Hot meats and soups will inevitably

rHE pEN1NsuuA TRADE.

Wilmington wants the Peninsula
trade. It not only wants it, but 1t is
going to have II, for the simple reason
that It is the metropolis OF Delaware
and IS clearly entitled to it. Business
men OF this city have at last awakened
to the necessity OF taking steps to
bring about this desired result. They
have made arrangements whereby sew
eral excursions from Peninsula towns
to this city will be run during the
coming Spring and Summer. The get
ting of the people here is but one part
OF the work required to obtain their
steady custom. They must be con-
WINGED by our merchants that they can
get things as good and as cheap in this
city as they can in Philadelphia,
the difference in rate OF transportation
being duly considered.
Our merchants have been declaring
for years that they could I'LL all the
demands OF the Peninsula trade II the
buyers would but come here; but de-
spite these declarations, the trade has
been going right by our doors to Phila-
delphia and the merchants there have
been profting largely by IT, Now II is
proposed to have these Philadelphia
shoppers from down the state come
here for almost nothing and see for
themselves just what Wilmington mer-
chants have to sell. II, after they
have thoroughly inspected the stock in
trade, they are still convinced that
they can do better in Philadelphia,
then the merchants will be compelled
to ascertain in what respects the Phila-
delphia merchants can outrival them,
and do what they can to reconcile the
differences in price, quality and as
sortment.
The Delaware Peninsula is a pros
porous section of the country. It's trade
is worth hundreds of thousands of dol
lars a year, and the Board of Trade,
which represents the mercantile life OF
the community. can well afford to go
TO considerable expense to divert this
volume OF trade to local channels.
We sincerely trust that the excur-
sions planned will be well patronized,
and that ample arrangements will be
made to so greet the visitors that they
viii feel that they are still in Della
ware; that they are trading with Della
wareans, and that the money which
they are spending will remain in Della
wares commercial circles.
When the day arrives that the pee
pie Of Delaware regard the city Of viii
Inington with the same feeling Of in
terest that the rural Marylanders
evince for Baltimore, there will be no
complaint Of business stagnation, and
as the urban and rural sections of the
state become better acquainted there
will spring up reciprocity in trade
relations which will prove mutually
beneficial.
In connection with this movement
the local merchants should not lose
sight OF the fact that thousands of dol
lars are spent annually in Philadel-
phia by our own citizens. II would
not be bad idea to use some extraor-
dinary effort to keen It here at home
and thus profit in a double sense by the
new trade movement.
