A Wonderful Worker.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, a young man OF
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had been
under the care of two prominent physi-
clans, and used their treatment until he
was not able to get around. They pro-
nounced his case to be consumption and
incurable. He was persuaded to try DR..
Kings New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds, and at that time was
not able to walk across the street without
resting. He found, before he had used a
half of a dollar bottle, that he was much
better; he continued to use it and is today
enjoying good health. If you have any

THE PROBLEM PRESENTED BY THE
BARON DE HIRScH FUND.

The Situation Becoming More and More
Complicated and Troublesome Some
Reference to the Laws Restricting I'm
mIEratIon-The Chinese.
In my humble judgment there has no
been up for the consideration of Ameri-
can economists during the past ten years
a question of SO much Importance as that
growing out of the assistance to Russian
Jews which is now being given and is
contemplated by the Baron de Hirsch
fund and kindred organizations. Casual
Observers and superficial thinkers will
say ! greatly overestimate the serious
ness Of the case; but careful students
~tunionists and many who are not wage
workers. especially in New York city,
agree with me. 1t is not only a hard
matter for the humanitarian, reared
among American institutions, to make
up his mind on the subject, but it is diff
bcult to determine what are the duties
of officials of the government in the
premises. There is a conflict between the
spirit and traditions of our country and
the material interests of a large and i'm
portant number Of our citizens. We are
proud that the United States has al
ways been recognized as ian asylum for
the oppressed of all lands;" but we have
shown. through the enactment of immi-
grafton laws, that economic necessities
sometimes outweigh ~brotherly senti-

In the letter referred to, Judge Dillon
says;
would As soon shut my door against a bo-
nightod wanderer seeking refuge from the
merciless blizzard AS to shut our national ports
against those OF your people who, stricken like
wild beasts, are driven here In the stress OF the
raging storm which threatens their destruo-
ton Lot us receive them with welcome and
with hospitality. Let us show to the nations
Of the world that there In at least one spot on
Gods earth where these unfortunate exiles
may rest their tired feet SGT up again their
household gods, reconstruct their ruined
homes and worship In peace the God of their
fathers
Ahi but, Judge Dillon, we nave shut
our ports against those who turned to us
in distress, believing in our claim that
here was the lone spot On Gods earth"
1t is true they were not backed by such
distinguished patronage as the Jews are
80 fortunate as to lave at this time, but
does the fact that one man comes in a
large company and strongly backed by
wealthy. sympathetic individuals, while
another Is entirely without means or
friends, entitle the former to an applica-
ton Of our high sounding ~brotherly SEN
timents while the latter finds the door
shut in his face?

Let 1t be clearly understood that / am
not prejudiced on this question because
the Russian immigrants are Jews. Race
and religion do not enter into the consid-
GRAFTON. In fact, these people are more
entitled to sympathy and assistance be-
cause the cars government is persecut-
ing them on account of race and religious
prejudicea My heart echoes the senti-
ments expressed by Judge Dillon in a re-
cent lettor to Jesse Seligman, but when
one remembers-as any thoughtful New
Yorker is compelled to do-the hardships

1t is rather humiliating to the Amer
lean, once proud of the rightful claim
that ''here is the spot" to have to ad-
init the necessity Of laws prohibiting the
admission of certain applicants for an
asylum and searchers for work under
certain conditions. There is something
wrong or this once proud citizen would
now be spared the blush. 1t is signif-
cant when the New York Sun, which is
not an official trades union organ, closes
a carefully prepared editorial with these
words, ''The Jewish Colonization as
ISOLATION has gone into q very doubtful
business, 80 far as this country is con-
cerned." The Sun indorses the position
