THE statement to the effect that Ger
many is about to impose tariff on
American wheat is just exactly what
might have been expected. This coun-
try imposes high rate Of duty on all
German products, and fair exchange ia
no robbery, all the world over. The
United States can not expect Germany
to admit their products free of duty,
while they lay q heavy tariff on every
thing brought here from that country
But most of the wheat sent from here
to Germany is raised by the farmers o.
the Northwest, aud as nearly all ofthem
voted the high tariff ticket last Novem.
Der, they should bear the pressure with
eQuanimity.

THERE Is DO doubt of the fact that
the dividends paid by the stock COM
panies this year exceeded by many
millions those fanny other year. But
that such was the case does not prove
that the country is prosperous. When
Industries are slack and enterprises
languishiDg, money naturally goes into
stocks, for any rate of interest is better
than none at all. and gold can always
take care OF itself. But little employ
ment and high prices for the neoessaries
of life are any thing else than indica-
tive OF good times.

the latter. But. as many crimes are

BLOCKING TO AMERICA,

During the year just ended 1863. 579
immigrants were landed though the
New York Barge Office. This was an
increase of 90,727 over 1899, which, In
it's turn, was marked by the heaviest
influx OF immigrants to New York
since 1892. The Hebrew immigration
is one-eigntb- Of the total and the great
or percentage OF this class of immi.
grants were Russian Jews. The IRISH,
German and Scandinavian immigration
has fallen off remarkably, and they
were counted among the most desira-
bic classes who sought these shores.
The immigration OF persons from the
French republic never was large at
at New York. Most OF the immigra-
ton at that port now consists OF Itsl-
ians and Austrisns. Included in the
category of Austrians are the Huns,
Slaz. Croatians, Russians, Jews, Mag
vars and Poles.
As rule the greater proportion of them
are lsborers. In November there were
% 900 arrivals, of whom only 120 were
professional men. Almost one half
were lsborers, 1882. including farm
hands and the like; 1886 were women
and children; 1921 we're skilled laborers,
Including mechanics and artisans Of
various kinds. There were two clergy
men, three editors, twenty-five eDei-
neers, two lawyers. twenty-eight mt
sicians, four physicians, twelve sculp-
tors, twenty-one teachers and twenty
one miscellaneous. Of those who or
rived 10 New York in the past six
months 1874 we're deported Immediately
and 166 were deported after one year.
The barge Office authorities there say
that the worst class of immigrants get
in this country by way of Canada, be-
cause the United States has a certain
agreement with Canada which is avail
ed Of by foreigners who live for few
weeks in the Dominion and then cross
into this country.
