CITY SOLICITOR TOWNSEND
AT DELAWARE CITY

City Solicitor Sylvester d. Townsend.
Jr, was the principal speaker at a
Republican rally under the auspices Of
the Taft League Republican Club at
Delaware City last night The meeting
was largely attended ". Townsend
said.
Three per cent. Of our manufactures
are shipped abroad. How much Of this
was sold cheaper than at home? A
commission was appointed to look into
this matter, and they found that out
OF the three per cent of our total
manufactures shipped abroad ninety per
cent was sold higher than at home.
Let us bring this to dollars and cents.
or our manufactured goods we con-
sumo s97 worth out of eyery 500. This
leaves SO worth shipped abroad. and
ninety per cent. Of that. or $40 worth
is sold higher than at home. This
means that 30 cents worth out Of every
500 worth of our manufactured goods
is sold lower abroad than at home. II
Is well said that if we have a good
market for 90 per cent. we could throw
tho other three per cent into the
ocean
For the sake Of being certain that
$4,000 900 worth shall sell as high
abroad as is sold here, should we kill
the market for s12 900. 100000 for the
purpose Of aiding our competitors and
put our laborers on par with a hungry
horde of pauper paid men in foreign
lands"
