THE LEVY COURT

Inc most important matter tC
be decided by the voters Of New
Castle County at the election on
November 9Th, is the selection
of proper Levy Court Commits
SionerS. The Democrats have
proven conclusively by their past
record that they cannot or will
not manage the county's affairs
economically. In 1891, when the
Republicans succeeded to con
troll after 10 years Of Democratic
rule, they found the treasury
empty and 100000 Of debts.
In two years the Republicans
paid off the debts and left the
credit of the county first class.
The gerrymander under the Five
Commissioner act returned the
Democrats to power and resulted
in the same old story Of extrava-
gance and waste. The condi-
tions in 1901 are too well known
for comment.
A large share Of the credit for
the present low tax rate and
economical system Of manage
ment of county affairs is due to
Merritt N. Willis, who has been
accorded by the Republicans Of
the Sixth District, a re-nomina-
tion that was almost unanimous,
and the party is willing to rest
its claims to success upon his
record as an official and as a
citizen. Certain charges are
being made by Democrats in the
Eastern section of St. Georges
Hundred that the poor condition
of some of the county bridges
and causeways is due to the
small appropriation for this dis
trict for repairs, etc. The falsity
of these charges can be best re-
futed by reference to the report
of the auditors, which show that
in no year has Commissioner
Armstrong expended one-half
the sum allotted to this district
Within certain limits a Levy
Court Commissioner is allowed
free hand. AS THE TRAN.
SCRIPT pointed out more than a
year ago, the matter of repairs
has been almost criminally neg
lected, and we said then and we
say now it was done for the ex-
press purpose of furnishing
this campaign stery. There is
more than one causeway that by
the expenditure Of $500 a year or
eighteen months ago would have
saved $1,000 that must now be
spent by the next Commissioner.
But the interests of the County
has been made subsidiary to the
possible election of enough Dem
ocratic Levy Court Commission
ers to control the appointment
of taxcollectors and constables,
and tie graft.of furnishing lum-
Der and other supplies.

give their regular customers the
benefit of the transaction in prefer
ence to strangers, and if concern
regularly loses money on its surplus
products it stops producing a
surplus. Men don't do business
year after year at loss unless they
are ounces or are afraid of dying
rich and that fear don't worry
many of us to any great extent.
The truth is that when a protec-
ted industry sells it's commodities
cheaper in the markets they are
protected against-and there are
many of them that do the differ
ence between the cheaper foreign
price and. the dearer home one is
not protection, not one dollar goes
into the Golfers of the govern
ment in the way of revenue, not a
dime additional does the producer
of raw material receive, not a penny
less in price does the home con-
sumner pay and the wage worker
who creates the commodity gets no
increase in his pay, this difference is
pure ssvelvet'' for those who own
the industry. 1t is private profit
at public cost. 1t is tribute, not
legitimate tariff. The American
public is perfectly willing to pay
for protection but it kicks and
ought to kick on paying tribute to
individuals. The official that in
sists that such a tariff ought not to
be- revised, represents individuals
and not the people. The voters
who support such an official are
voting money out Of their own
pockets for the benefit of those who
are better off than themselves.
They are willing TO wear ducking
that other men may array them
selves in broadcloth. 1t is a sort
OF. mild political lunacy. A man
may be, and often is, genius in
business but lunkhead in politics.
He votes for a man because he al |
ready holds the office, because he
likes him personally, because he has
a reputation, because he has sent
HIM seeds or government publica-
tions, because he feeds him taffy in
quantities, and mighty |
seldom takes the trouble to investi-
gate how he stands on questions
that are of vital interest to the
public. If it were not for political
political demagogues
could not exist. If men exercised |
the same judgment in politics as
they do in business, jobbery corrup- |
ton and favorltism would disappear
from legislation and many an Off
cial now drawing fat salary would
be earning his living in private life.
We make the statement it can easily |
be verified by asking yourself and
fellow republicans if it is not true,
that not ten republicans i'll hun

that commodities that arc sold
cheaper in the markets they are

market should receive the benefits

tenths of the republican voters will

how their legislators stand on this
question.

TARIFF TALK.
(No. 81

WHAT INDUSTRIES SHOULD Be
PRoTECTED-Commodities that are
sold cheaper in markets they are
protected against than they are sold
at home.
There has been much discussion
on this phrase of the tariff question.
1t has been made the subject OF
congressional investigation and re,
port. If we recollect accurately the
report sets forth that there are only
about five million dollars worth of
commodities annually sold in
foreign markets cheaper than they
are sold at home. We are of the
opinion that this report is of little
or no value. Whenever any politi-
cal party is in control of state or
nation and they order an investiga-
ton and report on any subject, they
always get the sort of report they
order. This ought not to be the
case but it is. The cold fact re-
mains, however, and any one who
has visited foreign countries will
bear out the statement, that there
are numberless articles of American
manufacture that can be bought
cheaper in the markets they are
protected against than they can in
the home market. We do not care
whether the annual amount of such
sales is one million or one hundred
million, the principle is the same,
In these articles we are striving to
demonstrate principles and not
details.
To insist that an industry that
produces a commodity in this
= country and after paying ocean
transportation and in most instances
a foreign duty, and then sells 1t
cheaper in the foreign market than
it does at home, needs protection is
an absolute absurdity. 1t is almost
an insult to the intelligence of the
people to advance it. One might
as well argue that when Jim Jeffries
travels through the country he
ought to be accompanied by two
burly policemen lest some unframed
farmers boy should tackle and
knock the stuffing out of him.
That this condition exists no one
who has the least knowledge of the
subject pretends to deny.
The specious argument advanced
by the ''stand patters'' and sstariff
boosters" is that where this condi.
ton does exist the concerns doing
it are disposing of their surplus
stock at less than cost. If that is
true it would be better if they
would market their regular stock in
other lands and sell their surplus at
home. 1t isn't true, but there is
truth enough in the statement to
make it a plausible and dangerous
falsehood. A naked lie is SO re-
pulsive that fair minded men instan.
taneously and scornfully reject it.
Only when it is sufficiently yeneered
with truth to hide its real
character, will men accept.
believe and act on it. Occasionally
concerns find themselves over
stocked with commodities and dis
pose of this excess at less than cost.
