OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 10.-In the
house Of commons Rev. Mr.. Maxwell of
Vancouver, B. c., in moving for
memorials presented to the government
on the subject of Chinese immigration,
made a vigorous attack upon that class
of immigration. He advocated increas-
ing the poll tax on each Chinaman en-.
tering the Dominion from $50 to $500.
The Chinese on the Pacific coast, he
said, were driving the English speaking
people out Of employment. Mr.. Frazer
Of Nova Scotia spoke in favor Of abol-
ishing Chinese immigration altogether.
Sir Henry Jolly regretted the attack
that was made on the Chinese, seeing
that he had just left Ii Hung Chang

Hon. Richard P. Bland, the
celebrated free silverite, has an
article in the North American Re-
view for September, in which he
very impressively dwells upon the
'.value" that our minis will fix
upon silver when the United States
has free coinage. He says:
"No man in his senses but can
see that should our government
cease it's great demand for gold,
which now exists under the single
gold standard, aud throw its power
upon the side Of silver, making it's
demand for silver instead of gold,
such a condition would inevitably
lower the value of gold and appre-
ciate that Of silver, thus bringing
the two metals to practical parity
in this country, and throughout
the world" n.
If that is the case, then surely
no man in his senses can see but
this government can make the
ratio 1 to as well as Is to /. The
present claim that the government
double the value Of silver COM
pared with gold all over the world,
has no better grounds for belief
than claim that they can make
it ten times as valuable as it is
compared with gold. A man who
believes the claims of the free sll.
yer leaders, can easily endorse fiat
money Of any kind,

DEATH OF DR.. BAKER.

A telegram was received for Gen.
Baker Monday afternoon containing
the sad intelligence that his Oldest
son, DR.. Arthur H. Baker, had died
during the afternoon at his home in
Washington, d. 9. Gen. Baker was
in ST. Paul, but was communicated
with last night.
The deceased was forty-fOur years
of age, and had for some years been
chief Of a division in the United
States Treasury Department.. His
boyhood days were passed in this
city, and many of the older residents
remember him. His death was
rather sudden, and was due to Bright's
disease of the kidneys. A wife and
four children survive him.
Gen. Baker will receive the SYM
pathy of all in his loss.
Gen. Baker received the tele-
gram in time to go to Washington for
the funeral. The deceased had been
in the Treasury Department since
Mr.. Window was first Secretary Of
of the Treasury. Dr.. Baker was well
known in the department for his
ability and had always been charged
with the most important duties.
Gen. Baker left this afternoon for
Washington, and will be present at
the funeral, which will occur Friday.
He will be gone a week or more.

A BUSINESS MANS VIEW.
What the People Want is Chance to
Earn Money.

A business man of this city wrote
the other day to the head of his
Chicago house, who is a Democrat and
free trader, asking him what he
thought the effect Of free silver, if
inaugurated, would be on this coun-
try. We are asked not to publish the
gentleman's name, but the following
is his answer and contains so much
good sense that it is worth publish
ing:
We have had periods of great pros
perity at times when there was less
or no more circulating medium
than now. There is plenty of money
The stuff is not used except in settle
ment of small trade. 80 per cent Of
the business is taken care of through
the various forms of credit.
| don't know of but three ways to
get money or it's equivalent. The
first and best way is to earn it. Sec
ond, inherit it. Third, steal it.
We all prefer chance to earn it but
we won't get the opportunity until
this agitation ceases and the money
of the country is turned loose. Peo-
pie will not let go of money or credit
unless feeling reasonably certain Of
holding their own.
Some good men are in favor of free
coinage but the great majority of sill
verites are men who went broke in
wild speculations and who imagine
that free coinage will cause them to
be put back to where they were 10
years ago.
A high protective tariff is bad
enough but free coinage of
silver will not be good for all of US.
If we are to have it hope it will be
soon.
The first effect will be to wipe out
more than one half the business men
and others who have plenty OF as
sets but can't realize right away and
get out of debt.
After the crash there will come an
era of the widest speculation ever
known, and when the bomb bursts We
will wish we were in some other
place. If people will cease agitation
and 60 to work it won't be long until
we are all contented. If we get a
flood of money we can watch it flow
into the pockets of the smart fellows
and the other fellows will be worse or
as badly off as ever. wish they
would let up and give US all a show to
earn some of the good things so plenti-
full in this country.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
Favors Extension of the Laws Already in
Force.

Force.
The declaration of the platform touch
ing foreign immigration is one of peculiar
Importance at this point when our own
laboring people are in such great distress.
am in hearty sympathy with the present
legislation restraining foreign immigra-
ton and favor such extension of the laws
as will secure the United States from in
vasion by the debased and criminal classes
of the old world. While we adhere to the
public policy under which our country has
received great bodies of honest, in
dustrious citizens, who have added
to the wealth, progress and power
of the country, and while we welcome to
our shores the well disposed and indus
trious immigrant who contributes by his
energy and intelligence to the cause of free
government, we want no immigrants who
do not seek our shores to become citizens
We should permit none to participate in
the advantages of our civilization who do
not sympathize with our aims and form
of government. We should receive none
who come to make war upon our institu-
tions and profit by public disquiet and
turmoil. Against all such our gates must
be tightly closed.

Believes in Fair and Liberal AdminisGra-
ton of the Pension Bureau.
The soldiers and sailors of the union
should neither be neglected not forgotten.
The government that they served so we'll
must not make their lives or condition
harder by treating them as suppliants for
relief in old age or Distress nor regard
with disdain or contempt the earnest in
terest one comrade naturally manifests in
the welfare of another. Doubtless there
has been pension abuses and frauds in
the numerous claims allowed by
the government, but the policy
governing the administration of
the pension bureau must always be fair
and liberal. No deserving applicant should
ever suffer because of wrong perpetrated
by or for another. Our soldiers and sail
ors gave the government the best they
had. They freely offered health, sire ngth,
limb and life to save the country in the
time of its greatest peril, and the govern
ment must honor them in their need as
in their service with the respect and graft
itude due to brave, noble and selfsacri-
fcing men who are justly entitled to gen.
erous aid in their increasing necessities

terests "the most ample protection" q
guaranty that ought to commend itself to

grievous wrong done the farmers of our
country than that so unjustly inflicted
during the past three years upon the wool
