The constant deterioration in the
character of the immigrants to this
country is something startling to
those who note the large proportion
of thriftless, diseased, ignorant and
unprogressive foreigners focking to
our shores. An eminent statistician
shows that the proportion of unskilled
day laborers has already reached up
wards of fifty per cent of the total
immigration. 1t is evident that IN
restricted immigration should no
longer be allowed, and that some
congressional enactment is necessary
to apply educational tests through
our consuls abroad, or through the
steamship companies, rejecting the
merely ignorant, all criminals and
paupers. 1t is a serious question
with the political economists of this
country whether the limit has not
been reached with us for the safe as
similation of the ignorant masses of
Europe with our present population.

The present tariff bill before con-
gress contains many acts of gross in
justice towards the farmers of this
country, especially those of New
York and New England, but there is
very little reason for expecting the
passage of such a bill this season.
The premature rejoicing of the On
tario, Quebec and New Brunswick
farmers over the free vegetables and
farm products of the Mills bill will
probably be the only pleasure they
will have concerning the United
States tariff measure for 1888. Why
congress should attack the wool and
farm products of the Woodworking
farmers of this country, while leav
ing the sugar and tobacco taxes upon
the statute book, it is difficult to see.
In 1888, the first year of the oper-
alton of Vermont's corporation tax
law, the amount paid into the state
treasury was s196,678.51; 1884,
S2O5, 221.76; 1885, 5000, 685.7O;
1886, 1920, 7O1.73; 1887, estimated
at over s238, 575.62-an increase OF
over S42, 900 since the first year, and
of about SIS, 900 during the past
year. The principal items of this in
crease are the following:
1885. 1886. 1887.
Railroads, $s7,445 SOL ,536 SHOOT
Savings Banks & T. Co.'s, s2,92s Se,5S4 %. GO.
Insurance Companies, 2o,2T2 2I,946 23,4UO
The revenue from other sources
has run quite even, the transportation
and car companies paying some ST.
500 annually, express 81 400, tele-
graph $500, telephone 81 900.

The Boston Traveller seems to under
stand the speech of the Democratic candi-
date at Bangor such as the Wing has
presented it. Ii says; The Bangor dem
onstration was arranged to afford Mr..
Putnam an opportunity to shape the
approaching campaign on the part of the
Democrats. He has laid out the line of
discussion, and it is an open ayowal of the
treaty a. matter of course, and a defence
of Mr.. Clevelands message and of the
Mills bill. He takes the bull by the horns.
and having taken John Bull whole in the
fishery issue, the free wool. free lumber.
and free farm produce comes easy to
swallow. Against the almost unanimous
Judgment of wooden manufacturers, Mr..
Putnam, the lawyer, approves the Mills
schedule. Against the protest of farmers.
Mr.. Putnam, who only cultivates his
clients, advocates free wool.
Against the earnest wish of fishermen.
MIR. Putnam, who consumes fish, but does
not catch them, would open our markets
to the Canadian catch. The boldness of
Candidate Putnam is to be admired, and il
il something to have strait issue. From
this time on after this display of genuine
free trade, English view over roast OK by
Mr.. Putnam of Maine, Republicans will
proceed to roast these Democratic ideas
until nothing is left of them but cinders
and ashes

rhe Republican Candidate Favors an
American Policy.

Gen. Harrison has no sympathy with
those Free Trade opinions prevalent in
thi. country, which are hostile to national
assistance to our shipping interests. In IA
speech to a large delegation of visiting Re-
publicans from Henry County, Indiana,
last week. he touched on matter which
il of. interest:to the entire American people,
and of special importance to those of New
England and the Atlantic seaboard. He
took decided grounds in favor of liberal
compensation TO American steamships for
transporting foreign mails, patriotic pol
icy which this B0urbon-ruled, free trade
Administration has Just defeated and de-
nounced. Harrison also declared his adj
herence 10 the American idea that CONNER
cial advances should be made to the Central
and South American States. whose pro-
duets we consume so largely, and which,
in turn, desire to purchase goods from Us
when proper facilities are afforded to send
those goods out to them. 1t is true he

cLEvELAND's LETTER.
None of the Party Leaders Have Yst
Seen II.

New York Herald's Washington special
saws: At is understood that the Presidents
letter of acceptance has not been completed,
and none of the party leaders has even seen
the rough draft Of it, Some OF them have
urged the President to issue the letter soon
bu, he has intimated that he does not think
there is any special haste Several OF the
leaders of the party, among them MI
Carlisle, have recently expressed the opinion
that Mr. Cleveland will not show his letter
10 anyone out side of his cabinet, until it is
made public. 1t is expected that the Presi-
dent will follow the lines of his December
message in his letter, and declare for re-
duction of the revenues to the actual neces-
stiles of the government, with due regard ts
the interests of American labor.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1888-08-08

The disposition of the Bourbon press
to try to deceive the people As to the real
position of the Democratic party on the
tariff issue, is very manifest. From the
date of the publication of Cleveland's
message to the passage of the Mills bill
In the House, the Democratic editors and
speakers maintained bold, aggressive
attitude towards Protection, and were
profuse in their arguments and assertions,
with which Free Trade advocates are
familiar on both sides of the Atlantic.
They denounced Protection as not allow
able by the Constitution of the United
States, As unsound in theory and policy,
Astounding in corruption, and nothing
less than system OF organized robbery
Of the masses of the people for the benefit
OF a few bloated manufacturers. But the
popular uprising against British Free
Trade all over the land has finally opened
the eyes Of the Clevelandites to their
actual status before the country. They
are thoroughly alarmed. They think
new tactics must be speedily brought
into use. They have the brazen effrontery
to deny their recent record. Even r.
q. Mills, the Texan Calhounite. now
INSISTS that his bill is after all
very good Protectionist measure.
There are reasons to believe that
Cleveland has been urged by the magma
ties of his party TO delay his letter of ac-
ceptanee so as to use the Mills bill in its
fnaiforIn as u ladder by which to climb
out Of the hole in which his message
placed him. But it makes little difference
what devices of deception he now resorts
to. 1t is too late for him to attempt re-
treat. His December message and the st.
Louis endorsement of it fully committed
him and his party to distinctively anti
projection principles and policies. They
Anwe crossed the river, and taken up the
bridge behind them. They have chosen
their line of battle, and to attempt now in
panic to change il only carries confusion
in their ranks and makes their defeat the
more Inevitable and complete. The Phil
adelphis Press puts the facts as follows
itttmptE uiAAts MS RECORD.
1t is clear one and clearly for Free Trade
The revenue, he urged. must come down to
remove a surplus then estimated at SIl3,-
100000, but nearer sll0, 900 200. He would
not touch internal revenue taxation. in 1887
4lss,S2s, S9l; he urged that no one was hurt
by paying the duties on Injuries, yielding
Sill 49,. This left all his reduction TO
BE- made on the remaining revenue, sugar
dudes yielding S5S,0l6.6s6, and the duties
protecting raw materials and manufactures.
which yielded eli, 499 ,745. If Cleveland's
party has its way and keeps the duty on sug-
ar, the reduction must all fall on Protective
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1888-08-08

duties. If sugar is swept away half the Pro-
seckon in the tariff must still go by the board.
This is Free Trade 1t is nothing else.
It " the position Grover cievsland took
in his msssage. His short way with the
suYlns7 would be still shorter way with
all Protection. On this message he went to
Cosagress and his party, on it he was nsfninat-
ed and on II he mnst run. He would have
right, however he hedged now. if elected, to
clam his victory as an endorsement Of HIM
self and his message--the most important
political state paper TO which he ever signed
his name. He would have right to mist
that the internal revenue taxes should De-
kept up. that taxes on Injuries should be
left untouched, that sugar should continue
10 pay heavy duty. and that taxes for Pro-
lection should be swept away BY applying a
reda ton OF all the surplus OF slVV,vv,Je
or so TO Protective duties, duties yielding
year by year from 81 Il, $50. 900 to sl2o, 600,
900 gJs.s a Er vs.
This would sweep away all the Protection
there is.
The plain truth of this statement OF
Cleveland's real position and the utter
worthlessness of all present Democratic
talk TO the contrary cannot be denied. II
ne were reelected he would inevitably co
operate with the predominating influence
Of his party with which he has so closely
identified himself, and any promises which
he now may make contrary 10 his De-
cember argument, or that German or Bar
mum may hold out to the friends of Pro
lection. would not be worth the paper on
which they are made. Had the country
never been -ignally cheated before on
this great issue between Protection and
Free Trade there might be danger that a
stupendous national fraud could nov be
perpetrated by the Democratic leaders
aud their press. But the shameful history
Of 1874 and the lying campaign of 1884,
cannot be repeated again before the pres
eut American people.

A Free Whisky Cry Silenced.

The Evening Post has finally let the cat
out of the bag. Speaking of the New Jer-
sew High License Local Option measure the
Post says:
The only escape of the liquor men from
the law must now rest on its repeal, and they
will undoubtedly look to the election of a
Democratic Legislature to secure this. This
gives the matter almost national importance
this wear. For while there is no probability
of the success of the Republican electoral
ticket in New Jersey, the election of that
ticket will be even more difficult with the
auti-temperanee influence thrown against the
Republicans in all the Legislative districts
than it would be otherwise.

At Buffalo the Mills bill has brought
over to the support of General Harrison
hundreds of Democrats. One of the
chief of these Democrats who will not
support Mr.. Cleveland is Jonathan SEQ
vile, former mayor of Buffalo. and also
former Congressman from one of the
Buffalo congressional districts. Mr. SEQ
vile Is a man of large wealth, million
aire, and has always heretofore been a
lavish contributor to the Democratic cam
paign treasures. From some cause or
other there is strong reluctance on the
part of the citizens of Buffalo to vote for
one who has resided in their midst, aside
from his tariff views. Will some of the
Democratic editors, who are well posted,
please explain how this happens.
