Two Strong Voices.

From the ranks of those formerly
designated as the opposition, COM
manding figures are, each day, step
ping out and swearing allegiance to
Mckinley and Republicanism. The
few Republican OBJECTIONS are nothing
in comparison with the number and
influence of the Democrats who are
stepping into the Republican column.
The sane and substantial Democrats
of the country are not deceived by the
Organism of 1900 any more than they
latest to declare for Mckinley are
General John NJ. Palmer, four years
ago the Gold Democratic candidate for
President, and Charles Francis Adams,
Massachusetts Independent of famous
blood who has been counted an anti
| imperialistic" leader. Their stimuli
taneous declaration will have much in
fiuence in turning doubtful voters to
the support of the Republican ticket.
They both regard the defeat of
Bryan as the main issue and say it
must be accomplished at any cost.
They both condemn him as menace
to safe government. and they empha-
size the dangerous character of his
political intimates. 1t was to be ex-
pected that General Palmer would de-

there is absolutely no occasion for put
ting gold ticket in the field this year.
1t would do the cause of sound money
no good and might do harm. The I'M
equivocal gold plank in the Republican
platform is good enough for General
Palmer and those who voted for him in
1896 Neither General Palmer nor Mr..
Adams attach any Importance to the
parade of "anti-imperialistic'' declara-
tons in the Kansas City platform.
They know that the cry of Imperial
ism, 'miltarism" and empire" chaff
that will catch very few birds. Gen.
Palmer declares imperialism is a
LAST dldTfn, anu CHc Thinking people
know it. This country is not be-
lever, nor are Mr.. Mckinley and his
party friends believers, in imperialism
If there has been expansion, circum-
stances have warranted it, AS for Mr..
Adams. he is not an expansionist, but
he has faith in the Republican admin
istration and will not trust the Democ-
racy. He says: 1T is inconceivable
that sane men should run the risk of
intlicting upon the country the real
evils of free silver in order to escape
the imaginary menace of imperial
ism" General Palmer and Mr.. Adams
set the issues in a clear light, and
their stand will have a potent in
fIuence.

Increasing immigration.

There is no cause for congratulate
in the fact that during the fiscal year
just ended, more immigrants sought
our shores than during any previous
year for almost a decade. The rising
tide of immigration is a menace, for it
is notorious that the quality of the i'm
migrants coming to the United States
has deteriorated greatly in recent
fury immigration was source of
strength to our country; now it is
rather a source of weakness. Then We
received intelligent and Industrious
immigrants from northern Europe;
now the immigrants are in large part
from southern Europe, notably Austria
Hungary and Italy. They are igno-
rant, unskilled in labor, with a low
standard of living, and with danger
GUS parentage of criminality. Neither
economically nor politically does this
later immigration promote a healthy
national growth.
In 1892 the total number of immi-
grants reached the very high figure of
623, 0S4. Then it began to fall off, and
the decrease continued, each year, I'M
til in 1898 only $780, 300 immigrants came
to our land In 1899 the number in
creased to 11,715, and it is estimated
| that the total number for the year
ending June 80 last will exceed $4,000.
No doubt, the increase is due to the
prosperous condition in this country
The deterioration in the quality is
marked, however. as well as the in
crease in numbers. Nearly one-fourth
came from southern Italy; while Po-
| land, the Balkan states and Jewish
| Russia sent large numbers. They rep
resent an addition to our population
which no point of view makes a de-
sirable one.
Restriction there ought to be now,
and restriction there must be before
long, but the problem is a difficult
one. Shall restriction be by consular
examination abroad, by the illiteracy
test, or by the plan of a per capita tax,
as some eminent economists, notably
General Francis A. Walker, have
| urged? In defence of the head tax it
is urged that if we tax foreign imports
to protect American industries it is
our right and duty to tax foreign i'm
migrants to protect American institu-
tions. There is much also to be said
| for the educational qualification. No
plan of restriction would be perfect,
and none would keep out all anarch-
lists. criminals and Others undesirable
classes. The one that would come
nearest this end is the one wanted.
The land of the free must not be made
a dumping ground for the worlds ref
use. On the other hand, the gates
must always be wide open to honest
sober and industrious people OF all
lands seeking to better their condition
in America. OF such are new Ameri-
cans made.
