perfected a reciprocity treaty with Ger
m any, and another with Italy and found
"open doors in other countries in order
to increase the sales of American prod
ucts in those lands, policy inaugurated
by that great American statesman,
James G.. Blaine.
1t is the pronounced policy OF the
Republican party to stimulate trade the
world over. 1t advocates ship subsidy
BILL so that vessels may float the Ameri-
can flag, transport American goods, carry
American mails and open new markets
for American products. American bank
ing institutions are established in both
the East and West Indies in order that
exchange of money may be effected
without our business having to pass
through London, paying a toll to British
fnancers.
The mission of the party Of prosperity
will not be over until there are no
more markets to conquer. Ii is
providing work for factories, labor for
laborers, transportation for goods. 1t
makes the pay roll fatter. 1t is the
policy that cancels mortgages, builds
homes for working men, creates 4 de-
mand for the grain of the field, the meat
of the pasture and the iron and coal Of
the mine. 1t is rational and national
prosperity founded on wisdom; not a
promised prosperity created by cutting
dollar in two and calling each half a
whole.
A radical departure from this policy is
| advocated by the Democrats in their
avowed purpose to destroy protection and
oppose expansion. The triumph Of their
policy, if put upon the statute books,
would result in American furnaces be-
coming cold and American shuttles be-
ing silent. English looms would weave
for US and German mills would do our
forging. American labor would find its
occupation gone.
There is difference between the two
political parties. The Republicans do
want to govern the markets Of the world
and to reign over the distribution of the
worlds bread and meat, securing in this
way work at home for every honest
laborer, markets for the products of our
farms, and becoming such factor in the
world that will compel peace and Justice
among the nations Of the earth. 1t is
the policy which will hasten that blessed
time promised by the prophet of old
when the sword shall be beaten into
plowshares and the spears into pruning
hooks. 1t is the Republican policy.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY USING PUB
Lie ROAD.

NHE CECIL WIG is glad to be
able to commend the Cecil
- County Commissioners for their
liberal granting Of the right Of
way along the public road between Elk
ton and Chesapeake City to the Cherry
Hill, Ellton and Chesapeake City Elec-
trio Railroad Company, for the building
of a trolley line. At the same time they
sh owed proper regard for the rights OF
the travelling public, and the agreement
required Of the Company by the Commits
sioners is eminently fair, covering all
points as to the protection of public
property, and the consideration of the
publics welfare. 1t even goes SO far as
to require the stoppage of cars at any
time when it is feared runaway acct
dent may be caused by passing teams.
The building of this road will mark a
new era in Cecil County's business af-
iai RS and social life, and advance the
interests Of property owners and public
alike.
IN the MATTER of taxation, the annual
levies upon the valuable railway prop
erty will aid the county largely in inan-
cial way. The company, 80 tar, has
proven itself worthy of every privilege
granted il, and there is no reason for
doubt but that they will carry out their
contract promptly and satisfactorily.
The Town Councils of Elllton and
Chesapeake City, we hope will also be
liberal and Just as were the County
Commissioners.

MIR. BLAKENEY FOR CONGRESS.

HE Republican party OF this dis
trict has nominated as its Con.
- gressional candidate Mr.. A. A.
Blakeney, a prominent and
highly esteemed resident of Baltimore
county. His nomination is a good one,
ifa mans public and private record is
accepted as d proper test any candi-
date. Mr.. Blakeney enjoys the conf
dence of his own people and is known
through the district as a man Of honesty
and intelligence. IN the role of PreSl-
dent of the Board of County Commits
sioners, OF Baltimore county, he earned
for himself the thanks of all citizens who
desired an economic and businesSlike
administration Of affairs He has been
tried and tested, and his selection as
Congressman would be no experiment
in the question OF fitness for the high
position. Mr.. Blakeney is sound on all
questions which the great Republican
party is now dealing with He is solid
on t he money question and at this time
it is most urgent that no risk be taken
as to the Tree Silver lallacy of Bryan and
his followers. The people Of this dis
trict should realize the danger from the
election Of q Democratic majority in
Congress, to say nothing Of Bryan as
Presi dent. This would be followed by
an act to coin Free Silver at the rate Of
16 to I. Thus Mr.. Blakeney and the
Republican National ticket appeal to
every citizen who is for free government,
honest money, the building up of trade
and commerce. and general prosperity.

PLAIN BUSINESS SENSE.


MINES are prosperous now. Never
before in our history has such
4 an immense and profitable VOL
ume OF business been handled.
1t cannot be expected that all years will
be like this year. Crops will fail. Specu-
lation induced by prosperity may lead to
times. But the wise administrators Of
the Nation must and will provide as far
as possible to so direct and diversity the
industries of the Nation that good de-
gree of prosperity may be expected
under all normal conditions. As peo-
pie we grow more than we can eat. We
dig from our mines more than we can
consume. We spin, weave, forge, shape
and make more than we can use. Field,
forest, furnace and factory all produce
more than enough to supply any possible
domestic demand. This is a condition,
not a theory, which can be met in but one
of two ways. Reduce the output or in
crease the purchasers. The former IS
c ontraCtion. The latter is expansion.
1t is impossible to stand still. We must
60 forward or backward. The channels
Of the worlds commerce are never stag
nant. The struggle Of the twentieth
century will be for markets. Business
knows no sentiment. The Nation that
can undersell the rest of the world will
control the commerce of the world. 1t
IS the settled policy of the Republican
party TO protect our industries, encourage
manufacturing, and thus create a con-
slant demand for labor. This, however,
IS only half OF the problem.
The nation or the individual that in
creases production, without charging
the demand and increasing consumption,
will come to grief. Goods stacked up
in warehouses represent dead capital
paid out both for material and labor
President Mckinley, not content with
opening the factory, opened the markets
to absorb the output Of loom, spindle,
pick and pillow,
The result Is almost beyond belief.
The exports of the United States for the
fiscal year 1900 amounted to the enor-
nous sum of $I,394,479,2I4. This is
divided among all classes of industre is
and the increase over the fiscal year OF
1899, the best the country had eerv be.

CHAPTER II.

For q week or two Estelle went

temperament, took the shape of ex-

who understood her visitor we'll.
Then one day she darted into the
house, dragged Mary to her room,
and there burst out crying and laugh
ing wildly. ~ am 80 happy $50

"What child you are, Estelle |! OF

as ever I can be, dearie. Tell me all
about it."

tossing them high above her head. :.
$50, after all you have found q man
you can trust," said Mary, half-joking-
ly, and not at all prepared for the
sudden cloud that settled on Estelle's
face. She did not answer at once,
and then the tone had changed. =
"Msry you told me he was devoted
to Eva Charlesworth." .
"Oh, did ~" said Mary, much
embarrassed. "Well, I used to think
80, but clearly I was mistaken"
mo, you were not. He told me
about it himself. He says long time
ago he asked her to marry him, but
she would not. She said she liked
somebody else, but he mustn't be
angry with her; they must always
be friends. So he took it very quitely,
and stayed near her till I came, and
then he found out he only cared for
her as brother, but for me in quite q
different way. He says she Is very
good, but hate her. I am frightened
of her; she is so pretty and sweet, and
| am such a rough, undignified
baby"
"Do you mean that you are going
to begin by being jealous ?" asked
Mary, quiet coldly.
II have told him he must never let
me see him near her ~ declared Estelle,
passionately.
Mary's first impulse was to be indig-
nant, but the memory of Estelle's
training came into her mind, and she
resolved to be very patient and gentle
with her. For the moment she dis
missed the subject lightly.

e The public will observe that the apportiou-

paul. This ia due TO several causes, to wit:
Bone School Districts overdrew their appor-

Edfaft was deducted from the present app0s-

have been reported, the total number OF chill
Idren, however, has been increased which de
creased the per capita rate.

fact that the apportionment for last year
