The riae OF undes,raple Imm.grant

The Tide OF Undesirable Immigrants.
Immigration statistics for the past
fiscal year. lately made public by
the chief of the immigration bureau,
have caused renewed demands In the
press Of the country for prohibitive. or
at least restrictive. legislation, and nc
doubt the subject will receive early at.
tention in the coming congress.
The note OF alarm expressed is not
due 10 the numbers of immigrants
5T,046 In the past year-but TO the
large proportion of undesirables among
the new arrivals. Ten years ago Italy
Austria Hungary and Russia sent us
but 71.0O0 immigrants. while $4,000
came from England, Ireland and Ger
many. Last year the immigration from
Russia, Italy and Austria Hungary
reached total of 6T2.0o0. while the
desirable element, composed of Ger
mans, English and Irish, fell to 100000
With alien arrivals at our ports In.
creasing at the rate Of quarter Of a
million a year. more than two-thirds

our population. it would seem to be

wan street and enc Country.


Whatever may happen among the
bricks and stones of Wall street. the
country at large is not likely to suffer
materially. Speculative disturbances
I'm New York cannot upset the solid
basis Of wealth in the country. Agri-
culture flourishes without regard to the
quotations ON the ticker. The range of
prices of securities may have this or
that relation to their real value. but
the grain goes on growing. and the live
stock keep ON fattening. All of this is
eminently satisfying to Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson. who tersely re-
marks:
II believe the country will continue
TO enjoy its prosperity. because l be-
lieve the whole system rests upon agri-
culture"
With an abundant yield of all the
great food staples the country has
much to sell, and there are foreign mar
kets hungry for its products. OF our
exports, 62.72 per cent are from the
farms That contribution TO the
worlds table yields and will continue
10 yield its tribute in freight for car
rage from field TO port.
While speculative fortunes may
dwindle and fade, the real wealth OF
the country goes on increasing. In
1898 the aggregate money in this coun-
try WINS $2073.000,OO0. In five years
this sum has grown to $2,6SS.O00.0 700.
Cash I'm the banks I'm 1902 was $780,
100000. an increase in ten years OF
$253. OO0, 600 American farmers in 1890
owned $4o4. 100000 OF implements and
machinery. In 1900 this form of wealth
had grown to $T61. 100000 The farm
ers' products in 1890 were worth ST.
100000. 600; in 1000 their value was $4,-
739.0O0.000 simultaneously the fac
tories are busy. Their output increased
last year $1.950.o00,OO0 in value over
the previous year. and they paid out
$3.50. 0O0. 600 more I'm wages.
1t is these fundamental facts that
give the country serenity and security
while the stock manipulators, who
have been sowing to the wind. are reap
ing the whlrlwind. The country at large
Is not particularly disturbed by the
antics of Wall street

HAVANA, May 1.-THE clothing, shoe,
hat and hardware dealers in Santa Clara.
Cienfuegos Remedies and Sanct Spiritus
have closed their stores as protest against
the taxes imposed by the councils OF the
provinces in which they are situated.
Among the new taxes proposed IL one Of
ten cents on each pair Of shoes sold. which,
1t was estimated. would yield revenue Of
$4,000 in three months; and another Of
ten cents on each hat sold Of the value OF
sixty cents In Spanish silver, which, II was
calculated, would give the provincial treas
uries $4,000 quarter.
The councils have also levied q taxNon
patent medicines similar to that imposed In
Havana which led to tho closing Of the drug
stores here, only the tax imposed In the other
provinces is a graduated one. As a result
of this the drug stores have stopped selling
patent medicines on which the tax had to
be paid. A tag Of five cents has bean i'm
posed on every toy that costs over Atty
cents
The clothing and hardware dealers closed
their stores in sympathy with the other
merchants.
