Edgerton Index: The approach
of cholera to our shores accentuates
the necessity for more stringent
regulation of foreign immigration.
1t is urged by some that absolute
prohibition for time is justified.
No intelligent, patriotic, American
citizen can view the food Of unde-
sirable immigrants pouring in upon
our shores weekly without appre-
hension. Beyond doubt the most
threatening danger to American
institutions and prosperity at the
present, is from the influx of people
not calculated to assimilate with our
population, or appreciate our system
of government. If the approach of
pestilence serves to check this flow,
it will not be an unmixed evil.

A Deadly Blow At Labor.

The leaders Of the Democracy
are now as truly engaged in an
effort to overthrow the American
system of government, so far as 1t
relates to the encouragement and
protection Of labor, as was the
Southern Democracy while it was
attempting to destroy American
institutions.
The protective system has been
so long in operation in this country
that il may properly be regarded as
the American system. Under it the
nation has grown great, wealthy,
and prosperous. There is no land
under the sun where labor brings as
much comfort, and where laborers
have so many happy homes. Under
the most recent Encouragement of
the tariff, a Republican measure
from first TO last, these conditions Of
labor have been still further i'm
proved, prices are coming down,
wages areincreasing, and production
is multiplying in a most gratifying
degree. The Peck report proves
all this for the great State Of New
Noik by statistics which cannot be
disputed. What is true for the
first State in the Union, must be
true for all the rest.
This New York condition may be
called the first returns from the
working Of the Mckinley tariff.
And this testimony in its favor and
in its praise is Democratic testimony.
The business OF the country is
rapidly arranging itself under the
new conditions, ana it is found that
the promise Of full employment for
labor, at good wages, was never
before so good; that industrial
enterprises were never before so
rapidly developing; and that under
the reciprocity feature of the new
law the trade of the country is re-
ceiving such an impetus as has been
unknown for many years.
These conditions result from the
development Of .he American system
of promoting trade and manu-
featuring enterprises, and lifting
labor above the pauper level to the
happiest condition which it has
ever known in any land,
This is the system which the
Democratic leaders are united to
destroy In fact, they are crying
out that the destruction of this
system is their sole issue in the
present campaign.
TO replace its pleasant and solid
realities they offer laboring men,
commercial men, and the farming
interests of the country nothing but
theory--a theory of free trade.
This nation has become mighty and
prosperous beyond ANY other nation
under the protective system, being
the only frstc'ass power in the
world that is paying its way.
And the Democracy is attempting
to persuade labor to turn away from
the system which has produced this
condition, and adopt in its place a
system which in all other lands has
degraded labor and sunk it to the
level of pauperism. Do American
workmen desire to risk a chauge?
viii they vote to exchange the
certaiutiea of the present system
for hollow and deceitful theory?
