WILaiNGros, oct 81, 1916.


l am, and ever have been, whig. and, so far as
I am aware, an honest one. The tariff Of lS42 was
opposed to when it passed, and had been in Con-
gress, | should, like the Hon. Thomas Clay ton


have voted against il. The Hon. Geo. b. Rodney,
the from this State voted for that bill


contrary to the remonstrances of his best friends


The consequence was, that when he was before his
constituents in the fall Of l542 for election, he
escaped defeat by the msagre majority Of votes,
while his majority, in 1910, was rising 900 votes.
This State agricultural State and while her cit


zens are favorable to manufactures, and willing that


they should be far protected TO enable them to
compete with the foreign market, they are opposed
being taxed by government to an amount prohibii-


ing Importation enabling The capitalist engaged in that
branch Of industry TO ride rongh-stod oper the o'o''er
and tIler Of the SOIL divide his thirty per cent? and
boil his hams in champagne toine. This the tariff Of
1912 enabled some to do. That Of 1886 has not yet
gone into operation. What its effects will be, time
will determine. Among the intelligent men of our
State (politica asprans excepted) 1t is deemed am


py protective for every branch Of industry to -four
ish under it. Political capital is attempted to be
made for the coming election by calling 1t the Brit


ish tariff and by representing to the people of Kent
and Sussex counties that government has ordered a
draft Of 600 men to be made for the army in Mex
| ico. But notwithstanding all such misrepresenta-
tons, verify believe that Mr.. Tharp, the democratic
candidate, will receive majority of more than 300
votes The people have got tired of being ruled by
certain men ddre,sed and futieing in brocade," who
look upon all who dress in homespun, manufactured
in the families of the industrious, unworthy of,
| and too poor to hold Office. Mr.. Causey's election
would perpe,uate miserable dynasty, composed OF
men without character worth, who live upon the
vitas Of the people, while they are continually ex-
claiming "damn the people" The election of Mr..
| Tharp will disperse this miserable clan, and give
the poor man chance to live; and hence 1t is that
many wings have joined the democrats for the pur-
a. basir n In nun
then, Delaware among the democratic States so far
a governor is concerned. Houston, the whig can
didaie for Congress, will probably escape defeat by
| the skin of his teeth. '. -..... ~
