that mutual benefits will arise from
the establishment of cluser trado rela-
tions between Wilmington aud the rural
sections of the Peninsula, il We will
buy from them and they will buy from
us, the money will be constantly in
circulation and the volume Of trade will
increase many fold. 1t will really he
a regular dividing un Of tho wealth Of
the Peninsula, and everyone will have
his share OF the great purchasing
medium, and the power to buy what il
needed.
When money flows but one way. the
section from which 1t flows ia i'm
poverishod; but IL it flows back and
forth it enriches all with every rise and
fall Of the tide; for it carries with it
the necessaries and Injuries of life, and
u stimulus to labor and productivenesa.
Ii stands 10 reason that il the money
OF particular section OF the country
passes into certain hands and stays
there, sooner or later somebody cleo
will be sadly in need OF it. Tho hoard
ing of wealth lends to staguation in
business. That country ia the most
prosperous which enjoys the greatest
freedom of trade among its people, For
instance, on April 9Th, the people of
tho lower part of the Peninsula will
come here to Wilmington on the special
excursion that is being arranged for,
and doubtless several thousands of
dollars will be spent for merchandise.
They will take their purchases home
with them. A few days later the people
of Wilmington will need poultry, eggs,
butter, and the many other food pro-
ducts Of the Peninsula. The money
which the Peninsula people may spend
here will go back to them and we will
get what we need in return. Then the
people of the Peninsula will have their
money again, and they will visit our
city once more and purchase what they
need. This is real reciprocity in trade,
and there is practically no end to its
benefits.
But let these Peninsula people take
their money to Philadelphia aud spend
it and it seldom, IL ever. cJmes back
to them. The rural sections OF Penn
| sylyania and New Jersey enjoy it after
it leaves the hands OF the Philadelphia
merchants, and it passes entirely out
Of the channels OF Peninsula circulation
and trade. This is the greEt injustice
these down State people do to them.

from the State to purchass things which
they might get here, and the same
argument applies to Baltimore, although
it enjoys a smaller percentage of the
Peninsula trade.
In fact, every evidence that can be
advanced is in favor Of our Peninsula
brethren doing thoir shopping In Viii

the money in the family" 1t is GUS

that all this talk about the midget turn

England is probably more responsible
tor the introduction Of the gear case for
-pr'ckct and chain protection than any
other country. Today it is very much
in use there and threatens to become
popular here. It's drawback is its clum-
siness, but now English makers have
succeeded in taking away the 'trucky'
appearance by introducing a half gear
case.
For the first time since The worlds

missing the national championship meet

indianapolis early in August.
At the famous Bellcair track Yesterday
the foreign flyers took everything in

open races Jean Gougoltz, Of Paris.
France, won both the mile open and the
haf-lnile handicap. In the mile open
Brown made quarter-mile sprint that,
in the face Of the strong wind, killed
him, so that Gougoltz had little trouble
in winning at the finish, although he
got himself into II bad pocket. August

1t is cruel fate that brings Walter
Brodie and Watkins, the new manager
Of the Pirates, together after such Il long
absence. The last time they worked for
the same firm was during the season Of
1888, when Watkins managed the st.
Louis team. For no good reason he
succeeded in having Brodie sold to the
Baltimore Club for 500. Brodie made Il
big reputation as an Oriole and played
in the field with the pennant winners
for three years. He then went to Pitts
burg as II part of trade, but now Wat
kins looms up and proceeds to lay plans
for his sale, offering him first for 81 900
and now for 500. What did Brodc
ever do to deserve it?
