FREE TRADERS AND WAGE FARMERS.

n MEXICAN working and should not
forget that Woodrow Wilson is a who has
declared that the best way squeeze all the work
possible out Of employe, is to put him
piece work" He is who has
pressed the opinion that Chinese labor is super
ior TO that Of the United States and that the op-
position Of American labor to the importation Of
Chinese is because of the low moral status Of the
Chinese but because Of the superior skill workmen
Of the yeow-faced people of the orient Those facts
are called to the attention of the working in this
county by the Pittsburgh Labor World.
Governor Wilson has placed himself record as
being opposed to trade unionism it prevails
American wage workers Never. until he became am
bilious to be President did he express any real regard
for the aborng in America. It is matter Of
record that he has declared that they. through their
unions running our country. Now he would de-
prive American wage of the benefit of pro
tective tariff and put them on a footing with the
poorlypad artisans and laborers in Europe Mr.. Will
tells in his History of the American People of
the misery for American labor that followed in the
train Of the Cleveland Democratic administration That
history Of his also shows that the Republi-
cans restored to power and resumption Of tho
protective tariff assured, prosperity returned to
our country and its people and to this time they
never have elected another Democratic President
The difference in the business of country in 1896
the year the Democrats and their free trade policy
in power and last year is shown clearly by these
figures Bank deposits in 1896 trihe under FIVE
billions Last year they nearly 16 billions. There
were S26,62O railway employees in 1896. but in 1910
there were 16994 42O 1896 exported $1O2 900
more commodities than imported, but in 1911 that
$522O94OOO Pig iron from S62SOOO
tons in 1896 to 2S649O0O 1911. Coal produc-
tion which totalled III 416O0O in 1896, has
tripled. Wages and salaries of railway employees
jumped from $46sS24OOo in 1896 to s1,143,725,o00 in
1910. In 1S90-before the Wilson low tariff panic
there 4,251.613 wage earners in manufactures
and their aggregated $Ss1 22sOOO but in 1910
this number has grown to 6615046, while paid
had increased to $3427 0S7 0OO
Wage earners should remember at all times that
Cleveland his administration stood for Free Trade
under the Of tariff for only, just as
Wilson Brockson and Salisbury stand for it this
Investigation made in Free Trade countries shows that
while Free Trade beats down wages it does not lessen
the cost OF living correspondngly and that American
wage earners would suffer terribly a Democratic
policy Of tariff for only substituted for the
Republican policy Of protection for American indus
tries and wages.

NEEDED-A NATIONAL BUDGET.

THE United States is the only great nation in the
world that does not have budget. That is one
of many points we'll taken by President TAFT in his
recent letter to the Secretary the Treasury rela
tive to the wisdom Of the submission annually to
Congress of budget Complaint is made by the
President that each year Congress has been making
Increasingly large appropriations, based estimates
which are submitted by officers acting in the capacity
Of ministerial agents to Congress under law which
makes absolutely provision for executive review
and revision The committees on Appropriations of
Congress alone have power to review and revise re-
quests Of department heads but Congress has failed
to make provision considering expenditures and
estimates for appropriations in relation to revenues
President Taft quite aptly that Congress grants
authority for the expenditure of thousand million
dollars year without any thought as where the
money is coming from. That is true. and he might
have added that in many instances Congress has only
an indequate idea in relation the pockets into
which much Of the money will go after it has been
appropriated
President Taft does not question constitutional
right Of Congress to prescribe the manner in which
reports of expenditures and estimates shall be sub
mitted to 1t by department officers. He questions,
however the practical wisdom continuing to oper
ate the Government under 80 different statutes passed
at 80 different times, which prescribe 200 different
forms of preparing and submitting financial data to
Congress and the public-daa which, when prepared,
have no element Of uniformity or standard, and can
not be used present officers to the people an
accurate picture OF activities pertaining to one
subject for the Government whole The Presi-
dent says he also questions both the practicabity
and the fair-mndedness Of measures which require
heads of bureaus and offices 20 report what is con-
ceved by them be their respective needs for the
ensuing year. We think fair-minded persons will
agree with the President in the contention that with
out adequate provision made for executive review
and revision it is impractcable to expect anything
other than grossly inflated estimates.
In otbar he thinks nation
should have budget, but it must be budget of the
right sort-one which will millions of dollars OF
Federal funds wasted because there is no bud
get The people assurediy will agree with him on
that and wish him in his efforts to check the
great waste of nations revenues.

DESERVED TRIBUTE.

Republicans take pride in admitting that in the fiscal
year 1911 their administration of the affairs of this
State cost in round figures. 100000 more than was
spent by the Democrats In the last Of their con-
the States finances They proud Of the fact
that they spending at least s1S5000 year more
for education than the Democrats did that S2lOoO
year is being spent for the public health that
$4,000 year is being spent for the benefit Of
agriculture and lyestock that $4,000 more ayear is
being spent for the Improvement OF our public high
ways that $4,000 more year is being spent for the
maintenance Of public institutions and for charitable
purposes and $4,000 for public defense. They
also elicate themselves upon the fact that they have
done all that without taking dollar Of the money
from the pockets Of Deawareans Under the old Demo-
cratic administrations the educational interests, the
public health agriculture, the public roads and the
public institutions were neglected and exploited. The
Republicans realized those things and took steps to
make amends to the people for the shortcomings Of
the Democratic party.

Our Levy Court be engaged in no more audable
enterprise than that of eliminating the many grade
crossings in this county Every such crossing const
tutes public BY one is that fact recog-
nzed more fully than by the leading railroad companies
in our country which spending millions of dollars
annually in elimination work Such work, however
is exceedingly expensive. Our Levy Court cannot
reasonably expect to obtain many such elimnatons in
any one year The experience here doubtless will be
the same that it has been in other counties in other
States where the elimination has been gradual, and
yet pursued along comprehensive and progressive
lines with first attention paid to the most dangerous
crossings

Can be possible that the conscience Of the Demo-
cracy of State at last is working? There have
been several occurrences within the last week which
to indicate it. The Dover Deawarean, Demo
cratic organ, confesses that Democratic conspiracy
exists to buy up the purchasabe vote in our State.
Josiah-O, Wolcot the Democratic candidate for At
torney admitted the stump in Newark that
the Democrats in the past bought votes here Frank
lin Brockson Democratic candidate for Representative
in Congress, denies that he is Free Trader, but ad
mits that he stands for tariff for revenue only, which
is the same thing it lets down the tariff bars so
our markets may flooded with goods manufactured
abroad by shamefully underpaid labor And now the
Delaware State News Democratic newspaper
published in Dover pays this compliment to the
ticket the Republicans have nominated in Kent county
"The Kent Republicans, recognizing that this is a
Democratic county have nominated strong county
ticket John Cauk, Edward A. Evans, James Keith
Charles Luff. Dr. Burton, Dan Murray and William
Baker are men who stand high here and their selec-
ton reflects credit"

state Senator Thomas NJ. Monaghan, Democratic can
didate for Governor always has been machine Dem
ocrat He was known as such when he was City
Councilman. He strengthened his standing as a ma
chine man as a Representative and State Senator.
One result of his election as Governor would be TO
nut the Democratic machine control Of branch
of the executive department of State government
The people of our State, who have enjoyed many
years of good government under Republican Governors
and their subordinates have desire to place them
selves at the mercy of Democratic machine dominated
by Salisbury and Monaghan

Democrats complain that in the last twenty years
the people in Sussex county have paid s100oOO0
in taxes under Republican rule than they paid in the
preceding twenty years under Democratic rule. If
that be true the Sussex county taxpayers must have
been satisfied that they getting full value for the
money spent by the Republicans, otherwise they
would have permitted that party to remain in power
twenty years with elections occurring each two
in any one of which they might have turned the Re-
pubcans out had they desired to do so.

BE A MAN-OUALIFY.

A DELAWAREAN who has right to register, who
n has not registered already and who fails TO re-
gster Saturday the last day for registration,
will stamp himself by his non-acton poor specimen
of an American citizen. That declaration applies TO
Republicans. Progressive Republicans, Democrats
Prohibitonists and Socialists This is important
election in which the ballot should represent Ameri-
can sentiment The who deliberately disqualihes
himself eectorally such election the one now
impending deserving Of the contempt of his fellow
citizens
It calls for only small sacrifc Of time and con-
venience any to be registered under conditions
as they exist to-day When the political future of our
nation and State are at stake it must be poor
American indeed, who will refuse to make such a
sacrifice Therefore, all who not registered al
ready should avail themselves eagerly Of the oppor-
hnity which will be presented next Saturday man
without vote at such time this should be an
object Of pity if such disqualification be beyond his
control but If II be due to his own neglect or in
difference he should be object Of public contempt

Think of it, The Old Home Week celebration
which gave a week of pleasure to 10000 Whining
tonians and tens of thousands Of visitors and
to our city newspaper and other advertising that
could not have been bought by the direct expenditure
Of tens of thousands dollars will cost the people
of our city less than $4,000. That means expense
of say five cents apiece for every man, woman and
child in Wilmington And yet there Killioys who
proclaimed that the celebration would block public
improvements and lead to untold municipal evils Of

Gilman Stover and his associates the Old Home

No, THEY HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.

THE Milford Chronicle of the most integenty-
directed and ably-edited weekly newspapers in
our State puts series of editorial questions the
Republican electors in our State It says:
Have the Republicans of Delaware forgotten the
rotten system county government under Democratic
rule which the Republican party turned out fifteen
years ago i'm Delaware? Have they forgotten how men
now living who then tax gaherers in both kent
and Sussex county, refused to let Republicans pay
their taxes assessed against them that they might
elections? Don't you remember how Republicans nad
to chase Democratic collectors at night from place
to place even going to Philadelphia to get to pay
their taxes that the then election laws could be OBJ
served? Have the people of Sussex county forgotten
how Democratic tax collectors sQuandered the money
they collected and when demand made on their
bondsmen how the matter allowed as 'uncollect-
able" bv Democratic Levy Court, after the Repub-
lican hondsman turned to the support OF the Demo-
cratic party? This using the taxpayers money
to buy votes pure and simple. and every word Is as
true as the Book of Luke And yet these same DEMO
Gratis are now promising reform" in the county Of
nces n they are chosen ill these positions. II the
people are losing their memory, they will have
none of them and believe that those who are Ia
miiar with these facts should let the young Repub
know this past history lest they be tempted to listen
TO the srOns wooing
II is safe to assert that the decent sef-respecng
and law-abding citizens of the State Of Delaware
still have those facts in mind, and that they never
will forget them We feel sure also, that the memory
of those wrongs and abuses will contribute largely
toward the defeat Of the Democratic ticket next month

Out of respect and sympathy for Colonel Theodore

WILSON AND ORGANIZED LABOR.

THOSE Democratic machine leaders and orators who
are representing Delaware voters, particularly
those engaged in industrial pursuits that organized
labor i'm this country up in support of Wood
row Wilson for President Of the United States. should
be ashamed of the gross deception they practicng
Take for instance the Pittsburgh Labor World, one
of the formost labor papers printed in the United
states That paper denounces Samuel Gompers pre-
siden of the American Federation of Labor for stand
ing in support of Wilson Just he stood in support
of Bryan when he last time,
The Labor World says
Il is a notorious fact that wherever the Democrats
are strongly entrenched in power labor is in the most
dreful condition of thraldom. Take the Southern
States for instance whore the Democracy holds supreme
sway and there find that labor has hardly any right
to work for starvation wages Just as
long as the bosses and be under the control
of employers both when and when not at work why
Il impossible to organize trade unions IN the South
States. Democratic rules nave all one atter an
other imprisoned caused Workmen TO be Killed II
they ventured TO establish labor unions This condi-
ton prevails al this very moment and Southern Demo
cratic maores In legislative halls Will have it nc
other way Certain is that IL the November elections
return a Democratic majority to Washington that the
Southern Democratic policy toward labor will moro OF
less become the national policy for most assuredly
Candidate Wilson has definitely declared himself TO DC
a most pronounced foe Of trade unions.
Those are words from an organized labor source
that should be considered carefully by those working
men in Delaware who Inclined to cast their votes
for Wilson end Brockson and Salisbury henchmer
who are running the Legislature under pledge tha
/ they will vote to elect Willard Salisbury United
States Senator Wilson. Brockson and Saulsbur,
stand for Free Trade the Of tariff for re
yenues only. Such a policy stands for the ruin o
American industries and the misfortune and miser,
