M'KINLEY ON PERMANENT
PROSPERITY.

In the New York Journal of Sunday
last was an interview with President
Mckinley on the great cotton mills
strike. Among other things the presi-
dent is reported as saying:
I have for a long time been in favor
of restricting immigration, he said,
decidedly, and a great Industrial dis
turbance like this accentuates the i'm
portance Of acting promptly. AS you
know, the immigration bill now before
congress has passed the senate, and
hope it will pass the house. In fact,
I will use what personal influence
have with the house members to have
the measure considered promptly and
favorably. I think there is no doubt
that it will be passed. 1 have held for
some time that we cannot avoid seri-
Gus industrial disturbances if we leave
the gates of our country wide open and
allow immigrants to come here when
our own people are not fully employed.
The restriction of immigration is the
first important thing to be done if we
expect permanent prosperity
If he is correctly reported, this
doesn't indicate that the president is a
very broad-guaged man. III fact 1t IN
dicates quite the contrary.
What we desire specially is to draw
attention to the last sentence. Mr..
Mckinley declares that the restriction
of immigration is the first important
thing to be done if we expect perman-
ent prosperity Isn't the present
boosted prosperity of the permanent
kind? Is it possible that the omnip2-
tent Dingley law could produce a pros
perity that is not as permanent as
the everlasting hills?
In 1896 Mr. Mckinley stood forth the
champion of the theory that the first
important thing to be done to secure
permanent prosperity was to defeat
free silver. Well, that was DONE Then
after he was elected president and in
stalled in the White House he became
the champion Of the theory that the
first important thing to be done TO Sc
cure permanent prosperity was to en-
act a highly protective tariff law, and
for this purpose he convened congress
in special session and the great pros
perity producing tariff law, known as
the Dingley law, was enacted. The
has come. for the protective-l
tariff papers declare that it has, and
they couldn't possibly be mistaken. And
now that it is here, like Solomon, in all
its glory. the president says that 1.-The
restriction Of immigration is the first
important thing to be done if we ex-
pect permanent prosperity" 1t is
much to be regretted that he did not
state what the second and third i'm
portant thing to be done to secure
prosperity is, for surely |
there will be a second and a third i'm
Dortant thing to sbe done to secure

MORE EVIDENCE OF M'KINLEY's
BIMETALLISM.

The position of director of the mint is
not SO important one as that of sec
rotary of the treasury; still it is very
| important. The person occupying the
position is always in sympathy with
the administration On the financial
question. The other day Director of the
Mint Preston resigned and President
Mckinley nominated as his successor
Mr.. George E. Roberts of Iowa. Here
was a chance for the president to en-
phasize anew his financial views, and
he did it by appointing a pronounced
gold standard man TO the place The
Chicago Times Herald which is in full
sympathy with the administration and
is usually understood to speak at least
mi-officially on matters of admins
tration policy. speaking of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Roberts. says:
The appointment of Mr. George E.
Roberts as director o. the mint is emf
nently satisfactory. The readers of the
Times Herald, who know Mr.. Roberts
from his writings, know that he is one
of the clearest thinkers and most lucid
writers on the money question and
other economic subjects that we have
in the country. His services in leading
the minds of the people of Iowa away
from the delusion of free silver and
convincing them of the advantages or
the gold standard were not surpassed
10y Governor Shaw himself
In the campaign of 1896 Mr.. Roberts
not only in his paper. the Fort Dodge
Messenger, but in strong and vigorous
pamphlets, discussed the issues OF the
campaign SO convincingly as to save
the Republican party from disintegra-
ton and heavy loss.
For the past two years and a half
Mr.. Roberts has been one of the most
valued contributors 10 the Inn -s-uc1-
aid. and his articles have commanded
wide attention. It was these that first
attracted the notice of Mr. Gage, and
doubtless have been instrumental in
bringing about his appointment. which
was entirely uns olicited by him.
If Mr.. Mckinley is the friend to sill
yer that some of his admirers say he
is. why did he not give an evidence of
it in the selection Of director of the
mint? Senator Wolcott had just
made his explanation" speech in
which he numerically castigated Sec
rotary Gage because. as he said, the
secretary had tried to thwart the ef-
forts of the president in behalf of in
ternational bimetallism. OF course he
tried to do no such thing, in fact did
not do anything that was not fully
sanctioned by the president. Senator
Wolcott's castigaion of Secretary Gage
was really a cowardly thing. for the
guilty party was the president and he
was spared. And the apologists for the
president in this matter are nothing
but sycophants. If Mr.. Mckinley were
DESTROYS OF advancing the silver cause
he could very easily get a secretary of
the treasury who would second all his
efforts.

FEBRUARY MAGAZINES.

The Atlantic Monthly for February
/ may be termed a political and social
number as its leading article and two
/ others are devoted to a discussion of
/ questions political or social, in one
sense or another. The leading article
/ Commercialism," by John Jay Chap
man. 1t is, in reality, a discussion of
the use of money in politics. Incl
dentally, there is a good deal of discus
sion of reform movements. 1t is
thoughtful article, which should be
carefully pondered by all who read it.
The other social or semi-political art
icles are Thomas Wentworth Higgin-
sons "On the Outskirts of Public
Life" and John Stephens Durham s
THE Labor Unions and the Negro.
Colonel Higginson's article is largely
photographed, telling of platform
and other experiences, while Mr.. Dur
hams is on an important social cues
ton. Hugo Munsterberg discusses The
Danger From Experimental Psychol-
ogy." Speaking of child study. he
says: 1T has always been my convic-
ton that love and tact and patience
and sympathy and interest are more
important for the teacher than any
psychological observations he can make
on children, and that these observa-
lions are natural enemies of his in

they dissolve the personality into ele-
ments, while love and tact have moth

to relieve the more serious articles.

Scribner's Magazine for February is
an excellent number throughout. The
leading article is by Avery d. Andrews,
and is entitled THE Police Control of a
Great Election" The election here de-
scribed was that held in New York City
this last November. The article is
abundantly illustrated, and it tells the
modus operandi of an election in a
great city. Captain a. T. Mahan, u. S.
N, the great naval authority. tells of
THE Naval Campaign of 1T76 On Lake
Champlain." The article is from
chapter written by Captain Mahan for
the History of the Royal Navy of
Great Britain" Why do not Captain
Mahan's publishers induce him to write
a history of the navy of the United
States? No one is better qualified for
the task. His present article is fully
illustrated. Senator Lodge continues his
THE Story of the Revolution" the
present installment treating of the sec
ond congress and the siege of Boston.

The American trade with South
Africa is growing at a remarkable rate.
To the British colonial ports the ex-
ports of 1897 were $1O316,0OO. compared
with S9,46O.OOO in 1895. This is a gain
of over $50 per cent. The greatest in
crease is in wheat, which advanced in
two years from $4,000 to nearly $1,000
coo in 1897, and of -four, which increased
in the same time from $4,000 to nearly
81, O00.0 600. We send over SS,300,000 wood
manufactures and general machinery,
and a million dollars worth of illumi-
mating oils. Most of the oil goes in
cans from Philadelphia. and it is said
the old tin cans are utilized by the
natives in many strange ways. and
that bangles and other ornaments are
made from the sheet metal to adorn the
warriors and the Gusky bellies.
