EVERYBODY should hear Governor Nc
Kinley's speech He Is the best advocate
for tax upon many to assist few rich
paupers; the most plausible beggar for
the infant industries that the Republi-
can has produced. He is commonly
credited with the ability TO make a work
ingman pull big, new silver dollar out
of his pocket, wipe tear out of his eye
and hand the dollar over TO a
committee TO save Carnegie from
the poor house. Governor Mckinley
is honest in his belief and he is
respectable and upright in his life. He
believes that his doctrine of protection is
right. lie believes that the road
TO the prosperity of the whole
country is the inconsistent and
illogical method Of taxing the whole
people to make few rich in order that
the few rich may help the whole people
to keep out Of the poor-house. McKin-
ley himself, however, is courteous to
everybody and be deserves courtesy
from everybody in Wilmington. He will
have it. We are glad TO have anyone TO
make us happier; we are delighted to
have some one 10 explain that the pros
perity of this country is not due to
Providence, the energy of the people,
good government and to the
most magnificent country, the most
fertile soil, the grandest rivers and lakes
in the world, but TO the Mckinley bill.
We shall be glad TO have somebody ex-
plain TO the worlSngmen that they are
getting rich; that they do not know
what is good for them in paying cents
for sugar, when, by rights, Spreckles.
Havemeyer and knight onght to have o
cents for it. Quinine and sugar and
morocco skins are too cheap There is
such a thing as too much cheapness.
IT is not strange that the Republicans
are tardy in opening their local campaign
for they have nothing to say. They
cannot defend their levy court; they
cannot apologize for their city council
Tho entire administration of county and
municipal affairs has been a depressing
succession of reckless expenditure and
official scandals. The high officials who
have been caught red handed are not the
worst sinners; they were, on the con
trary the best men in the party, but
they were not slick enough to steal and
conceal They erred in being caught
The Republican woods are full of more
of the same sort only they
are hiding, Indian fashion, be
hind trees Having gone into Office as
reformers they have behaved so badly
that the party did not dare nominate a
single member of the levy court for re-
election It would be the same with the
steering committee and the attorney for
the court. The Republicans would not
dare TO nominate any Of the men who
bribed the two collectors with 81, 600 OF
| any OF the men who subscribed that
large amount Of money for the purpose
Of corruption. There % is. nothing
in the career of the city council
capable of defense Like the levy court
the city council has increased the tax
rate and created a deficit. The thing
that becomes them most ip their ofIicia
career is the leaving ito iInEping t.
national issues what can Mckinley tell III
of the benefits to Delaware, of his guild
to prosperityY The tin plate factories
in Anderson, Piqua, Elwood and othe
foreign seaports and the sheet Of Amer
lean tin exhibit on the platform last nigh
philadelphia are beautiful and encourag
ing but how are they helpful to Delaware
how can they count against the depress
ing facts of New Castle and Dover
, The reason the Republicans are tard
with their campaign is that they hay
literally nothing to say.
