What can be urged in the extenua-
tion Of system Of high tariff schedules,
which allows manufacturers to charge
higher prices at home than they realize
in Europe, China or South America?
The economic system, that renders
this extortion possible upon the Ameri-
can buyer, is contrary TO tho spirit OF
our Republican institutions, oppressive
and absolutely un- American.
A We say that we are surprised at finding
this kind of doctrine in the Cecil Wing.
For that paper, as its name implies, is
an organ Of the Republican party-the
party Of high tariff protection. IL ad-
vocated protective tariff before the
Republican party was born, in the days
of Henry Clay, and continued stead
fast in the faith until long after the
tariff had risen to an extent never
dreamed of by Henry Clay when he
urged the protection of tariff taxation
for tho benefit of our Infant indus
tries - In any pater less carefully
conducted than the Cecil Wing, we
would have set the incident down as
careless acceptance OF campaign mat
ter furnished by the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee, under
the impression that it had been sent
out by the Republican committee. But
| we do not think such an assumption
applies to our Elkton contemporary,
and therefore conclude that it lie an
instance Of sound conversion-of an
advocate OF tariff production Disguised
at the selfishness of tariff beneficiaries
and aroused to the point of protest at
their outrageous discrimination against
the people of the United States, as evil
denced by the fact that they sell their
protected products at much cheaper
rates in the market Of the old world
than in the markets OF this country.
1t is no wonder that people are in
dignant over the situation, and that
the demand for tariff reform is coming
from thousands who have grown up be
lieving in the business OF the protec
tive tariff system. But they canno
shut their eyes to the fact that til,
tariff has become an instrument of op
preston; that it pr ,tects the manufac
, turers of this country from outsid
competition, and enables them to com
, bine and protect themselves sgsins
, competition at home. That thu
: doubly protected, they charge HON
; consumers what they please, and the
send their surplus stocks abroad

manufacturers, they reduce prices ia

A which our people are compelled to pay
And when it is considered that the
h make fair profit on their sales i
i foreign markets, the enoromus prof
q that they realize from their sales
tho home markets may easily be con
- puted from the comparative figures.
The fact that our manufacturers ca

Delaware College Committee Elects ciar-
ence A. Short to Position.
The committee on instruction and
discipline at Delaware College met in
this city Monday and elected Clarence
A. Short to be professor of mathematics.
Mr.. Short is graduate of the insti-

ing mathematics, but under a rule of
the War Department, the detail cannot
teach anything except military rules
and tactics. The committee on in
struction and discipline comprises
President Harter, S. M. Curtis, Man
love Hayes, DIR. George W. Marshall
and George G. Evans.
The committee decided to request
the War Department to assign a
Captain Moore of the regular army,
as military instructor at the college.
1t also was decided to have military
drills for the cadets daily, instead of
three times a week as in the past. This
denotes that the college authorities
intend to give greater attention to the
military feature.

From the various indications Of
revolt in the Union Republican party
against the domineering rule of Boss
Addicks, the Sussex Republican of
Georgetown believes there is but one
conclusion any sensible man can arrive
at and that is that Addicks is weaker
today than he was two years ago. As
this becomes more apparent, the dis
Indignation will increase and it will
only be short time when the Addicks
boom will only be q remembrance. 1t
has been asserted again and again that
he will have fewer votes in the next
Legislature than in the last, and nc
Addicks paper has denied it, because
they know it is true. With less votes
he will stand less chance of being Sena.
tor and his election will be impossible
and this campaign will see the end Of
Addicksism. "

"a general revision of the Dingley
bill would upset business, as it did
during Cleveland's administration, "
argues the Philadelphia Inquirer, in
its defence of the trust protecting
tariff. Well, suppose it would. Bust
ness conditions would soon adjust
themselves to low tariff, and would
not a temporary disturbance be much
better. certainly far less expensive,
than the indefinite continuance of the
present system of gross imposition and
practical robbery?

PEARS FOR EUROPE.

The Department. of Agriculture has
made success during the PAST season
OF the shipment of summer apples and
Southern peaches to Europe, and is
now turning its attention to an expert
ment with pears. G. Harold Powell,
the Assistant Pomologist of the De-
partment, and II. S. Fulton of that
division, are in Western New York
selecting the best fall varieties for
shipment and experimenting packing
and shipping them. Every pear is
carefully Inspected and wrapped. The
cases are sent in cold storage cars and
carried on shiphoard into cold com
partments.
The success with peaches leads the
Department experts to believe that an
even greater success is possible with
pears The fruit of New York is
especially fine this year, and the Eng
lish market promises a good price.
Mr.. Powell will also send abroad a
shipment Of fall peaches. The Depart
ment has another expert, II. P. Gould,
at work in Western Maryland and West
Virginia packing shipments of noun.
tain grown peaches to go to England.
! Delaware apples were in the ship
| ments of a few months ago.

London, Oct. 27.-King Edward and
Queen Alexandra started on the royal
progress toward the city shortly after
noon Saturday in somewhat dull
weather. The rain, however, kept off,
and the temperature was sufficiently
mild to make the day enjoyable. Out
side Buckingham palace, which natur-
ally was one of the greatest centers of
attraction, a great crowd had been
waiting for hours, watching the ar
rivals and departures and the forming
up of the procession. The brillancy
of the latter was greatly distracted
from by the fact that all the troops
were cloaked. The only touch of color
was from the lance pennants of the
lancers and the brass helmets of the
heavy cavalry. The khaki-painted
guns of the artillery and naval gun of
the same hue added to the general note
OF somberness. The roofs of houses
near the palace and other points of
vantage giving a view of the pic
turesque panorama in Green park and
the historic Mall were we'll filled with
spectators whose cheering announced
to the less privileged public the start
ing OF the state carriage with their
ma iesties.

The king wore a field -marshal's uni
form with the cloak thrown back show
ing his decorations. Both the king and
queen looked extremely well and con-
tinuously bowed their acknowledge
ments of the warm welcome extended
to them. Partly in consequence of the
length of the route there was nowhere
great crush of people, with the ex-
ception OF open spaces like Trafalgar
square, where the London county coun-
ell presented the king with an address
OF welcome and where the Boer gem
erals, Botha, Delarey and DeWet, were
prominent among the spectators, and
at the city boundary, Temple Bar, where
the lord mayor, sheriffs and other city
officials welcomed his majesty and pre-
scented him with the city's sword.
At the mansion house most of the

from there being accompanied only by
the sovereigns' escort and the prince
of Wales. the duke of Connaught and
other princes, equerriee and aides, to

ing about the luncheon tables cheered

cepted the corporation. address and
then the members of the royal family
sat down and the luncheon commenced.
Among those present were Ambassa-
dor Choate and Gen. Wood.
The Kings Address.
The most interesting feature of the
royal progress up to this point was the
kings reply to the address of the Lon
don county council on Trafalgar
square. The Boer generals occupied
prominent seats in the center of the
county council stand, Immediately fac
ing the king. His majesty's reply was
clearly audible to all in the vicinity. He
said:
