Colonel Howard Vincent, who ha,
been reelected to a seat in tho house
of commons, has letter in the London
Times explaining the causes which led to
his election. The issue which gave him
the victory, according to this letter, was
protection. Great Britain is tired cf free
trade, says Mr.. Vincent, and the lesson
of protection in the United States, under
which system "tho cost of living is less
and wages n per cent. higher than in
Great Britain" has made the English
sick of Cobdenite theories. Wages n
per cent. higher and cost of living actu
ally lower than in England. just think
of it'll It's enough to make Golden,
Bright and Adam Smith turn over in
their graves, to say nothing of the pc
culiarly sad visions it must conjure up
to the eyes of American Cobdenites.

WHY DO THEY cOMEf
Certainly Not Because They VIII Get
Smaller Wages.

Certainly Not Because They VIII Get
Smaller Wages.
Thousands of immigrants come to the
United States every year.
Why do you think they come here2
In order to earn starvation wages, to be
deprived Of their earnings by "tariff
monopolists," to be taxed for the benefit
of the "robber barons:"
No; they come here because experience
at home, under the slavery of the Euro
pean wage system, has taught them that
only in this country of high wages and
prosperity, of contentment and protec-
ton, is the laborer worthy Of his hire.
Only in this land of "taxes" has he
an adequate scope for the exercise Of
the faculties with which nature has
blessed him; only here can he own his
own home, furnish it in comfort and
educate his children to be good and
patriotic citizens.
immigration is thus the best possible
tribute to the benefits of protection, a
mute but eloquent index of American
progress under the American system.
Immigrants did not flock here in free
trade periods. They remained in their
own countries, because the paupeT
standard of wages which free trade en-
tails was not sufficiently strong in.
ducement to bring them here. Pauper
wages can be earned just as well at
home as abroad.
But when protection again triumphed,
when our mills and factories again
hummed with life and action, when
plenty again blessed the land, then the
masses of Europe again knocked at our
doors and asked us to share with them
our abundance.
immigration we do not advocate. Re-
strict it if you please, prohibit it if you
can. But never lose sight of the fact
that immigration would not trouble us
j. we were poor. ..."
When free trade begins the gates of
Castle Garden will swing outward in
stead Of inward. Under that system
immigration stops. Emigration takes
its place.

THE PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.

He May Issue Proclamation Tenn
Porarily Suspending immigration.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The president
Is taking an active part i'll the fight
against cholera, and is in constant and
direct communication with the national
authorities at Washington. Secretary
Foster has made public the following
telegram received by him on Saturday
from the president: "It is an outrage
that the steamship companies continue
20 bring immigrants from infected ports.
Bay to them that it should stop or it is
certain that every ship will bring the
disease, and we may be compelled to
turn back pest laden vessels"
"This dispatch" said Secretary Foster,
s'was given to Collector Hendricks, with
Instructions TO send copies to tho agents
Bf the steamship companies. One of the
difficulties that the steamship companies
encounter is the fact that large per-
centage of the people now coming over
are American citizens. OF course our
duty is Just as solemn and binding to the
poorest steerage passenger who is an
American citizen as it is towards the
richest cabin passenger. | think that
most of the steamship companies are
now refusing to bring immigrants to
this country, and trust those who are
persisting will desist."
AS intimated in dispatches from Loon
Lake the president is investigating the
laws regulating immigration, with a
result of the inquiry will probably DO
made known in day or two. If it is
feasible there may be issued a proclama
Gon covering the case

General Flagler had nm audience with
Secretary Foster, in which they renewed
their protest against taking possession of

Secretary Foster made several vigorous
and characteristic remarks and tho in
