|. Coleman dupont RetireS
Head of Powder Trust Withdrawing
From Politics

Because OF i'll health, Gen. I. Coleman
du Pont has ~relinquished, the active
direction of the Republican State SEN
trail Committee in Delaware, and with
the sanction OF the other members, he
has appointed Mayor Horace Wilson
vice-chairman, with power to act.
While it is given out that the reason
for Mr.. duPonts withdrawal from the
management of the State Committee's
affairs is because OF his illness, it is stat
ed that this step is but the forerunner OF
his complete retirement from all partici-
patton i'll politics.
II has been understood for sometime
that the officials OF the du Pont Powder
Company. do not endorse L. Coleman du
Points political ambitions. 1t is rumored
furthermore, that pressure is being
brought to bear upon him to have him
abandon politics. The primary reason for
this is due toithe fact, as announced in
he Wilmington Star, that the institution
by the government Of the present suit
against the DUPONT Powder Company, for
alleged violation of the Sherman anti
trust law, is attributable directly to his
political activity. In this connection, 1t
is said, the political aspirations OF Sena-
tor DUPONT, a cousin OF the state chair
man, have likewise played a part.
The situation, therefore, is OF the ut
most Importance as having a direct bear
ing ON the affairs of the powder com
pany with its capitalization OF fifty mil
lions.
1t has been declared that the political
status OF L. Coleman DUPONT will have a
serious effect Oh the aspirations of Sena-
tor DUPONT to succeed himself at the 1911
session of the legislature. 1t was Que to
the efforts of the State chairman that his
cousin was elected TO the Senate at a
special session of the General Assembly
in June, 1906. This development may
mean tile defeat of Senator DUPONT.
With j. Edward Addicks's money gone
and the withdrawal of the dupont funds
Delaware will be likely to swing back i'll
to the Democratic column as Wilmington
las done.
The Penn's Grove record., 1909-06-11
Money From Nowhere.

The art and science o~fprOtection have
advanced notably in eighteen years.
When the Mckinley bill was passed
as every reader whose memory runs
back that far will reeall-sthe foreign
er paid the tax" Protection, we were
told, simply compelled the foreign man-
ufacturer to knock off about fifty per
cent of his price when selling to Ameri-
can consumers. But no longer does
"the foreigner pay the tax" Loyal
pr~otectionists have discovered that he
doesn't. They have discovered, in
fact, that nobody at all pays it. High
tariff, without imposing the slightest
burden upon anybody, simply makes
three hundred and odd millions of rev.
enue out of hand-as a good conjurer
takes perfectly real rabbits out ola per-
fectly empty silk hat.
Hosiery manufacturers want higher
duty on stockings, and the Payne bill
gives it to them. They sOlemnly assure
the public in a large advertisement that
s'neither price nor quality of American
goods would be affected by an increased
duty on foreign goods. . Abso-
lutely no increase owe present price to
the consumer would he caused by the in
creased duty. Its only effect would be
to give employment to American in.
stead of European labor"
Of course, that is why the manufact-
urers want the higher duty-just be-
cause it will not increase the price at
all. The tariff, we are told, enables
the American manufacturer to pay
higher wages than his foreign COMPETE
tor; but it doesn't &C ,omplish this re.
suit, it seems, in any such crude man
ner as that of raising the price to the
consumer. The difference simply
comes out of. the air.
An English statesman once evolved
a wonderful sinking fund, which was
going to %extinguish the national debt
automatically without any further bur-
den TO anybody. We don't recall at
the moment whether OF not he was a
prOtectionist, but we think he must
have been.-Post.
