JOHNSON'S GOOD WORK.
His Bill for the Restriction of lmmi.
grafton.

F'rom the Placer County Republican,
The question of the restriction of i'm
migration is one of vast importance to
the United States, and the fallacy Of
the course of allowing the old world
yearly to pour into the United States
ner thousands of citizens, good, bad
and Indifferent, is admitted by every
true and loyal American.
To this Uninterrupted admission of
immigrants may be accredited in some
material degree the condition of affairs
that exist to-day, which, added to the
absence of proper protection, finds this
great country in dire straits and re-
duced to a plane never before equaled
in her history. The laborer, the farm
er and the artisan have raised their
voices against it time and time again.
Political parties have adopted resolu-
tions in their platforms in favor of
some measure restricting it, yet it has
remained for one man hailing from the
Pacific Coast to unfurl a banner in the
halls Of Congress in the attempt to
rectify this wrong which has so di-
rectly attacked the rights of American
citizens in almost every walk of life,
reducing the wages of the Wage-earn-
erS, filling the places our native born
and already naturaliZed citizens are
justly entitled to occupy with foreign
ers, who, in many instances, cannot
speak our mother tongue. In short
attacking the Drawn and sinew of our
nation, taking from us our manhood
and raising up a people in our midst
opposed, oftentimes, to our institutions
and teachings.
The man who was true to his convic-
tions and fearless enough to attempt
a full measure of relief was the Hon.
Grove l.. Johnson, our Representative
in Congress. Had Mr.. Johnson been
otherwise unrecognized in Congress,
which was not the case, the fact of his
introducing the bill to restrict immi-
grafton was an act of such great mo-
ment to the people OF the country at
| large that that in itself is sufficient to
appeal to every true American, and
| spur each and every voter of this coun-
| ty and Congressional District to give his
| undivided support in Mr. Johnson's S
| behalf and return him to Congress to
carry into effect the good work already
| begun by him.

the Importance Of voting straight on
Assemblyman and Senator. On the
possession Of the next Legislature de-
pends the election Of United States
Senator to succeed George G. Perkins
1t is an affront to the intelligent and
honest people Of this State to even
think Of putting such a man as T. ".
Gator in the position. A man that has
been in all political parties for his own
advancement. The issue is sharp.
THE OTHER FELLOWS OK THIS
TIME.
1t is announced that the silver
mines at Leadville are to be
opened with non-union men who
are willing to work for what the union
men refused. The mine-owners are
surrounding their property with stock
ades, which are to be guarded by
armed men, while cannOns are planted
in the hills surrounding the works to
be used in case of an attack from the
former workmen. This is a matter
which Americans may think over to
their own profit. The employers in this
case are members of the silver combine
which has been so busily engaged in
fostering a sentiment which would
bring the Federal Government into
action to make their product yield an
artificial profit. No sensible men will
deny that they have a right to employ
nom union men, and it will also be
generally admitted that if men are
willing to work they should be protected
in their right But it may not be out
of place to call attention to the way this
affair is treated by certain newspapers
and orators as compared with the
Homestead strike under similar condi-
tions. What a howl then went up over
plutocrats meeting workingmen with
Wlnchesters and those whose business it
was to preserve order were characterized
as butchers ready and willing to shoot
down honest men as so much per day.
There is little, if any difference, in the
circumstances attending the two cases,
but then great party was accused of
being responsible for oppression of hon
est laborers. 1t is well to note the en-
thusiasm with which political capital
was manufactured out Of the former
case, and the studied silence which
greets the Leadville episode
NOT A FAIR SHOW.
Shasta Courier: The Mckinley tariff
law was not even given a fair trial. and
II 1T had been allowed to remain in force
there would have been no occasion for
special bond issues to pay the running
expenses of the Government. From the
day of the passage of the law Cleveland
and his cuckoo Congressman avowed
their intention to repeal it and never
rested until they did so, and substituted
the present impotent Wilson German
abortion which neither protects nor
yields decent revenues.
Santa Rosa Republican: Only in the
Fopocratic party can men be found
who think they know all about the
currency question, Thomas B. Reeds
idea of it is expressed as follows: mo
body knows all about the currency
question. 1t is not necessary to imply
that nobody knows anything about this
subject, however. Nobody knows all
about the ocean, but men of good sense
keep out of the middle of it,
