The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-05-01
SATURDAY. MAY ~, 1897.
Opposed to Protec ton.

notwithstanding the prostration of the
manufacturing business Of our country by
the Inauguration of the policy advocated
by Grover Cleveland and his satellites.
We had supposed that the hardships and
poverty of the great mass of the laborers
of our country for the past four years,
would have led every Intelligent man, net
engaged In the importation of foreign
goods, to favor greater protection to our
Industries, but 1t seems that the Every
Evening Is Joined to its idol, and like the
Bourbons cannot forego its heresles or
learn anything new. The idea that the
so-called tariff retormers favor the estab-
llshment of domestic industries is su.
premely ridiculous. Without protection
the manufacturers cannot make their
business pay unless the wages of their
employees shall be reduced to something
like the same amount as paid In England.
When our people are satisfied to work for
the Same wages as Europeans do the
manufacturers may BIO sustained without
tariff, but not before. 1t Is folly TO
start new industries unless q market is
provided for them in our own country and
he Is an enemy to them who advocates any
other policy.
8Under the protective system our country
paid off millions of dollars of indebted
ness, the people were prosperous beyond
precedent and every one acknowledged
that 1882 was the banner year Of our Gov.
ernment and yet set of mousing polit-
icai aspirants ignore the facts and pretend
to fear the passage Of the Dingley tariff
will bring disaster to the laboring classes.
None are SO blind as those persons who
will not see, and in this category we may
class the publishers Of tho Every Evening,
JAMES NJ. GoRDY, who was convicted CT
the murder Of his wife, and who is now
confined in Georgetown Jail awaiting the
day of his execution says that he Is limo
cent and that he will tell the story of his
life when on the scaffold. He expresses
the wish that his sermon should DO preach
ed In the new NJ Il. Church at George
town. The man is either hardened vii
lain or the creature of circumstances.
From tho evidence brought out at his ,rial
and tho number Of women who came for
ward to testify to corresponding with
Gordy we think he will pay the penalty
OF the crime, Of which he protests he is
innocent, on the suafold. All his cant
and hypocrisy will never SOC him as no
would like to appear, posing as u victim
Of some one else's misdeeds. There is no
doubt but that Gordy killed his trusting
wifo for the purpose OF securing what little
money she had. He traded In felnalu mer-
chanjise and apparently had no trouble in
getting married as often as he desllod only
to leave his victim as soon as he procured
possession of what money or valuablos
she was possessed Of. He says he is
looking to Jesus He should have praC-
ticed that before turning TO such crooked
methods to make living. The nun Is u
hardened villain, with not one spark of
manhood In his composition. If eyer u
man deserved hanging, Gordy Is surely
that man.
