A Plain Question for worl.Insmsn.

There are several hundred workingmen in the
morocco factories of this city The " inishers
get sls to $21 per week. The laborers get Sl2
to S14 In Germany and Fran,e there are thous-
ands Of men working at the same trade. They
get but "a to 90 per week. Now the Free traders
propose to admit to the markets Of this country,
free Of d'tty, tho morocco, those starvation-paid
workmen make. If this is done, what becomes
Of our Wilmington workingmen The goods they
produce cost more because they are paid wages
upon which they can live respectfully, and sup
port their families The foreigng goods are cheap,
because the German and French worllmen are
not paid such wages.
In this instance, there is a sample of the whole
question between Free Trade, and Protection to
Home Industry. The protection our Wilmington
men now have is a duty OF 25 per cent. laid On
foreign goods sent to our markets. The ques-
ton is shall that duty come off. Free Traders
say Yes Protectionists say No. How do the
workingmOn of Wilmington say?
