The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1894-10-16

III.
When the Democratic party came into
power the prosperity died in the twinking
of an eye. 1t was because the policy of
free trade was to be put in practice.
The year 1892 was the most prosperous
this country ever saw, 50 900. 900. 900 were
laid up; twice as much all the rest of the
world together. The next year was the most
disastrous this country ever saw. Half
the factories closed. More than 100000
men wanted work and could not find it;
598 banks closed their doors; one-sixth of
the railroad mileage went into the hands
of the receiver; 16.6O0 failures were re-
ported; stocks shrank$9 ,000, 900: S9t 000,-
900 in wealth were lost. The rebellion
cost $4,000 100000 only and dead slavery
was compensation for IL all. For this loss
there has been no compensation. penalty
for blind ignorance in giving the Demo-
cratic party power is beng paid. In 1860
under the Democratic party there was
bankrupt treasury. To-day there is the
same. For thirty years the Democratic
party has been a party of destruction. 1t
is incompetent to administer the affairs of
the country. The Southern Democrats are
in power in the United States to-day and all
the interest they have is to raise cotton and
keep wages down. They are afraid of the
wages of the North: afraid that these wages
will move South. There was never such
bill known on earth the one which
passed recently. There was not a Democrat

There was not 1000 men in the country who
favored it. There are twenty men In the
Sugar Trust who favor 1t because they will
make $50 100000 year out of 1t. There are
fifty men in the Whiskey Trust who favor
1t. II put tax on whiskey and the whiskey
men need not pay 1t for eight years.
When 1t is made 1t is worth % cents a gal
Ion. In eight years II is worth 81 u gallon.
In eight years it will evaporate one-uuarter

made it would receive SO for it and the gov
ernment S4J In eight years the whiskey
\ is worth S120 and the government gets
but ss3 because one-fourth has evaporated.
The bill has many other friends abroad.
England is delighted Canada is also de-
lighted The Mckinley bill nut up the duties
double on all Canadian farm products and
they decreased 81 900 900 in one year and
benefited the farmers in this country. This
new bill puts some goods on the free list and
cut others to one-half Lumber was put on
the free list and wages in Maine have been
reduced nearly one-half Canada will food
the markets with lumber Native lumber
men will be compelled to go into other oc-
cupations and then wages in that occupa-
tion which they seek will go down. with
what this bill gives Canada a reciprocity
treaty could have been made which would
have admitted manufactured goods from
this country free.
