Poverty.
[ American Economist.


The poor We have always with you is
an old Scripture verified by the experience
of ages. The Economist, especially in
these campaign days. is emphasizing the
cheering fact of our growth as a nation in
wealth. in the products of industry and
skill, in better wages, and in the general
welfare of the people. Is this blind OPP
timism2 Does it show a heartless forget
fulness of poverty? Surely not; for our
main aim is to advocate ii policy which
has helped. and will help, to
uplift the lowly and lessen the
pinching pains of the needy. The causes
of poverty are manifoId-ignorance, shift
iessness incompetence, and the wfui curse
of drunkenness, that great cause of crime
and despair, are among them. Able aud
good men and women are doing much, and
writing much, in journals devoted to these
matters, for the mitigation of these evils.
The tide of pauper and criminal and incom-
petcnt immigrants pouring into our land
swells the food of poverty. That
Ii ic must he checked, and the
Industrious and sclf-sustainng foreigner
competent to rise higher and help us all on
and up, should he welcomed. In the strong
feeling of the need of more stringent immi-
grafton laws our intelligent citizens OF
foreign birth are heartily with us. We
must not be a dumping ground for the
refuse of other countries. Their vicious
and helpless people, whom they are glad to
be rid of, must not be heartlessly flung over
our borders.
But to this and other pressing and impor-
tant questions we can give no large space.
Emerson wisely says, concentrate" Not
forgetful of other issues, it is wise to take
up some main question and make that the
central aim and inspiring purpose of jour
nal. The Economist, as its every page
shows, is devoted to the advocacy of pro-

lest anl most alluring manner an'l the spirit
which animates the young skaters on the
