the proceedings of the Commissioners Of Emlgra-
ton" and to form themselves INTO an Association
for Beneyolence and Self.Defense
Frederic Smith having been appointed Chairman,
he briefly stated the objects of the meeting lie was
pleased to see so many Of his fellOwworkers met to
denounce persecution. ana panied IN that, America,
III the Ninteenth Century, 1t should be necessary TO
do so No country more loudly boosted OF Its lndl-
v,dual liberties than this, and yet have often rea
to be ashamed of the petty and CALLING persecu-
tons it witnesses. Here we are, in number upward
Of FIVE hundred men, each paying license Of $50,
and also giving heavy bonds for good moral conduct
that Is We pay annually TO the City Golfers $4,000,
and give securities to the amount of Sl50000, and
vet because the Commissioners of Emigration -
are interested parties IN the Enc Railroad they
must use their brief authority and money power TO
trampe upon US and dsparage AL other lines Of
travel under the pretense OF protecting the emf

parties to charging the poor emigrant at least one
hundred per cent. higher than legitimate profit, Tor
his passage from Europe 70 America in their ships,
which are often Justly called II bells aAoat," and

80 That IN view Of the fact that the Press and
Public are sadly mslnfOrmed IN relation ~ the true
position which the - Runner holds TO the emgrant
we do present for their consideration these facts
Instead Of the " Runners being (as mendaclOusy
asserted by one-eyed sympathzers) sharks on the
means Of the emgTan;, they, by their number,
iust the reverse as the competition among them
duces their charges down to the lowest point Of sub
slstence whereas, The present aim Of Official inter
terence has for It's object the tTanSfernent Of the
business into the hands Of a monopoly Of capitalists,
with whom the emigrani viii neither have freedom
Of choice the selection Of roues, redress If IN
iured a. experience has rendered It 4 proyerb that
monopoes are more the masters than the servants
o: the public and for these and other reasons, De
sides those Of self-deense, request the Press 10
unmask the JeSultry Of Capital, and To correct the
Misrepresentation and the fanatclsn OF ignorance
