IndIa and the Price OF silver.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. You per-
mitted me recently to draw attention to the
fact that when the exchanges between Eng
land and Asia fall highlands exports OF COM
merce to Asia are reduced. her imports tend
to increase. From which IL follows that a fall
in the bullion price Of silver. which involves a
fall In the exchanges with 700 900 900 OF peo-
pie. reduces our sales to Asia. And II England
cannot sell to Asia. England cannot buy from
America.
From this point OF view the stability OF the
price OF silver bullion Ii o. great Importance
to your railways. to your farmers. and to your
exporting merchants.
The recent steadiness OF the price OF silver
at and about 40 cents has surprised many OF
those who. like Senators Jones and Teller an
ticipated a serious fall after the passage OF
repeal. This steadiness is now accounted for
by the fact that there has been a brisk specu-
latiye movement in India during the past ten
weeks. IL had been Whispered In important
artiilcia! rate for the rupee and to head of
counterfeiters, the Government of India was
about to put on u duty OF 20 per cent. on all
imported silver bullion. In order to get head
recently been buying silver in very great
quantities. and 1t Is these speculative pur-
chases that haye recently helped the silver
market materially.
70 decide this question. ana which ever way
they decide. whether to levy the duty or not,
the present speculation in silver. once over
the price OF the metal will fall considerably.
this cause, and your imEorts from the uneer-
tainty i'm parted by the Wilson bill.
1t appears. therefore. probable that the busi-
ness stagnation in Now York will not be re-
leved for some time to cone: ,. s.

IL is assumed that we ret Italians from
Italy. Swedes from Sweden. Irish from Ire
land. and Danes from Denmark. 1t
ls certain that very nearly the whole
Of the Russian immigrants to this
country are Jewish. as Russia has made It
exceedingly difficult for the other subjects
OF the Car to leave his dominions. We are
not yet able to compare the immigration
from Russia during the whole OF last year
with that OF the previous year; but we know
that, while In some months OF 1898 It
was smaller, In others It was larger, than
in the corresponding months OF 1892.
It was much larger In last July
than It had been In the previous July: IL
was smaller In the three closing months OF
last year than It had been In the same
months Of the previous year. The immi-
grants from Poland and the other European
countries which contribute to the enlarge
ment of our Jewish population were
about az numerous ae usual for ut
least one-half OF last year. We have
examined all the authentic statistics
upon this subject that are procurable:
and. while they lead to the conclusion
that the volume OF Jewish immigration
from Europe has recently boon smaller
than it was at some other times. they make
It certain that the falling of has been con-
fined within short period. We do not
doubt that 1t is due TO the depression OF
business here.
Taking all the data within reach. we es-
innate that the Jewish immigrants to this
country last year numbered about 10000.
Our gates are open to the Jewish people.
as to all other people who arc not specially
excluded by law. Mr.. WEBER approved
himself good friend Of the Jewish immi-
grants while he held Office, and he is yet
most friendly TO them.

Tho Contest at Trenton.

The Democrats at Trenton are justified
In using all legitimate aud constitutional
methods to prevent the seating Of BRADLEY
OF Monmouth until the legality OF his cleo
tlon shall have been passed upon by the
Supreme Court.
The Democratic plan OF resistance to this
contemplated outrage on honest govern
ment rests on the theory that the State
Senate in New Jersey is continuous body:
and this theory in turn rests upon the Con-
stitution OF the State.
Shall BRADLEY and the men elected along
with him. and who need his vote In the Sem
ate. be permitted to decide the question Of
the honesty OF BRADLEY's election. or shall
they be made to wait for the decision Of the
Court
Fight It out on that line II it takes till

IL any one else than Cleveland were the Ex-
ecutive he would instantly recall Willis for at
tempting to restore the Queen after the whole
question had been turned over to Congress.
Tint Cleveland has not thus acted supports
the suggestion that there is behind what has
been communicated to Congress som ething
on which he stands to justify his conduct.
That Willis has in his possession from
Gresham what he regards as his justification
few who know him will doubt. He knows the
Presidents wishes; knows them as they were
when he left Washington. and it will be found
he has acted up to them. Willis is great dis
lance from a fool and any att empt to make
him a scapegoat would be hazardous.
