downright. 1861

ON q little island fifteen minutes down
| New York Bay, live the most trusted
| officials in the employ Of Uncie sam-
| They are the Commissioners of Imini-
grafton. the trusty watchdogs that guard
| the gates of the country and keep the
unworthy from entering. Many oI the
unworthy have money and could bribe
their entrance here. But the watchdogs
are tue. They eye them and forbid them
to pass the gates. no matter bow bard
they may beg admittance. ~
Ellis Island has the honor of receiving
a quarter OF million people year
vino want to come to this country and
enjoy its privileges. They embark upon
a steamshp-which is responsible for their
characters and come over here. The
first snag they strike is the health officer
at quarantine. but if no sickness is aboard
they sail Oh until they come. to Ellis
Island. Here they must get off and Walk
past the portals or the United States
past the watchdogs, the Commissioners
of Immigration.
FACING THE WATCHDOGS.
Instead OF finding themselves in a land
flowing with clover honey and pure milk
they view only a small Island of per-
baps SIX acres, with government build
ings scattered all over IT, and quickly they
are hustled into room from which they
are taken one By one and questioned.
The questions are put by the board OF
inquiry, and so rapidly are they piled to
the waiting guests that 500 can easily
be passed through their hands I'D Il day.
Some days eco land, and then the board
must be extra quick. for twent y-four hours
is all the time allowed at the gateway"
where the board Of inquiry is.
These are the men who are the watch
dogs. They take the pedigree OF the
man or woman and compare il with that
written in the slips books. Every steam
ship vouche. for the character of its emf
grants before bringing them over. If
ship brings over an unworthy cha racter it
must carry him back without charge to
the government. II it brings over too
many unworthy ones. ii loses caste with
the Ellis Island authorities, and for a
long time the eye OF suspicion Is bent
upon all who come by that line.
II the mans story agrees with the
one he told when he embarked, and IL
he can support himself in this country,
lie is passed along to the waiting boats
aud brought 10 Castle Garden But II
he hesitates or makes n statement that
does not correspond with what he said
before, or II he is without money or
friends, then he is hustled aside into the
pen to be deported TO his own country.
The watchdogs are very careful. Their
eyes seem gifted with second sight. They
can see through a good suit of clothes to
mans heart, and they can tell il he is
speaking the truth about his past and his
future. They do it by instinct.
The head of the watchdogs is Dr. Sen
ner, and his Close assistant is Edward
+. McSweeney. These are the men VINO
are personally and directly responsible
for the character and livelihood Of every
man who steps foot in this country.

sale. it was unanimously decided that the
following form of guarantee should be

Gold "Gag' at se1Iersburg.

AT Sellersburg Mr.. Bryan sprung his Ia
miliar trap for gold men in this way:
rs there any person in this crowd who
believes that gold standard is a good
thing? If there is, let us see your hands
Quite a number Now | want you people
to raise up your hands and tell me why
did the Republican party pledge itself TO
get rid of the gold standard and substitute
bimetalliSm as soon as foreign nations wi 4
help us to do it? Now. you men who held
up your hands and said you thought the
gold standard is a good thing If the Re
publican party thought so, why didn't it
have the courage to say SO at ST. Louis
and not declare that bimetallism is better
than the gold standard? a dozen or two of
you held up your hands and said the gold
standard is a good thing. Now, hold up
some gold some of you who said the gold
standard is a good thing. Where is your
gold. you men who think the gold stand
ard is a good thing? Let us see your gold
One man. out of those not exceeding two
dozen who held up their, hands. One had
gold. 1t is not even sixteen to one my
friends. You take sixteen men who be-
eve in a gold standard and there won't
be more than one of them that has any
gold the standard he says is good.
Mr.. Mckinley said five years ago that
when you discriminate against silver you
make money the master and all things else
the servant. Those who want money to
be the master can vote the Republican
ticket, and all the rest of you can join
with us to restore the gold and silver coin
