No man in the state has as many polIt-
ieal enemies as Samuel Bancroft, Jr., and
no man in the state has given greater
cause for such enmity.
The Prohibihonists and Republicans
regard him as turn coat aud traitor.
while the Democrats have no faith what
ever in bis present political professions
Il IS in this light that he is regarded by
the great political parties, but the enmity
does not stop there.
The friends Of John J. Dougherty have
never forgiven Mr Bancroft for defeat

Wilmington, and for using all means at
command to seat Austin Harrington,

following have been waiting patiently
Ssr years for the opportunity which now

The supporters Of ex-speaker Of the

sweets Of revenge.
The followers Of Colonel William B

is simply return TO that policy. 1t is
not at All an experimental change to an
untried system. It ia the revival and
renewal of a system that was lproved
success The tariff that Henry Wilson,
speaking for the Republicans. pro
nounced in 1857 to be the best ever
placed on the statnte books, differed
from the present tariff only in being
lower in its duties
IL is a fact to be borne In mind, also,
that low tariff was something that no
one sought to disturb while It's effects
were seen IN operation. Republicans and
Democrats agreed on this point while It
was an object lesson before their minds
That tariff was changed only az a war
measure. 1t was changed because home
industry was made the subject Of direct
taxation, and because OF the need Of in
creased revenue to the Government from
every kind Of taxation It was changed
with the distinct pledge that the change
should not be permanent The Rspubll-
can party promised over and over again
that when the needs OF the National
treasury for the war were sover and
when manufacturers at home should be
freed from internal taxation, the tariff
should be brought back to that lower
scale Of duties which was universally
recognized as beneficial.
There were several attempts made to
keep that promise A bill was passed
which reduced the entire scale Of duties
but It was repealed the next year
from a fear resulting from the panic OF
1878 that it would not yield sufficient
revenue for the support Of the Govern
ment. This was great mistake for it
was later proved that it would have done
so. But at this time there began to be a
disposition among the Republicans TO 60
back on their promises and that section
Of the party controlled by the trusts and
monopolles came into existence, ss a
power. The result was the election Of
Harrison and the passage of the Mckinley
act. Previous to that time the Republican
party was divided on this question and
many Of its most prominent members
were In favor Of tariff reform. Since then
the Republicans have been controlled by
the corporate trusts Of the country who
have furnished the money through which
their successes have been obtained.
