1t was just before the election Of
1892. Some college students were talk
ing over the political situation and dis
cussing the issues Of the campaign. "Do
! believe in the Mckinley bill?" said
the one from California. well, I
should rather say did. I am coming
to college on the Mckinley bill. My
father has ranches in northern Califor-
MIA and raises sheep. It's the wool
schedule Of the Mckinley bill that keeps
me at college as we'll as good many
other fellows from the west. ;"
The majority Of Californians were
not so clear sighted in 1892 as this
young fellow, but four years of free
trade times have opened their eyes. In
spite of an overwhelming free silver sen.
timent urging California to the support
OF Free Trader Bryan, the state swung
into line in support Of the great proteo-
Zionist. to whom the people look for
protection to Californian industries 1t
is the tariff which reclaimed Californis

mercial nations of the world for the
promotion Of bimetallism was prompt
and commendable response to the dec
laration of the st. Louis platform.
There is every reason to believe that the

faith. The words Of the platform adopt

opposed to the free coinage Of silver ex

the leading commercial nations Of the

promote, and until such agreement can
be obtained the existing gold standard

The adoption of Senator Wolcott's g
resolution by the Republican caucus so

may be taken as an earnest of an honest
and candid policy with reference to BIZ

The resignation Of Senator Dubois as
secretary Of the Republican caucus of

Deserves 20 Become . Law.
The Lodge bill for the restriction Of
immigration has been considered in the
caucus of Republican senators and has
been accepted az one Of the measures to
be brought forward as early as possible.
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. There ia
no taint of know nothingism or nativism
in the bill 1t is a measure that will ex-
olude only those who. having reached
the age of IA years. are unable to read
in any language. Practically it will ex-
clude no Germans, no Scandinavians
and no English speaking immigrants,
for all but very small percentage Of
these are literate to the degree of ability
to read and write.
But there is another class Of immi-
grants, Of which more than 40 per cent
are wholly illiterate, wholly poor and
class becomes Amerioanized very slow
ly, if at all. By the census Of 1890 it
appears that 82 per cent of such immi-
grants remain as aliens, while Of the
German, Scandinavian. British and
Irish more than 80 per cent become
naturalized as soon as possible after
their arrival.
This ignorant and largely vicious
class congregates in the large cities. It
cuts down the rate of wages, it adds to
the tax list, and it contributes little or
nothing to the revenue. Moreover, it ia
class that increases very rapidly. In
1880 the proportion of illiterates was
almost tenth of the whole body of i'm.
migrants. Today it is more than half.
