market of foreigners has been curtailed
on this side. But the ability TO esl ablish
carpet manufacturing on firm basis
here that has been given by protective
tariff has enabled the carpet industry to
take root, and In the last few years there
has been not only such a growth Of
manufactures in this country that the
greater part of consumption has been
supplied by domestic looms, but their
has been a steady improvement in the
quality Of the fabrics, so that there Is no
longer any question that the fabrics
made by the leading carpet manufac.
turers Of America are fully equal to and
in some cases superior TO the best that
issue from foreign looms.
That is one paragraph of the answer
(0 the other is like unto It, The whole
is a climaxicsl conglomeration Of wordy
nonsense. 1t does not say that the peo
pie Of this country are prevented from
buying carpets as cheiply as they might,
but it argues against the implied ad
mission.
There is tariff on wool intended to
increase the price Of wool for the benefit
of the farmer. Then there is tariff on
carpets intended to compensate the car
pet manufacturer for the increased price
Of wool and for the higher wages that he
is supposed to pay That would necessi
tats, so it seems to a plain man, that
American carpets would cost more than
they would cost otherwise. The justifi
cation for that is that we have built up o
carpet industry
SO have England and Germany and
France. We always had carpet indus
try. All primitive nations, indeed, have
had and have now some sort of carpet
industry.
The one intimation is that we would
not have the carpet industry If we had
not paid carpet makers bonus for max
ing carpets. Intelligence and history
contradict that. Another intimation is
that If we were to withdraw the protec
tive bonus the carpet industry would bt
destroyed.
Let us examine the books. That is toe
broad and important a statement to b,
accepted from partisan newspaper
writer without proof.
Some of the carpet manufacturer
themselves say it is not true. The styl'
Of writing ana the matter of the answe
are proofs that the writer is either ignor
ant or disingenuous. No man, who ha
anything to say writes in that style
The evasion Of simple answer to
simple question is ludicrously dishonest

LupIcRousLY DISHONEST.

Some of the writing in the protection
isu papers is humorous, much Of it is
harmful, great deal Of it is silly but
here is a phenomenal climax which ex.
ploits all three characteristics. We
quote at length to show what milk
and water diet the babes Of this wing Of
the Republican party feed on. The New
York Press contains the following
editorial under the title American and
Foreign Carpets"
ITO THE EDITOR OF The PRESS: SIR
A friend Of mine informs me that
through the agency Of the protected
tariff the people Of this country are pre-.
vented from buying their carpets as
cheaply as they otherwise could Will
you please inform me whether this is
true or nOtl He says that the imposi
tion OF tariff upon foreign made carpets
raises their price so that one must
either pay the advanced price upon the
Imported goods or buy the inferior
American product. PRoTEcrIoNisT.
The duty on carpets varies from 40 to
80 per cent, but "Protectionists" in

the relative value Of foreign and domesss
tic goods There are good and poor car.
pets made in this country and good and
poor carpets made abroad. The ten
dency a road lately has been toward a
depreciation in the quality in order TO
chespen the fabric, inasmuch as the

THE newspapers are indications Of the
character, culture and intelligence OF the
people Other things being equal they
depend chiefly on those traits of the peo'
pie for their usefulness to the commu-
nifty and their profit to their owners
In both respects the EVENING JOURNAL
is conspicuous and acknowledged sue
cess. The enemies IL has made are
proofs of its usefulness; the
circulation it enjoys is a proof Of ito
financial success However small, self
ish, ignorant and prejudiced men may
dislike the paper; for reasons best
known TO themselves and not mentioned
in public, no one can deny the facts
concerning the success of the EVENING
JOURNAL 1t has the largest number Of
readers, and prints and sells a
greater number of papers than any
other paper ever printed or sold
In Wilmington. That establishes the
position of the EVENING JOURNAL.
However individual citizens, for various
causes and preiudices, may treat it, Is a
matter for them to decide The EVENING
JOURNAL is here; IL is success; 1t has
great influence. It depends on mans
personal traits, tastes. intelligence,
ambitions and loves whether he will do
his share to make it better or worse. He
cannot crush IL. His efforts TO hurt it

The Spider and Fly.

The Philadelphia Call says the
Spider and fly to appear at the
Grand Opera House on Friday evening
next, September s, is by far the best at
traction that has been produced at the
new Empire Theatre It fairly bursts
open with new features, new ideas, new
costumes, new ballets, pretty girls and
good comedians. and some exceedingly
popular music The house was filled to
the dome and the number of recalls
heightened an already long program To
60 to work and enumerate all the clever
people in the cast would take too much
space. There are some novel stage
transformations and some remarkably
gr0tesque costumes. Much of the play
is in McGinty land, otherwise the
bottom Of the sea. The groupings and
maj ching of the company in the en-
sembles made beautiful stage pictures.
The pantomimlsts y ere excellent and in
fact as a spectacular burlesque this
production takes a very high rank Its
season here opened with a success that
will be continued throughout the week

The BANKING SYSTEM.

II does not seem impracticable TO re-
wise the entire banking system so that
exigencies, such as we have recently
encountered, might be met and over
come. One difficulty seems to be that
our banks are all independent of each
other \ They may assist each other II
they choose, but they may preserve their
balances when they do not need them
and deprive other banks, or other sec
tions of the country, Of what is actually
needed to conduct business.
It has been suggested that there
should be system Of parent banks,
with branches in many places, so that
the smaller banks would have all the
facilities Of the great metropolitan banks
without greater expense, or greater
capital, than would be required to trans
act the ordinary business Of that local
ity. This would obviate the difficulty
of obtaining the cash to move the crops
or conduct the milling mining and man
featuring enterprises in the various
sections where there are only occasional
heavy demands for cash.
There was as much money in the coun-
try during the recent crisis as ever. but
each bank, having to depend solely on
It's own resources, needed and kept
more currency than would have been
necessary If it had relied upon some
great central bank in which all had per
feet confidence. There may be some
scheme TO revive the state banks
under a general law by which
one central bank might issue
currency, amply secured under govern
ment inspection and supervision, OF
which the branches could claim the uss
on the shortest possible notice Som,
such system might be devised which
would have the merits OF both ole
systems, Of state and national banks
without the faults of either
The only objection that we apprebent
to such a system is the dread OF cen
tralization. The Federal Government
should have as little to do with tn,
affairs Of the people as possible. Tn,
objection might be overcome by max
ing it as easy for a local branch Il
begin business, as It is for an indepen-
dent national bank to begin business
now
With one or few large central bank
Of issue, or Of guarantee, in each state
there would be no confusion Of curreno,
and no depreciation. A note Issued b,
any one Of the local banks Of Delawar
and guaranteed by the central stat
bank, under the supervision of Fedora
officials, would pass current at par, from
Maine to Texas. ANY local bank coul,
draw on its parent bank freely, so tha
money, or its equivalent, could be com
manded at once wherever and wheneve
needed
Money could not be employed NOR
safely, cor more profitably, than in moving
the crops. This plan would put none
in abundance where It was needed mos
and prevent such money scarcity whe
money was plentiful, as we have jus
experienced.

AvrER stating some Of the facts con
cerning the banking system and the
currency and misstating the timely
efforts Of the Democrats to meet the
currency problem OF the future, with
partisan super6ciality Of knowledge
at second hand the Morning News says
The attempt to add 10 the national
bank system by creating quasi national
banks in assuming control Of the state
banks Is but cowardly makeshift ,,
The whole animus OF .he attack upon
the Daiionsl banks is Democratic preju-
dice against Republican institutions.
That mode Of treating an effort TO i'm
prove the banking system and TO pro-
vide banks aud currency that will have
stability, convenience and security, is
pitiful. Il cannot be combatted because
It is unreasonable prejudice. It lacks

knowledge It is, in short. pitiful No

IT seems that the recent elections in
France have not changed the political
complexion Of the administration or Of

the same Jacques ST. Cere says:

Chamber who has any renown as an

TIE combination that Emperor VII
liam has made with Italy has had the
effect OF strengthening the bond be-
tween France and Russia. When one
power doubles its army the rival power
adds one hundred per cent. So the

goes on. II must end in a war or in a
general overthrow of the monarchs and

The weather to-day is likely
to be clear.

Self color figures play a
pretty part in the new Dress
Stuffs.
Modest, always modest, but
there's a lift and lightness to
the designs that give delight
full character to every pattern.
Women of the quietest tastes
can wear them almost as freely
as they would the favorite
plain weaves.
Some of the most pleasing
effects are Epingle, matte and
granite grounds-the dainty
grained-faced stuffs that so
many are wanting.

But smooth fabrics go hand
