MEssRs. EDITORS Can you inform
me what are the Democratic principles'
Mr.. Martin, at the Opera House, said
he was in favor of a tariff. Last night
at the meeting at Delaware City, Mr..
J. H. Myers said the party will achieve
its success two years hence on the prin-
ciples Of hard money, free trade and
States rights, and by these principles
only can it win. This plan Of tariff in
Wilmington and free trade below was
preached in 1874. Now | would appeal
to the working men in our boat yards
and rolling mills to have nothing to do
with such party. The Democratic
party is opposed to a protective tariff,
and in favor of admitting foreign ves-
sells to American registry, which would
cause the grass to grow in every ship
yard in the country. This is no idle
picture. No man Of common sense can
deny this. When you vote for the
Democratic party you are voting away
your bread and butter. | would ask

before casting their votes for the Demo-

Probable Immense Immigration of Chinese


London, Feb. 19.-It is stated on
authority which cannot he questioned
that seventy millions of human beings
are now starving in tho famine stricken
provinces of north China. The Times
in an article about the Chinese famine,
says: We cannot doubt that if the
Chinese have found their way to Amer
lea from the comparatively prosperous
eastern provinces in thousands that
they will pour forth in myriads from
the famine-stricken districts of the
north of China as soon as the way is
opened to them. The Chinese difficult

that alcohol in any of it's forms may be

saying that "work which is kept going

ends in break down. If it is taken
for the purpose of increasing muscular
exertion, ultimately there is great loss
of muscular power, as all athletes know.
If mental exertions are kept going by
