Changes in our Constitution bid fair to
cost some thousands Of dollars moro than
the people are prepared to pay at the pres.
ent time. Like other good things, refor
matory measures como high. 1t is ques.
tionable, however, whether the advantages
gained by the changes are worth to the
people anything like the cost incurred in
making them. The lesson taught will
not soon be forgotten and the people will
be rather tardy to call another Constitu.

WILMINGTON furnishes two thirds OF the
amount of revenue paid into the State
Treasury to meet the expenses Of the State
and still Wilmington is denied representa-
ton according to population. Without
the money collected in the city of Will
mington, tho State Treasury would be
empty twothirds of the year, and Kent
and Sussex politicians have nothing to
fight about. 1t is nearly time our citizens
were awakening to the fact, that Whining
ton and New Castle county should unite,
irrespective of political utilization and
elect tho principal officers of the State.
The two lower counties should for once be
given dose Of their own medicine which
they have been administering to the al
ready overburdened tax payers of this
county. We should like to see it tried

Encourage Your Own.

Every resident OF our city should make
it a point to buy all goods, wares and mer-
chandise from the various dealers in our
city. In this way a degree of prosperity
may be assured. 1t is folly for any one to
go to Philadelphia to purchase goods Of
any kind, as the competition among our
home merchants is so great as to reduce
prices to the lowest living rates. Let all
who think Of going to Philadelphia to
make purchases, count the fare required,
the loss of time, ETC., and they will find
they had much better have bought furni.
ture, dress goods and groceries of our home
merchants, as by doing SO they would save
money. We hope the wealthy residents
OF our city will consider this matter, and
determine to spend their money at home.
The mechanics and workingmen should
also patronize those who patronize them

make improvements and the good things

Not Controlled by Silver.

Russias exports of grain, according to
the latest advices, have amounted to only
about TO per cent this year of those of
1896, the total of all kinds of grain
amounting to 143,000,000 bushels during
the first eight months Of the present year.
When there is added to this fact the ex-
IRENE shortage in the crops OF this year,
it is apparent that Russia will do little if
any exporting and supplying the markets
Of the world, to which India, Australia
and Argentina will contribute little, if
anything, thus leaving the United States
the chief food supply OF those sections
which have to go outside their own terri
tory for grain. This accounts for the adj
vance in the price OF wheat, and sustains
the claim Of the Republicans in the last
fall campaign that the prices Of wheat de-
pend upon supply and demand, and are
not controlled by or related to the use OF
silver

Trusts and Free Trade.

Under protection, when business thrives
and confidence reigns, men do not wait
long to compete with, and break down, II
trust which charges eXorbitant prices.
Under free trade, when business is para
lyzed and confidence blasted, men do not
put their money into new enterprises, and
consequently those who are already estab-
lished in any business have things all
their own way with what business is left
to them. They have no fear Of competing
rivals to kill their trade when the demand
is light. The cotton tie trust acted on this
knowledge, and the result was $1.35 per
bundle for ties which they are willing to
sell to-day for 30 cents per bundle. 1t is
time for the free traders to drop their
cry that protective tariff fosters trusts;
not because the facts are against them
that is never any reason for free trader
to drop charge-but because the facts
are getting too well known to let the lie
go longer u.detected by the people at
large

Straws from the Pos Office.

The records OF the New York postolice
show that nearly ten thousand more do
nestle money orders were paid at the
general Office in the first two weeks of
August this year than in the same time
last year. These money orders have,
without doubt. in most cases been sent
to pay for goods ordered from New York
merchants by persons living elsewhere.
This means that nearly ten thousand peo-
pie who were not buying goods from New
York dealers in August last year are buy
ing this year. Straws show which way
the wind blows, and this is one OF the
straws which mark the coming Of what
promises to be a hurricane which will
sweep the country into such prosperity
as will give the devoted band of free
traders bad dreams for many day.

preaching State campaign. Despite the
mir of righteousness given to the commit
tees discovery that it was clearly with
out authority to write a party platform,
its failure TO express last Wednesday even
the smallest opinion on public questions
bears all the earmarks OF deliberate and
studied policy. Moreover, the plausible
excuses for lodging reaiiirmation of the
Chicago platform so obligingly furnished
to Senator Murphy by Chairman Jones Of
the Democratic National Committee fail
wholly to obscure the main fact that the
Democratic organization in the foremost
State of the Union practically hauled
down the silver flag when, by a policy of
inaction and silence, it committed itself
to conducting a State campaign on lines
which virtually ignore the declarations ac-
cepted year ago as Democratic faith by
the national convention at Chicago.

German law was In force and cotton ties
were on the free list. but the price was
$1.35 per bundle at wholesale. This year
we have the Dingley bill and protective
tariff on cotton ties and they are offered
at 20 cents bundle at wholesale. These
facts do not seem to work in with the
Cleveland parrot cry that "the tariff is
wx." These facts, too, are OF themselves
a sufficient refutation of the other free
trade falsehood scattered so broadly and
so constantly, that a protective tariff fos-
tiers trusts. Last year. under free trade,
there was cotton tie trust; this year, un-
der protective tariff, the trust is broken.

BRYAN REvERSES HIMSELF.
ImDertinence and Effrontery that
Would Shame a Street Fakir.

A year ago w. j. Bryan was travelling
back and forth across the American con-
tinent declaring that the law Of supply
and demand had nothing whatever to do
with the prices Of American products, and
that the only hope for advancement out Of
the condition of industrial prostration was
through the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. Now he is campaigning among the
same people with the unreseryed declara-
ton that government policies, legislation,
financial systems, ETC., have nothing what
ever to do with the price of products, but
that they are governed solely by the law
of supply and demand.
1t would not be so bad if Mr.. Bryan re-
manned content with reversing himself.
But with an impertinence and effrontery
that would make patent medicine fakir
ashamed Of himself he proceeds to reverse
all Of the American people who did not
agree with his highpopalorum theory of a
year ago. Everywhere and upon all oc-
cations the Republicans insisted during
the campaign of 1896 that the price Of
products was governed by the law Of sup
ply and demand. Now Mr.. Bryan is striv-
ing to make it appear that the Republic
cans have abandoned their contention Of
a year ago and are claiming that the adj
vance in the price of wheat and corn is
solely due to Republican legislation and
not to the operations Of the law of supply
and demand. This is false and Mr.. Bryan
knows it is false. Because he has come
over on to Republican ground is no rea-
son why he should seek to drive the Re
publicans on to Populist ground which he
has Observation-Disclosures City Journal.

"PROvlOED" AND Of"
Stand in the Way of that Silver and
Bank of England Story.

What the Bank of England proposes to
do about silver was formally and authori-
tatively stated yesterday at the sem-an-
nual meeting OF the bank by the Governor,
who read letter he had written to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, stating, in
substance, that the bank was prepared to
do what it was permitted to do by the
bank act OF 1914, that is, to carry one
fifth of the reserve against its notes in
silver, provided, however, that the French
mint is again opened to the free coinage
OF silver land that the price at which sill
yer is procurabe and salable is satsfac-
tory" The Governor went on to say that
the bank had bought no silver, and all that
it had agreed TO was to do what is per-
missible under the act Of 1874, on the con-
ditions he stated. This is some slight en-
enlargement to bimetallists, but not
enough to excite them.-Louisville Com

A Marked Contrast.

What a marked contrast exists between
conditions in the United States to-day and
those OF the corresponding period of Presi-
dent Cleveland's last term. -Four years
ago, with low tariff staring the manu-
facturers Of the country in the face, bust
ness was going to everlasting smash,
banks breaking, railroads going into the
hands of receivers, factories closing, and
workingmen thrown out of employment
by the hundreds of thousands. Now hun
dreds Of thousands of workingmen are
finding additional employment. railroads
are ordering thousands Of new cars to
meet the demand upon them for trans
portation OF manufactures, mechandise
and grain, the banks report larger deposits
and larger clearings than in many years,
and instead Of silent factories. there are
clouds of smoke and the hum of busy
wheels everywhere.

SOUTHERNS CONTROL.
CringinG Northern Mudsills Not In
Management of the Party.

Senator Jones Of Arkansas, the boss of
the Democratic party, appears to be
ready letter writer. He recently sent one
to the Democratic State Committee of
New York, in which he declared it would
be ''impolitc" to indorse the Chicago plat
form. But he has written other letters.
For instance, one was produced yester-
day in which he urged an entirely differ
ent policy from that he advocated on
Wednesday, The letter in question was
written to James O'Brien, formerly sheriff
Of New York, and in it Mr.. Jones said:
sincerely hope that genuine and loyal
Democrats get control OF the organization
In your State. 1t occurs to me that 1t would
be wise for a State convention 10 be assem-
bled next fall for the purpose of making the
one nomination needed and to organize the
machinery Of the party; but Of course | have
no connection with your State organization
and don't know just what would be proper
for me to say or do In that connection, or
whether should say anything at all.
The result of this veering around is
that the Bryanites are ncensed with
Jones and are saying ugly things about
him. Nevertheless Jones is the boss Of
the party, and feels that it is within his
province to go around with the wind and
generally do as he pleases. For Jones is
from the South, and the South is in the
Democratic saddle, and as faithful and
subservient creatures of the South, the
Democrats OF New York obey his orders.
AS THE Journal" repeatedly has declar-
ed, we are going to see history repeat
itself, and find the Democracy OF the
North again the plable, submissive, cring-
ing tool OF the South. In his speech at the
fair grounds recently, Senator Tillman de-
cared that this condition of affairs must
be brought about, and the deXterous speed
shown by the Democratic State Com
mittee in obeyng Mr.. Jones instructions
proves that the Democracy Of New York,
in spite Of the decadence Of national leaG-
ers, is prepared to resume its old position,
and to come at the beck and call of the
South. lbany Journal.

The Shipping Question.

Shipping is the one industry that Eng
land protects; shipping is the one indus
try that the United States does not pro-
tect. Last year the total tonnage OF new
vessels launched by Great Britain was
over million tons the total tonnage Of
new vessels launched by the United States
was less than one-tifth Of that of Great
Britain. No wonder England is mistress
of the seas. 1t certainly is high time for
us to take lesson from England and to
protect cur merchant marine. and so dis
,pute with England her control of the
carrying trade OF the world. as we are
already beginning to dispute her suprem-
acy in the markets OF the world in the
sale OF manufactured products.
