at another time it is going to pieces and the
Democrats will have an easy victory. That is
the Democratic talk. When the Organization
is not plotting to control the bench, it is knocking
out all candidates for city nominations that do
not suit it, according to these reports In fact,
it is a Hercules in strength, and Argus-eyed in
vigilance The members of the Organization, we
fancy, must sit back and smile when they read
of their manifold activities
The Organization must be source OF envy to
our Democratic friends and we'll might it be.
The Democratic Organization of Wilmington is
carried around in the vest pocket of one promi-
nent Democrat, and Democrats are so used to
this rule that they have not the courage to throw
a few pebbles at it.
We have no doubt that the Republican Organi-
cation is busy preparing for the city campaign,
and will do what il can to elect the city ticket.
We don't imagine that it has either time or in
clnation to manage the universe or even to run
every thing in Delaware.

eovERNMENr AS TAsKMAsTER.

THE strike Of the postal employees of the
u French government opens up several
phases of the Socialistic question. The railway,
telegraph and postal departments, embrac-
ing thousands OF employees are under the
care of the government. These servants of the
state are forming unions to resist the authority
OF the nation.
Under the Socialist plan emphasis is placed
upon the assertion that as every one would be in
the employ of the government there could be no
strike or trouble. 1t is plan of state perfection.
But under the French scheme we have seen
that people employed by the government can and
often do become dissatisfied and under Socialist
state there could be the same dissatisfaction as
exists in France today.
Soldiers and sailors are employed by the ~ov-
ernment but they cannot organize unions or de-
mand higher pay or quit work If they do they
may be treated as mutineers or deserters and be
punished The Civil Service employees of the
French government are not so punished for vio-
lating the rules as are the soldiers and sailors.
But there is a cry in Paris that they should be
dealt with severely.
The lesson to be learned from the troubles in
France is that peace and happiness would not
necessarily follow under a government owner
shin or control of industry. In fact the chances
of trouble would be greater, because II the peo-
Die elected the managers of industry such man
ayers would not in the long run be as competent
as the,p present managers of industries
1t is strange that the labor unions have so
much trouble in republics. The French govern
ment is making war on the unions OF its EN-
ployes In this country the unions have been de-
livered hard blows during the past wear or so.
In monarchies such England and Germany
the unions appear to be the strongest; they have
their own political parties and exert far more in
fuence upon the government than they do in re-
publics such as France and the United States.

Editorial
Opinion
Plea Of The Shoe Manufacturers.

Flea OF the Shoe manufacturers.
Ex-Gov. w. l.. Douglas.
All we ask is a free field and no
favor either in our own or in foreign
markets. Take away the duties that
prevent us from obtaining leather at
the same prices paid by our foreign
competitors and we will not only hold
our own markets with or without
duty on shoes but we will invade for
eign markets on an extensive scale
In so doing we win provide additional
work at good wages to our boot and
shoe workers.
While the duty on hides bears
heavily upon our industry in every
part of the country. now that Germ
any, Canada. and Mexico are discrim-
mating against our shoes and are
levying or threatening to levy much
higher duties upon them. 1t will be
even more difficult for us to hold our
share Of this industry, handicapped as
we are. With free hides and access TO
foreign markets we would be in no
danger. Not only could we manufac-
ture shoes more cheaply for our people
but we would greatly increase our ex-
ports to foreign countries.
The margin OF profit for most manu-
facturers Of shoes is only or cents
a pair OF course these manufactur-
ers either had TO advance the price
Of shoes or use cheaper materials. AS
yet however. advances have been but
slight in comparison with the increased
cost of materials. Unless the cost OF
materials can be reduced shoes must
soon sell at much higher prices.
We see no prospect Of cheaper ma
terials and no hope for cheaper shoes
for the people except through the re-
moval Of the tariff duty on hides.
