the letter writtsn By C0aKrsssman Lore
In explanation OF his vote upon thu
msrins engine hin, which, II adopted,
would sase compelled the purchasing
OF the engines, armament and maj
chinsry, for one Of the cruisers con
templAted % be bailt, in Earopa The|
purpose, Mr. Lore says, Was 10 get thf
advantage Of the best improved en-
gises In the world II there was any
thing good in the marine armAmentsl
Of English vessels. which the United
States had not got, it would by this
means get il. This looks very reason
able on the faoe Of IL, and the more so|
n there were ten vessels 70 be ouil;,
and the armament Of only one Of thsm
was 10 be purchased In EnroDs- Had
Wilmington not have had twc of the
best equipped shipyArds in the country
for building ell kinds Of vessels there
probshly would have been no positive
objections found 70 Mr.. Lors's vote
At the time the vote was taken in the
COMMITTEES, . week or ten days ago, the
RKPUBLIcAS, on thes general princi-
PIE OF projection to American indus
tries, advocated getting the engines and
cause there we're tEo shipyArds in Will
mington specially. We must confess
we we're somewhat surprised IT Mr..
Lore's vote, bat when IL vas explained
that he wanted TO ges some improved
mSehinery that England had, aud tina.
Is could no: be got In any other manner
than by purchase, We thought there
might be something In il and let the
matter pass.
But nov We must refer to what we
might call the amusing side OF the sub
ject-Amasing because the leading free
trade paper OF our city, . paper tina.
supported the Morrison reform tariff
I'LL Of two years ago, and IL supporting
the Morrison tariff reform bill now
pending before Congress, took up the
subjecs and found fault with Mr.. Lore's
vote In the committee.
II advocates getting the work done
NJ home Il could noi face tbs two
great shipyArds Of our city And advo-
cate getting IN American cruis sr built
In England Mr.. Lore, too, nok the
alarm He had voted getting an
American cruiser built In England,
even though Wumingtou shipyards
should stand idle. Nobody stopped to
ask Why Mr.. Lsre bad thus voted. L.
WA known only that In the matter be
had given England the preference, and
his vote was condemned by his own
party organ paper than besides
whieh there IL no stronger advocate OF
free trade In the country.
Mr.. Lore got scared a. the opposition
20 his vote Is home, and changed IL, As
he says, when 1t was shown that the
Improvements he was after could De
procured by our builders without such
purchase Had Mr.. Lore himself no,
have been . tariff revenue reform II, the
Information be after ards accepted
could as easily have BEEN procured b.
fore he cast his vote.
The amusing side OF the question 1.
still farther shown in Mr.. Lore and hi
free-trade organ becoming the rankes
proteciionists when Wilmington inter
ests are concerned.
Nobody sysr claimed that Mr.. LIT,
was . prote stionist, a. his voie va
cast without reserve for the Morrison
free-traae slll two years ago, neither
did anybody evef claim that the Ever.
Evening was anything more than free
trade eli over and through and through
aud YET we see and hear them bot
now advocating the support OF Ameri
can industries. We vel some them {
the ranks Of the pr oteetlouists. W
welcome them in behalf of the gres
shipyards and manufacturing indu.
tries Of Wilmington. We velcom
them in behalf o. depressed labor. W
welcome them, even though their cor
version extends 70 Will mington. A. th
same time we expect nothing elss tina
that the Every Evening will pursue il
course 10 advocating the Morrison free
trade tariff reform bill, that, IL passel
will no. only send our ships to Ec
gland 20 70 ouilf, but will bring /
EDglish manufacturers 70 sapplsr
American manufsc ;urers. We expe'
even Mr.. Lore, not aithstandlng b
professed friendship for Wilmingto
industries, TO vote for this same Morr
son free.;rade tariff rsform bill tha
must resul: IN breaking down Amer
can industries and building up Eoglis
industries.
Getting ore OF these ten cruisers
build in Wilmington, will be but Do,
compensation 20 ruined in lus RE. els.
where by the passage o. The Morrisc
bill, for which Mr.. Lore voted =
years $40. and will no d9ubs VOC 4
again. II Mr.. Lore aud hie FIRE
trade organ ex pect 70 blind the poop
OF Wilmington with such pro,ecsiC
chat as they are asEem pting 20 shro
into their eyes, they will find iheI
selves terribly mistaken. TIE Peep
are getting their eyes opened upon tt
subject They want no British 10 an
factured goods in this country VIII
they have the capital, the genius al
the labor to manufacture them thel
selves They are no. willing to be I
dueed 70 the dregs OF starvation Il
Eugl sh wsrkmen, that capital m
fA:ten and thrive like It does in Ell
land. II the Every Evening ls hon'
In its criticism OF Mr.. Lore's vote,
will hereafter oppose Mr.. Morrison
and other tree-.rAds bills. II Mr.. Ii
IL really sincere IN his professions
friendship TO Wilmington industri,
he will let his influence extend to
other American industries, in ott
cities and States by voting agains. I
