NeoOS in noticing the closing of the
Diamond Match factory in our city
says: cit is one Of the results of the
operation of trust, If it is, leading
Democrats are responsible for it. The
truth is that Democratic legislation
brought it about. Under the Wilson
tariff millions of boxes of matches are
imported from Europe, aud sold at
such low prices that the Diamond
Match Company and other American
manufacturers are forced to econOmize
in every way in order to make any pro-
fit on their sales. 1t is this competi-
ton that is responsible for the closing
up of this factory in our city. and the
throwing of some 200 hands out of en-
ployment.- - Wilmington Republican.
