IMMIGRaTIOS ABUSES.

The abuses of immigration laws have
become so fragrant that not only has
Congress jost moved to make an invesli-
CATION of them, but the Knights of La
Dor as an organization have taken up The
cudecls i'm behalf Of II revision and mod
ificatiOn of the naturalization laws as al
present existing.
The attitude of the Knights of Labor
upon this question is PROBABLY correctly
voiced by Mr.. Litchman, secretary of the
order, who has recently published an
article in the JoapHai AT JHit,d LAIR,
He takes very ultra ground, holdir Z
that the time has come TO restrict, il not,
for time, TO entirely prohibit, immigra-
ton; that the yearly admission of zoo,
600 immigrants makes impossible not
only any advance in wages, but even tie
retention of what are now received, and
that the labor market is being constantly
gorged by foreigners who are willing 10
work for any wages to obtain start,
the start" being obtained al tie
direct expense Of the Ameli.
can or Amercanized labOrer Mr..
Litchmaa gives new definition OF the
autonomy Of labor when he states that
whatever affects the wages paid TO labor
affects the power of labor TO consume,
and when some labor ceases 10 earn, and
therefore ceases to consume other labor
in its turn is discharged because of over
production"
In conclusion, Mr. Litchman thinks
that no harm would be done by the pro
hbition of all immigration for the period
af five years, which would give the ma
ton time to assimlate the foreign ele-
ment now within our borders, and make
up its mind whether or no any more OF
that element was desirable.
Mr.. Litchman naturally takes his views
from a purely labor standpoint, and for
that reason they are significant. They
show that the American laborer is getting
very tired of being protected against
everything but labor ITSELF and that
he is beginning to realize that the
northern millionaire protectionists have
heretofore been working more in their
own interests than In his But the most
important point of all is this-thst whole
sale immigration, that was so earnestly
advocated In the infancy of the govern
ment, is no longer necessary, when the
Republic is fairly under way on its

almost as good as engaged TO Tom Burns,
to whose spread she merrily wended her
way. properly attended by a chaperon
who knew how to keep discreetly out OF
sight.
But fate was unkind to her. She had
hardly set her foot inside OF Toms cham
bers than the host was introducing her 10
a man whose face gave her dreadful
shock.
You ought to know my cousin, Jack
Harmes," Tom said cordially.
And what punishment could be too
severe for that wretch Of Jack liarmeS'
who had the cruelty to rejoin:
"Oh. We doknow each other. We were
engaged five years ago while we were III
