Italian Emigration.

The Italian peasantry are emigrating
to South America in great numbers.
Oppressive taxation is driving them away
from home. The government has com
mitted the grave mistake of laying the
heaviest burdens on agriculture. The
grist or mill tax, and other taxes on salt,
breadstuffs, ETC., yield 19i per cent. of
the total revenue, or 100000, 600 lire,
which is equivalent to $46.0O0,000. A
family of Italian labOrers pay on the
average $16 taxes annually out of total
income of S134. while the French family
pays but 50 80 out Of an income Of $40
per annum. The Italian laborers are
docile, industrious and strong. 1t is a
pity they should be tempted away to
South America. They would be exactly
suited to the climate and agricultural
conditions of the Southern States, and if
proper steps were taken to make known
to them the superior inducements offered
by our section, where climate, soil and
productions are so like those Of their
own country, large numbers of them
would seek new homes in Georgia and
Florida, where they would become pros
porous and useful cultivators of the soil.

The memorandum of Mr.. Forster,
Secretary to Ireland, and which is the
platform of the coercionists who would
break up the Land League by force OF
arms, embraces nine points, on which
he instructs the magistrates as to their
powers and duties. All these memoranda
are founded on laws passed under George
III. or William Nv. They show the
right of the magistrate to arrest persons
bearing arms. disguised, masked or
wearing any unusual uniform or badge;
persons threatening others and COMPEL
ing them thereby to quit their dwellings,
etc. persons sending letters tending to
incite an unlawful assemblage or organi-
cation; persons abetting others in the
commission of these ofenses; persons
melting these unlawful meetings by
drum, horn, fife or shouting, etc. The
general tendency of these laws is to
make all persons engaged in any organi-
cation or combination declared to be
illegal, liable to heavy punishment, how
ever slight their connection with it may

WHAT THE SAINTS EXPECT FROM
GENERAL GARFIELD. Delegate Cannon.
the Mormon Representative in Congress,
hopes that ''the Church Of Latter-Day
Saints" will, fare better with Garfield
than with Hayes. An exchange says:
"'He bases this partially on his
knowledge of Garfield in Con-
gress, but hopes a great deal from the
fact that there is a similarity between
portions of the Mormon and the Camp
bellite beliefs (the latter being the church
to which Garfield belongs and Of which
he was once a minister), in reference to
faith, repentance and the remission Of sin
by baptism. One of the leaders of the
Complexities, Sidney Rigden, who help
ed to organize that church with Alexan-
der Campbell, was also an organizer OF
the Mormon Church-having been the
leading candidate for President as against
Brigham Young-and stole many of the
tenets of his former creed to enrich that
religion. Cannon thinks that these cir
cumstances will prejudice Garfield in
favor of the Mormons, and that they
need. therefore, fear no such attack or
denunciation from him as Hayes treated
them to, 1t is to be hoped that the
Saints may be disappointed in their ex-
pectations.

The Antl-slarerr AgItatIon in Brazil


The anti,slavery agitation in Brazil is
increasing in earnestness, and in conse-
quence of which we are told there is not
only great distrust among the planters,
but that judicial sales of negro property
now are well nigh impossible. With the
tenure of that sort of property so uncer-
tain, naturally no one is disposed to en-
cumber himself with it, especially as
European emigration, as an industrial
force to take the place of slave labor on
the plantations, is becoming more avail
able. Intelligent observers of events
and the drift of public opinion express
the conviction that Brazil will be free
country in less than ten years from date.
The policy of the government would
seem to be to let the institution" die
out gradually under the provisions OF
the law of September %, 1871. The
planters in the great slaveholding pro-
vinces, meanwhile, are protesting against
the systematic transfer of slaves by their
owners from other districts, as if under
an apprehension that, with emancipation
near at hand, the property will soon be
valueless, and legislation has been re-
sorted to to prevent their accumulation.
For this purpose the Legislature of Rio
Janeiro has passed law putting tax
of 1 600 milreis on slaves hereafter in
troduced from other provinces, unless
when brought from an outside planta-
ton to another inside belonging to the
same planter and same master, and owned
by him at the date Of the law. Even the
transfer from one county to another in
the province is taxed fifty milreis.

Prosnsritr of the Negroes.



The more census statistics published
the more shocks the Republicans re.
ceive. When the first figures came out
and it was shown that the South was
moving forward much more rapidly in
population than the North, howl went
up from the entire Republican press,
which cried out againsta stuffed census,
as they called it, and declared that as
soon as Congress met an investigation OF
the census frauds in the South would be
made. But this investigation exploded
this bubble, and the improvement and
prosperity of the South were established
by rows Of figures so indisputable that
even the Cincinnati Gazette gave up the
fight.
The latest figures published relative to
the percentage of increase of the whites
and negroes kill another Republican
issue, since they prove that the negro
has been doing unexceptionally well in
the past decade; that he has increased
and prospered under Democratic rule
even more rapidly than the white race,
and that no country on the globe can
show a population increasing as rap
idly as the negroes of the South
ern States. Figures on this point
are available from only fourteen
States, six Southern and eight Northern
ones. These statistics show that the
negroes have increased SO per cent, and
the whites only 26 per cent. 1t is i'm
possible that the colored people can have
been ill-treated, prosecuted or driven
from their homes in the South, as the
Republican papers pretend, and bred and
increased as they have done. They
must have been cared for, and well cared
for, too, for no race can double its num-
bers in seventeen years unless it is in a
prosperous condition.
The heaviest increase of the negroes,
464 per cent, is in South Carolina, from
which State we had the widest stories
Of the raids and outrages Of the 'Red
Shirt" clubs. The six Southern States
given show an increase in blacks of 80
per cent, while their increase in the
eight Northern States is only 20 per cent
In Connecticut, Rhode Island and in
Massachusetts the increase is far less
than South Carolina, North Carolina
and Maryland, evidencing the fact that
the negro thrives best on this side of the
Potomac, and is best cared for here, and
that emigration to Northern climes is IN
furious to him.
Should the increase of the negro popu
lation be as high throughout the Union
as in these fourteen States, whose status
tics are at hand, the colored population
of the United States amounts at present
to G, 743, 900, having nearly doubled since
the war, despite "the Kluxing and
bulldozing" to which, according to the
Republican papers. it has been subjected.
The United States census report will
have all the effect of Democratic cam
paign document. 1t will show that the
South is prospecting, and the negro is i'm.
proving with it.

Two Paragraphs.

Among the many items on the subject
OF providing for Grant, we notice two
that are quite in contrast with each other.
A lady who signs herself Mrs. s. Anne
liza Gillooly," writing to the Philadelphia
Times from New Jersey, says:
"SIR-I notice there is a continual
agitation about providing Gen. Grant an
Office, or giving him something to do, or
making him present of money. Mean
while he may be suffering. For this rea-
son would like to say that we have a
back hall bed room on the second floor
that has not been used since brother
James was killed in front of Petersburg.
Since father lost his leg at Gettysburg
he didn't feel like walking up stairs. and
l do dressmaking and plain sewing in
the front room because it is lighter. So
it is vacant, and if an unfeeling country
cannot and will not do enough for man
who has so nobly fought for it, General
Grant can have that room, rent free until
this nation arouses itself to action and
does something for him."
Then we find this from the Jenkins Of
the Washington Star:
cat the dinner given on Wednesday
evening at the White House to General
and Mrs Grant, the latter lady wore nu-
merous and valuable diamonds, with a
dress of elegant wine-cOlOred velvet
trimmed with point lace. On her arms
were several bracelets, including one gold
band four inches broad, without any
stone in it. In her hair sparkled a
rosette and butterfly of diamonds, and
in her ears long earrings set with valua-
BILE diamonds.
These jewels hardly become the wife
Of a man who is paraded before the
country by Republican journals as an OBJ,
iect Of public charity.

ACCUMULATING RICHES.
The Rapidfty with which the PeO-
pie OF the United States are Adding
10 the National Wealth.
SCIENTIFIC American.

That the people of this country are
relatively well off, Notwithstanding their
expensive ways of living, is pretty well
known. Just how rich we are, and
whether we are rapidly growing richer,
or merely holGing our own, probably
few can tell. Mr.. T. NJ. Coan has been
looking up the statistics of these matters
at home and abroad, and offers the fol-
lowing figures in Hd7per's Magazine.
In answer to the question, Where do we
stand as to total valuation of the national
wealth? he replies:
We stand near the head of the list
third on the list of all the Western ma
tons. The United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland heads the list, with
capital valuation of 81, 400, 900. 000;
then comes France, with $36, zoo, 900,
600; the United States with $32. ZOO, 900,
900; Germany. with $23, 900, 900, 900 !;
Russia, with 5000, 000. 900, and the
low countries with $11, 100, 900, 900 of
capital collectively. These are the xalu.
ations made by those countries of their
entire resources. What is the average
annual income per inhabitant in various
countries Z We come to the front in
this comparison The average annual
income in the United Kingdom is $165,
in the United States $165 also, in the
low countries $3.50, in France 1925. in
the British Colonies 800, in Germany
and also Scandinavia $S5. In this reck
oning Russia, with her ninety millions
of people, is out Of sight as yet; she
will not be very long.
On the score of annual accumulations
our case is even better-relatively far
better. The annual accumulation of
wealth in Germany is 100000 900; it is
1926, O00,0 900 in the United Kingdom,
1915, 600, 600 in France; in the United
States it is 1926, 600, 000l Our increase
of natural wealth since 1850, says a good
English authority, would be enough to
purchase ''the whole German Empire,
with its farms, cities, banks, shipping,
manufactures, etc. The annual accumu-
lation has been 1926, 600, 900, and, there
fore, each decade adds more to the
wealth of the United States than the
capital value of Italy or Spain. Every
day that the sun rises upon the Ameri-
can people it sees an addition of $780,
600 to the wealth of the republic.

It is time, remarks the Nashville
american, for Great Britain to recognize
that the sympathies of the world are with
the Irish in the present struggle in that
unfortunate country. Those who are
Just do not underrate the great services
rendered to advancing civilization by
England, and they would not, perhaps,
undertake TO say exactly what policy
should be pursued, or that Parnell and
the Home Rulers are right in the plans
they propose, or that the Land Leaguers
have taken exactly the right way to a
solution; but they do see that there are
wrongs which demand some remedy,
evils which are to be corrected, griev-
ances to be redressed, expressions which
must end before Ireland or England can
prosper. Ii is clear to the rest of the
world that England's policy towards Ire
land has been failure.

The sixteen Southern States now con-
tain a school population Of 5.214.OOA
There are enrolled in the public schools
1878, 800 children. The average amount
paid teachers is S34 "a for males and
$31 OF for females, the highest salaries
being paid in Arkansas. The total in
come of the schools is $13,718, COG, Mis-

with 1877, the showing is very favora-
BILE, all of the sixteen States, with three
exceptions, showing an increase in the
enrolment of scholars, the number of
schools and teachers and the amount ex-

to improvement, Texas makes the best
showing. Missouri also makes very
