cal History Of Delaware Since the Re.
publicans Have Been in Power.
The test of quality in government is
in the conditions-political and domes-
tic-it produces.
With the above statement of self
evident truth the Wilmington San calls
attention to the following news item
taken from the New York Tribune on
Monday:
Prosperity, the like of which the
farmers of Delaware have not seen for
years, is now prevailing here. This is
particularly true of the lower part of
the State. Heretofore few of the farm
ers in that part of the State have had
any money before the peach crop was
gathered and disposed. This has not
yet been done, but the farmers have
money. Travelling men who are re-
turning bring testimony to this fact.
They found no trouble in disposing of
pianos, fancy furniture and fine car
riages, something they would never
attempted to sell in years gone by
until the middle of September.
Whence this prosperity? The soil
of Delaware is not more fertile than it
has been ''for years." The people of
Delaware are not more industrious
than they have been ''for years" AS
matter of fact the products of fields,
gardens and orchards are no bigger or
better than they have been on many
former occasions. Whence this ''pros-
perity, the like of which the farmers
of Delaware have not seen for years ?"
The Logical Answer to the Question.
The answer to this question is, that
the country at large is under the con-
troll of an efficient Republican admin
istration, and the local administration
is in political accords with it.
A singular and noteworthy fact in
the States history is that during the
first Republican administration of the
State, the first administration in ac-
cord with a national Republican ad-
ministration- is the period of the
peoples enjoyment of the largest po-
litical liberty, and greatest material
prosperity, in the history of the coun-
try. These conditions stand as proof
of the superiority of the Republican
economic policy, and of the g5point
mental administration. They rsilee
to the people the words republican
and democrat, as exrsrience and use
define other words, to mean prosperity
:, snd adversely. These two words fixed
:, :, !. sssfsItI to the various periods of the
Y country's history, denote the politica
character of its administration. Re
publican administration have been uni
formly prosperous and marked by &
liberal political progress. Democrat
ic administrations have been uniform
" marked by adversity and politica
repression.
Due to "UniOn Republican" Domination.
Now another thing of particular anC
and peculiar interest to the people o
Delaware, is that this period of pros
perity, the like of which the farmer
of Delaware have not seen for years
is period of Union Republican, or
if it makes the statement any NOR
direct, "Union Republican" domina
ton of the State. To credit the state
ments of the Anti-Addicksites, tn
Republican legislature and the Re
publican executive of the State, ar
"Addicks Republican" in politics. 1
addition to the material prosperity {
the people as the result of an eficien
Republican national administration
the State has now its most liberal OF
ganic law as the result of Union Re-
publican success, in overthrowing th
Democratic party, its most efficien
honest and courageous administratio
since the civil war. The record of thi
administration in purging the admir-
iatration of public affairs of abuse, an
in the general promotion of the intei
ests of the people stands unique
Delaware history. The administratio
is the most liberal in politics, the mo-
honest in administration; the peopl
I are enjoying great political liberty
and greater natural prosperity tina
ever before.
