the best thing for Europe, it was rather
doubtful whether IL was benefit TO TINS
country, and common sense should en-
dorse the American people 10 keep out all
those who would not benefit this country,
and who were brought here under false
representation by railroad ana other
coporations. The concentration OF i'm
migrants in the West would induce
the m TO start governments OF their own,
and in the near future the West wonld In
hat manner become more powerful than
he East
THE OTHER SIDE.
The advocates Of the negative side OF
the question took the ground that II was
against the laws of nations TO favor leg
islation Of that character. The United
states still contained vast area OF un-
improved lands, and Congress would not
dare 10 interfere with immigration,
which was badly needed for the develop
ment Of this country. After reference
of the benefits derived from the Emigra
lion Commission of the State OF New
York. which had been created 10 protect
immigrants at their arrival In this cOun-
try, il was shown that each able-bodied
immigrant represented an increase OF at
leasi $500 of the value Of this country,
and In this manner, in 1873 alone, over
three hundred millions had been added
10 the national wealth OF the United
States. The immigrants were class OF
hard working, economical people, who

predominant in their native country.
They were certainly benefit to coun-
lry which was still In its IN
fancy. What America was today
it owed to the tide of immigration which
should be sustained, for there were still
millions of acres OF land lying unculti-
vated and not bringing forth one dollar,
while they were taxed for the support oi
The nation. immigration should not be
limited 10 certain classes or nations. The
Chinese, as a nation, should not be pro-
bibited from coming TO this country, for
they were a law.abiding people. The
Germans were industrious. and when they
accumulated wealth they did not carry II
back 10 the old country, but they invested
il here i'm real estate To the good OF the
country. Communism and anarchism
were not brought on by immigralian, Bat
by the crushing powers of the monopo.
lists. This country was an agricultural
one. and only waiting for the harvest to
he sowa by Immigrants. That the latter
would make good law-abiding citizens
was plainly visible from their eager de-
sire TO lake the oath of allegiance soon
after their arrival.
The debate was very aitentively listened
10. and the participants and their friends
seemed to be very much pleased with the
entertainment.

casonally see in the papers some one

is free of prisoners. We claim this to be
the banner county of the State in this

from January /, 1897, TO this date,
amounts TO $2l.05 Let the other coun
ties show up, and they are permitted TO

this county has cost the State less In the
way of criminal charges than any other
in The State, and will prove it.
