SENATOR PALMER ON IMMIGRATION.
POINTS or THE BILL FOR Observation-Disclosures T.

POINTS or THE BILL FOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
INC FACTS AND sTATIsTICs
WASHINGTON Jun. "a (SpeciaD .-Senator Palmer
delivered to-day his lOngexpected speech on the
bill to restrict immigration introduced by him
before the holiday recess. Like everything that
Mr. Palmer does in the way Of set speeches. IL
was carefully prepared well delivered ana NJ
tracted universal attention 1t replete with
interesting statistics and full Of suggestive hgures
As an argument for the necessity OF restricting
undesirable immigration, 1t was cogent and well,
nigh unanswprable. II demagogues do not succeed
in getting control of the question in the House,
it Is barely possible that even this do-nothihg
Congress may pass at its present session measure
embOdying the principles contained IN the fallicf
bill
If it was desired, he said. that the American
worlSingmen should retain his superiority over
the underpad laborer of Europe such obstacles
would have TO be interposed from time to hme
as would deter the influx OF those who would
degrade American labor by undue competition.
Much had been done for America and its laborers
by the duties imposed on foreign manufactured
goods; but that very process had stimulated I'M
migration and now threatened TO lower the
standard of the American people by lowering the
wages Of those who toiled The initial step had
been taken in excluding a race not Homogeneous;
and it not advisable to select the most deSlr-
able from the Aryan races instead OF welcoming
the drcgs with the wine? Political economists
differed widely as TO the capital value OF lmml-
grants, but taking the estimate OF Edward YOUNG
former Chief of the Bureau OF Statistics, as cor
rect-that the average value was SsO0--the o.
OOO, 600 immigrants that had come to the country
had contributed Sl2,000,000, 600 to its wealth
The census enumeration in 1880 found 6,619,-
043 foregn-born residents In the country, and
there had been registered 3.577,769 since January
/. 1881. making the present probable imported
population of the United States about ten millions
There was no present nunicrca reason lor pro
hbting this influx, except, possibly, the GROWING
of the labor market. But an undue and oppreS-
sivc competition III wlges being felt st md
trial centres the public institutions were Dclng
overtaAed and worst of all, there was growth OF
clslssls un-Amercan and hard OF ass;ml .ti.n n,
which menaced the public peace and Threatened
to overturn all established law and usage. a CON
yicion growing that the country yo W zoo onS S
of wealth had passed beyond the need OF lmmi-
grafton. .,o <r ,bo
The object Of this bill was to provide Tor inc
exclusion of dependent Delinquent and dangerous
classes through inspection ana nvSstg' cnfrT
their country, instead OF at the porls "
and 70 effect this with the least possible hardSnp
or Inconvenience to desirable immigrants. ~, IN
the conclusion Of Mr.. Palmer's remarks the Hili
was referred TO the Committee on Foreign lsela-
lions.

mates, and tho Carson faction sending Perry Carson

Tho trouble started at the very beginning over the
nomination of a temporary chairman. The minute
three or four names had been mentioned the conven-
ton seemed to lose all constraint Delegates mounted
chairs and each began a harangue on his own behalf
In vain did the chairman rap for order with his heavy
cane. As soon as Fred Dyson had been declared by
one faction to DO the chairman he rushed upon the
stage closely followed by w. c. Chase. and against tho
protest OF the presiding officer Thon there was
rush of all the delegates for the space In front OF tho
stage. Dyson attempted to put motion and so ala
the presiding officer.
This was the signal for several delegates TO mount
tho stage and engage in tho struggle. 1t looked as
though tho convention would end In free hght.
Fortunately half dozen policemen led by lieutenant
anpeared at this and prevented further hos

arose. A committee credentials was appointed,

faction with jeers and laughter, IN ~.
