THEIMMlGRATION WEST.

| The vast immigration which is pouring into
the West this Spring, is subject of general
| remark the country over and many wonder WHY
it is The prohlam to our mind is easily solved.
| Men engaged in arr rculture al the East, cannot
compete with those engaged in the same avo-
cation at the West The reasons for this are
obvious The capital invested in lands East,
is, as FIVE to one the labor about three 10 one
and the production is at least two to one. An
improved farm at the East will command from
fifty to one hundred dollars per acre, v hile in
the West it will command fron ten to twenty;
the labor required to till farm in the East, is at
least three times as much, as in the West; and
while twelve and fifteen bushels of wheat to the
acre is considered fair crop in the East, twen-
ty-five and thirty bushels Is but an ordinay
crop in this country.
Looking at the difference between the two
countries in the cost of production, it is appar
ent that the old country cannot compete with
the new Capital and labor always seek those
channels where they can procure the best re-
turn and this accounts for the unprecedented
immigration to the West.
Farmers and mechanics in the East need not
be deferred from directing their steps West
because of such rush here the present season
for there are millions of acres of the choices
lands which have never ben touched and the
demand for mechanic labor is but partially sup
Piled.
Come cne, come all, there is broad field
here for the investment of your capital and the
display of your enterprise.

| THE STEAMER CITY OF GLASGOW.

THE STEAMER CITY OF GLASGOW
The probable fate of the missing steamer
Ctty OF Gtasgo,c, with her freight of 1913 souls,
is exciting much speculation and not little
feeling in this country. This vessel was one
of line of screw steamers plying between Div-
erpool aud Philadelphia, carrying emigrani
passengers and freight. The Chicago Demo
cratic Press has the following reasonable con-
lecture as TO the probable disaster by which she
has been overtaken.
"No tdngs yet ofthe steamer City of Glas.
Cow and her freight of human souls. The Can
ada brought no word of hope for the anxious
and almost despairng friends of the passengers
on this side, nor will she carry back to those
on the other any encoura ragement or consolation
Doubtless she has gone down in the midst OF
the sea. and ofthe noble daring, the silent cour-
,ge, by the self sacrafizng spirit which the
final catastrophe envoeved, none but the All
Seeing Eye took cognizance. In an article on
the perils of the sea, the New York Courier and
Enqnirer states that the steamer Baltic sailed
from New York on the h of Marc last, and
on the 9Th encountered ice in lat 46, long. AZ
Having then no definite idea of the quantity and
extent of the ice, the Baltic for few days
held her course, a, very low rate of speed;
but il soon became apparent that continued
effnrt to force the ship through the lightest
and u,ost broken ice would tear the wheels
from the sides, and every effort was then made
to extricate the ship from the ice, without re
gard to attaining a more eastern longitude She
cleared the ice on the 1lth, being then two de.
grees to southwark, and a half degree to the
westward Of her position three days before.
On that evening terrific gale, veering from
tI,o a TO fhop fhuo
continued till the next day; and nautical men
on board the Baltic agree that no ship in the
ice could have withslood the storm.
There is just reason for fearing that the City
Of Glasgow was in the vicinity of that icefield
and experienced that gale, and that the crush
ing mountains of ice upon the devoted ship
caused her speedy destruction, az no skill,
strength or power of man could resist such a
combination ofelemental strife. She left Liv-
erpool on the lst OF March, consequently on the
lth she mus, have been within four or five DAYS
sail Of Philadelphia, which would bring her IN

Baltic, and nearly at the same time

MIR. X. then proceeded to,explain that the
bill which he proposed as an amendment was
substantially the same bill as the one under
consideration, with the exception Of he Clayton
amendment. The bill was left as it originally
was before that amendment was added to it,
Other differences were merely of verbal ma.

wished that other gentlemen who were more
anxious to discuss it than himself should do

of the committee to dispense with the reading

agreed to.
Mr.. Ii. proceeded to address the committee
at length in favor of the measure before them

foundation of the measure commanded the de-

tnne that every organized community had the

Mr. II then went on TO show, in answer to
the numerous objections raised, that the bill was
not only in strict accordance with the letter Of
the constitution, but based on immutable prin-
ciples of right and Justice
