PnIlAoeLtrlA,s DecA0eNce.

A Comparison of Isusfnes~ Mt the Della
ware Breakwater IN 1879 and 1889.
The Philadelphia Record has the fol-
lowing lament TO day
.'rhe decline Of this city's commerce
is forcibly and unmistakablY shown by
the decrease in the number Of vesaels
seeking export cargoes from this city.
Ten years ago, when Philadelphia was
known as an export city, vessels in bal
last arrived at the Delaware Brealxwater
in great numbers for orders.
They put in at the Breakwater in
preference TO Sandy Hook or Hampton
Roads because export cargoes were known
to be always awaiting them here. Yes
sel.owners preferred to load here rather
than in New York or Baltimore, and, the
Delaware Breakwater, as the nearest
order station TO this city. was great
gathering point for ships in search Of
cargoes.
"Duriug the month of October, 1879,
fifty seven vessels Of this character
arrived at the Breakwater for orders
The list comprised Six steamships, six
ships. thirty-six barks and nine briggs
A startling falling off in the number of
vessels seeking this harborage is noted
during October.
"The craft arriving at the Breakwater
for orders during the month ending to-
day were but four in number, and only
two Of these were seeking cargoes. This
is the list which is to be compared with
the record Of ten years ago. Steamship,
Marlborough; barks, Julia, Glitner,
Wimmera."
la it's editorial column the Record
saws: "When Philadelphia was allowed
to take a hand In the export trade Of
the country the Delaware Braakwater
was a convenient call for orders In DC.
tober, 1879, fifty seven yes sells put into
the Brealkwater for Philadelphia cargoes.
During October, 1859, the number OF
vessels seeking cargoes at the Break
water was four The maritime impor-
tance Of Philadelphia has fallen so low
that the masters of seagoine
vessels no longer think IL worth Their

of the Delaware Bay. No other city il

The Republicans are raising a howl
about the modus operandi Of collecting
taxes in the City Of Wilmington. We
have no doubt the tax collectors knew
their business, and propose to look after
the city's interest in the matter Of col
lecting the money due the city, but they
do not propose TO be bulldozed by a gang
Of loafers. who hang about the Repub
lican Headquarters. The fact is that
these Republican heelers care nothing
about the city taxes or whether they are
ever collected ali they want is the negro
tax receipts securely lodged in their in
side pockets to use on election day. But
hiring the negroes to hang around the
collectors Office will avail them nothing
A bitter race war stirred up by those un
