Dr. Grant is in Washington in the
interest of the colored brother. 1t will
not be his fault if the white Republi-
cans of the state are not given a back
seat. He is the leader of the pie hunt
ing wing of the colored branch of the
state Republicans, of which Ferguson
and Mcdonald are shining lights.
While this thing continues there is no
hope for Republican increase in Texas
or for the intelligence of the party to
gain control. 1t will be only after the
other states are redeemed and the Re-
publican party in the south, outside of
Texas, falls into the hands of those
who are capable of directing it's affairs
for the good of the party and the coun-
try, that there is any probability OF
Texas taking her place as Republican
state. She is today the one state of all
the southern group that presents the
best field for true Republican triumph.
Her interests are with that party. Her
industries naturally commit her to Re-
publican direction and were it not for
the unfortunate divisions among the
petty would be-leaders, which prevents
all possibility of united action Texas
would be well represented in the Con-
gress of the United States. Instead OF
having one representative there she
would nave at least five.

BRITAINs LOST TRADE.


The attempts that Great Britain has
made to save her colonial trade have
not been conspicuously satisfactory.
Figures drawn from the British "'blue
book" showing the course of British
trade with her colonies, demonstrate
that the imports from the mother
country into the colonies have not kept
pace with the imports from other coun-
tries. The figures are arranged in a
series of three years, for more conven-
lent reference. The total imports since
1888, at which time the comparisons are
instituted, have not very materially
| changed, being about four per cent in
crease for the twelve years. The to-
tails from all sources being for the per-
iod of three years ended with 1885, $40
100,550. OF this amount Great Britain
supplied her colonies with $3.50, 54S, 495.
The significance of the figures lies in
the fact that during the twelve years
for which the comparison was institut-
ed Great Britain lost about $3,000,00O
year while her colonial possessions in
creased their imports from each other
and from foreign countries about Az
millions each year, being about $5000O.-
000 for the entire period. Not only So
this increase was more marked in the
imports from foreign countries, than
from other colonies, so that the trade
thus lost to Great Britain direct was
not taken indirectly by her colonies.
1t is a little singular that in the face
nf tbeSa he pYit oh 90,
claim that in the best classes of goods
and in their capacity to put them on
the market where required the British
manufacturer is supreme. This is all
very well as an assertion, but the eff
forts that the British government is
making of late to hold the trade of her
colonies and the premium that she is
putting on trade with Canada, tells
its own own story of the British fear
that her colonial trade is being eaten
into by foreign rivals. The walls that
are made in the Bradford, England, re-
ports of the depressed condition Of
trade are in exact keeping with these
figures. Imports from Bradford to the
United States which for the last four
months of the Wilson tariff aggregated
a little over $4,000, 900 have only aggre-
gated little over 100000 for the two
months of the Dingley tariff. This is
nearly 400O,OOO month under the Will
son bill, and a little over $3,000,0OO a
month under the Dingley bill. Figures
like these naturally give the British
the nightmare. They
will grow more and more discouraging
as the operations of the Dingley tariff
bring in their native and looked for re-
suit. AS an arrangement for destroy
ing American trade and building up the
rival industries of Great Britain the
Wilson bill was a magnificent success.
AS means of building up home man
ufactures and relieving this country
from the burdensome tribute that it
has paid to Great Britain for four
years the Dingley tariff is a sumner
The attempt will be made to repeal it
just as soon as the Democracy are
again in power, but there is nothing to
indicate that such a calamity is in
sight this decade.

There is a lull in the voice Of dis
content among the British operatives,
and it is possible a settlement may be
reached without a strike. If it Is not
and the operatives see the mills shut,
the chances are that they will not be
re-Opened for months, many of them
not at all, for the British manufactur-
ers Of cotton goods have long had their
eyes on the United States as the only
natural place for the manufacture of
the cotton grown in this western world.
Once these British mills are planted on
this side of the Atlantic the death of
British cotton goods manufactures will
follow. The gravity of the situation is
