POLK TALKS OF HIS TOUR.

He Says the Alliance Has Not Split on
the Sub-treasury Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-President Polk
of the farmers alliance has returned to
Washington from his southern tour, and
the Star this evening publishes a short in
terview with him. President Polk said the
alliance was not losing ground anywhere,
but was progressing beautifully. Ali
the talk about a split on account of
the sub-treasury idea, he said, was
absurd. What difference of opinion there
was, he said, was as to the form of the
measure and its details; there was no differ
ence of opinion as to the principle, and every
farmers aliianceman had the same object
in view. President Polk said he had been
quoted incorrectly as saying that the
great issue was the tariff and
free coinage, and that with
these issues the alliances would all rally
around the sub-tressury bill. Now" said
he, 1.-THE issue is not the tariff, free coinage
of silver, nor the sub,treasury bill. The is
sue IS reform of our entire financial system.
Neither the issuance of more money nor the
collection of less taxes will alone do the
people any good. The entire financial
system of the government must be changed
before anything else that may be done can
correct the existing evils.n

IMPORTED TIN PLATE WORK KRRs.
The Treasury Department Will allow
Them % Come In.

WASHINGTON, July ga stamping COM
pany Of st. Louis recently wrote to the
treasury department in regard to the i'm
portation Of skilled labor for their tin plate
mills, aud inquired if they must go through
any particular form to secure the importa-
tlon OF such laborers for such work. In
reply, Mr.. Owen, superintendent of immi-
grafton, wrote: THE contract labor law
was enacted to protect the wage-earners Of
this country. They were suffering from
lncursions OF laborers who had entered into
contract abroad and were imported here to
do work cheaper than was paid
to American workmen. Such immig rants
came with surety Of employment and dis
placed citizens, who must go IDLE or accept
the hire set by the newcomer. This i'm
ported contract labor, from dagos on the
railroad to glassblowers in Pennsylvania
came at reduced wages and lowered the en-
tire American scale of wages. The new
immigration law recognized the value OF the
existing contract labor law and made GER
tain valuable amendments to it. This de-
partment will labor earnestly to enforce
that law.
DON'T SHUT OUT NEW INDUSTRIES.
Congress did not intend by this action to
forbid new industries or to limit enterprise
to American skill, but expressly made
provision Tor the encouragement of new in
dustries and the importation Of new skill
The law plainly interds that skilled labor
may be imported into the United States to
do work in an industry not yet established,
provided skilled workman in that Industry
cannot be found among our own people
The discussion in connection with the recent
legislation disclosed the fact that the
manufacture OF tin plate is
not an established industry
in the United States, and that we have but
few laborers skilled in its manufacture.
Skilled tin plate workers may therefore be
imported into the United States at this
time under contracts made abroad to fill
employment. When the present conditions
change and the tin plate industry becomes
established or when there shall be found a
sufficient number Of skilled tin plate work
ers 10 carry on its manufacture with a
reasonable degree of business facility, then
the importation of such workmen will be in
violation Of the contract labor law"

SENT TO SIBERIA.

Fate of Naval Officer Who Sold
Plans Of the Defenses of Cronstadt.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 23.--It is reported
that in April last naval captain named
Schmidt had boen condemned and executed
in secret for selling plans of the defenses of
Cronstadt. 1t is now officially announced
that Schmidt has just been sentenced Co
banishment to Siberia. This leniency,
it is explained. is due to the fact that
the government had obtained proof
that Schmidt had fallen into the hands of a
few usurers. who induced him TO sell the
plans to Jew. This Jew, it is alleged, re-
tanned the bribe given by the foreign power,
which eventually obtained possession of the
plans, and then betrayed Schmidt for a re-
ward to the Russian government.
