And with equal complacency Il as
serts that Delaware is a Republican
State
II is a fact that Delaware has been
an almost continuously Republican
State for a quarter OF q CEN

WILL THE PEOPLE BE MULCTED?

AS a rule. while a great labor strike
is under way the commodity which is
affected in production by the up
heaval advances in price. This is only
natural, as stoppage in production
decreases the supply, and If the COM
modify be one essential TO business
or industry, or to the needs Of the
people, the selling price Will be ad-
vanced.
But it Is said this ordinarily nat
ural rule should not apply TO the re-
tail price Of coal during the present
coal strike, unless the interference
with production should be unduly pro
| tracted. According to reports iron
the centres of production and collec'
ton, there is a large reserve supply
Of mined coal on hand, sufficient tt
supply all reasonable needs for Ions

household demand for coal is con

One Of the brightly outstanding and
