The National La Dor Party

The indications now are that there will
be National Labor party OF rather for
midable proportions in 1888. The moye-
ment in that direction is beginning to at
tract attention, and the politicians are
will have upon the Democratic and Re-
publican parties.
In our dispatches yesterday the state
ment was made that a resolution was
adopted at the meeting OF the Ohio Trades
and Labor Assembly at Dayton, in that
state, on Wednesday, appointing a dele
CATION to the Cincinnati Labor Conven-
ton, which meets Feb. %, 1887, and
heartily fsvoring the formation of Ma
tional Labor party. Already in New York
city steps have been taken to unite into a
political organization those who voted for
Henry George for Mayor OF that city.
No one, OF course, can predict with any
degree OF certainty what the strength OF
the proposed National Labor party will
be, but if workingmen generally join it it's
strength will be very great. The Demo-
cratic party, however, has no reason to
be alarmed about it. 1t will draw Its
strength chiefly from the Republican
party. In all of the great manufacturing
districts OF the North the mill operatives
are in the main Republicans, because OF
their belief that a tariff for protection
insures them better wages. The only
thing the Democratic party has to fear is
that the Republicans may succeed IN get
ting their ticket Endorsed by the National
Labor party. Mr.. Blaine, who doubtless
expects to be the Presidential candidate
Of his party again, appears to be plotting
for something of that kind. His efforts
lately to put himself in harmony with the
labor leaders, and to secure their good
Will, have been so noticeable as to excite
comment. The whole situation may I'M
dergo very great change, however, be-
fore the meeting of the national nominal
| ing conventions.

Mr.. Grains Tariff Scheme.

Congressman Grain, of Texas, thinks
he has discovered way to secure a per-
manent and satisfactory settlement of the
tariff question. He is quite young man
and represents border district. These
two facts may account for his confidence
in his alleged discovery. He assumes
that Congressman cannot act intelligently
upon tariff bills because, with the excep-
ton OF perhaps half dozen members,
they know nothing about the tariff. He
is doubtless right about the ignorance of
Congressman respecting the tariff ques-
ton. All of them think they know what
ever there is to be known about it, and
hence there is difficulty in teaching them
anything.
Mr.. Grains plan is to create a perma-
nent commission of experts, with head
quarters at Washington, whose duty 1t
shall be to furnish members OF Congress
all the information they desire respecting
the tariff. This plan could only be sug-
gested by one who is totally unfamiliar
with the matter with which he proposes
to deal. Ii it is Mr.. Grains purpose that
the commission shall furnish only teohnl.
cal information there is no need for 1t. be-
cause such information is easily obtaina-
BILE. If it is expected to give an opinion
whether duty for protection will benefit
the country more than duty for revenue
only, 1t would be interesting to know how
it is to be appointed. 1t would be difficult
to find experts wholly impartial, and 1t
would not do to give either the tariff re-
formers or the protectionists majority of
it. Whether protection is better for the
country than a revenue tariff is a ques-
ton about which experts differ as widely
as Congressman, and in furnishing facts
and technical information they could
hardly help being guided by their convic-
lions. The history OF the tariff commits
sion of the Forty-seventh Congress shows
pretty satisfactorily that commission of
experts could do little toward solving the
tariff problem.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1886-11-26

: The Presidents course in the ease OF
/ United States District Attorney Stone, OF
Pennsylvania. is certain to I've very severe
] ly criticised by the Republican press. II
! Will persistently refuse To see thu differ
! ence between the case Of Mr.. Stone and
that OF Mr.. Benton, the Missouri United
States District Attorney, which the Presi-
dent in his letter refusing to relnststs
! MIR. Stone points out.
There is no question but that there is a
very great difference between the cases,
and those who are disposed to be Impair
tial Will see it at once and admit it.
Mr.. Benton and Mr.. Stone were sus-
pended at the same time for dlsobeying
the Presidents order relative to offic 9
holders taking an active part in politics.
Mr. Benton in very frank letter admit
ted that he had made several political
speeches, but denied that he had neg
lected his official duties, or that he had
willfully disobeyed the order. In making
speeches be had no idea that he was in
curing the Presidents displeasure. His
speeches, however, were in support OF the
administration, of which he was a part.
His reinstatement soon followed the re-
ception OF his letter, showing that the
President was not disposed to be arbi-
trary or unnecessarily harsh.
Mr.. Stone is a Republican, and year or
more ago efforts were made to have him re-
moved because of his partisan utterances.
The President, however, concluded to re-
tain him, because he appeared to be dis
posed to attend to his duties, and was
fully competent to perform them. When
he found that MIR. Benton had been REIN
stated he asked to be reinstated, on the
ground that he had not neglected his
duties. His request was denied, not be.
cause of belief that he had neglected his
office, but because, while holding an off,
cial position, he had undertaken to bring
the government into contempt by attack
ing it in public speeches.. In view OF the
fact that the President had consented to
retain him in Office, although strongly
urged by Democrats OF his district to re-
move him, a correct sense OF what is
proper and right ought TO have induced
him to avoid condemning the administra-
ton OF which he was a humble part.
Even the Presidents Interpretation of
civil service reform doesn't go so far as to
retain in Office one who is so far lost to a
sense of decency and proper behavior as
to use his official position to attempt to
belittle and bring into contempt the ad-
ministration. Mr.. Stone is doubtless 30
much of partisan that he cannot help
condemning the Democratic government.
1t is better, therefore, that he should talk
as private citizen rather than as a gov
eminent Official.

Judge Gresham Discussed.

The question OF! the availability Of Judge
Gresham as Presidential candidate OF
the Republican party in 1888 mas been
raised by the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, and it appears to be receiving
great deal OF attention from the newspa-
pers. Judge Gresham is spoken of very
generally in words of praise. Few, If
any, of his political opponents have any
thing to say against him.
Judge Gresham occupied two positions
in Mr.. Arthur's Observation-Disclosures
master General and Secretary OF the
Treasury-and he filed them both very
satisfactorily. He was not in either posi-
ton long enough, however, to show
whether he possessed the qualities neces-
sary to make either great Postmaster
General or great Secretary of the Treas
ury. He was poor man and was anx-
ious TO get into position which
would afford him living be-
yond the period of Mr.. Arthur's
administration. He was, therefore, given
a United States Circuit Judgeship, the
place he now holds.
Judge Gresham is a man OF tirst-class
ability, and no one has ever questioned
his integrity. In his own State, and, in
fact, wherever he is known, he would poll
a large vote, but it will hardly be doubted

nomination will be urged by influential
leaders and newspapers.
The New YORK Sun calls attention to
the fact that the people have never gone
to the bench for a President. The infer
ence is that they will not go there in 1883.
The Sun, doubtless, is right. Unless the
political situation undergoes very great
change Mr.. Blaine will be nominated In
1888 by the Republicans and Mr.. Cleve-
lanu by the Democrats. Blaine 10 GER

Van WYCk's ProsneCts.

1t is by no means certain that Senator
Van Wyck, OF Nebraska, will get back to
the Senate. The Repu blican Senators
would be very glad TO have some other
Republican elected from that State, be-
cause MIR. Van Wyck cannot always be
relied upon to vote with the Republicans,
and, besides, he has a very disagreed able
way of exposing the shortcomings of his
own party. During the last year or two
he has made it his business to utilize
every opportunity to attack the great land
grant railroads, and as these corporations
are the direct outgrowth of the policy
pursued by the Republican party when it
was in power, the Republican leaders are
greatly annoyed at Mr.. Van Wyck's per-
sistent war upon them.
Mr.. Van Wyck is also a very aggressive
man. and because he isn't handsome he
appears TO take delight IN making other
Senators feel uncomfortable. He Is always
ready TO give a brother Senator a little
malicious dig in The ribs, as it were, and
when he does anything OF that sort he
Frances about the floor OF the Senate as if
he were having most enjoyable time.
