RICHARD H. SYLVESTER. Editor
WASHINGTON, JULY :, 1888.

WE DID NOT SUPPOSE for moment
that the talk about Mayor Hewitt's
accepting the nomination of the
American party for President had
any foundation in fact, but there is
no question as TO the vitality of the
American organization, nor is there
any man in the country who enter
tains views more thoroughly in accord
with what is called the American pol
icy than Mr.. Hewitt.
One might imagine from his fire.
quently expressed opinions on the
subject that he was actually coaching
himself for the candidacy of the
American party, but this he denies.
Some Of his strongest utterances
will be found in an address he made
Thursday to the boys and girls who
wrote the prize stories for the Fourth
of July edition of the New York. Mail
and Express, especially in reference
TO patriotism.
He holds that the time has come
when greater restrictions must be
placed on foreign immigration, in
order to check the influx of the
many thousands who annually land
upon our shores, practically under
contract Of service, and bound to GER
tain contractors" whose business it is
to sell their labor in competition with
the free labor of the country. Upon
this point he says:
This is q new and a very great danger. It
threatens not merely the livelihood of Amer
lean citizens, but It threatens the perpetuity
of free institutions. AS the labor of these
people is sold In block, so their votes can be
sold. They are sold. They are delivered at
the polls, and where public sentiment is so
finely divided as Il is between the two great
parties of this country, small contingent
can determine which shall possess the Gov
eminent Of this country.
The remedies he suggests are that
no persons shall be admitted to Amer
ican citizenship who cannot read and
write, or show by some satisfactory
examination that they are entitled to
the privileges they seek. He would
also require fourteen or twenty-one
years residence as a preliminary to
citizenship. In conclusion he said,
evidently having lively recollection
of the various criticisms that have
been passed upon portions of his own
official record:
The first mission of an American citizen is
never to do a mean thing and the meanest
thing an American citizen can do is, when he
takes public office and knows what his duty
is, not TO do II because he is afraid II will
hurt his personal popularity. This is the
meanest thing he can do.
The objects he has in view are, Of
course, to be accomplished by legisla-
tion, and not allowed to wait upon the
slow motions of a new party organi-
zation that as party is never likely
to obtain control of the Government.
1t should be understood, however,
that the American policy is not
based upon any mere race prejudice
or spirit of antagonism to the foreign
element of our population. Millions
of the best citizens of the United
States are of foreign birth, and
millions more will probably become
SO. These, as we'll as the native-born
are agreed as TO the wisdom of moi
making this country the dumping
ground of European ignorance, pau
perism and crime.

ment could be suggested in which
more people are interested than this,
because it directly concerns the mil
lions whose business calls them to the
Metropolis from the West, Northwest

imperfect and inconvenient means of

~ WANT TO ASSURE YOU tonight that am
an advocate of civil service reform. My brief
experience at Washington has led me often

BENJAMIN Harrison.
The above quotation is from a
speech delivered by General Har-
rison nearly six years ago, and be-
cause of the utterance of such opin-
ions, if for nothing else, the New
York Sun says he ought to be beaten,
adding that "the people Of this coun-
try are able to govern themselves
without any Chinese rules and eX-
aminations in their politics"
But what are we going to do about
it in this Presidential dilemma? If
Harrison deserves to be beaten on the
grounds stated, why not Cleveland &?
1t is true that President Cleveland
has not gone so far in the expression
of desire to be relieved of any con-
nection with the distribution of pub
lie patronage, and what he has said
from time to time in that line has not
been carried out with great austerity
in his official practice, but he is never
theless committed to the "Chinese"
system, and has succeeded in fasten-
ing it around the necks of the Am eri-
can people so tightly that both Of the
great parties are afraid to kick.
