SATURDAY. sIaRon II. 1893.
The Exuected Change.

The new administration Is now plac-
cd In such a position that the contem.
plated change expected by the people,
by those who voted for It, must sooner
or later take place. The people want
ed change. voted for a change, and
thsy will see a change. A change
Is one OF the things that Is conil-
IDENTIFY expected and looked for. and
therefore business men have their
doubts about the future, not knowing
exactly how the change may affect
them, The truth OF the matter is, that
last November the people voted for a
change when they were enjoying the
greatest measure of prosperity, and
did not need change. What does a
change under those circumstances
mean2 1t means exactly this. When
one is ut the top and cannot get high
or, change means going downward.
Practical business men know all
about this, and voters who voted for
O change will know more about 1t

crosses. The city OF Wilmington to-
day has thousands OF unemployed
workmen, more than she has had for
many years past. Scores of men may
be met daily upon the streets who are
waiting for employment in the shops
from which they were laid of. A
great many OF these men were first and
foremost in voting for q change, and
the others who did not SO vote were
unwilling victims of those who did.
After a while voters will be very apt
to know that change when wages
are the best ever known. cannot be
expected to mean anything else than

ty.. cannot be expected to mean any.
thing else but diminished employment
for labor. A change where new works
BY the hundred are in progress OF cree
tion means the stoppage of many.
It was change that the voters
wanted, and they will lie very fortu.
nate II they do not get it to theii
hearts content. 1t is q well settled
fact already that the administration
OF MI. Cleveland will not make times
any better. This is impossible unless
his policy will build more manufac
tories, employ more laborers. and pay
better wages. No doubt this Is the
change that many voted Tor, but 1t (;
not the change that they are going tc
get. Enough is known already to set
that Mr.. Cleveland cannot tell what 1!
