Immlgration Docs Not Improve.

Quite al interesting and instructive re-
port from Dr.. J. Warren Achorn is printed
IN a recent number OF the Medical Record
concerning the class Of Immigrants who are
now croEding into this country at the aver
age rate OF about 900 a month.
According 10 the doctors close examina-
ton the GOO people in the Storage consti-
tuting that shipload of immigrants lacked
almost every quality necessary TO make
desirable citizens. Apparently they were
not sound either in mind, body or estate"
Medical examination showed that major
ity OF them were fit subjects for
treatment in sequestered hospital.
They were found to be in various stages of
debility from the effects Of different varieties
of hereditary and 10 re or less contagious
and loathsome disorders that wholly unfit
ted them for citizenship anywhere. Yet
they were allowed to pass the customs in
specsors and alleged health officers merely
because they carried big red vaccination
cards. Such a symbol of perfunctorilY
formal compliance with single regulation
appears to be really all that is required.
Among these ignorant immigrants the

pies who could not possibly be metamor-
phosed into self-sustaining TO say nothing Of
creditably independent citizans. Still they
could actually stand up long enough to be
counted. SO they were admitted to the
full freedom of the country.
Native intelligence and morality were
clearly not taken into account at all if the
doctors evidence is of any value. For he tells
of an old ogress who had with her six or
eight Hungarian girls palpably taking
them for commercial purposes to the coal
mining camps of Pennsylvania. But he
! adds tat this nefarlous traffic is a regular
business with that woman. Furthermore
! he states that the whole crowd was individ-
ually and collectively of a very low intel
! lectual or Ter.
Accessions Of disease, ignorance. mendi-
cents, stupidity aud vice are not exactly the
| qualities desired IN newly acquired citizens.
! Therefore every future immigrant should
be required to produce an official certificate
OF good character from his former place of
residence as we'll as clear bill of normal
! health before being allowed to land. In
that way only can we properly protect our
selves against all manner of accommodating
disorders and cease to be the stock subject
| Of international ridcule.

Philadelphia has just been holiing a
great conclave of bicyclists. They met at
night for street parade. North Broad street

unique brilliauce the display ex-

Of one club wore Continental costumes and
another the Chinese garb. while still another
wore the mortarboard and gown OF students.

The times that try mems souls are
here once more. The descendants OF the
British tories of 1776, and other European
and American capitalists have bound our
country with chains more CALLING and
more dangerous than any political bonds
that oppressed the colonies, because they
are more subtle and corrupting In their
influences.
The declaration of Independence from
the arrogance of British politicians must
be supplemented by declaration OF in
dependence from the frightful power OF
concentrated wealth.
The political independence which the
fathers of the country secured through
seven years of bloody war, is but a shall
low sham unless our country can secure
industrial independence.
The subtle power of money to oppress
is greater than the ephemeral power OF
the willy politician. The tyrants OF mod
ern civilization do not bind their subjects
with bonds of blood and iron as did the
conquerors of the past--their weapon is
corruption, forged by duplicity, and riv-
tied by ignorance.
The warriors of old, who sailed forth
to prey upon their fellow men, to subju-
gate and exact tribute from them, did 1t
like men and heroes, knowing that in
case of failure their lives would pay the
forfeit. To be robber knight Of mod
ern civilization requires neither courage
nor heroism. Under our present system
the most cOnscienceless schemer, the
most unscrupulous corruptionist wields
the greatest power and levieS the most
enormous tribute.
The British nobility tyrannized over
the American colonies and exacted taxa
tion without representation, but the
American people recognized the danger,
because their defiance of the liberties OF
the colonies was so open and undisguiSed
that all could see it.
The fact that our country is to-day an
abjectly tributary province of British
and other foreign oligarchs Is known and
recognized by only few, because the
system that brought 1t about has been
covered up by subsidized or Ignorant
newspapers and politicians until but two
remedies are left-the ballot or the bull
let. We consider violence in settling dis
putes as unworthy Of civilized nation,
and for this reason we have organized a
party of the people to overthrow once
more the tyrants who have and are con
tinuing to rob US of that to which they
have no moral right
The railroads of our country are capi-
talized at $9,OO0,OOOOOO, and it is well
known fact the great majority of the
stock is held by people in England and
other foreign countries, who have no
more interest in the United States than
the vampire has in his victim. Foreign
capitalists own many Of our mines, elevs-
tors, irrigation systems and other prop
erty, and probably billions of acres OF
our lands -one foreign combination
alone, the Willard syndicate, controlling
land grant of $4,000 square miles, two
and third times as much as is contained
in all Ireland. At reasonable estimate
foreign capitalists have invested $10,-

ductive capital could never draw
greater increase than 2 per cent the
money now exacted as unjust usury
would remain In the hands OF the pro-
ducers, and the foreign capitalists being
unable TO compete with the people rep
resented In the government would be
driven from the country, and industrial
independence thus secure /. The silly
charge that 1t would be improper for the
government TO loan money TO It's mem
bers ia refuted by existing facts The
reports OF the secretary Of the treasury
show that the government has now on de-
posit In favored banks over $25,000,OO0
without interest; that il loans national
bankers nearly s2O0O0OOOO (at one time
nearly S4OO,OOO,OOO) at an interest rate
called a tax Of per cent; that it has
loaned the Pacific railroads $64,0O0,O00
which has now reached nearly $780,
100000, and that many Senators and
Congressman who denounce loans to the
people, favor the proposition to guaran-
tee $1OOOOO,0OO bonds Of the Nicaragua
Canal Company at per cent. for 100
years, aggregating $400,OOO,OOO not count
ing compound interest. 1t does not
occur to some people that the govern
ment, II 1t ls to furnish the means to
build railroads, canals and other improve
ments should own them, and that If 10
loans money TO mllllonaires 1t might do
the same thing for the rest of It's citizens
ON better security and at higher rate Of
interest.
But while the Peoples party con-
siders an improvement of our monetary
system the most pressing reform, it will
not cOnfine itself to that alone, any more
than it will try to lift up one class Of
citizens at the expense of another. tide
mands equal and exact justice to all, even
to the predatory classes.
r UnscrupulOus capitalists have OPP
pressed the wage workers and they de-
serve not only the sympathy but the
active cooperation Of all humanitarians
} in their struggles against the encroach-
ments Of the gigantic combinations that
treat them as chattels and grind unneces-
sary wealth out Of their excessive toll.
Our telegraph lines, now controlled by
designing stock gamblers who manip-
ulate the news for purposes Of specula-
tlon, should be owned and controlled by
the people and In the interest Of the
people as is the postal system.
The Peoples party does not intend to
stop at the reforms proposed in Its plat
form. A progressive organization can
not stand still. The "loglc of events"
will cause It to advance with the times.
And as public opinion is educated In the
far reaching reform measures now agl-
tating the country the Peoples party, as
the means to bring them to practical
fruition will march on to that victory,
which is impertaively necessary to secure
once more that freedom OF action and In
dependence from dlctation and tribute
that Is the heritage of every human
being.
In the name Of liberty for which the
fathers Of the republic pledged their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred

the people. The advocates Of corporate
extortion claim that without the aid OF
land grants and other assistance the rail-
roads would not have been built and the
desert made to blossom as the rose. This
may be true, but if the people furnished
the means to build the roads the people
should own them.
The mOnstrous burden of debt resting
upon our people iS made clear by the
farm mortgage statistics, which so far,
for reasons unknown, have only been
furnished for Iowa and Alabama. In
Iowa they aggregate about $19S,OOO,OOO,
not counting those recorded previous to
1SSO-equal to $104 per capita, or count
ing five to a family $500 to every family
in the state. Adding other real estate
mortgages would double this sum; and
all other debts public, private and cor
porste, would certainly increase 1t six II
not eight fold. AS all debts, taxes, divi-
dends, interest and other increase must
be paid by productive labor the burden
falling on the producing classes is almost
incredible. Is it wonder that In our
new country $4,000 families own over
half of all the wealth, and that one-sixth
of our wealth is owned by foreign money
kings? Are we not rapidly approaching
the condition OF the tenant farmers OF
ireland, who are impoverished by the
rents paid to absentee landlords, as our
country is being drained not only through
rents, but dividends, interest and money
paid for the purchase of our own lands to
absentee bond and stockholders? How
long will it be at this rate until our
farmers are the tenants of absentee
landlords, and most of our people are de-
graded to the level Of serfs to concen.
trated wealth?
