The New York Sun has been casting up
some interesting figures upon foreign i'm
migration to this country. 1t says; "July,
August and September the total immigra-
ton to the United States was III SOB, against
l55, 2S3 for the.same quarter last year. Yet
1880 was year of unprecedented ;mmigra.
ton. The arrivals We're more numerous
even than in the days when the Irish were
flocking to this country after their famine.
During the twelve months which ended
with last June they reached nearly seven
hundred thousand, and during the two
years then closed the aggregate was ,l25,-
600, total greater by nearly q quarter
than the whole immigration for the pre-
| ceding five years, Between 1910 and 1850
the total immigration to the United States
was about ten millions. Ifthe foreigners
| continue to come hither during the whole
decade at the rate of the last two years,
we shall receive between 1850 and 1890 alone
more than half as many as arrived during
all that long period. Nor is it improbable
that we may see an immigration so unpre-
cedented, Of these foreigners about one
third at present are Germans. More than
two hundred thousand Germans were land
cd in this country last year, while the ar
rivals trsm Ireland were less than seventy.
five thousand. The Germans already here
have greatly changed the tone and
character of our society. They
have introduced new ideas and
new customs. The Puritanism which for.
merly was dominant in the republic has
found in them q porsistant, if not con.
temptuous, enemy. They will not accom-.
modate themselves to it, They have also
seized whole departments of trade, and
their greater thrift is winning for them
many advantages over the old native popu.
lation. How will 1t be ten years from now,
when two OF three millions will have been
| added to their NUMBER But We have good
reason to welcome the additions to our
population that are now coming from
abroad. The immigrants, as n whole, are
the best we have ever received. They bring
with them capital, and are prepared to
spend it, and their industry is bringing
new land under cultivation" In reply to
question of the Sun in the above II may
be stated Texas has ample room for about
as many MS have immigrated since 1890, or
will for the next quarter of century. In.
deed we have room enough for the present
population of Germany, without uncom!
comfortably crowding, except Bismarck's
army, unless they would throw away their
guns and go to work. As large MS this
immigration Is and although Texas is
getting great deal Of it, she Is not getting
as much as her merits deserve. There Is no
earthly question about this being the best
state In every respect for them to come to.
II has more good and cheap land than any
other division of the globe, and employ
ment In the greatest abundance Tor every
one who wants work. Unfortunately the
truth about Texas Is not fully known and
properly understood ten miles beyond its
boundary lines, TO say nothing Of the coun.
tries far beyond the ocean.

Rain and Cool Weather.

A very hard rain-storm visited Dallas and
this entire section OF country Wednesday
night. The street cutters were flooded and
the smaller streams were swollen. The
rainfall was accompanied by vivid flashes oil
lightning and loud peals of thunder The
streets were filled with mud, and the want
of good crossings is again manifest to pc
destrians who are thoroughly Disguised
with the streets of Dallas whenever it rains
The rain brought with it cool weather, and
a cold drilling rain fell all day yesterday
making it very disagreeable on the streets

A rARIrF FOR REyENrE ONLY


To show the injustice of protective
tariff, suppose a man'wants to buy cloth to
make him coat. He can buy English
cloth at 81 q yard without a protective
tariff, but with the same tariff he must buy
an inferior article of American cloth at
Sl.5O yard, because the government has
laid tariff of GO cents a yard on the Eng
lish cloth to force him to buy the American
cloth and encourage home manufactures
The man pays 81 80 for the American
cloth rather that $l60 for the English not
because the English merchant changes the
SLIGO, but because the United States gov
eminent sold the GO cents to protect her
own manufactures. If English cloth is
bought, the United States gets 20 cents for
her revenue, but if the American is
purchased who is the gamer? Evidently
the American manufacturer. He could sell
cloth at 81 yard and make fair profit,
but under the tariff he sells at l.50 and
makes profit and bounty of 60 cents be-
sides. As the manufacturers are few and
the consumers many, it is evident the
whole country is pouring money into the
hands of the few by operation
of the law--the tariff. Is this just?
The number of persons of both employers
and employees in 1870 in the United Safes
was 2,707, t2l. The number of farmers
alone was 5,922,47l. Two millions of the
above manufacturers are simply operatives
and the seven hundred thousand are CAPT
talists. Here we have seven million buy
ing cloth at the above heavy tariff, and all
to enrich the seven hundred thousand CAPT
talists who are already the richmen of the
country. lfthe patrons of husbandry wish
to see regulated trade it seems they could
find midde-man here to shoot AT worthy
the effort. Suppose, instead OF protecting
the American manufacturer, we had tariff
for revenue only, we could get the English
cloth for Sl.20, or the American at the same
figure, and both would make fair profit

MR.. VOORHEES, AND THE TARIFF.

But the tariff question is not settled
question, in the sense that the others are.
1t is not question which can be taken
out of politics." as some spoils-politicians
suppose, by an act Of congress. So long
rs human nature is tainted by the heritage
of barbarism which moves men to desire to
rob one another, there will be advocates of
the licensed spoliation called the protective
system. Educated men know that the sys-
TEN is bad policy--as bad for nations as for
individuals. They know that the pro-
tectionist notions uttered by Mr.
Voorhees, at Atlanta, and echoed by
southern politicians and organs of
the democrat election machine are false,
pestilcnt, and absurd Though Voorhees,
may not know enough to know this, there
are many of the old graveyard party trade
mark who do, and to whom his statement
that his purpose at Atlanta was "to aid in
securing sound position for the party
hereafter, will appear as the elimination
of the absurd If a party can secure a
Sound position only by mounting the
platform of its adversary, what reason has
II to seek Sound position reason
has il to be a party separate from whose
doctrine and purpose it espouses? Does
the statesman of the Wabash know of any
reason why two political parties should
exist as independent organizations on one

THE END OF SECTIONAL STRIFE.

1t is n pleasant thing and promising
thing, to see the stalwart republicans of the
senate defending the appointment of on
ex-confederate to office and to hear dycd-in-
the-wool democrats and ex-conlederates
dwell upon the valor, service and wounds
Of a displaced soldier of the Union. Joke
as We may and laugh as we must at the
oddity of the situation, il is
very significant. Nothing could
more conclusively indicate the end
of sectional strife and the subordination of
ancient war issues and war passions to the
political influence and party exigences of
the present day. Asa matter of fact both
parties are inconsistent but the inconsis.
tency is of useful description, Like the
cup that cheers, but not enebriates, Il diff
fuses geniality and strengthens the spirit

THE EAST LINE.
Another Railroad for Dallas.


Reliable news, through trustworthy gem
tlemen, is at hand to the effect that beyond
any doubt Dallas will now get the East Line
e Red River railroad, already constructed
from Jefferson to Greenville. At recent
meeting of the directory in Jefferson, the
attorneys of the road were instructed to
prepare an amendment to the charter of the
road to bring it to this city. This gives
Dallas a competing line even in the narrow
gauge system, and will contribute largely
toward making Dallas the great railroad
center of the state. The East Line 4 Red
River railroad is altogether a home enter
prise, having been inaugurated by Jeiler-
son capitalists, and, Mr. Gould having re-
Gently purchased Il controlling interest in
it, it IS but reasonable to suppose that he in
tends to make it available in
furthering his grand southwest
ern system of roads, and to do this of
course il must come to Dallas where evi.
IDENTIFY are centering the various railroads
of the state. But few days ago the Dallas
& Northwestern railroad was chartered to
penetrate the vast Pan Handle region of the
state, and now comes the East Line, which
must have an outlet. So must the Texas d
st. Louis, the Texas Trunk and the Chica-
20, Texas & Mexican Central have outlets
beyond our city, all of which, when com
pleted, will give Dallas eleven or twelve
roads leading out from her limits Capital
lists seeing these advantages are beginning
to pour into our city and invest their
means, and in the near future will realize
the rich reward Of their toll;

PROGRESS OF RAILWAY nu1LpING.

1t Is difficult to keep up with railroad
building in this country. Unless one takes
two or three of the twenty publications
now published in this exclusive interest and
pays the closest attention to their statistics
he has little conception of what is going on
and the progress made. The future hiSto-
rian will doubtless call the last quarter of
the 10Th century the era of railroad build
ing. Thus we are told by the Investors
Supplement for October that during the
fifteen months which will end December
81, 1882, 5000 miles of new track will be
laid. Included within this estimate it thus
places the roads with which we are most
familiar, the country and the lines in which
