pro-
test against the practice could nc
longer be ignored. Something had TO
be done. There was but one rightful

thing to do. That was to make new
assessment OF every property in the
county. This the Levy Court instruct
ed the assessors to do. While the re-
suit has been a decrease of 81. .163, ,346 in
the valuation OF rural property and a
probable increase in the tax rate the
county over, no word OF criticism can
be uttered by any person who is actu-
ated by honest motives.
City and county have interests in
common and which are reciprocal. The
welfare OF one is the welfare of the
other. II the country districts have
been paying more than their just share
Of the money necessary to conduct the
county government they have a right to
relief. Taxation should be equitable the
county over. and under the new ASSESS
ment II will be. If the Levy Court will
make its appropriations as low as pub
lie interests Will permit, the people will
cheerfully pay the increased rate in
preference to having new floating
debt created only to be funded at scme

Let us consider for a moment how
unjust the Assessment in the rural hun
dreds has been. Taking the difference
between the hand-me-down assessment
Of 1896 and the new assessment of 1897
the decrease in values is shown to be

The High School bells no more ara
ringing,
To call our class within its door.
And we tonight our farewell singing
Shall meet as students here no more.
AS this glad day was drawing nearer,
Our schooldays fast and faster flew,
And school and schoOl-life now seem
dearer
Than e'er before. since we are
through.
We meet you here with faces bright,
For this is our class-day night;
And we, the Ninety-seven class
Who from our school-life now must
pass
Ask that your best wishes may
Go out with us upon Life's way
Our busy life at school is ended,
We scarce have noticed Times swift
roll,
So closely toll and pleasure blended
And we at last have reached the goal
So here tonight at our commencement
We who with High School life are
done,
All greet you here e'er our last part
ing
For other work muss be begun.
But we tonight whove met together
With glee, and merliment, and cheer
Have one sad thought-that now for
ever
We all must leave our school-lif
dear.
A boUndless future lies before us,
But as we look. we see it glow,
| The influence our school has DER US,
Forever in our life will show.
