THERE is d great mistake, " remarks

a little less than a quarter of an inch,
and in East Oakland, where the shock
THAT of July 81 was heavier, it moved
about five-sixteenths of an inch. An

recommends the issue Of Treasury notes

bic on demand in such quantities Of silver
bullion as will equal i'll value, at the date OF
presentation, the number Of dollars expressed
on the face of the notes at the market price

1t would seem, he says, that one of the eff
fectiye means of preventing the immigration
of the prohibited classes would be to require
all Immigrants before embarkation to obtain
certificates of character and fitness from our
Consular offices abroad, under regulations TO
be prescribed by the Secretary of State.
He thinks the Alien Contract Labor law
has partially failed of its purpose because OF
certain inherent defects and the impracti-
