RESULT OF THE yMMI-
GRAFTON INvEsrIGATION.

II Is being remarked on 10 New York
that the publication Of the evidence
taken by Congressman Ford's Congress
ional Committee investigating the recent
abuses of our immigration laws, has pro-
duced two notable effects. The first Of
these Ia that undesirable immigration To
that port has almost totally ceased.
teamers which on former occasions
brought hundreds of foreign workmen,
are now arriving without any steerage
passengers. This Is fact which the
Now York Star considers very sig
nificant, as it shows that the
great bulk Of Industrial immigration of
late has been under contract, for there Is
nothing ia recent disclosures to prevent
any immigrant. willing and able TO SUI
port himself frOm coming 10 this country
on his own account. The contractors
have become frightened, and they now
know that they will he punished If they
persevere in their unlawful trade. They
no longer dare TO hold out the false
promises which have induced foreign
workmen to put faith in them.
But another and still more significant
fact has been developed. 1t seems that
Mr.. Ammidown, President of the Repub-
licau Protective Tariff League, has given
valuable poltica. testimony which liter.
ally and most unpleasantly betrays his
party. In letter written by him he adj
mitted that at his mills a great number Of
Hungarians are employed. Hungarian
labor is acknowledged TO be the cheapest
in Europe, and in making this admission
Mr.. Ammid0wn inflicted severe blow on
his party. He gave practical evidence of
the truth Of the charge, so often brought
against the Republicans, that all theii pro-
fession of regard for the interests Of
the American working man are in the
highest degree, insincsre and hypocritical.
They rant and roar wildly about the
Mills bill being free trade measure
tending 10 bring the American laborer TO
the Level of"ihe pauper labor Of Europe"
and yet they practically do that very
thing by securing the European contin-
INT TO secure the cheapest labor they can
possibly find.
Doubtless many such iniquiiies will lie
revealed during the progress of the cam
paigD; but here at its very outset il will
be well for the American laborer to re-
fleet on the double dealing Of the Re-
publican party towards him. The mo-
nopolsts are earnestly advocating and
working for the success of that party
because ii is to their interests that it
should succeed But how far its high
protection principles will benefit the
American laborer can readily be seen
when the virtual admission of the presi-
dent of the Republican High Protective
Tariff League is cOnsidered-that he is
ready and willing to employ the cheapest
labor of Europe in place of the labor of
America whenever he can do so sue
cessfully.

BOGUS KEY NOTES"

The idea that the American laborer
must vote with the Republicans because
protection protects him is not more
absurd than that the Mills bill proposing
a 40 average rate of tariff is free trade.
And vet there is still another keynote
to the tune of Great Britain and the
Golden Club controlling the policy Of
the Democratic party
All this campaign music on such key
notes may do very well to whoop up the
Republicans at this time. but what will
the band play when thew hear the sound
and true music with which the Demo.
Gratis will meet them in September.
To the cry of free trade echoing all
over the country from Republican organs
and leaders, we have the simple answer
that tie President has emphstically stated
and 1t has been proved that there is no
free trade in our policy, and the proof of
It is that the Mills bill only pro-
poses to reduce the war taxes
and bring import duties down to an
average of AZ per cent. As to the in.
fiuencc of Great Britain and the delight,
Of Englishmen at our policy, it is too
absurd to notice. But We have quoted
from numerous influential English states,
men the statement that Englis,,
looked with dread at the PROF. 81 ,ow

Opposed to an ,oIsey-no,es" of the
Republicans is simple formula that

markets 81 all the world instead of being
confined TO the home market which
can be manipulated by the mono
polists. And again. to illustrate
one of the main points in the Presidents
message. Free wool gives to the manu-
facturers and the workmen the opportu-
nifty to make ten times as much goods

ticle manufactured places that article in
the markets abroad at the same prices as
English makers can furnish it. But fur
Their than this it gives to the masses of
the people their clothing at one half the
present cost And to demonstrate still
further the monstrous contradic-
tions in Republican "key-notes" that
pretend to make such sweet music
for the poor man, the fact is that the
present Republican protective tariff
allows the rich man to buy fine goods al
almost one half the tax imposed on the
goods worn by the poor man. Alpaca
goods are taxed over one hundred per
cent. and fine clothes and linens about
fifty or sixty per cent. while the spark
ling champagne is the lowest taxed of all

THAT ANTI-MAHONE FACTION.

A newspaper must always be INDUCED
In the luxury of uttering that familiar
little saying, 81 told you So"
Our readers will remember, perhaps,
that at the first news of the quarrel be-
tween Malone and Wise, and again at
the time of the Petersburg Convention,
we distinctly stated that the split" h.
the Republican party would not Use the
party a vote, and that the personal diff
ferences between the ,lsaders amounted
to nothing in -lh Il presidential year,
though they might in a local
con'est./For some time this anti-Ma-
, -%np faction howled and swore destruc-
lion to the Boss, but the noise grew
fainter until it drowned itself In its own
foolish clamor, and now 1t has sunk into
serene silence and left Malone master of
the situation. If we look over the roll
of the leaders we cannot find one that is
likely to head the revolt since the word
came from Quay to fall in and prepare to
fight together and united. And now we
have this further prophecy to offer that
Malone will hold his party In hand
better than he has done for years.
Let the Democrats bear that in mind
and reflect at the same time that we car
ried the election in 1884 by only about
1000 really. and that at present we have
only three out of ten Members of Con-
gress.

A WHOLESALE CANvAss.-The tone Of
The Republican press-some of the New
York newspapers especiallv-in regard
TO the canvass is Ia be be deplored. From
this violence and invecliye there will BE-
an inevitable reaction The country this
year does not seek an angry, iruculenl
canvass. The issue is largely fiscal in
vOlving the business prosperity and the
welfare OF The people. 1t does not mean
the Union rs in 1864, or the maintenance
of the national credit as In 1865. There

From THE BUSINESS STANDPOINT.-
We do not ignore the tariff reform issue,
as our readers very well know. But We
have entire confidence that the business
men will, in the main, see the correct
bearing of that issue, will understand
that gradual reform of the abuses Of
the tariff, the reduction or repeal Of the
heavy duties on materials of manufacture
and OF the strictly war taxes, will stimu
late production, extend markets, and
make general trade more active and more
prosperous.-New York Times
