TO CHECK INFLUX Of

immigration Question Is Dis
cussed by Workingmen.
MR. DUBOIS PROPOSITION
Suggests That Immigrants BE Landed
at Southern Ports, Where Laborers
Are In Dcmand-$25,OO 900, 900 Annu-
ally Taken Abroad by Aliens.


New YORK, June 5-Delogatcs of
central labor bodies who arc appointed
to consider the question of immigration
held conference i'll this city last night.
a letter was received from S. Dubois,
who suggested as solution of the Qrcs-
tion that all immigrants be landed in
southern ports at Now Orleans and Mo.
bile, instead of in New York, where
there was a congestion of population.
The fare TO these ports, he said, would
be $40 more than to New York and that
would deter poor foreigners from COM
ing. Again, said Dubois, an influx of
immigrants would arouse the south to
renewed activity
William II. Allen of district assembly
40, said that the aliens who camo hero
and worked awhile and then returned to
their homes took away from this coun-
try S25,00o,00o annually. This, com
bined with what other ''birds OF pass
age" took away, swclled the amount TO
about $lO0,O00,0O0 annually. He went
on to say that as it would be impossible
to secure direct legislation to restrict
Immigration, he would suggest some in
direct way to secure this end; and he
offered Il resolution that the government
Withdraw gold from circulation and
substitute free silver and irredccmablo
paper currency. This, he believed,
would especially discourage Italians
from coming hero.
When asked whether he did not think
that other nations would rctalatc for
such radical changes i'll the currency
system here, Mr.. Allen thought that
Americans did not credit whatever other
nations did, and that the ASturS and
other rich men who spent their money
i'll Europe would como back and spend
1t here. Delegate John i. Henry OF tho
Central Federation union, who was i'll
the chair, thought tat this plan was
visionary, to say the Least. He would,
he said, make II compendium OF all the
plans and suggestions which had been
sent i'll, together with the conclusion ot
the conference, and submit them to the
Continental labp- bodies.

BRY AN TO oULORED VOTERS.

At st. Paul, Mimi, William J. Bryan
spoke to club Of colored voters who
had promised him their support. The
colored voters of Canton and Stark
county will be particularly interested
in what he said. Speaking of the claim
Of the Republican party to their suffrage
Mr.. Bryan said:
Certainly you have repaid the pres
ent Republican leaders for all that they
have done for your race So far as Of
fees are concerned you have bestowed
presidencies upon the Republican party
and received janitorships In return. So
far as legislation is concerned you have
been the victims Of the same vicious
policies which have injured the white
man. More of your race are engaged
In the production Of cotton than In any
other industry, and yet the cotton
growers, without receiving any benefit
from high tariff when they sell their
product. suffer from the imposition of
high tariff duties when they buy.
THE colored man is, as a rule, neither
money lender nor a holder of fixed
Investments, and therefore, does not
profit by the gold standard. He is not
stockholder in private monopolies,
but when the trust passes through the
land, even the blood of Lincoln, sprink-
led upon the door posts of the colored
mans humble home, would not protect
him from extortion.
when Lincoln lived ne wanted the
Declaration of Independence applied to
black man while the present leaders
OF the Republican party are unwilling
to apply 1t to a brown man in the Phil
ippine islands.
mo one can deny the existence Of a
race prejudice In the country, however
much he may deplore It. The race
problem is with us and It will require
the intelligence and patriotism of all
our people. north and south, white and
black. to solve It. But the existence of
this very race prejudice should be a
warning to us not to bring In a new
race problem even more difficult Of So
luton. 1t should be a warning to ad-
ministering a carpet-bag government in
distant colonies over people who are
to be denied independence and yet ex-
cluded from,citizenship."
