The eye may be compared. In a general
way, to a camera The act OF seeing
was involved in mystery until the great
astronomer, Kepler. first recognized the
fact that the eye IS a camera and, as
such, is subject To the same physical
laws as any other optical instrument.
Images OF external objects are formed
by the eye exactly as they are formed
by a photographers apparatus: In the
latter they fall upon a chemically sensi-
tive plate and are made permanent BY
the chemical changes induced by light.
in the eye, they fall upon the nervously
sensitive retlna, and their impression IS

The business men who are at this
time discussing some method by which
the trade Of the people down the State
may be attracted to Wilmington have a
very interesting subject to think over.
Thera can be no denying that very
large percentage of business through
the State goss elsewhere instead of
coming here, ami all the discussion that
can be INDUCED in from now until tho
end of time will cot change tire course
OF this business.
1t may seem strange, hut it 10 never
tneaas fact that the people down tho
State are but slightly acquainted with
the advantages which Wilmington offers
in business way. 1t is not their
fault that this is SO. They arc willing
TO learn, but there must be someona TO
teach them. In these days OF business
competition trade goes where ii ie in
vitsd, and the business man who sits at
his desk and folds bis arms and expects
trade to come his way without tine least
solicitation is doomed to uisappoiut-
nent. lie may not think SO now, hut
he will realize ii in tine days to come.

nov Handily HANDY Comes In.

In the State Senate, Tuesday after
noon, II was decidsd, by bare ma
iority Of the total vote OF the body,
to let down the bars erected against the
admission OF any business but that

tion, far enough to permit of the con
sideration OF the proposed new charter
for Wilmington. And one OF the five
affirmative votes was that OF Senator

In connection with our proposed new
city charter, it il we'll known that cor

striving TO have it enacted at the
present adjourned session, and in a
shape to suit themselves. They do not

which aims to provide for non partisan
form of government. They propose 10

But while the SUCCESS or failure OF

that in their initial move they are

In the event that the Legislature at
its present session decides to open tho
doors to business Of any and all kinds,
the attempt will no doubt be made to
put the Adams Tax law in shape
that will render II operative. At
present, owing to its defective con
atruction, those entrusted with its
execution are entirely at sea with re
spect to its true meaning and intent.
And when the work of amendment is
started, 1t should not be stopped until
the act is amended out of existence.
The law is entitled IAN Act to
Equalize Taxation" but as a matter of
fact it would do nothing of the kind.
On the contrary, it would work in
justice to many people. particularly to
thu largest class of borrowers in the
State, now overburdened and least able,
and who would PROFESSIONALLY have to
pay the tax provided by this law. And
this class comprises the farmers OF
Delaware.
The prevailing rate OF interest in this
part of tho Stats for money loaned on
bond and mortgage secured by landed
property is ) per cent, and the legal
rate is 6 per cout. The borrower. there
fors, will have to pay the tax if this
law prevails, in the shape of interest
at the rate Of 5l4 per cent per annum,
at tho very least, for the loaner will not
lead at 8 per cent and pay the tax. too
Since the enactment OF the law, loans
have been made at this rate which
could have been effected easily at 8 per
cent had it not been for the threat OF
the law. Therefore, even If the loaner
pays tho tax directly to this States
others, the borrower pays it indirectly
through the increased interest charge.
While all classes of borrowers will
suffer imposition should this law pre-
vail, tho farmers Of the State will be
most severely affected, by reason OF
being more generally required to resort
to loans. They are therefore more
particularly interested, and should exert
their influence with the members OF
the Legislature to have the unjust law
Internationally repealed.
