While the people of Audubon are en-
joying the prevailing and unseltish
pleasures of Christmas week it will be
well to remember the divinely spoken
and ever living truth "the poor we have
always you" IL is too often the case
that communities revert to the miser-
les of persons in foreign countries
whose pleas are made by missionaries
and agents, meanwhile living in ignor-
ance of the poverty existing at home.
No doubt individual effort has been
made to relieve the sufferings and pro-
vide for the necessities of some, but
systematic effort has not been made so
far as we are able to learn. Every
community has its unfortunates and
Audubon is not an exception. There
are those whose condition appeals to
the sympathies of their fellow men,
homes where tedious illness has banished
luxuries and made the procurement Of
necessities well nigh impossible, those
upon whom additional burdens are
laid at the most unwelcome season of
the year and who would richly repay
the slightest attention with words of
deepest gratitude.

protection to home interests to please a
small minority of the party. Under
the circumstances Mr.. Nelson is quite
as much out of place in the republican
party as Samuel J. Randall is in the
democratic party. We believe the bet
ter policy for the republicans is to main
tain their ground on this question I'M
flinchingly. There is little or nothing
to be gained by wretched compromises.
If there is enough of free-trade senti-
ment among republicans in the North
west Gas some democratic papers claim)
to give two or three states to the demo-
Gratis, what would it avail the republic
cans to save those states by virtual
abandonment of the protective policy
and thereby jeopardize their chances of
securing the electoral votes of New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut?

working-people out of the country by
inability to give them remunerative
employment, the protective policy in
the United States has enabled our
workers to live and prosper. Likewise
the 50. James Gazette of London holds
that the free-trade policy has been
productive of great distress in England.
1t says:
We believe, with the proverbially bust
ness-like and shrewd" Americans, that
the fostering Of native industries has been
good for their country and has put its future
on a surer foundation. We believe that our
Australian colonies have been wise in taking
the same course, If only for the reason that
by nurturing of all the arts, all the handi-
crafts, those colonies will allow to its peo-
pie the use and expansion of all the faculties,
including the noblest of them, making of
them many-sided people, adept in
many things and sufficient to themselves in
most, instead OF being dead-level, mind
restricted communities of the mere bucolic
order. We say that to doubt the relative
eNpeulenCy, gu Ceuerd, HduuIdlly lOlloNS
from a knowledge of the whole subject; that
though free-trade thoroughly carried out
may have been best for England at one
time, it may not be good for her at all times,
and that political considerations, which in
clude the existence of the country, com
merce and all, add enormous weight in these
times to that opinion.
A prominent Englishman, visiting
this country few months ago, said:
" We want free-trade on your part bad
enough-your protective measures are
shutting up manufactures all over
England. Yet" said he, 8" it will surely
ruin your industries if you permit free
trade" To-day England, with her half
paid workmen, has almost destroyed her
home market, and yet with this fact
plainly in view there are many people
like Mr.. Wheeler in this country who
are trying to reduce our magnificent
industries to the unpromising condition
of those of Great Britain.

English Views of Free Trade.

In his debate with Congressman But
terw orth on the tariff issue in Boston,
recently, Mr.. Everett p. Wheeler,
president of the New York free-trade
club, dwelt with particular emphasis
upon the blessings of free-trade to the
English working-man. Without going
at length into facts and statistics to
show the fallacy of his position, it may
be said that a number of excellent
English authorities do not agree with
him. Not long ago Sir Edward Sullivan
stated, in letter in the London Post,
that the competition of foreign labor
threatens to kill English labor, and that
one-sided free-trade has made England
so cheap country to buy in that its
workers can not earn money enough to
live in it. While England has driven

house. The bill granting a pension to
Mrs. Logan and increasing the pension
of the widow of General Blair was
passed The minority of the ways and
means committee submit a plan by
which the surplus revenue may be re-
duced without disturbing any important
industry. In outline it proposes the
repeal of the tax upon tobacco and upon
spirits used in the arts and the aboli-
ton of the duty on sugar, coupled with
a bounty to American producers of
sugar equal to the present duty.

immigration Problems.

The movement for restricting immi-
grafton appears to be making slow
progress, though it is conceded by the
best elements of our population that
we have arrived at a point where our
national interests demand that some
stringent measure should be adopted.
However, the subject continues to re-
ceive thorough discussions; but the
principal difficulty is that there is no
satisfactory agreement in regard to the
method that would best accomplish the
object of the movement. In the an
dorer ReuieU DIR. E. w. Bemis urges
that immigration be limited by adj
hitting no single person over sixteen
and no man over that age who can not
read and write his own language. This
would cut off one-half the Italian,
Polish and Hungarian immigration,
and exclude more than fifty per cent
of the class that come here as unskilled
day-laborers. 1t is estimated that of
the Italian immigration sixty per cent
and of the Hungarian eighty-six per
cent is unskilled labor, while the pro-
portion from Scotland of unskilled
labor is only twentyseven per cent,
from Germany thirty-six per cent, from
England forty-four per cent and from
Ireland fifty-fve per cent.
This presents but one phase of the
question. There is no inconsiderable
number of other undesirable immi-
grants, made up of beggars, paupers,
insane, idiots, criminals, anarchists and
socialists. While there are some who
would prohibit further immigration
altogether, we hold that there is still
room enough in this country for all in
telligent, industrious foreigners who
propose to become citizens and make
desirable accessions to our population.
Any other class of foreigners is not
wanted and should be kept out. The
only practicable measure thus far pro-
posed to this end appears to be en-
bodied in Senator Palmer's bill, which
is not directed against wholesome i'm
migration, but only aims to exclude
persons from our shores and from the
protection of our laws who belong to
the Objectionable classes we have
named. The bill proposes that an
immigrant to this country shall first
pass through the hands of the United
States consul in the country of his resi-
dence, and shall be passed upon by the
consul as if he were an invoice. The
consul must certify that he is a fit and
proper person, and upon landing the
immigrant must pay head money. We
are not sure but it would be wise and
practicable to include the unskilled and
illiterate immigrants in the prohibited
classes, as urged by DR.. Bemis, for we
do not believe that more of this class
are wanted for the development of our
resources. We have too many of the
ignorant classes of our own population
and do not require any additions from
abroad. There are scores of thousands
coming from beyond the sea every
year who can never make safe citizens
because they are hopelessly ignorant
and degraded. This kind of immigra.
ton imperils the welfare of millions Of
laborers already here and largely in,
creases the chances of social discord
