ing the gateway open to those immigrants

coined TO our shores. who quickly become
Americanized. heartily adopt our ins.itu-
tons and become among the most patriot

According 70 these statistics. the highest
percentage Of iiliteracy among immi-

centage reaching s7-s5. Next in order
comes Italy, 52o; Gallicia. Ess: Poland.

countries from which our traditionA our

WRONG AGAIN.
Senator Sherman Misquoted the Statistics
Tho Mint Directors Figures.

Senator Sherman Misquoted the Statistics
Tho Mint Directors Figures.
In his Columbus speech Senator Sher-
man said that in the act of 1858 1.-The
silver dollar was not mentioned and
practically was excluded from coinage
and circulation" and that 1.-The drop
ping of the standard silver dollar in the
act of 1873 was precisely as was done
in 1881
Now either John Sherman's assertion
or the report of the director of the mint
is wrong. One fatty eontradicts the
other and most people will think that
the director ought to know more about
this matter than John Sherman.
According to the directors report
there was but one year from 1853 to
1873 in which silver dollars were not
coined, the exception being 1857. In
1871 there were LILY, 136 dollars coined
had turned out 296, 900 when operations
were suddenly stopped by the passage
of the act of February II, which dropped
the dollar from the list of coins and
prohibited its further coinage. From
the passage of the act of 1873 until the
passage of the Bland-AIlison act OF
1878, not a dollar was coined, the sill
YER work at the minis being confined
to subsidiary coins. So it appears John
Sherman is wrong; wrong again, but
that is nothing unusual for John; he il
used to being wrong.-Albany Times
