the supreme authority, is the all-sufi-
cient guarantee of the money value.
There is no necessity for reinforcing
that value with any inferior value that
may attach to the material on which
the money stamp is placed The money
function is immeasurably the most i'm
portant that can be conferred by society
upon any material, and it is absurd to
urge that that function is not of itself
sufficient for the maintenance of the
value of money. All the value that
money can possibly have-the totality
of value that can exist in the shape of
money in any crountry-will attach to
anything upon which the sovereign au-
thoritv stamps it whether the material
on which the stamp is placed be gold,
silver, paper or anything else. Leg
islators or executive officers of
the government by increasing or de-
creasing the volume of money, corre-
spondingly decrease or increase the
value of each unit of that money. For
no matter how many or how few the
units may be. the total value of the
money of the country will be comprised
within the total number Of those units.
A change in the number of the units
effects . proportionate change in the
value of each unit, and whatever the
value of the unit may be. it is of the
utmost importance that that value
should remain undisturbed
1t is absurd to maintain that q gold
unit, which, rs time goes on, Is con-
stantly increasing in purchasing power,
is better unit than . unit Of any other
material that maintains unchanging
value through time.
Whenever the business Of the country
accommodates itself to given number
Of units. the only question for the gov
ernment to deal with is to maintain
that value n free from disturbance rs
possible; and according to all authori-
ties ON political economy that can only
be done BY increasing or decreasing
the number of units in circulation in

If Mr. McAdOo has noticed tendency
in the immigration stream to swell in
1891, he can safely set it down as an un-
need not be disturbed by the fact that
nine months of the present year showed
a total of 1862 immigrants. against
254, 40S in the same period last year.
The number for 1890 was small as COM
pared with former years-about fifty
eight per cent. of the number for 1882,
for instance-although our larger pop
ulation should enable us to assimilate a
proportionally larger number. 1t is not
at all probable that the total for this
year will even approach the figures for
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 it, unless
shut ont 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 q bushel of barley, rye or
wheat, nor . pound Of beef, nor -four,
nor an ounce of pork in any form to the

Last year the amount so spent was

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. ="

When the tariff Of 1S46, cutting down
the duty ON pig iron from % per ton to
80 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 af-
fairs, are fond of asserting that we

great change from wood to iron as a
shipbuilding material occurred about
this time. But if they will read an ar

ers on the Delaware, Reaney & Neafie.
now Neafie & Levy, of Philadelphia,
and Harlan & Hollingsworth, of VIII
mington, commenced building iron ships
in 1874.
When . man il sick al sorts Of nos

given for our not building iron ships by
those equally ignorant The true rear

control our supply Of iron 1t has been

The following call will explain itself.
We hope there will be a large rally Of
citizens irrespective of politics. South
crn men of every state recognize and
acknowledge that protection is indis-
pensable to their growth and prosper
ity. Fully three-fourths of southern
democrats favor a protective tariff, and
we believe the day is not far distant
when they will all vote as they work.

In the Forum for June the Hon. VIII
liam McAdoo. of New Jersey, discusses
immigration and the tariff. His view
! Is that /. very high or substantially pro
hibitory tariff in tho United States Is
bound to force an immigration which Is
ininical to American labor and con-
trary to the best interests Of the whole
country.
There never was, Is not now, and
never will be, any reason for Europeans
to migrate to the United States. except
desire to better their condition. 1t
was news from across the seas Of plenty
of work and wages in America which
started the streams Of emigration to
these shores The thousands of foreign
workers who are landing now come, as
their predecessors came, because they
can get more pay and more food for
their days labor than could be had at
home. Aside from legislative restric-
tions there is but one way to dam the
inhowing stream: Depress the stand
ard Of American wages and living, and
beget among our working people the
degradation and hopelessness that is the
lot of the European peasant, and You
will be bothered no longer with unde-
sirable immigrants. But just SO long
as we continue to prosper, and NO legis-
lative barriers exist, starving humanity
will swarm to share in the bountiful
banquet which is the heritage Of the
American worl<ingman.
The statistics of immigration show
that every prosperous period in our his
tory was marked by rapidly swelling
stream of immigration, while the peri
DDS of commercial disaster and stagnant
industry invariably decreased its vol
ume. The earliest figures at hand on
immigration begin with 1921, year
within the period of depression which
began in 1917. We find. therefore, inn
migration falling off, as will appear
from the following table:
