same wages that have been paid in the
past
This is intimidation, pure and simple
II Is taking advantage of the necessi-
ties OF man and his family 10 coerce
him into sacrificing the rights and du-
ties of citizenship at the whim and be-
hest Of his employer. In other words,
to work for the employer and TO let
the employer think and vote for him.
Man sells his labor; a venal scoundrel
sells his vote. An honest employer ex-
poets fair days work for a fair days
wage; a scoundrelIy employer ex-
poets a fair days work for an unfair
days wage, and demands that the
wage-earner shall surrender into his
hands his right to think and to act in
matters which relate to the conduct of
a government, in which every man,
woman and child has a personal and
pecuniary interest.
Such intimidation is not confined to
the West. We have had It here in Will
mington. and still have IT, but it is not
carried on so openly as at Pullman.
There are hundreds OF laboring men
in Wilmington who have been made
the victims OF this desire on the part
OF the employer to do the thinking and
voting for the employe. But we are
pleased to note that this, is a year in
which the laboring man will sacrifice
anything in defence Of his right TO
think and vote for himself, and the
employers are powerless to prevent It.
We hear the cry raised that the
Democratic party is arraying class
against class. This is a mistake. The
pernicious protective and other class
legislation enacted by the Republican
party arrayed class against class many
years ago. It banded the monied men
off all classes in self-interest against
the working men, and made labor and
the necessaries of life the prey and
pelf of few thousands of men who
had means at command to entrench
themselves where they believed that
labor could never reach them, and de-
mand its rights under a government
designed to bring the greatest good to
the greatest number of its citizens.
This abuse of public functions is
what has led to the present conditions,
and to-day we have the bankers, brok-
ers, corporations and trusts arrayed
against labor.
History demonstrates that the peo-
pie, while patient under injustice for a
certain length OF time, are irresistible
when aroused, and usually know how
to get what they want at the hands of
those who have oppressed them.
We have a branch OF the Pullman
works in Wilmington. The company
may try its Chicago tactics here. The
Democrats OF Delaware could not be
given better campaign material and

WORK OF TNTTMIDATIoN.

If reports from Chicago be true. the
Pullman Palace Car Company has laid
off nearly 5000 employees because they
have espoused the cause of free silver
There never was a more gross example
of that intimidation which capital
seeks to exercise over labor in the mat
ter of voicing and voting its politi-
cal convictions in a crisis which SO
vitally affects its closest interests. II
is said that the 500 men who have been
permitted TO remain at work have

which has coupled with it a reduction Of
from 10 to so per cent. in wages. the

NoT A PoLITIcAL LAME.


J. Edward Addicks does not look like
a political lamb. He has never deported
himself in a manner which would lead
one to assume that he is such a meek
and lowly animal. His actions have
always marked him as a bull in a china
shop. Whatever led the regular Re
publicans TO believe that they could go
in and make him a willing sacrifice to
the Lares and Penates of the Republi-
can household we cannot imagine.
To ask Addicks to retire from the
fight for the United States senatorship
is like asking him to give up his life
That is what he is fighting for; what
he disrupted the Republican party FOR;
what he deadlocked the General AS
sembly for; what he defeated Dupont
at Washington for; what he seized the
state convention for; what he defeated
Higgins in his own ward for; what he
went TO st. Louis for; what he set M
his tickets for and what he spent his
thousands for. Get out of the fight

Republicans. or anybody else. He is for

tailed AS a result, the monthly aver
age of customs receipts, which lad in
creased in 1895 to s13, 100000, indicated
a reduction for the first eight months
Of the current calendar year to $12,-
100000 During that period of tine the
aggregate deficit of public revenue was
$34,50O, 600. or an amount equal to the
entire deficiency for the calendar year
1895.
From these figures, and the consider
ations they suggest, it is a compare
lively easy matter to deduce the ne
cessity for a sharp and material re-
duction in the expenses of the customs
service. 1t costs too much, by long
odds, to collect the duties imposed by
Federal statutes upon imported goods
complicated tariff schedules have been
devised, preferences and exceptions in
dicated in the statutes, and in every
possible direction the army of Custom
House hangers-on has been increased
In the fiscal year 1890 it cost the Fed
eral government S6.S59, ,9S6 to collect
nearly $3.50 100000 of public revenue
from the various Custom Houses. IN
1895 the expenses of collection was So
736,69O; although the revenue from
customs for the year had fallen to
sl52, 100000.
With the public revenue from this
source largely reduced, there should be
no hesitation in applying to the SER
vice the principles of economy which
are regarded as imperative and con-
trolling IN private enterprises. Up to
the present time, it is stated, the re-
duction in expenses of the customs SER
vice has been $175,000. This is not
enough. The deficiency appropriation
for last year was S1,115,O00, and for
the current year will doubtless consid-
erably exceed that um.-Newark

REDUCING PUBLIC EXPENDI-
TITRES.

Although scarcely in harmony with
the ideas of national expansion which
have long prevailed in Federal admin
istrative affairs, the apparent purpose
of the Treasury Department to reduce
expenditures in the custom service by
every possible means is none the less
an indication of wisdom constrained by
necessity. The receipts from customs
have become quite definitely establish
ed as a factor in the average revenue
of the government from year to year.
In the calendar year 1898, under the
tariff of 1890, the average monthly re-
ceipts of the Federal Treasury from
this source were S14, 800, 900. There
was a surplus of revenue in that year
during but three months; and the de-
felt of public revenue was about S43,-
100000. For the calendar year 1894 the
deficit was SCI O00,000 and the average
monthly receipts from customs were
reduced to Sl1,000,000. 1t had been an
ticipated that the low average Of in
come from this source would be vastly
enhanced under normal conditions of
trade, and the full operation of the
tariff of 1894; but this hope failed of
realization.
The heavy hand of necessity was
lalu upon the American people during
last year, and economy, either volun-
tary or involuntary, was practiced in
every direction. Foreign imports of
merchandise fell off by SS5, ,O0O, 600 and
our increased exports, even at the low
prices prevailing, created a heavy bal
ance Of trade in Eroupe in favor Of
this country. The policy of enlarg-
ing exports and diminishing imports
has been continued during the present
year so that up to August 81 last the
entire export balance in our favor for
the current calendar year was nearly
$4,000, 600. The conditions OF inter-
national trade and commerce thus es-
tablished were directly opposed to the
predictions of Treasury officials in re-
gard to the course OF customs receipts.

yielding large amounts of duties, i'm

WILL NOT MAKE VOTES.

There was a time when Ambassador
Bayard welded powerful influence IN
Delaware, but that time passed
away several years ago. His prolong-
ed absence from the state has kept him
out Of touch with the people, and we
doubt whether his letter sent to Sam
uel Bancroft, Jr., for exploitation, will
aid materially in advancing the cause
of those Democrats who have banded
themselves together to give the three
electoral votes of Delaware to McKin-
ley, and to elect Republican congress-
man in lieu of Hon. L. Irving Handy,
who has always proved himself a
Democrat of Democrats.
When Senator Gray and other men
of almost equal prominence. who have,
in years gone by, declared the policies
and actions OF the Democratic party of
Delaware, are here on the field and
powerless to stem the tide of free sill
yer, it is certain that the exploitation
OF a letter from Ambassador Bayard
can have no appreciable effect. These
gold Democrats may succeed in deliv-
ering the state to Mckinley, but we
doubt Il. for the free silver sentiment
has invaded the Republican lines, and
every day brings free silver advocates
from quarters never dreamed of.

Speech by c. Stuart Patterson.
"rhe Chicago platform demands the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
l when the market ratio Is 81 to 1. There
Is no magic either in silver or In the pro-
posed ratio. If when thirty-one ounces of
silver are equal in the markets of the
world to one ounce of gold 1t Is possible
for the government of the United States
by its mere fiat to make sixteen ounces
of silver equal to one ounce of gold II
can effect the same result il it declares
one ounce of silver to be equal to one
ounce of gold or it can raise the market
price of copper or lead or iron to an equal
ity with gold. The fallacy which under
lies all the arguments of the advocates
of free silver is that they do not distin-
guish between the functions of money as
q medium of exchange and as a standard
of value. The country has grown since
1892 There were then 3,OoOOOO of people;
there are now 7O00O,0OO of people. There
was then no foreign commerce: the ports
of the United States are now crowded
with the steamers which do the foreign
business of the country. There was then
no internal trade; the Internal trade Is
now vastly greater than the foreign COM
merce. There were then few banks.
there is now a system of national bank
ing which, in the security it affords to
depositors and note-holders, cXcites the
admiration of the civilized world. Then
all of the business of the country was
done by the actual handling of coin; now
the business of the country Is done by the
Use of representatives of coin. Then the
function of money as Il medium of cx-
change was its all-important function;

It should be convertible at par into the

A Boston Experiment.

Several months ago, when Josiah
Quincy was elected mayor Of Boston.
he invited leading mercantile associa-
tions such as the Board of Trade, the
Clearing g-house association and the
Real estate board. to send delegates to
an informal municipal council or ad-
visory COMMITTEES. which assembled for
the purpose of helping him TO deal with
the important public questions of his
Office. A number Of these bodies COM
piled with his request, and the result
has been that Boston today is enjoying
the most successful municipal govern
ment in its history.
The committee. having been selected
without regard to party. approaches its
work from a non-partisan standpoint.
and commands in consequence the sup
port often of both parties. 1t is point
ed out that this fact frequently secures
for municipal projects OF improvement
and reform favorable consideration
from councils which would not be COM
manded by mayor elected by n po-
litical party. j. is estimated that the
Boston common council. which Is Ee-
publican, has voted funds amounting
TO nearly s2.O00O 600 for enterprises that
might have failed on the unsupported
recommendation of Democratic
mayor.
