At present two persons are leaving the

Thst is the case at New York. which is
the great gateway Of immigration. This
does not include travellers, Whose who

takes in only those who are going with
tue int nsiou Of staying. The storage
capacity Of the steamers is. for the frs,
time il our history. taxed to end accom-

to Europe.
This exodus ia the diree' result Of the
business depression. Whenever We have
had = Pani followed ty stagnaiiOn in the
industrial world. the immigration figures
showed heavy drop very speedily
There was. too. some emigration a. such
times. as would naturally be expceied.--
Aliens found the conditions here not
what they expected. and SO returned to
their former homes. But there has
never bees su,h heavy ou,ge Of pea
pie as now. nor did the movement ever
set IN so quickly.
The reason lies at hand. It is the
impending change in our industrial sys-
ten. which will be brought about by the
Democratic Congress adopting the tariff

real name. the free trade policy. Skilled
workmen DESTROYS Of lettering their con-

lower in some items. 20 greater in many.
and only slightly greater in the remain

ter here than a. heme.
The triumph Of the Democratic party
last November rendered it certain that
American wages will be cut down. and
that the opportunities for work will be
very much lessened-for it is plain to
any thinking man that the increase Of
imports. which tven the DeA.ocrats in
Congress expect. will meal = lessening
Of the amount Of manufactures here; and
it is equally certain that in very many
lines the rate Of wages must be cut in
