PROSPERITY

News and Advertiser, Oct. "a.
The Delawarean and the Call are en-
gagged in struggle to make it appear
that the farmers Of Delaware are not
prosperous, the inference being that the
Administration is someway responsible
for the assumed condition. They quote
the price Of wheat at 70 cents and
tomatoes as low as five and then throw
up their hands and exclaim: "Where
is the prosperity that was promised
under McKInleyP" To the intelligent
voter of the present day these appeals
will have little effect, since each reader
will do 3 little thinking for himself.
He knows that the price of wheat is
determined by the worlds supply. He
can tell you that 20 cent wheat has
been made possible by the immense
areas that are nov productive that
were once undiscovered. It is not
news that we now have great competi-
tors, such as the Argentine Republic
and . great territory In Canada stretch.
ing away towards the pole. This has
made 20 cent wheat. A few farmers
have sold their tomatoes as low as i've
cents per basket, but the vast majority
have realized the usual prices. But we
assert that there has beea q greater sum
paid to the farmers Of Delaware for
this fruit during the present year than
ever before. But notwithstanding the
croaking Of our friends, the farmers
have not been more prosperous 10 years.
True they have had no peaches, but
they have had Kieffer pears; Mckinley

From Lewes Pilot, Oct. q. 1889.

From Lewes Pilot, Oct. 21, 1888.
The letter of the U. s. District At
torney Byrne to Editor Downham Is
interesting and consoling. The strong
point in the letter is set forth In this
single sentence: "Shall we now con.
slider what for decade We have con.
demnedp" Our political opponents
naturally feel that the Democrats are
elated at the division In their ranks in
that it may enure to party success.
But we believe that our friends do not
fully appreciate the Democratic senti-
ment which existing conditions have
forced upon them. The success OF the
Democracy is desirable in that It pre-
vents single individual In the attain.
mint of bis personal ambition. It is
desirable also in that It secures to the
people consei We tive and safe admins
tration OF affairs. The dangers that
are concealed in the triumph Of party
which is grasping only after power,
cannot be enumerated nor realized un,
til it shall have attained success and
put into execution the several mears
to re Love all barriers and TO entrench
itself upon the body polite. 1t is in
view Of the political conditions lately
instituted in our State that causes all
true men 10 realize that In the hour Of
peril to the Commonwealth. political
success must be subseryient TO the pub

An Income Over $40 a Minute.

The income which the late Cornelius Van.
deroilt enjoyed during his life was one OF
the largest in the country. Ofhis estimated
wealth of $3.50 O0.O00 it is said that about
$lo,oO0.000 was in unproductivs assets. 1t
was also said that the agerags income on
the remainder was between and per cent.
Calculating m income Of per esnt. on
$l40. 100000, IL would amount to $500, 900
year or $15.342.7 q day. Dividing the
even sum Of SIS. .S42 by 1440, the number of
minutes in 9 day, gives sn income Of about
$lO.65 minute. This would amount to o
little less than Is cents second.
Now, suppose Mr.. Vanderbilt slept seven
hours night-that was said to have been
about his average. While he was thus In
bed, in dreaming nnconsciousness, his in
come would have amounted to $4,475.75.

WHO GOT THE MONEY !?
Addicks's Followers Doubt Him.
Political Peril and Peoples Good.
Mckinley PROSPERITY.
A Plan for Republican Unity Upon Principles not
Upon the SpoiLs.

From Delaware Democrat, Oct. 81, 1899.
There seems to be trouble in the Ad-
dicks camp In Wilmington. Chairman
Stewart was requested to resign and
promptly did so. There were crimina-
tions and recriminations 10 regard to
the last campaign, when such large
sums Of money were expended, and
altogether the scene was not an en-
couraging one for the gas magnate.
Asigni6cant incident of the proceed
ings was the evident lack of faith
shown BY some who have been Mr.. Ad.
dicks Jealous followers. They evil
IDENTIFY know the man better than they
have been supposed to do and are afraid
his methods win be turned to the injury
Of his fiction, If thereby he can be ad.
vanced himself. In other words, they
accuse him Of attempting to make
deal with the Regulars that, in case of
success, will land him and one of the M
10 the Senate. This selfshness upon
his part, that VOL lid betrav those who
have blindly followed him and seize the
spoils for himself alone, Is not at all
pleasing to bis friends, and hence the
outbreak.
1t is also evident that the reconcilia-
tiOn between the Unions and the Regu.
lars is not SO imminent as is pretended.
The Union workers are evidently after
their full share of the spoils, which
they think Is all there is to be had.
They are afraid that a deal Of their |
leader with the Regulars will give the
latter portion Of tie pickings that
should be theirs, and they are not salts
fed with such uni.n. We believe
that the rank and file OF the Regulars
will also be averse to a combination Of
their leaders that would let the Unions
into share Of the offices. The deal
that is feared would be only for the
benefit of the leaders and one or other
Of the factions would be left out In the
c)ld.
There is little chance in this for a
compromise, unless those thus betrayed
should desert their standards and form
new alliances, with different men to
lead them. The power of Addicks'
money Is more to be feared than any
hing else and may get him supporters
20 replace those he loses.
This is, indeed. the worst feature of
he politics of to-day. It is enough to
|et every honest man against him and, [
We believe, will eventually result 10
he overthrow OF his influence 10 this 1
