This may be- funny and may please
some fossilized and fossilizing persons,
but there is not the suggestion of truth
in it. The fact is, there was never a
time when SO large a percentage Of the
children of the United States, or Of any
state in the United States, knew SO much
about numbers, OF spelled so well, or
did anything else In the fundamentals as
well as to-day. IT Is improbable that the
time will ever come that men who live
beyond their appropriate time in the

in their antiquity. There was never a

The Farmers Interest in Reciprocity

Not the manufacturer, but the farmer
is the great American exporter The
farmer contributes 70 per cent of Amer
lean exports; the manufacturer, 80 per
cent. Hence, the interest of the farmer
in the foreign market and all that will
maintain or extend it is great. And the
interest Is even greater than would ap-
pear from the large part of our exports
that consists of agricultural products.
Whereas the American manufacturers
produced $13,039, 100000 worth Of goods in
1900, the American farmers produced only
S3,764 100000 worth Of goods. Yet the
manufacturers found their market at
home for all but about s40O.Oo0,o 900 worth
Of their goods; whereas the farmer had to
go abroad to dispose of 1000, O00, 900
worth of his products. Whereas the
manufacturer looks to foreign markets to
take only per cent of his product, the
farmer looks to the foreign market to
take about 30 per cent Of his goods. So
long as we have such good times as the
present, the manufacturer could get
along fairly well without any foreign out
let, but the farmer Is dependent on the
foreign market. T..
1t is not only that he needs what the
foreigner pays, but what is paid by the
home consumer depends in large measure
on what the foreign consumer pays for
surplus American products. With the
manufacturer, the key to the situation is
control Of the home market; with the
farmer the key is access to the foreign
market.
| We have looked out for the manufac-
turer, but we have not taken care Of the
! farmer. A-z ::
The time has come for the farmer to
| look out for himself. He doesn't need to
worry about the American demand for
what he can raise, and he need not fear
competition in his home Market but the
foreign market is getting into a parlous
state.
All Europe is planning to restrict the
market for our agricultural products, and
even free trade England is soberly discus
sing a scheme to restrict importations Of
American farm products in order to slim
ulate imperial patriotism. The farmers
market and prosperity are In great danger
And what do we do?

NOW WHAT WILL THEY nor

The Regular Republican members Of
the Legislature yesterday took a proper
course in answering the recent propo-
sitlon Of the Union Republicans. They
agree to enter into an arrangement to
elect two senators. one from each
party, providing, of course, that Nd
dicks is eliminated. The proposition
Is liberal, and shows an earnest desire
on the part Of the Regulars to go as
far as circumstances win permit in
their effort to solve the ever perplexing
problem.
This Is not the moment TO predict
the outcome. and it is well TO say that
no offer more liberal can be made
andthe manner of its acceptance WILL
show concusiyely the attitude of the
Union Republicans. and teach the Reg
ulars how they are to act in the future
Public opinion must not be too hasty;
the solution of the problem must be
reached step by step. and probably this
move is necessary at this stage Of the
process.
Il Is natural that the people of Della
ware aud of the county should expec

This expectation will not be satisfied
until one party has submitted a fan
proposition To the other. and it ha
been rejected. When We consider wha
Addicksism has done in this State an
what. Il IS doing, We think this prop'
sition OF the Regulars is an earnest
unsolfshness and a desire to go to IN
utmost extent to unite the party. Upo

WANTED. BETTER JunIEs

A man comes into court with a case |
involving large sum of money. He !
looks into the faces OF the jury and
finds that most Of them are bitter po-
litical opponents He knows they have
been appointed to pay party debt and
that they feel their obligation TO those
who selected them. He knows that the
rest, by lack of natural ability and
training are utterly incapable Of COM
pretending the nature of the case or
the force Of the evidence. Therefore.
before the case is tried he concludes
that If he gets justice it will be by an

A workman is injured in one Of the
shops; he secures the services of some
eloquent lawyer who is voluble in his
denunciation of capital, and who. in
flaming periods, denounces the heart

presents its evidence before such a jury
in vain; the verdict is made up before
hand and the evidence has little to
do with it. As a result the shops may
close and the plant be removed to some
section where there are better juries..
At the very foundation Of our system
Of government is the jury. Anyone is
liable to be accused Of crime, the only

EDITORIAL OPINION
Aareed Upon PubIieity.

From the New York Evening Post.
washington opinion is now pretty
thoroughly agreed upon compulsory
publicity for industrial combinations
under reasonable limitations OPP
ponents of the publicity" plan are
much hampered in their cOunter-argu-
ment by the fact that some of the
largest truste already publish frequent
and reasonably complete reports Of
their earnings and condition. If these
companies are taking such action vol
UNFAIRLY, then what becomes of the plea
of danger in case competitors get an
inkling of a rivals situation? We are
quite aware OF the fact that many cor
pOTation managers dislike to make in
telligible statements, even to their
own shareholders. They are very apt
to look upon the matter as If their
business were a private partnership, in
which demand for information of the
sort would be resented. But there is a
kind of publicity" offered even by a
partnership enterprise, TO capitalists
{whose help as special partners is So
licited. We believe that dread of pub
licity simply because il might inform
a company's rivals of its situation, is
very much exaggerated. Competitors
have means Of ascertaining facts which
even published income account OF
balance sheet would not reveal. Fur.
thermOre, can we conceive OF any in.
dustry where knowledge OF the sort, il
the hands of a competitor. could b,
more quickly used than in the case o
