The London Economist makes an es-
innate that as a source of National profit
America will be benefited to the amount
of $35, 100000 by the immigration from
foreign countries during 1880. 1t bases
this estimate on the ASSUMPTION that
each person brings in money about $50.
Forty-six per cent. of those males who
arrived were between fifteen and forty
years of age, seven per cent. were over
forty years, and ten per cent. were un'
der fifteen years. OF the females TWEEN
ty-eieht per cent. were over fifteen years
and nine per cent. were under that age
IC is believed each male immigrant earns
SIPS surplus per annum, and each fe'
male one-fourth as much. If this is 8
correct estimate nearly five humid ed mil
lions are added to the productive wealth
of our country in one year.

IN contrasting the condition of
the Reading shareholders with the
condition of the shareholders of the
Northern Central Railway, Presi-
dent Gowen was, at least, unfor-
tunate. The Northern Central is
solvent !; its shares are selling at 43 ;
it is paying interest on its bonds it
is clear of floating debt; its roadway
is IN as good condition as that of the
Pennsylvania or New York Central
Railways. This is state of things
to vivify and warm the inmost
cookies of shareholders heart. II
is also a state of things to which
Reading shareholders, under Mr.
Gowen's management, are strangers
If they could swap shoes with the
holders of Northern Central they
would tread our streets like men on
the way to Paradise. Alas as il
is, they walk like men bound on
very different journey.-Rscord.

my learned friend cannot sit on both

Now there Is another thing. / want
TO brush away something my learned
friend Mr.. Bates has brought before you;
1 want to get some of this rubbish out
OF the way. They have brought two
statements here, one OF them made In
Delaware city with which we have moth
Ing to do. They have brought another,
and they have said that we published
this statement broadcast throughout this
land. Now, gentlemen, that is the
charge; that we put before the public
that we had lands worth 100000 in
pauphin County, aud these amounts in
different counties of this state and else
where. Gentlemen, just look IN what
position this legal gymnast has put him
self again. In all this State Of Della
ware, In all the printing offices Of this
State and Of this land thei could not
tind single publication. They had TO
20 into the Insurance Department oftie
State of Maryland, and get copy there
sworn to and filed-for what? To pub
lsh fraud? No, but simply as the basis
of license TO act in the State Of Mary
land, which is not seen probably by one
of all the thousands of men who live in
the State of Maryland, other than the
officer.
They have not linked this, like their
friend Mr.. Henry to corruption, and
then held him up as pure man.

they have suffered themselves to be car
riei away by their passions and feelings
in this case, and have not adhered strict

borne away by mere sentiment. That
paper has never been published nor has
any other paper like it been published
anywhere. 1t is not known, l will guar

TIE report of the Secretary of the In
terror is an interesting public document.
1t treats freely and frankly on all mat
ters comprised within his department.
Public buildings and grounds, hospitals
for the insane, the reorganization OF the
land system, forestry aud geological sur
veys, are duly considered, and appro-
pirate suggestions made on all branches
Of the public service pertaining to bis
especial jurisdiction. The most impor-
tant of those subjects which he recon-
mends to the consideration Of Congress
is that relating to our Indian policy.
The Secretary confesses he has been
mistaken as to its results. The policy
inaus u -ated four years since Of remov-
ing the Indians to reservations has
worked great wrong to the PoDcas,
Pawnees and other tribes who were
forced to go to the Indian Territory. he
admits that it is impracticable to pre-
vent the pressure Of white immigration
upon those settlements, and that the
only made by which the Indian problem
can be satisfactorily solved is by the
| dissolution of tribal cohesions and merg-
ing the Indians with the citizens as one
people. Then, by means of education
the cultivation Of habits of industry and
| the proper assurance given to the In
dians that they will be secured in theil
rights of property, the proceeds of theil
labor, and entitled to all the protection
afforded to other citizens, they remain
content under the government tina
cares for all classes without regard tt
caste, and permanent peace will be es
tablished on those frontier settlement
that have lately required the prssenc'
of United States troops TO protect tn
property and lives of our citizens.

that the total receipts during the
fiscal year were $ll3, ,440 ,62l .3S, or
