CAMPAIGN CHEAPLY RUE

A member of the Republican National
Committee who helped to manage the
Eastern headquarters in New York
during the campaign just closed said yes
terday, in discussing the cost of the cam
paign: Gone of the surprising things in
connection with this campaign is that
the National Committee handled and
spent less than half of what it did four
years ago. In 1896 every business man
was thoroughly frightened at the thIeat-
ened debasement of our currency, and
campaign contributions came with great
freedom and in large figures. With
great deal of money to spend the National
Committee did not hesitate to lay it out
in liberal fashion in legitimate ways.
The speakers received larger sums for
their services than ever before in the his
tory of a National campaign, and there
were more stars arguing for US than
ever before. All these stars, as we some
times call them, got their own prices.
They knew we had the money, and some
of them bled us. The money flowed freely
in 1896. The distribution of literature
cost us very great sum four years ago,
too. ''This year the campaign was fought
out like we'll planned battle. The money
was used on speakers and literature
where it was most needed. The speakers
were more intelligently deployed and
gave more service than four years ago.
The volume of literature was smaller, but
it was of higher grade. The trust issue
loomed up formidably for a time and
made us hustle. But as soon as we got
the facts before the people the tide turned
again in our favor, and before the end of
the next four years there will be such a
complete understanding of the growth,
development and conduct of great indus
trial combinations, oftimes mistakenly
called trusts, that if the Democrats want
to fight campaign on trusts for their
leading issue, we will whip them as cas-
lily as we did this time" etHow much
did the National Committee spend?" the
committeeman was asked. 'Tt would not
be proper to state" said he. ''Of course,
the amount was large, reaching, for both
headquarters, into seven figures. The ex-
act amount is known to few people. -

The experience of past years shows
hat there is no better outlook for men
who are properly equipped than is offered
to the graduates Of our Agricultural
courses.
The demand for good men of that sort
has never been filled.
The increase in agricultural students
in the colleges Of the country has been
felt in Delaware, and more young men
are now in the regular Agricultural
courses of our College than ever before in
its history.
The teaching force in the Agricultural
Department has been strengthened and
the College is continually increasing its
facilities for instruction in this line.
The President of the College will be
glad to correspond with any one who
wishes more detailed information con-
cerning any of the courses offered.

The unruflled demeanor of the stock

dency of money in London, which, 1t is
expected, will be caused by government
disbursements for the purpose of making
