The mayor stated that he was the first
mayor under the new charter in 1878 and
that ever since then the department has
had an unwritten right to elect their "

no ordinance governing the election Of
the fire chief but the foremen of the COM
panies in 1885 agreed to give a complete
report OF the company together with the
expenditure of the allowance oi $40 per
month given to each company by the city.
Therefore, it was argued that the council
have some general control over the com

Iron Production and shipbuildine

When the tariff of 1916, cutting down
the duty on pig iron from 50 per ton to
30 per cent. ad valorem. was passed.
our production of pig iron was very
near that of Great Britain. That and
the reduction of duty to "a per cent. ad
valorem in 1857 held our production OF
pig iron virtually stationary until 1865.
At that time England was making four
tons, in round numbers, where we
made one.
Free traders, and some protectionists
who have a vague idea of industrial at
fairs, are fond of asserting that we
went out of shipbuilding because the
great change from wood to iron as
shipbuilding material occurred about
this time. But if they will read an ar
ticle by the distinguished engineer and
naval architect, Horace See. in the cur
rent number Of the Engineering Maya
zine, they will see that two shipbuild-
ers on the Delaware, Reaney & Neafie.
now Neafie & Levy, Of Philadelphia,
and Harlan & Hollingsworth, of Will
minyton. commenced building iron ships
in 1874.
When a man is sick all sorts of nos
trums are prescribed by those that
don't know. So all sorts of reasons are
given for our not building iron ships by
those equally ignorant. The true rea-
son is that England has taken pains to
control our supply of iroE- 1t has been
worth all it cost her.

If Mr.. McAdoo has noticed tendency
In the immigration stream to swell In
1891. he can safely set it down as an I'M
failing sign of increasing prosperity. he
need not be disturbed by the fact that
nine months of the present year showed
a total of 316.237 immigrants. against
254. 4O3 in the same period last year.
The number for 1890 was small as COM
pared with former years-about nifty
eight per cent. of the number for 1857,
for instance-although our larger pop
ulation should enable US to assimilate
proportionally larger number. 1t is not
at all probable that the total for this
year will even approach the figures Tor
1881, 1882 and 1883.
Our argument is neither for nor
against foreign immigration. Its bene-
fits may or may not be neutralized BY
the Objectionable features it has as
sumed in late years. But this we know:
That when prosperity comes increased
immigration will come with 1t, unless
shut GU. by legislative enactment
Mr.. McAdoo unfortunately neglected
to look up the facts before placing In
the mouth of his Austrian Immigrant
the statement that in his native land he
ate our wheat and pork" We sell al
most no food products to Austria. The
figures for last year show that we did
not send a bushel Of barley, rye OF
wheat, nor q pound Of beet, nor Hour;
nor an ounce of pork in any form to the
AustrianS The total OF all our exports
during the year to ia-Hungary
was only s945, 70s. The little island Of
San Domingo bought within $4,000 o.
that amount from us
We have been spending millions o
dollars every year for Austrian goods

Last year the amount 30 spent was
%, Ss1, 1873, and the Austrian pearl-but-
ton worker has been spending it with
other nations We bring his industry
over here and he follows it to teach our
own workers the art Of pearl-button
making. In New Jersey he will now be
sure to eat American wheat and pork "
This is how the American farmer Is bene-
flied. In Austria he lived on homegrown
rye. We have right 0exPect more care
and truth from an ex-co0gressman like

RECIPROCITY WITH BRAZIL

That reciprocity with Brazil can
benefit farmers is denied by free
traders. The manufacturer will alone

they say, and the abolition or reduction
in duties on agricultural products is
only a blind to the farmer, while the

advantage. Recent Investigations by
the department of agriculture show how
devoid of foundation in fact this theory
is. Taking rs the basis Of our caicula-
