3. The invitation to all free labor, not de-
graded nor criminal in character, nor bound
by contracts which tend to deprive immigrants
of their freedom to ask American wages and
to adopt American ways of living, has brought
to this country the 100000 laborers afore-
said, of whom only a part of the latest arrivals
can be called paupers or now work for wages
which tend to depress the American standard.
The absolutely conclusive proof is that since
the protective system was adopted, and began
to invite this great army of foreign consumers
to our shores, the wages of all labor IN this
country have risen moro than 80 per cent,
while the products of labor have been cheap
ened. No other protection conceivable is so
effective or so beneficial for the American me-
chanic as that which yearly adds to the home
market for his products half million OF con-
sumers, and yet has raised his wages in spite
of the large additions to the ranks of laborers

League. Mr.. Sections amendment to increase
the number of judges from three to FIVE was
voted down by decisive majority. This was
practically the serving of another notice on
Mr.. Parnell and his friends that they must take
what their enemies are pleased to offer or
nothing. Judging by the tenor OF the debate,
as reported. the speakers for the Government
waste little attention on questions OF abstract
propriety and fairness. They adhere to the
course marked out for them, and obey the whip
as slavishly as the Democratic dough-faces OF
the North kept time to the whistle Of the slave
drivers of the South in pre-rebellion days.
Whether or not the commission will ever enter
upon its duties seems as doubtful to-day as

QUESTIONS THAT ARE SIMPLE.

The following questions are forwarded 70
THE TRIBUNE with request for an early reply ::
Sir: II the Republican party really desires 10 further
the interests Of the mechanic and Iaborer of this
country, why does not take the most effective means
OF helping him, by protecting by protective tariff or
In some way, not the product of his labor as IL IS well
known that he gets but little of that but his labor
iselfl
what difference does II make. as far the American
mechanic Is concerned, whether the pauper aborer of
Europe remains In Europe, manufactures his goods and
ships them here, comes here and makes them?
Don't you think 1t little inconsistent to shout about
protecting the American mechanic against the pauper
laborr OF Europe and in the same breath Invite the
pauper laDorer over here as many Republican
have donei ALEX. V. GAUDAUR
New-York July &c, 1888.
1. 1t is not well known, nor by any intelli-
gent man known at all, that the American la
bOrer gets but little of the product of his
labor; he gets enough to live more comfor:-
ably than the laborer of any other country,
and yet American laborers save more yearly
than the laborers of England, Germany and
France combined. Measures to protect Ameri-
can labor by exclusion Of Chinese and foreign
contract labor have already been enacted by
Republican votes.
.. The pauper labOrer Of Europe, when he
comes here. quickly ceases TO be pauper la
borer. Witness the testimony of Italian i'm
migrants before the Senate Investigating Com
mttee now in session. who stated that they
could live here on l 8 cents per day, and did
live on / 0 or cents per day in Europe, but
were actually getting from 81 to 81 so per
day and spending the greater part of it. The
American mechanic now has to furnish all the
clothes, boots and shoes, hats. tools and house
accommodations required by 100000 labor
ers who have come to this country since the pro-
tective tariff was adopted, and who consume
here three or four times as much as they ever
did in Europe, whereas, if they had remained
abroad, their scanty wants would have been

ANOTHER BLAINE PLOT

1t is less than six weeks since that fine old
Jacksonan Democrat, Mr. Larry Godkin, of the
Second Ward, discovered and proclaimed to the
world the plot to nominate Blaine Our read
ers VIII remember that maGnanimOusly i'm
parted to them the essential details of that
Voting conspiracy-how Mr.. Blaine, instead of
TRANQUILITY enjoying the scenery of Scotland from
the top of Mr.. Carnege's COACH as his host had
every reason to suppose he would, wac in reality
scurrying through the heather in several different
directions at the same time in search OF the
nearest telegraph station, and debating coups
d'etat by Atlantic cable at shilling a word
Larry's prompt exposure of this odious conspiracy
is one of his chief titles to permanent fame,
and it was generally felt that nothing further
could be reasonably demanded But now a singu-
larly benignant destiny affords Larry another
chance to immortalze himself without personal
eXertion. and at a very small expense We
merely offer him the hint and leave him to reap
the glory.
There is another plot in process Of incubation
a plot TO welcome Blaine, and there is abundant
evidence to show that it is a deep-seated and
formidable affair. II originated, all plots do,
in the minds Of few ingenious schemers, or
possibly in single fertile BRAIN Mr.. Blaine was
taken into the conspiracy, and at once responded
with the diabolical suggestion that the plotted
welcome should be inexpensive possible.
Some one dvulgcd the secret and within twenty
four hours the original cOnsprators up TO
their ears in applications for permission TO take
part, and il now appears that rather more than
one-half of the people of the United States
eager to join the plot This general outline
Of the most gigantic conspiracy of modern times
is, of course, more or less familiar to every one
who read, but it may not be generally known
with what iendish skill all the machinery has
been adjusted. The other day Mr.. Edison, con-
trary to his usual custom, told reporter that
he was too busy to talk with him. The fact is
that he was perfectng an invention by means
of which Mr.. Blaine will be able, from his state
room aboard the City of New York. to tap the
cable at any hour of the day or night and CON-
muncate with the arch-cOnspirators on shore.
This will be an immense advance upon the fa-
clities which he enjoyed in Scotland There he
had to Chamber down from the top OF q lofty
coach every few minutes. sometimes presumably
while the horses were doing their ten miles an
hour and run desperately across country in an
agony of apprehension lest the plot to nominate
him should miscarry.
This is merely a single illustration of the
resources which are being employed in the plot
to welcome Blaine. We have been confdentially
informed of several other malignant contrivanees
to facilitate the business. but to divulge them
would be ungencrous, indeed unjust to Larry,
for he is the original dscoverer of Blaine plots,
and entitled to all the profit and glory.

ITALIAN IMMIGRATION.

The Congressional inquiry into the italian
immigration question has already shown that
there has been good deal of contract work
done. Italians here have undertaken to " boom'
the United States in Italy, and have made COM
missions, sometimes moderate and sometimes
not on groups of their cOuntrymen for whom
they have procured passage In other cases
the passage money has been advanced on con-
dtion that the immigrants should work il out
here. The scale II American wages for even
the most poorly paid classes Of labor seems
lavish to these labOrers, and the promise Of
81 % day is quite enough to persuade them
to cross the ocean. After they have been here
a short time on such wages they save enough
to make remittances, and as they endeavor to
maintain their original parsimonious style of
living they are regarded as undesirable neigh
bors. But il must be pointed on, that the
history of this country is conclusive dsproof

and each one has evoked the same apprehen-

not be too generally studied and understood

to low wages and poor living, comes TO the

Auences are at work upon him to broaden his
views of life. TO stimulate his desires, to foster
discomfort with the old conditions. 1t Is inn
possble for any man Of the least mental ca
pacity TO escape the eevating influence OF these
surroundings. He sees how much bettcr the
American worI1ingman lives than he himself
has ever been able to do. He finds within MS
reach great number of things desirable 10
possess. which were formerly unattainable. lie
gradually absorbs ideas of comfort, hopes Tor
the future, standards OF living, which are In
accord with the manners and customs OF the
new country. BY degrees he expands, as
Stimulates himself to the American ways, and
when he has risen to the level of expenditure
permitted by his earnings, he begins to doubt
whether he is being paid enough. From the
moment that question presents itself to him
he ceases to have any affiliations with the
"pauper labor of Europe" He is aedged. lie
is an American workingman, with just idea
of the value Of his labor and practical de-
termination to make the most of it in the
market.
This process Of assimilation is going on hero
all the time The nation is continually re-
cruted from the Old World by throngs who
bring little more than muscle and thrift, and IN
less than generation take their place in the
body polite as if they had been born there, and
in their turn become uneasy because Of the
initial willingness of their successors to work
for small wages. The process is an interesting
one, and it is carried on steadily and with
practically undertaking regularity. Some ma
tonalties are little slower than others, hav-
ing been kept back in their old homes by ages
of servitude and barbarism These retain
their original crudities longest, but no matter
how sluggish their advance may be it does
not halt and the pressure Of the new condi-
tons carries them along until they have reached
the common plane. The first stimulus is the
growth of new wants. At the beginning this
may provoke discomfort but soon the means
of satisfying these new wants appear, and
then industry pride and ambition spur on the
immigrant until he has obtained what he yearns
for. Civilization depends mainly upon this
creation of new wants, and it develops most
rapidly when the general conditions are such
as to facilitate the satisfaction of such fresh
needs. Because the general conditions in the
United States are moro favorable in this re-
spect than can be found anywhere else, the
growth of the country has been unprece-
dentedly rapid and luxuriant. But it should
never be forgotten that very large proportion
of that growth has consisted in the education,
elevation and assimilation Of foreign elements
which have first appeared as the crudest Of
raw material

The firm refusal OF the Indians at Standing
Rock Agency to sign either Yes or No to the docu-
ment submitted by the Commissioners-n a word,
to leave any permanent mark on paper lest it
should be used to betray them-conveys a concise
and humliating estimate of the reliance which
they place on the good faith OF our people. It
would be pleasant to accept it as merely the ex-
preston of a suspicious temperament but unfOrt-
unatcly the red mans distrust OF the white man
is not natural, but acquired.

II has become a fixed custom among the

each year Of the birthday of Captain John Erics-

outstanding that he to-day celebrates his
eighty-sixth birthday. Judging by the last
census, there must be at least 235, 600 citizens
Of this country who are over eighty years Of
age. Captain Ericsson owes his celebrity to
his scientific achievements, and though he may
perfect his caloric engine, and teach the world
how to utilize the dynamic force contained in
the rays Of the sun, the people Of the United
States will ever remember him most gratefully
for what he did for the Union in the war of
