The Restriction Of immigration.



The Democratic papers are now com
planning that the Mckinley law has closed
European factories and is forcing European
laborers to this country. Well, if we must
support European laborers we can do it
better in this country than in Europe. But
if the Democratic party is sincere why does
it not resolve or say that it is for restriction
of immigration. They dare not do it for in
all of the large cities their strength is
among the ignorant foreign elements, not
among educated foreigners. The Demo
cratic party wants to reduce wages in this
country so that there will be no in,lucement
for foreigners to come here to better their
condition; the Republican party wants to
maintain the good conditions that now exist
here and allow no one TO come here to enjoy
them who is not worthy of them. That is,
it believes that the next step in protection,
is not the repeal of tariffs, but the enact
ment of laws limiting immigration. Will
the Democratic papers dare to say as much !

More Democratic FaIsehoods.

The Democratic national committee is
reylying the talsehood that was 50 indus
triously circulated in isss. and again in
1870, concerning the price of American
farming implements here and abroad. The
allegation i. that American manufacturers
of agricultural machines, protected by a
high tariff. are selling those machines in
the European market lower than in the
American market; or. in other words, that
the tariff Is enabling them to cheat their
American customers full invcsti-
cation made by the New York Tribune has
prove this to be an unqualified falsehood.
That journal obtained and published com
paratiye price list of all the agricultural
implements made in this country rs they
are sold here and us they are sold in Lon
Ion and Paris, and the difference was
proved to he Just about the equivalent of
higher abroad in just about the sum equiv
alent to the expense of getting the goods
over there. The Democrats make up their
statement of prices by quoting as the Amer
lean price the American retail price. and as
the foreign price the American wholesale
price. They perpetrate a further fraud by
comparing old-fashiOned goods, which will
not sell in America at all, with new goods
which have taken their place in the Ameri-
can market II is true that there are many
American agricultural implements, the sur
plus of a stock no longer sslible here which
ART sent abroad AMI sold Ia European farmers
at almost any price that can he got for them.
Their place in the American market has
been taken by an improved machine. to
which new devices have been added so val
liable AMI so well-known to the American
farmer as TO render the remnant of the
old styie stock Il dead loss to the American
manufacturer. unless he can find sale for
it among farmers less accustomed to fine
machinery than those of this country.

We heard queer little story the other
day A young lady who had travelled in
Finland. and who had dear friend there,
asked out of curiosity, in letter which
she wrote to her friend last summer, what
the Finnish girls were wearing and received
an answer to this effect The girls in
Finland have a very pretty costume this
year. 1t consists of blue serge skirt
aud blazer, Il silk shirt and broad brimmed
sailor hat. Many many girls wear this
costume; see them in it, passing in front
of the house. as | write" The American
girl smiled What commentary

Washington and the colony of British Co

were wearing the same blue suits and sailor
hats that the girls in lIelsingfors and st.
Petersburg were; and when they got out of
a ear probably they smoothed them down
at the small of the back with the back of
one hand in exactly the same way. That
movement, by the way, is the most univer
al and characteristic gesture of the woman
of the present day: 1t is much more habit
ual even than sitting on the foot, or putting
both hands at the back of the head to see
if the hair is coming down.
