one-half miles long, 20 feet deep and 172
feet wide, and now the largest ocean
steamer can ran right TO her docks. It
cost $40. .000, 900. but already the invest
ment has paid richly.
Hamburg ~ an Object Lesson.
Hamburg, Ia Germany, located on the
Elbe, spent millions Ia improving her
harbor, and no expense was spared to
make her commercial facilities perfect
The result was not only gratifying, but
Immediate. In 1880 the registered ton
mage at Hamburg was 2. 766 500 tons In
1890 1t was 5,202 1926, nearly $50 per
cent. gain. This proves that there Is
nothing more responsive to properly
addressed invitations than the merchant
shipping trade, and that II a city
solcits that trade and prepares TO
lecoIve It, It's acquisition can be con-
fdently counted on
New York city has spent millions on
her river front, and only year or two
ago expended SO 600. 600 on the docks on
the North river alone. And the llst
could be extended.
And now, with examples, where
millions have been spent, IN sight, the
Wilmingtonian returns to his own city
and sees how these results can be
obtained not at such immense cost, but
by the expenditure OF a few paltry
thousands A road to the river, a
substantial bulkhead from the jetty to
Edge Moor, and presto-the nut is
cracked and ready for the eating. The
benefits may not be as immediate IS in
the case Of Manchester, but that they
will follow is as certain as It is that they
have done so In every instance whei Q
local enterprise has taken the place of
the penny wise, pound-foolish idea which
now seems to actuate very many other
wise shreWd business men.

sylvAnis. Delaware or B & systems.
A Greater Water Carriage.
Wilmington lies seventy miles from the
gAtewRys which open into the Atlantic
ocean. but this fact is conceded to be an
advantage rather than otherwise. 1t Is
twenty mine miles nearer than Philadel.
phia, and twenty nine miles of river,
tortuous and made difficult by shoals and
dangerous distractions New Orleans
is 107 miles from the Gulf OF Mexico,
Baltimore has the Pstapscoiriver and the
Chesapeake bay between 1t and the capes,
Antwerp lies fftytwo miles inland on a
stream by no means TO be compared with
the Delaware, Hamburg lies 20 miles from
the North Sea. and Rotterdam 35 miles, yet
not one of them but has. as the result Of
energy and an insight which was not dulled
by any fear of spending money to &C
complish an end, many, many times the
commerce that enters the great
Wilmington. The very fact that water
carriage Is cheaper than that by land,
and that Wilmington has that carriage
some 20 miles further inland than either
Boston or New York Is an advantage to
Aer.
Actual and Possible Industries.
Now as to Wilmington's advantages.
She already possesses immense industries
which despite the fact that very much
has been neglected that weuld tend to
increase them, have prospered and grown,
In the manufacture Of morroco 1t ranks
second Of the cities Of this nation, and 1t
draws It's raw material from every part
OF the globe. In car building, machinery,
etc 1t holds high place. and It's finished
work finds market In the Eve continents.
In the shipment OF petroleum Whining
ton has mighty interest, for the port OF
Marcus Hook Is within her Jurisdiction,
the United States Government having
so decided, despite the vigorous opposl-
tion, and powerfully backed protest OF
Philadelphia. Behind her lie the great
coal fields Of Pennsylvania, and thou.
sands Of acres of land rich 10 minerals
and manufactures and inhabited by
Intelligent, thrifty aud prosperous
people. At its very front door lies the
fertile territory of New jersey, dotted
with thriving little villages, and pre-
sentiDg a market for the wares of the
world. II is a situation fitting for city
OF Rings, and the very keystone to tbs
arch Of prosperity.
How to Develop These Advantages.
How to develop these great natural
advantages is an important question.
Nature has done her share; the United
States Government has done, or is ready
TO do, at least something to make ready
this great pathway to the sea, and It now
devolyes on the city and her citIzsns to
see to It that these gifts bs utilized
judicIously and sdvsntageously. The
river frontage on the Christians and
Brandywine is available, but cannot be
reached from the water. Tue frontage
on the Delaware is blocked by the marsh
land and cannot be reached from the city.
The remedy for the former Is now 10

The Question OF Expense.

that something can never be obtained

silver horseshoe as he did so, and the
multitude howled again. The audi
ence was composed principally OF
stock yards men. who manifested wild
approval of some Of the remarks made
by the candidate. Mr.. Bryan said In
part:
We are going through contest which
every generation must have, because,
they become Indifferent to political abuses.
these abuses get possession of government
and run 1t until the people get tired and
then the people rise in their strength and
reform abuses and purify government
and start 1t on again as 1t ought to be.
(Cheers).
Now, my friends, want you to remem-
Der that you have a right to participate
in government. The ballot is given to
you. not as somebody else wants you to
use 1t, but as you want to use II your
selves. The Australian ballot Is here, and
1t Is here for your protection and l want
you who are employees to feel that you
have the same right to cast your vote that
you have as much right to try to make him
to make you vote as he wants you to.
They tell me that some of the big men are
against us, l tell them that big man
does not vote any oftener than a little
man. (CheerO. When they tell me that
the money OF the country is against us l
tell them that while money talks. thank
heaven, it does not vote in this country.
