The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-04-21

Never Satisfied,
The free-traders never will be salts
fed unless they break down the Nc
kinley tariff. and destroy the manu-
factories that have arisen under 1t.
They predicted before it was passed
that 1t would ruin the country, and
though the country is prosperous I'M
der 1t as it never was before. they still
cling to the old hue and cry that the
country Is ruined, and the people are
oppressed and ground down to the
earth by an oppressive tariff. The
people who spend their IN onsy for tho
articles they need know whether they
pay more for them than they paid be-
fore. Notwithstanding the fact that
WOODEN clothing is less In price than
ever, these free-traders have punched
hole In the tariff and placed wool on
the free list, and the only thing that
stands now between breathing down
our wooden industries and protection,
is Republican Senate, and q Republi-
can President.
These free-traders will never be- cat
isfied until the manufacture Of wooden
goods is left with England or manu-
featured here at cheap English wages
So with the binding twinq industry.
Before the Mckinley tariff passed, far
mers had to give fifteen and sixteen
cents a pound for it, but now they
can get it for from eight I'd ten cents
apound. The tariff on Binding twine,
raw material, is only seventenths Of q
cent pound. left on to encourage the
raising of flax and hemp in this eoun-
try. But this was too much for the
free-traders.
That seven-tenths OF cant pound
protection had to come of; what car.
ed they for the fax and hemp raisers
of this country? India sissal and ma
nilla grass are good enough for them.
So another bole was punched in the
Mckinley tariff by the free-trade
House of Representatives.. The same
action has been taken in regard to cot
ton bale ties. The Mckinley tariff
built up the manufacture Of them in
this country instead OF England, ant
the Southern planters got their ties
cheaper than ever. Butthey did moi
want il that way because cheap cotton
ties came through the Mckinley tariff
and SO another hole is punched
through the tariff, and sd far as til,
free-trade House of Repre- sentatives Il
concerned cotton ties must hereafta
be made in England or made here q
English wages. =. .....#
The tin-industry has not bee
punched yet, but the FIRE traders ar
not satisfied with 1t. AS there hav
been some thirty tin-p1ate manufaC
\ tories established in the United State
since tho Mckinley tariff passed, an,
Tin is no higher than it always was.
