Re Iabors Under Many Errors.
To the Editor Of EVENING Journal.
In an editorial in your paper Of the
25th instant headed "Thcy Changed
Their Tune, you say the tariff reformers
now occupy another position than that
occupied by Calhoun and his conferes
when they eontcnded that cotton ex
ports paid the tariff duties. AS | under
stand matters, the import tariff does
initiate directly against all of our ex-
port trade, for much Of the price must be
taken in barter, precisely as is done
among ourselves every day. Other
things being equal, goods will be bought
from the quarter which will take most of
The produce Of the purchaser In exchange
and least in cash With heavy import
duties nation IS obliged to sell for cash
entirely as il must pay duty on any mer-
chandise and thereby lose part Of their
profits. In this way exports will pay
tariff duty and must do 50 as long as the
seller needs what he must purchase at an
advanced price Senator Vance ia com
mon with many others who only speak to
be heard by the unthinking, makes the
statement dmpledly) that the
total amount Of the duty is
added to the cost Of an
article This is erroneous, the real amount
OF the tax is Just this-the excess of
price paid over the lowest price at which
it can be sold proftably from elsewhere
When we arrive at the state of producing
and selling cheaper than elsewhere then
we no longer need any protection. The
wage worker wants steady employment
at good wages and the employer wants
him steadily employed but at as low
wages as he can get him to work for
/ Employment is no more steady in the
/ United States than elsewhere. and many
Of our work people live no better than
those Of other countries. Who Of us
cannot remember the hard times" from
1878 to 1877, and later in 1SS4-S52 Who
does not remember the thousands of hon
est skilled and unskiled working men
who went on the tramp to avoid starva.
tiong In Chicago alone il is said there
were 30. 600 tramps. We are told It was
all caused by over production; the next
time il will be a limitation of production
due to trusts pools, etc. One real reason
is our inability to reach any
other than our own market which
cannot consume all of our manufactures
But deeper is this cause The worker
must sell his one commodity-labor al
once or it is lost forever, now how mucl
protection does he get for what he has t,
sell2 Absolutely none If the American
worker asks tos much he IS replaced b,
the very .pauperh labor from whose for
eign made product his employer is pro
tected The article made some where elsl
BY foreign laber is zealously kept out
but when the same labor makes it here a
nearly the same wages as it receives a
home, then no protection is had for tn
worker. Wages are coming down AM
must do so under the steady flow Of cheal
labor from Europe and elsewhere. Wha
the workingman need is protection agains

and probably never viii be had until tn

THE Republican rally at Brandywine
Springs yesterday was not a brilliant
success numerically, although fully 1000
persons were present The day set for
the meeting proved to be very inoppor-
tune. The state fair at Dover, the Re
publican county convention at the same
place and the fact that the farmers Of
New Castle county are two weeks behind
time in their fall work couduced to
operate against large attendance. The
meeting had not been as judiciously ad
vertised, either, as it should have been.
However the feeling displayed, the
speeches delivered and the general
effect upon the party were MI that could
be desired and in these respects the rally
was conspicuous success Christiana
and Mill Greek hundreds naturally con
tributed more than the other parts Of the
county The Tippecanoe Club Of Henry
Clay and the Young Mems Republican
Club of Ccntreville were especially strong
in the support that they give. These
clubs are composed almost wholly Of
young men, most of whom will vote for
President for the FIRST time this year.

Not wishing to get into any contro-

say, however, few words in answer to
an article that appeared in one of our
daily papers a few days ago. Ii said the

two weeks. Now, Mr. Editor, not being

more interest in one engine than another,
but ! do know that such is not the fact.
It has not been apart for a number Of
years. The only repairs made were those
really necessary, and would have been
made whether they had test on Monday

range d course Of entertainments, inclnd-
ing readings, lectures and concerts, given
by persons who excel in each Of these
particular lines, as Miss Eldridge, who
read in the Unitarian church last night
excels ia the art Of elocution, they would
doubtless be popular and profitable and
fiji the demand for class Of good enter
tainments which is now lacking. They
should be properly managed and tickets
placed on sale at various places through
out the city. Seats could be sold for the
entire course or for each separate enter
tainment. There are many good elocu-
tionists, lecturers and vocal quartettes,
that the majority Of Wilmington people
have never heard, that could be secured
for this purpose.

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY sAl

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.
The free trade orators pursuing their
task Of this year Of grace 1883, are CON
stantly roiterating that the poor work
ingman' pays the enormous taxes Of
the American system Of Protection. Did
they ever stop 20 think that. If what
they say Is true, the poor workingmen Of
America must havean enormous income to
be able to pay such q vast sum of money
without feeling the burdens thereof.
1t is a fact that no one IN this country
feels the burdens Of the protective tariff,
unless we except that useless class Of
the country which lives without working
and which insists of buying its luxuries
and most Of it's necessities in Europe.
This class is wholly in favor OF tariff
reform The New York Herald reported
this morning that 400 Of this class, cot.
tagers at Newport, organized a club yes
terday to raise money for the purpose Of
advancing the cause Of tariff reform. =
A tax is merely part of the wealth Of
the people who pay the tax If people
pay a heavy tax without complaining il
must have much wealth to pay from.
The workingmen are not complaining Of
any such tax They have not asked for
tariff reform" On the contrary they
are organizing against the tariff reform
movement. Is it not obvious then that
the free trade orators are not telling the
truth when they assert that the working
men are paying such enormous taxesY'
Are they not just as much in error nov
as their blatant predecessors were in 1888.

AURORA, TEX, May 6, 1888.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Will you please explain through the collmnl
Of your very valuable paper for the benefit Of
| some o. your readers how and In what way the
masses of the people are to be benefited by
placing wool on the FREE list and retaining a
protective tariff on articles manufactured from
that wool9 Very respectfully, b.
Mr.. NICK nney made speech in the
House last week in which he declared
that prominent Rhode Island manu-
facturer had come to him and said that IL
the tarih on wool were removed Ameri-
can manufacturers could compete with
foreign manufacturers in the markets OF
the world. II that were the case there
would be no need Of retaining the tariff
on manufactured woolens. But the Mills
bill retains duty Of 40 per cent. on
wooden goods, and that 40 per cent. will
be added to the cost Of woolens to the
consumer. The people will not be very
largely benefited by this feature Of the
bill, save in the growth of a tarif-reduc-
ton sentiment which will enforce . re-
moval OF the tarif on goods manufactured
from free raw material. II manufacturers
were given ell raw materials free
and allowed tariff on their own pro-
ducts the beneftto the masses might not
be visible to the naked eye, but. with free
raw materials, the manufacturers cannot
maintain protective tariff for goods
manufactured Of such material. The
eastern manufacturer may confess in pri-
vate to the benefits of free wool, but he
laoors very hard, nevertheless, for the re-
tention OF the wool tariff. He knows his
turn will come next. And THE GAZETTE
thinks its friend B. will agree that it Will
be much easier for the people to defeat
the manufacturers divorced from the
wool growers than 1t has been to defeat
the two combined.

90 Doses One Dollar
TIMELY COUNSEL,

1t Is simply impossible that such sn
earnest yet dispassiouate appeal as thst
made by ex-senator 8. B. M,xey to the
Democrats of Texas shall go unheeded.
We allude to the letter written to friend
in Dallas. It is doubtful il Gen. Maxey
knew his letter would be printed and
thus become public rather than 8 pri-
vate document, but its publication is
timely because 1t is In effect an appeal TO
the best thought and conservatism OF the
party with which Gen. Maxey has sffil
lated so long and honorably. 1t is an
appeal t. reason, to fair play, to patriot
ism. In plain and succinct terms Demo-
Gratis ore warned Of the danger they
invite II conservatism and tolerance
are to be lost sight Of and ig-
nored. The gravity Of the situation
is not overestimated. and yet the ex-
Senator does not pose as an alarmist. He
foresees the danger, but sees with equal
clesrress how to avoid absolutely and
surely. Tolerance and harmony with
determination to have unity is the policy.
THx GAzRTTk has unlimited faith in the
Of Texas Democratic, their
disposition to keep the party intact and
strong, and their unwillingness to resort
to coercive measures or policy. THE GA
zRTTx does not spprehend that reckless
will be IN the ascendant
either at Fort Worth or Dallas. There
are men who want "heart-of-oak" de-
that will sting and humilia,e
their brethren who voted for prohibI-
ton LAST year, but the extremists will not
csrry their point. 1t ls gratifying,
though, to see men like General Msxey
rendering calm and thoughtful advice to
the party at This stage ct the situation.
1t does nos matter that he was on the
pro side lzss year. That fact does not
impair the prestige Of his high character,
his consistent record as q Dem ocrat and
therefore his competency to speak in the
councils Of the party.
