A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

Parnell has come to grief. Convicted of aristocratic immortality, he will no longer be the leader of the highly moral Irish middle class in movement which has merely in view the substitution of the economic and political despotism of that Irish class for the economic and political despotism of English lords and bourgeois. What the effect of his con- pulsOry retirement will be, no one can predict. But it would seem that an op- portunity is here given to the laboring people of Ireland to repudiate not only Parnell but his class movement. Will they improve it? If they do, the result cannot fail to be great advance in the direction of Socialism, not alone in Ire land, but in England and America. Where is the bold lrishman who, by simply standing upright, can earn for himself world wide and imperishable glory?

hopeful" tone.


 In another column we publish this interesting d9cument-interesting' not only because it seems to be the central ralying point of the Farmers move ment, but also because of its features, which are significant in no slight de- gree
 In the first place, the bill tacitly abandons the basic principle upon which the Greenback movement was to a great extent reared While, then, the incl dent that money was the creature of law was giver controlling prominence to an extent of denying, expressly and impIiedly, that labor crystalized in pro ducts was it's nee, ssary prerequisite, now, in the Sub-Treasury bill, this latter and controlling feature of money be- comes the corner stone of the proposed legislation. Farm products-cotton, corn, wheat, tobacco-are the basis of the currency that is to issue from the sub-treasuries. This marks progress lin experience, if not uid theory--in the ,ln, 4, ,f I,,,v | two steps toward the Socialist positon one away from Greenbackism and one toward deposing gold and silver coin generally, from the exclusive right of functioning as the universal commodity and only basis for the medium of ex change.
 Furthermore, the Sub-rreasury bill furnishes a flat denial of the claim that the farmer has become a gentle con. vertite" to free trade doctrines. The bill excludes from the privilege of de- posting in the sub-treasury stores or elevators, and of raising money there. upon, all farm products wholly or partly imported from abroad~-a clause that sufficiently indicates an indisposition to place the products of foreign labor owned and controlled by foreign or domestic capitalists, on a par with the products of home labor, which the farmers, in so far as agricultural pro ducts are concerned. and in so far as they are laborers, desire themselves to own and control.
 Lastly, the section providing for the destruction of all monies paid in at the Sub,Treasuries, in redemption of the products deposited there. will, in view of the fact that more will be paid in than paid out-the interest upon the loan, expenses of handling, etc, being added to the principal-have for its ultimate effect nothing more nor less than a complete revolution of the pres. ent financial system by slowly draining the banks tf their sap and substituting. in the place of them, the proposed Sub Treasures as the channels through which the currency will flow.

MARK THE CHANGE.

The immigration statistics of the United States for the last year are highly interesting. They show that a great change in the relative influx of nationa, lities is now taking place. The influx from Great Britain and Ireland was divided as follows: England and Wales, 57392; Scotland, l2,028; Ireland, 52 923; Germany sent during the last fiscal year 92, 2,4O9, a decrease from the preceding year of 7,0S2. The immigration from Sweden and Norway fell off from AS. .7l9 in the fiscal year 1889 to 40, S95 in the year Just closed The number of immi, grants from the Netherlands decreased from 6, ,460 to i, 326; that of Switzerland from 7,067 to 6,922. From Denmark there was slight increase, the figures being S,699 for 1889 and 9,342 for lS9O' France sent 6,5S4 last year, against 5,91S the year before. Of the countries showing marked increase the principal are: Austria Hungary, from 34, IA to 56, IFS; Italy from 24 946 to 5l, 7S9; Po- land, from 1 932 to Ii ,013, and Russia from 33, 904 to B, ,574. In the class first mentioned, the largest increase was from Hungary, the immigration from that part of the empire rising from 10, | 967 to 22, ,059.

 Mir. Raum divides these survivors into two classes-S31 ,0S9 subject to ordinary laws of mortality, and 4l5,000 subject, because of wounds and other disabilities, to a higher rate of mortality, equal to twelve years shortening of the expecta- ton of life.
 The grand total on the rolls at the end of June was 537 944. This is about one third of the whole number surviving from the War of the Rebellion when the widows and other dependents are added. That these are numerous and likely to increase, may be taken for granted from the fact that to the 399 ,083 prmy and navy invalid pensioners there are added lO6 9l6 widows, minor children and dependent relations already receiving pensions.
 The pension roll-in round numbers SlO1 100000 for this year-is growing at the rate of go, 100000 or $50 OOO 900 a year. The estimate for another year is $l5O OO0,00O, It is likeley to be actually $l75 000,O00, and to go on. under the Dependent Pension Act, to $250OO0, 900 and remain there for a decade.
