BEAUTIES OF SHELLPOT

ural Beauties Combined with Arti-
noial Conveniences Make the Park
Very Pleasant,
Sherpot Park was visited by two
EVENING JOURNAL reporters yesterday
afternoon. Between 100 and 200 persons
were on the grounds enjoying them
selves as best suited their tastes, al
though there were no unusual attrac-
tions TO draw them thither.
The truth Is that persons who want a
D cent electric car excursion and several
hours Of quietude find this free park very
enjoyable, the women ana children, in
particular patronizing it.
The Wilmington City Railway Com
pany, under whose auspices the place was
opened is spendinga a great deal of money
IN putting in the necessary conveniences
and attractions. This is, doubtless at
almost q dead loss as the only profit IL
derives is from the Increased number Of
fares rung up on the Shellpot cars.
The place has many advantages. II Is

THERE is no article In the Atlantic
Monthly for this month more readable
than that on women as ushers. The article
refers to the London theatres only, but
they have been employed with varying
success In this country. The article
referred TO Is not determinate. The
writer refers to the women ushers as
angels bringing ice cream and black
coffee, and as nuisances charging silver
fees for programs. We do not know
what his preferences are. But, for all
that, It is a matter deserving some at.

II seems the proper thing for some Of
their papers to prove that the Republi-
can voters are fools; that they don't
know what they are voting for and are
liable to believe anything they hear the
wicked Democrats say. That is
an easy, but certainly humillatlng way,
for the Republican papers to account for
the failure Of their party to support Har-
rison, Reid, the Mckinley bill, the Force
party and to vindioate the Reed Con.
gress This is all the more astonishing
when the party retained all its least
intelligent and least virtuous voters and
lost its white vote In its best states.

slumped on Harrison, and.then there are

wicked Democrats deceive the sturdy
Republican farmers Of those states II

II there were any philosophie iustif-
cation for the theory of protection,
there would be some advantage in the
practice Of the plan OF making a
few men, or few industries, rich at
theiexpense Of the whole country.
squirm, apologize and deny, as they
may, there is no sense in protective
tariff which does not give somebody
some advantage over somebody else.
Those who explain the protective theory
say It gives our home industries the
advantage over the foreign industries.
Well granted, but how9
They reply by increasing the price OF
the foreigners goods so that he cannot
compete with domestic goods. fThen
they proceed to prove. to their own
satisfaction, that the price Of domestic
goods is not greater, but less. And
some Of the apologists prove that the
foreigner pays our taxes
That proves too much. 10 puts us in
the position Of protecting a cheap,
domestic article against dear. foreign
article which, of course, is an sbsurdity.
But, even granting that our factories
and facilities are inferior to those Of
free trade and protection countries
alike, in Europe; and that our working
men cannot put out a pound, yard, a
dozen, or any unit Of manufactured
articles as cheaply as the workingmen in
those countries, how could the country
be enriched by paying bounties TO keep
those Improbable and pauper industries
aaoatg
The question answers itself it is an
absurdity. For, the more industry Of
that sort we have, the poorer we would
be. II we should turn our entire capital,
energy and skill to that sort Of industry
we would become a national poorhouse.
II we select few Industries, as has been
done, and bonus, OF boom, or protect

tion.
But, even If chat were justifable or
excusable, by suy law Of God or man.
why not settle upon some plan of selec
tion that can be recognized by the people
who are not benefited by those bonuses,
and give them SO much per year, as in
the cases Of maple and cane sugar.
If the theory Of protection is
right, or just, or honest, or not a rob
berry Of the many to enrich the few
then the practice Of bonus giving Is
right. That acquaints US with the ex
tent and purpose Of the robbery.
DO you wish TO destroy American In
dustry, is the next question of the
robber, by withdrawing the protection
Of the government"
DO you wish these four million slaves
to starvey" said the protectionist slave
holder forty years ago, when requested
TO consent to some plan Of freedom.
The slave holder and the protectionist
make precisely the same argument. the
same plea. The robber proteeiionists
prophesy the sama destruction, disaster
starvation aud universal annihilation
tnst the slave holders prophesied. They
both make the same absurd and selfish
demands, with TIE same illogical deduc-
tions Of greed from the Bible and from
political economy.
