Where Interests are Mutual.

The press dispatches inform us that a
determined effort will be made by some
of the business interests OF the country
to prevent any act on the part of the
next congress, looking to renewal of
the Chinese exclusion act. We are Of
ten told that the interests of the en-
ployer and employe are mutual. If
this is so, and it is to the interest of the
manufacturing or employing class to ad-
nit to this country Chinese laborers to
take the places OF higher priced white
laborers, then the said white laborers
will undoubtedly derive untold blessings
from the importation OF the Mongolians.
Perhaps the employing classes figure
that large influx OF the brown and
yellow laborers will give many poor,
tired, overworked white man a chance
to take Il much needed vacation.

Demand For Socialist Literature.

As to the growing demand for Social
list literature, some idea may be gained
by knowledge Of the size OF the plants
required by some OF the publications.
The Appeal to Reason, one of the many
Socialist papers now published in the
United States, has in its plant Goss
perfecting web newspaper machine, a
Century four-roller book press, Job
presses, fiat and curved stereotype ma
chinery, two gas engines, one ten and
one six horsepower, paper cutter, wire
stitching machine, two linotypes, its
own electric plant, tons of type, one
thousand galleys, seven type writer's and
everything to correspond to make up a
great plant. 1t has its own steam heat
ed building and carries four to seven cars
OF paper in its warehouse. When a
movement requires plant Of that char
acter to furnish the demand for litera-
ture, it means something more than a
passing fad.
