In his message to Congress on the
Chinese restriction bill, Mr. Cleveland
generalizes in the following clear headed
fashion:
"The admitted and paramount right
and duty of every government to exclude
from its borders all elements of foreign
population which, for any reason, retard
its prosperity or are detrimental TO the
moral and physical health of Its people
must be regarded as a recognized canon
OF international law and Intercourse.
The subject has been a booming one
for sometime.

The Output OF Our Mines

Il IS a very imposing showing that the
bureau Of mining statistics makes in its
report Of the production of metals in the
United States for 1887. The aggregate
value Of the output Of our mines is set
down at $j3s,056, 34j-Ggures whose
significance can only be fully grasped by
comparing them with values in other de-
pGrtments OF production. 1t is difficult
10 estimate the amount Of labor that
went TO the making Of this enormous
total The census of 1880 ranked as
miners some 234, 2sS persons. not includ-
ing 1910 oil well operators, and not
counting at all those engaged in the care
OF mining machinery. 1t would prob
ably De safe TO put at 350, 600 the uumber
Of those who are row directly engaged
in all departments II mining industry.
and such calculation may az least serve
as a basis for determining the productive
value Of the army Of lcborers thus en-
ployed. 1.-The Epoch.
