TT Is useless for Woodrow Wilson to attempt to
disguise the fact that he always has been a Free
Trader Tho fact that he IS the Democratic can

hind the mask OF being low tariff when he is
I'm the milling and other industrial districts but there
is mask that to conceal his Free Trade
pathles "Nho said Free Trader he inquired in
speech he made recently when In the manufacturing
districts "Who proposed Free Trade? You can't
have Free Trade in the United States because the Gov
ernment of United of necessity supported
by the duties collected at the ports"
That the line of talk engaged in by James X.
Polk In 1914 and Grover Cleveland in 1892, and the
American people, fooled by it. were led to elect those
men and to bring upon nation periods of unpre-
cedented commercial and financial disaster. The vot-
ers should bear in mind that do not have to have
actual Free Trade destroy American industries and
the wageearnng opportunities of the millions Of men
and women who are employed in such industries.
For example, II it requires duty of 80 per cent
on an article to overcome the difference between the
cost OF production here and abroad-this cost being
mainly labor cost-hen the reduction Of the duty to
% per cent in practical, II not actual Free Trade
II We are collect large portion of our necessary
revenue by duties upon imports, then of course the
lower the duties the larger must be the volume Of i'm
ports For example, suppose we are to collect S40O,-
100000 year duty Of 10 per cent, that
means an import alton 100000 worth Of goods
all displacng American manufactures, and directly
or indirectly iniurng in the country be-
the workingmen in the trades must lose employ
ment wages when the income OF our factory wage
earners that OF farmers is diminished We must
drive this truth home mill hands apd farmers
Don't let Wilson hecoud the issue Keep this cen
tra thought In mind that reduced duties must mean
increased importatons and increased importauons
must mean decreased home production with conse-
auent dleness the only alternative reduction OF
wages to the foreign level Practical Free Trade in Its
operation is actual Free Trade in its result
The British system is called Free Trade and yet
they impose far more duties in certain directions than
we do. the difference being that they tax what they
don't produce while wo strive TO protect what we dc
produce This last three years under the operation o.
the present Tariff have had substantial sur
plus This has been gained by a duty upon luxuriei

OLD HOME WEEK.

OLD HOME WEEK is here. Wilmington is in gala
- dress, the crowds have begun to pour in, and
the for the many impressive features of
the demonstration have been perfected Better stll
the people of city are imbued thoroughly with the
carnival spirit which is necessary to make such
municipal functions the one on the success
that IL deserves to be- There is only thing that
can mar the celebration That is bad weather. The
hope is universal that nature will be kind that she
will continue shed the suns warmth and good cheer
u.s. day in and day out until the celebration shall
have ended
Those who participate in the Old Home Week
elry should sight Of the fact that II stands
for something more important than mere good time
H represents great outburst Of home pride, Of which
the lavish decorations and the several delightful
features merely Will be the outward and visible signs
The people Of Wilmington love Wilmington. The
trouble heretofore has been that they have not made
yearly the public display of the fact that has been done
in many other cities in which demonstrations have
become regular features OF municipal life. With this
awakening We hope there never will be relapse to
conditions which have existed heretofore and which
have failed to keep delightful municipality prom
inently before the public it has deserved TO
be kept.
We congratulate Councilman stover upon the happy
thought which prompted him to suggest to City Council
that the demonstration be held; We felictate City
Council for having accepted promptly such wise
suggestion; commend without stint Mayor Howell
for the great official and personal interest he has dis
played in the movement, and extend TO the manu-
facturors, the merchants and other pubc-spirited
citizens who are active in the movement the thanks
Of a community which heretofore has had too much
the side of life and too little Of the light
and joyful side Of It,
Nor is there any selfish desire the part Of Will
mngtonians to keep this great demonstration to them
selves to monopoze its pleasures They will well
come any and all who may come, matter whether
they be former residents Of city, occasional vis
tors or utter strangers The bigger the crowd, the
better it will be liked by people to whom hospitality
comes as a natural attribute.
