Regulating Immigration.

France has found it necessary to regu-
late immigration. By bill just passed
every foreigner who settles in France,
including artists who go there to exer-
else their trade or profession permanent
ly, must obtain a permit from the au-
thorities of the city or town where they
settle. Foreigners already settled in
France must within a month take out
permit. Provision is made for the ex-
pulsion of aliens who fail to register and
for the punishment of those who employ
uncertifed aliens.
There is no great hardship in this act,
nor will it's enforcement tend to reduce
the foreign element in France engaged
in honest labor, unless the authorities
shall, at the demand Of native workmen,
refuse to issue permits, as seems to be in
tended. The reason for the movement
against foreigners is their great increase
in numbers in recent years and the fact
that they are exempt from the conscrip-
ton to which Frenchmen are subject.
Another grievance is that they send out
of France every year surplus earnings es-
timated to amount to $50, O00,0O tits es-
timated that there are about 900. 900 alien
residents of France, one-haif being Bel
gians and the remainder chiefly Italians

CHESTER, July "a, '93.
HON. I. DONNELLY:
AS you are again associated with a
paper which advocates the cause Of
the masses against the plutOcratS,
who own the most of the newspa-
pers, are in possession of the state
and national governments, and who
aim to make our condition still worse
by demon etizing and repudiating sill
yer, which, if given free coinage,
would soon relieve the Industrial
class from the usury and extortion
practiced upon them by the monied
class to the extent of absorbing about
all their profits, except very mea-
gre living, therefore, to aid in the
righteous warfare, enclose an ex-
press order for two dollars, for which
have two copies of the Representa-
tive sent, one to William Hyslop and
one to self, both addressed to Ches-
ter, Mimi, and oblige one who has
long admired your able defense of the
tOiling masses. JOHN HYSLOP.

IMPORTANT.
The Volume of Silver. A Colo.
sal Lie Clearly Disproved.

Let me give a specimen of what
the associated press reports are.
Some little time ago there appeared
in the columns of the morning pa
pers, republican and democratic,
word for word in each alike, one of
those semi-offlcial publications that
occasionally come filtered to the pub
lie from high officers on subjects of
current pith and moment. This one
purported to be from President
Cleveland's able and distinguished
secretary of the treasury, Mr.. Car
Isle. The object of the statement
was obviously to impress upon the peo-
pie realization of the vast flood of
silver which had been let loose upon
us since 1878, particularly, as COM
pared with the period from 1892, the
date of the first coinage act, to 1873.
1t was given out as Mr.. Carlisle's
statement that from the year 1892
to 1873 there were coined but mill
ion silver dollars, and that since 1878
there had been coined more then
fifty times as much (silver) as was
coined during the 81 years following
the passage of the first coinage act.
Well, after all this .free-coinoge talk,
to learn that but millions of dollars
had been coined, was somewhat of
a staggerer. Now to the sequel:
A few days later, quite by accident,
while reading an article on "Coin-
age" in the New American Cyclopae-
dia, D. Appleton & Co., New York,
1868, l came to table compiled
from the latest report of the then
director of the mint, exhibiting the
aggregate coinage of the United
States from the establishment of
the mint to the fiscal year 1858,
a period of about sc years, and I
learned that there was coined of
silver, $l15, 19l ,5O7. 80! OF course this
was not all in dollars, dollar-pieces,
but Mr.. Carlisle's millions were in
UIIO1O3 OOI1O w uCl VIC lCCdl1
the fact that during this period of
&c years silver coin of all denomina-
tions, quarters, halves, dollars, nay,
even 10-cent pieces were legal-tender
in any amount, we are justified in
permitting ourselves to sheer at Mr..
Carlisle's alleged 8 millions. How
ever my estimation of John G.. Carl
isle has been too high to believe that
he lent himself to this attempt to
deceive I would ten times more
readily believe that the Associated
PreSS-Or whatever it calls Itself
cooked and seasoned the statement.

Not So Very Funny.

The newspapers have been having con-
siderable fun out of the strike of Poles
employed on the fertilizer dumps at
Brentwood, N. Y, because the strike was
occasioned by mosquitoes. There wasn't
anything funny about it. The men were
working by the piece and were satisfied
until the mosquitoes came upon them in
such quantities as to take half Of their
time in fighting the pests. Of course the
men made less than they did in the early
spring before the mosquitoes bothered
them. They struck for IS per cent ad-
vance and compromised on 20 per cent.

HIS LETTERS.


On July 81, 1877, he wrote the Hol-
land agent of the bondholders long
letter, intimating therein his regret
at having commenced negotiations
for the bonds. speaks of the grasshop-
per plague, falling off of emigration,
settlers going further west, rival
lines getting the trade, and falling off
of earnings (see Elk. E ~ while Far
ley, in writing to J. S. Kennedy on
June 80, II, says about the same (see
Def. exhibit S4). And it would seem
that the very St. Paul banker whom
Hill later retained, had been in the
business, in connection with certain
Holland members of the bondholders
committee, of breaking the price of
the bonds which were held in thous-
ands of hands. as shown by letters of
March %, 1874 (see Hill exhibit 15),
since the banker, under date of June
2, 1874, receives letter as follows:
SAT this low price it requires the
greatest efforts to break some bonds
out of their (the holders') hands,"

ARG MENT OF HILLS ATTORNEY.
At page 275 Hills attorneys say:
"And in this struggle it was impossi-
BILE, even if desirable lin view of the
contest in the legislature) to muzzle
the newspapers. Their friendship
was valuable, essential; and Mr.. Hill
took care that the publication
should be such as would do no
harm to their interests. Accordingly
on February 10, 1878, Hill wrote Mr..
S: 'To-morrow we expect to have
the bill introduced into legislature
to repeal DeGraff's bill of last win
ter and as we are active movers we
have had to alloao the newspapers to
allude in general way to the pro-
pability of the early completion of
the line to st. Vincent: This letter
shows that Mr.. Hill was fully aware
that matters in Holland might be
affected by publication here be-
fore the bOndholders had acceded.

words the natural rent. arising from
population, no pretext could be made
for other tax and the foreign workers
would no longer be forced to this
country; but when they were drawn
by our more favorable conditions,
they could no longer affect wages in
a country having but 40 inhabitants
to the square mile and whose land
gave all an equal chance to employ
themselves.
If the people were allowed to ex-
press their real convictions think
they would not object to buying
things at their natural prices, namely:
AT the cost of production plus ex-
penses of transportation and storage.
Nor would this cheapness lower wa
ges, since the lowest wage would be
as much as the worker could earn for
himself on land, that is natural
aCdges.
If these thoughts prove partially
convincing, or suggestive of objec-
tion. [ hope to again take up this
subject from yet another standpoint,

ply to all inquiries or objections.
