Free Trade and Cheap Labor.

Two young men residing in town near by,
who have heretofore voted the democratic
ticket, said to me after hearing Mr.. Dingley.
Monday night, that they could not do so
again; that they had heard much said about
the cheap labor of Europe, but had thought
it said for political effect; that they knew
Mr.. Dingley we'll, and that he would state
nothing but the facts; and when they heard
him say that he had seen in Germany and in
England, good mechanics working from IL to
IA hours day for so cents and boarding
themselves, and good men on farms for %
cents a day and boarding themselves,
understand what the repeal of
protective tariff means; what ''buy
where you may buy the cheapest" means;
that it means to buy the products of this
cheap labor and to reduce their labor to the
same standard. Why, said one of them, we
get Sl2 per week and $50 for every twenty
six days of ten hours, while the poor fellows
over there get only Sl3 and work fourteen
hours a day-only One-fourth of what We
receive. This is free trade and cheap mar
kets. Buy where you may buy the cheap
est We are convinced, said these young
men. that the republican party is the true
friend of the laborer, and the only party
that can be trusted with our interests.
How any Irishman can vote with party
whose policy would reduce them to tile same
condition of servitude as that from which
they fled, astonishes us. So it does all think
ing men | have two nephews. young men,
working in shipyard in this State, who get
two dollars per day. They are not mechanics,
but good, common labOrers. Their wages
are four times As much as a good mechanic
gets in Germany. Repeal our protective
tariff, and our navigation laws as the
democratic party proposes to do, and there
will be no shlpyards then. In Iowa. yester
day. the democratic party held its State Con-
vention. 1t resO we'd in favor of the policy
of free trade, cheap labor and free rum. In
Ohio, this same party goes for the open
violation of the Sabbath, by allowing open
dram shops on that day. And the brewers OF
Ohio have given the party $4,000 to aid
them in etfecting such purpose. And MIR

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL.
Defence Hoping to Hang the Jury.

WASHINGTON, Aug. rs.
A Washington dispatch SAYS that the argu-
ment of Mr.. Merrick, council for the govern
menr in the Star route cases, was in strange
contrast to the buffoonery of McSweeny.
McSweeBy addressed himself almost entirely.
as every one in the court room saw, TO the
two colored men on the jury. with tine pur-
pose to capture them, and thus hang the jury
if he could not acquit his client. The de-
fence rather thinks it has captured what 1t
regards as the ignorant section of the jury
Merrick who is a much greater lawyer than
McSweeny, addressed himself to the whole
jury and strove to create an impression rather
than laugh.
The outcome of this long trial is matter
of speculation purely. The defence thinks 1t
will hang the jury, and the prosecution thinks
it will convict No one expects an acquittal
Ii is stated in this connection. but this
statement cannot be verified, that the Kellogg
case will be presented to the grand jury in
another form in October, and that whether
this is done or not. other cases against mem
bers of the Star route ring will be presented
and pressed.

A POLITICAL SENSATION.
Congressman Bragg Accused of Obtain
ing Money Under False Pretences.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 3:

MILWAUKEE. Aug. 25.
Papers were served on Gen. f. S. Bragg
tine democratic Congressman from the Fond
du Lac, Wisconsin, district yesterday, in
suit brought by John B. Rice, proprietor of
the fremont House in Chicago, in which the
general is charged with obtaining $3.50 from
Rice under false pretences. The complaint
alleges that when in Chicago some time ago,
General Bragg represented to Rice that
he had to his credit in the hands of Sergeant
alarms Thompson large sum of money,
presented drafts to the amount of $3.50 on
Thompson which Rice cashed. On present
ing the drafts Rice was informed that Thomp
son had no money belonging to Gen. Bragg
and had not had any for long time, which
fact it is alleged Bragg well knew. The
complaint charges Bragg with playing
a confidence game, and demands restitution.
These disclosures have caused a great sansa-
ton in political circles. Gen. Bragg is a
candidate for denomination.

The New Age does the best it can with
. very bad case. We find no fault from a
republican stand point with Mr.. Dane for
being president Of bank and making
legitimate gains in that way if he chooses
TO. Our objection is not to his business,
but to his nomination to Congress by a
party who hold that the business he is en-
gagged in is robbery. According to green
back ideas Mr.. Dane is robber. his bust
ness Is robbery. He is az much of thief
Judged by their principles and declara-

of their money as Dick Turpin or the Bar

lions are against any bank or bank presi-
dent. There can be no discrimination in
favor of Mr. Dane or the bank which he
controls. All bank presidents-Mr. Dane
not excepted-are robbers. and ought to
be annihilated, according to greenback
and fusion doctrine.
Now after placing the brand of ROBBER
full upon the forehead of Mr.. Dane. and
holding him up to detestation as belong

in making him the candidate for Congress

That is not all Mr.. Dane is banker.
