EX-SENATOR H. A. w. TABOR.
Who has been dominated for postmaster OF Denver.
popular and successful party candidate
The Immigration Bill.


The discussion in the senate on the
inn migration bill shows very Gle arly
where the republican party stands in
the matter of mt lligence and law ard
order. The !eadi' G men of the party
have spoken GU clearly and vigorously
in favor of law which shall exclude
from the United States the ignorant
the d=praved, AMI the us ,tisfactory
classes which have during the past few
years made up su n large proportion
of the in mi. Ia ion. The republican
measure of this kind dur. ng the clos
ing months of Presidfn' Cleveland s
te, m, and it was vetoed u, him. Now
that there is reDublicaL pcs ! It in
The White House, Iep - can
majority in the house of rep. cent
atives, and a larger number of repuo-
licans than of any tier party in the
sena e. there is reason to believe that
the measure will become law, and
that the world will be given to under
stand that the party in cor troll of af-
fairs in the United States does
not desire to recruit the citizenship
of this nation hith ignorant and de-
graded men, and is not willing to
permit this class to come into com
petition with intelligent American
citiZe as or assist in controlling national
affairs.
Heavy Exports During 1897.
A comp, ison of the exports of
domestic articles during the year 1867
and the preceding year of 1896 shows
that Notwithstanding the enactment of
a protective tariff law our productions
have gone abrc ad 10 even greater
quantities than under a low-tariff mea-
sure. In the first eleven months of
1897 the value of the exports of agr -
cultural implements was So, l49. 900
against "a, 527 COO for the first eleven
| moaths of 1856. The value of cattle
! export ed in the first eleven months of
1897 was $50, 49S 600 against 1873, 62l 900

pc rted in these eleven months of 1897
was 50, 10000 agai st SO, 2S2. 600
IN 1896. The value of sheep exported
in the first eleven months of 1897 WAS
81 ,2o9,0O0 against 81, S91 900 in 1896,
showing a falling off in the exporta-
ton of tn Sc n mails. Tnis, however,
Is more Than satisfactorily accounted
for by the fact that the she-p raisers
of the country are building up their
flock and many farmers are branch
ing out into sheep-raIsing and wool
growing. OF ley, The exports in
creased from S., 555 600 in 1896 to Sc
53o, 900 in the eleven mt nths men tion-
