In the course of some lamentations
over our reciprocity treaty with Brazil
The Colliery Guardian, after saying ''up
till now the United States, on account
of their not producing more than met
home requirements, have not done much
in the way of competing makes the
following rather interesting admission:
England has had the lions share of
the business, but the treaty which the
United States has entered into with
Brazil In pursuance Of the policy named
above threatens to place our manufac-
turers at great disadvantage when
competing for Brazilian business, which
is. very valuable to us, and has been built
up at great cost to and with much perse-
verance by our merchants"
It might be thought from the express
sion we have italicized that England has
been disregarding the precepts of sound
political economy and paying more for
its trade with Brazil than 1t was getting

Many Democratic papers have placed
in double leads at the head of their edi-
torial columns that well known sentence
in Mr.. Blaines' letter in which he criti-
cises the original draft of'the Mckinley
Bill, by saying that it did not increase
the market for single bushel of Ameri.
can wheat nor single barrel of American
pork. That sentence as much as any
other agency led to the incorporation OF
the reciprocity scheme into the bill, and
made it the great widener of the Ameri-
can farmers market as well as the
strengthener of his market at home.
The Haunted quotation from Blaine's
letter has no force and makes no point
at all against the Mckinley law.

The slaughter OF the entire family OF a
West Virginia farmer last Saturday by
band of Italian railroad workmen, to-
gether with the many other brutal and
inhuman crimes by which the public
has been SO frequently shocked within
the last few months, calls attention to
the growing evils Of our emigration sys.
TEN. 1t is a matter of observation that
large proportion of these atrocities are
committed among the emigrant Poles,
Hungarians and Italians. 1t seems to
be impossible for the people of the Latin
and Sclavic races to adapt themselves TO
American ideas or assimilate themselves
to American society. What we are ac.
customed to call modern civilization is
in reality the product o: the Anglo.Sax.
on and Germanic races. Individuals OF
other nationalities may become Ameri-
canized by contact, but wherever these
tribes from Southern and Eastern Eu.
rope accumulate in sufficient numbers to
be able to maintain their own social or.
ganization, they constitute an element
that if not turbulent is at least inimical
to American ideas Of life. The frequent
recurrence of these horrible inhumani
ties marks the difference between the
Teutonic and Latin races. even in the
lowest and most desperate mining com.
munities, and it points out the fact that
the mild restrictive measures we have
adopted do not 60 to the root Of the mat
ter. Thanks to the Malta there is hardly
subject on which public opinion is de-
veloping SO rapidly and arriving at such
uniform conclusions. The American
people have been slow to awaken to the
dangers which menace The government
from immigration. During the period
in which the incoming tide was com.
posed of Irish, Scotch Germans and
Scandinavians, immigration was cause
of healthy growth. Within the last few
years the principal volume of our foreign
acquisitions to our populations have come
from the tribes along the Mediterranean
and the Danube, and these furnish an
element which it is almost impossible to
healthfully absorb. What has been the
source of our greatness is now the
threatening cause OF decay. We have
already enough discordant nationalties
in our society, and no party or admins
tration can too quickly seize the occasion
and enact a preventive measure of heroic
stringency. It is the almost universal
voice of Americans that we do not want
those people here.

The time of year has arrived when
candidates begin to declare themselves,
and now is the time when every Repub-
Kcan has duty of most serious import
anoe to perform. The fight which the
party has before it this fall is acknowl-
edged to be the most inomentous and
iar-reaching one in its consequences of
any that it has passed through for many
years. The doctrine of Protection which
= admitted to- hinge in large degree
upon the event of the coming election in
Ohio is at-stake. Another reason which
makes the situstion important is that an
unknown element has entered into the
politics OF the State in the form of q
third party. The claim of the leaders of
this movement is that it will draw large
" from the Republican ranks. The re-
suit Of last years election showed that
Q large number Of men are wearing the
ties of political affiliation more loosely
than formerly, and we are warned that
very slight offenses will be sufficient to
drive the waverers TO seek new connec-
Hons. We believe that tie Republican
pa-ty i, right in the principles it advo.

ates and the measures it has adopted,
but it is essential also that the personal
elements that enter into the campaign
shall be Of such kind as shall be help
and not a hindrance to the cause. The
Republicans of Highland county cannot
afford to imperil the prospects of the
party by burdening their ticket with
names that they cannot freely and unre-
servedly defend against attack. A full
expression Of the choice of the Republi.
cans at the primaries will result in the
nomination of men who can command
the party's support. To neglect the pri-
mary is to leave the choice OF candidates
to small number who may or may not
reflect the opinion OF the majority. Hon.
esty, ability, and an unassailable record
as man and citizen are the first reQui-
sites OF a candidate before he can ask the
suffrages of Highland county voters. Let
these be carefully considered by Repub-
licans in making up their delegations to
the county convention, that the ticket
may be the best, the cleanest and the
strongest, and one upon which all Re.
publicans can unite.

The Daily Harvest Upon the etseet-C Car
Lines Of q Great Cifv.

The Daily Harvest Upon the o&seet-C
Lines Of . Great CRY.
Almost fifty thousand nickels arc
daily handed over to the streetcar con-
ductors Of Philadelphia by as many
passengers, says the Record of that
city. Of course the traction company
gets the bulk OF these five-cent pieces,
and the peoples line is second in the
number of half dimes, the pockets of its
conductors needing repairs every few
days.
The gathering and return to circu1a-
ton Of tho coins paid for fares is an
interesting and quick process, for to-
day you might have q nickel that yes
terday you paid for conveyance. All
day long brace of counters is kept
busy in the various street-car depots
counting and examining thousands Of
coins. They are then loaded In wagons
and sent to the Office Of the sub
treasury, in the rear OF the custom
house building. These teams make q
line on Library street every morning,
and it takes no little time to carry the
bags into the subtreasury. Detectives
accompany these wagons from the
depots and wait till the coin Is safely
stored.
The traction company takes In on an
average sixteen thousand nickel pieces
day, but there are special occasions
when this figure is counted small
days receipts. The Peoples railway
gets from three to five hundred dollars
in five-cent pieces; other railways get
nickels in proportion to the traffic they
carry. A days receipts, strange to say,
often include a greater number Of
dimes than the half coin which repre-
sents one fare. The dime savings
banks, by the way. have considerably
lesscned the number of tcn-cent pieces
in the subtreasury's receipts Barrels
of pennies must also be gotten rid Of,
but big money is rather scarce.
When the subtrcasury receives the
thousands of nickels they are examined
and counted in q jiffy in this way: They
arc placed on q board that contains
twenty-five grooves in which are brass
Stats. Tho coins are laid in hne be-
tween the stats, the capacity Of the
board being fifty dollars. Other
coins are numbered in the same way,
and the four ladies who do the work
count thousands of dollars in short
time. Then comes the return to circu-
lation. Continually Capt. Walters gets
acquisitions from banks, stores and
factories in this city and surrounding
states for thousands of dollars in
nickels. These houses need the coins
for customers, the latter exchange them
to other people, and eventually the
coins get back to the strect-car COM
panies and TO the subtreasury.
