1.-THE statement has been made that
the Addick's Republicans, while do
sirous Of iusing with the Regular Re-
publioans for tho election of the State
and Congressional tickets in Delaware
this year, will insist upon having the
lions share of tho nominations by TAX
Ing the governor, attorney general and
congressman. That this arrangement
will hardly prove satisfactory to the
Regular Republicans is instanced by
the following editorial from the Sussex
Republican of Georgetown:
The agreement of tho Addicka'
leaders to nominate at the convention
tho candidates for governor, attorney
general and Congressman,a and leave tho
rest of the nominations for State officers
vacant to he filled by the Republicans
when they hold their convention IS the
same old Addielis' plan of compromise.
They take what they want and tender
the Republicans the leavings. They
take turkey and expect the other fell
lows to be satisfied with buzzard. They
may learn before the campaign is over
that such tempting morsels will not iT-
duoe the Republicans to give up their
fight against Addicks, who SO proudly
styles himself National Committeeman.
1t is no wonder that the Sussex Re
publican protests. The contemplated
division would leave the Regular Re-
Eublicans with nothing but tho State
Treasurer and State auditor. Tho Ad-
dicks Republicans would take the NOM
ination for governor, with the chance
for Ill the patronage that the Office
carries, and the Congressman for a
similar purpose, while they would also,
for obvious reasons, like to have the
office of attorney general, in order that
they might have standing in court
1t is hardly likely that there would be
any vigorous prosecution OF offences
against the election il the Addicks Re-
publican controlled the Office of attor-
ney-genersl.
It is not apparent that the Addicks
Republicans are entitled to such q
lions share Of the nominations by
virtue OF their numbers 1t is doubtful
II that faction comprises nehalf OF
the Republican vote of the State,
although it was in the majority in
1896. But, while it comprised 81 per
cent Of the total Republican vote in
Wilmington at that election, it had
fallen to 80 per cent at the city election
of 1890. Such loss continued
throughout the State would leave it in
large minority of the entire Repnbli.
can vote.
And so, by virtue Of mere numbers,
therefore. to say nothing of the vita
principle involved, the Regular Repub
licans of Delaware will not accept the
plan OF division suggested by the Ad.
diclIsites.

Practical Results of the Gold Standard.
Hon. j, Sterling Morton of Nebraska
City. Neb., we'll known as Secretary of
Agriculture during President Cleve-
lands last term, effectually disposes
Of the declaration contained in the
Democratic platform that the gold
standard has resulted in the appre.
citation Of gold and corresponding fall
in the price Of commodities produced
by the people; the enrich
ment of the money-lending class at
home and abroad; tho prostration of
industry and the impoverishment of the
people, He says:
Here in Nebraska City, a place of
10000 POPULATION, the banks carry
deposits of over 81, 900, 900 constantly.
Eight miles west, in the village of
Dunbar, is q bank of $40, 600 capital,
which has $4,000 of farmers money
on deposit Last week money was
loaned on land adjoining some OF my
own for three years at simple interest
OF 5 FER cont on a valuation of more
than $50 an acre, and | saw that same
land begging for a purchaser at 81. 50
an acre cot long ago. Under the gold
standard that land has become so dis
honest MS to increase its purchasing
power SO that now enc acre of it will
buy 100 gold dollars, and when saw
1t sold first one acre would buy only
one dollar and quarter.
These plain and practical instances
represent very small section of the
State of Nebraska. Is it not fact
that they find duplicates in every
section Of every State of the Union?
What would it profit the country t.
recede from the gold Standard. which
has done so much, and adopt silvo
standard, which promises results JUS
the opposite?

To secure an Honest Election,

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee, in session at Dover, Thursday,
adopted an appeal to the people in tie
interest of having an honest election in
Delaware this year, and Of prosecuting
an attempts to corrupt the suffrage.
In this appeal the committee says:
1t is almost boosted political secret
that this State and particularly the
close legislative districts, are to be
flooded with money by the Union Re.
publicans to debauch the voters; we
cannot, and we would not IL we could,
contest this election using like methods,
and we appeal to all good citizens to
afford US the opportunity to offer re-
wards for the information leading to
the arrest and conviction Of Union Re-
large to excite the cupidity of anyone
for any tool to risk himself within
reach of the law.
There is every reason to believe that
this statement is correct, and that the
Union Republican party proposes to
make campaign of money and cor
iuption. The Democratic State Central
Committee asks that money be fur
nished it for the purpose of Offering re-
wards for the detection and conviction
Of any agents Of the Union Republican
party that may engage in the contempt
tible work of corrupting voters. The
appeal is worthy one, as no better
service can be rendered the State than
the punishment of men who are low
and mean enough to corrupt voter. A
single conviction for this heinous crime
would do more to put stop to tho evil
than columns Of advice and argument.
The movement of the Democratic State
Central Committee should be endorsed
by every reputable citizen of the State.

Wonderful are the changes in politics.
In the Republican National Convention
of 1888, William Mckinley, as chair
man of the committee on resolutions.
reported a platform in which it was
declared that the convention condemns
the policy of the Democratio admins.
tration in its efforts to demonetize
silver" The administration thus
condemned" was the first of Mr..
Cleveland's. Now. twelve years later,
we find Mr.. Mckinley the candidate OF
the party arrayed in favor OF the gold
standard, and the Democratic party
committed to the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver at the ratio of 16 to
l. An old saying is: Chimes change
and men change with them, but prin.
ciples never" With respect to gold and
silver, We find that the changes by
many men in this country have beer
strikingly radical during the pass
twelve years, regardless of their alleged
principles.

WHY SHIPPING DECLINED.
massacre

Post-Intelligencer.
Some reasons for the decline in Amer
lean shipping can be gathered from
recent special consular reports. just is
sued by the department Of state. The
various consuls Of the United States
have been requested to collate statis-
tics in regard to the wages paid sea-
men and officers Of vessels in the var
ious ports of the world. as well as da-
ia concerning the subsidies paid to
shipping by the lea ling European ma
tions. The result is a collection of fig
ures showing the fierce and unequal
competition which American ship-own-
ers have to face. and why, if condi-
tions remain as at present, there is
little hope of the United States re-
gaining the position which it once held
; as the foremost maritime nation of the
world
The wages paid on American deep
water ships average double the amount
paid by other countries. For example.
the average wages paid the first Of
fcers of freight steamers are, for
Americans, SIS per month; for British,
s55; for swedes and Norwegians. about
s25; for French, s4S; Italians, $40;
Danes, s2s; Germans, $50; japanese,
$50.
The same average runs down through
all the minor officers, and the com
parison Of wages paid firemen, seamen
and coal passers shows even more to
the advantage of the foreign ship
owner. For example, the ruling rate
Of wages for seamen in American
steamers on the Pacific rarely falls be-
low $50 per month. and firemen and
coal passers are paid rather more than
this. European wages range down.

The situation is China is getting
worse and worse. Commercial eau
casian nations might as well grid them
selves for decisive action in that quar-
ter OF the globe or resign themselves to
the prospect of the complete ruin Of
all the trade relations with China
which have been building so laboriously
for decades past. The Boxers are in
the ascendant. both in the field and in
diplomatic Chinese circles. Their an
tipathy to all foreign interests is
deadly and unscrupulous. and their
triumph in the present crusade against
foreigners viii mean the practical
eradication Of every root Of European
and American trade at present drawing
nourishment from the Chinese soil. OF
course. such a result as this is an
unthinkable thing. from the viewpoint
of commercial common sense But 1t is
time for concerted action on the part
Of foreign interests. if the final rehabil-
i,ation Of Caucasian prestige in China
is not to be postponed to the slow pro-
cesses of the indefinite future. There
should be intelligence enough available
among the governments Of Great Brit
ain. France. Germany, Russia. Japan
and the United States to draw up a
well-defned plan Of action to suppress
the present danger and to insure good
government for China. 1t has come to
be a question of self-preservation for
the rest of the world-at any rate. its

German, Swedish, Norwegian and
French vessels seamen and iremen re-
ceive anywhere from sl4 to SIS per
month. Thus II viii be seen that the
average wages paid on the American
vessels which engage in deep-water
trade win nearly II not quite double
those paid in any other country,
But this is only one element in the
labor cost. All wages paid on vessels
are, Of course, exclusive Of subsistence.
The American steamship owner feeds
his men far better than does any Euro
pean ship-cwner, leaving out OF COM
parison altogether the japanese. 1t is
safe to say that the cost to the Amer
can ship-owner rarely falls below the
navy standard Of % cents day to the
man for subsistence, Ii is doubtful
whether the cost is One-half as great
as this in the average European ship.
When it comes to the question OF
bounties. the showing against the
American shipbuilder and the ship
owner Is even stronger France. for
example. pays bounty for eonstruc-
ton Of new vessels OF Si254i4 per gross
ton, and from s2.S2 to aSsH per go
pounds for machinery and boilers. To
ships OF French construction a further
bounty OF % cents per net ton for
every thousand miles sailed during the
first year is also given. After the first
year the bounty is diminished one per
cent for every year. An extra-legis-
lative commission which has been con-
sidering the question for several years
past has formulated a bill for presen-
tation TO the deputies. which increases
this bounty very substantially.
The German government pays direct
annual subsidies aggregating nearly
two and half million dollars to the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany; and similar but not such large
bourties to other steamship lines.
italy pays an annual subsidy Of
rather more than Is cents per gross
ton per thousand miles Travelled to all
Italian-built vessels.
Great Britain pays out annually in
postal subsidies nearly s4.OO0,O0O, but |
gives no direct bounty to shipbuilders.
The foregoing statistics show how |
American ship-owners are handicap |
ped, and why it is improbable that |
there will be any great revival Of the |
American oeean-carrying trade unless |
legislation is had TO Offset the adyant-
ages which the foreign ship-Owner
holds at present. 1t is neither possible
nor desirable to reduce wages to the
European standard. 1t is possible and |
It would be profitable to pay at least
as great bounties to American vessels
as are paid by European countries. On
anything like equal terms. the Ameri-
can capitalist and seaman are willing
70 enter into competition with any
'ther country. That they cannot do
t at present is due to the fact that
his government does not take the
'teps to encourage the ocean carrying
.rade which are taken by the countries
which have wrested this trade away
rom the United States.
