BOfRS AS AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS.

will witness considerable 1nfn1-
grafton from that region to the
United States. Report has it that
one of the objects of the Boer COM
missioners in coming to this coun-
try was to meet some of the offiC-
ials connected with the immigra-
ton societies and learn the oppor-
tunities afforded for the settlement
of large numbers of their race in
some of the Western States or
Territories. One of the Boer
agents denies this report, but it
has been learned that some of the
railroad companies have been max
ing propositions to the commission
ers looking to the settlement of
considerable numbers of their
countrymen in the West. This
particular commissioner expressed
himself as favorably impressed
with the friendliness of the Ameri
cans toward his people, and thinks
highly of the advantages which
would be afforded to them if they
should locate in the United States,
though he says that most of them
will remain at home and live un-
der the British flag.
But whether the majority of the
Beers remain in their own land
under the British domination or
not, it is reasonably certain that
many of them will be found among
the annual influx of immigrants
to this country hereafter. Thus
far they have not figured with
any prominence among the alien
arrivals in this country, but
change in this respect is reason
ably certain to take place from
this time onward. 1t was estimat-
ed that the number of immigrants
to the United States between the
treaty of peace in 1888 and the
year 1920, when statistics on this
point began to be collected for the
first time, was 100000. At that
particular time the number of alien
arrivals was small, being less than
10000 in 1920, although the num-
Der was much greater in some of
the previous years of the century,
before exact figures were collect
ed. The failure of the potato
crop in Ireland in 1916, however,
and the rebellions in many of the
countries of Europe in 1880, in
Guiding Austria, Prussia and some
of the other German states, as
we'll as in Ireland and Hungary,
sent the volume of immigrants to
the United States up to high fig
ures. Over 1900, 900 immigrants
have arrived in this country since
1920, two-thirds of them since
1850.
Once there was a time when
the United States could say, in
the words of the old song, that
"Uncle Sam is rich enough to
give us all a farm" This con-
dition is true to a considerable de-
gree to this day, although the
country has three times as many
inhabitants now as it had at the
time when these words were first
heard. The public lands are still
far from being exhausted. The
quantity, the fertility and the
cheapneSs of the lands in the
United States, coupled with the
freedom from oppression and the
opportunity for every one to carve
out his own destiny in his own
way, was the chief consideration
which impelled immigrants to come
to this country when the con-

The commissioners settled with A.
Z. Hixon yesterday for sl25. Hixou's
wagon and team went through a
Slate creek bridge south of Oxford
one day last week. He offered last
Saturday TO settle with the county
for s20e or $500, but the lawyers got
hold OF him before the board met. and
he put In an itemiZed bill for $500.
Fifty bushels Of apples were quoted
atsl per buShel, and the injuries TO
his team OF mules were placed at $50,
while his own injuries were placed at
s240 HlxOn was called before the
toard, and asked TO explain his dam
ages and injuries. The commissioners
were not satisfied with his story, and
investigated it. They found that his
apples cost him only % cents bushel
and that their market value was
45(G50 cents. The mules were not
serio olsl' injured, and Hixon's in
jurieS were very slight. The wagon
was badly damaged, however, aud
they paid him for it and for the loss
OF his apples and time. Had Hixon
not insisted on the county paving him
$500 for the accident. he would prob
ably have gotten $500 without any
difficulty. Lafe Thomas's claim for
$40 for broken hand received while
helping Hixon out OF the creek was
allowed.

Ing the eastern business interests into
the belief that II Bryan is elected the
financial policy of the country will b,
reversed.
Bryan's fatfooted declaration that
Imperialism and not the financial ques-
tion Is the chief issue rather upsets
these calculations. After Bryan's
speech Hanna changed his tune and
declared that the republicans were no.
going to have any walkoyer and that
it would take plenty of money to de-
feat Bryan.
This administration has been a kind
guardian TO all sorts of special inter
ests. There have been no restraining
laws to hamper trusts and even the re-
sources of the treasury have been al
their disposal. On one plea and an
other Hanna is rolling up fine cam
paign fund.
1t worries the republicans though
that there is so much apathy in their
own ranks. Their people don't seem
to take any interest in the Philadelphia
platform. In fact one never hears OF
Il at all.
The business interests Of the country
are beginning to realize that impe-
rialism by unsettling the very founds-
tions of government threatens all sta
bic business. They are beginning to
realize that imperialism must be de-
feated and that no other issue matters
much until that is settled.
The official record OF strikes and
shutting down Of factories reported at
the Federation headquarters in Wash.
ington shows that the alleged mid
summer stagnation is really a reaction
from the republican prosperity which
has been so widely heralded.

issues and deceive the voters have
failed. They must face the verdict on

The rise in the prices Of trust
articles is long way out of proportion
to the rise in the prices of the farmers
products. This is what enables the
trusts to contribute so literally to the

The accumulation of money in the

In a great measure due to the extor'

British war bond issue of 100000
Others are equally anxious, though hav'

notwithstanding the fact that the gov

with no results to show for it. Th,
producing masses are toiling harder
than ever before and receive less re-
turn for their labor than they did a

been increased through arbitrary ad-

A rapid increase in wealth is notice.
able among the privileged ones favored
by class legislation, while the produ.

satisfactory condition than before the
last panic. The much-vaunted pros

tend to the common people, but re-
mains confined to the classes to such
an extent that the immense accumula
tion Of idle money must needs look for
profitable investment abroad. No one
will pretend to say that this is healthy
condition of affairs. When the wealth
of nation becomes concentrated in the
hands of the few to the exclusion OF
the many, when the nonproducing
classes absorb all and leave nothing to
the real wealth producers, the time to
make a radical change in national az
fairs is at hand The legislation which
has created privileges for the few
whereby they are enabled to amass
enormous wealth at the expense of the
