THE G. A. r.

The Grand Army of the Republic met at
Piltsburg yesterday. The CORRESPONDENTS
say that the veterans stepped out boldly,
but could not straighten their bent forms
nor conceal their gray hairs. 1t is true
that all of the men who stood in the
breach thirty years ago have passed The
average age of humanity. and that many
of them have grown into the sere and
yellow leaf, Will many others long ago
answered their last rOllcall. Yet there
are about half million of them still left.
If they are too old now TO fight they are
not too old to vote. While the Grand
Army is not political organization 1t is
well known that the mass of its members
al gn themselves with the Republican
rarty They realize that in 1894 as in
1864 the best interests of the country de-
mand the success of that party. Two
years ago the South invaded the North
with lis economic theories and scored a
big victory. Either the Grand Army was
taken by surprise then or it was outnum-
bered. This year the campaign is on
again. aud the votes and influence of half
a million veterans will go far to insure
Republican success. The signs of the
times indicate that they viii have numer-
Gus and powerful allies. They will find
some of them down South in Louisiana,
Alabama, perhaps in West Virginia and
other States. 1t is a good year for an
offensive campaign to break the Solid
South

improvements amounting to $4,000, all

CHEAP LABOR.

England ii seems has her Chinese ques-
ton. The Trades Union Congress now in
session in London calls upon Parliament
to shut out destitute aliens" The labor
men seem to think that there are as many
destitute natives as the Industries of the
country can provide for. Shutting out
destitute aliens and shutting out the
products OF destitute alien labor are twin
policies. One does no considerable good
unless supplemented by the other. But it
has of recent years been Engand's policy
TO; admit the products of cheap labor. Her
free-trade policy is founded On that prin-
ciple. When that policy was adopted it
was only raw materials that found their
way into England. Her superior machin-
cry and manufacturing skill not only held
the home market but enabled England to
take possession Of the principal foreign
markets. OF late years the advance of
other European countries in mau ufactures,
combined with cheap labor. has ena bled
these countries to send manufactured goods
to England. Then cheaper laborers also
see an opening in English labor fields. The
trades unions have asked Parliament to
reverse the policy Of the last forty years.
Theg now ask that destitute aliens be shut
out. But this will not 90 much good unless
the products Of cheap foreign labor are
also shut out, which can only be done by
tariff duties. The trades unions have,
therefore, asked Parliament to give re-
newed consideration to an old problem
which the English supposed they had set
tied in the only way that settlement could
be made. The destitute alien" which the
British worker wants shut out is not OBJ
jected TO so much on account of his desiitu-
tion as for the reason that his desii tuition
compels him to work cheaply. But as there
are so many people in ENGLAND as else
where that thrive on cheap labor the
chances of favorable action by Parliament
are not good.

has given the required percentage of gain.
This is verdict against tariff-tin kering.
If the next House is Democratic there Will
be an effort made to take another step in
the direction OF free trade. If the next
House is Republican there will be no
further tariff agitation during Dir. Cleve-
lands term. The Republicans will be re-
strained from tariff work by the knowl-
edge that any bill they might pass would
be vetoed by the President They would
consequently let the present tar IF show by
works what it could do.

MAINE SPEAKS.

The Republican majority in Maine indi-
Gates the election of Republican House

tricts were considered in doubt, but the
percentage of gain over estimates has sur
prised both parties. As was stated in
TIE CALI some days ago, gain OF per
cenl in the doubtful districts would give
the next House to the Republicans. Maine
