IOWA IDEA IN THE SENATE.
Sioux Falls Press.

Senator Dolliver was bold enough to at
tack the Dingley schedules in the house
of its friends the other day and when he
closed his sledge hammer speech he was
not congratulated by his party leaders in
the senate. They were cold and unre-
sponsive, though it is stated that Senator
Allison smiled in a vague way upon him.
Mr.. Dolliver assaied the senate for its
failure to ratify reciprocity treaties and
said reciprocity was much a. part
of the tariff policy of Mr.. Dingley as the
schedules themselves. Mr.. Dolliver has
established himself a leader in tariff re-
form. The Iowa idea has broken into the
senate. .-~a

Stream Of Immigration.

During 1902 there arrived at the port
of New York 545,751 immigrants; perhaps
100000 arrived during the year at other
ports, making a total immigration of
100000 This figure would not include
immigrants from Canada and Mexico, of
whom no record is kept. Contrary to the
inference from the large immigration Of
Americans into western Canada, there is
still a very important movement OF Ca
nadians into the United States: At any
rate, the number Of immigrants reaching
this country last year was greater than
for any year in the history Of the repub-
lie, except 1882, when '7s9,0O0 oversee
immigrants annexed themselves to the
United States. Ii
So much fear has been expressed in
recent years regarding the changed char
acter of our new citizens that it Ii pleas
ant to find another view. In the Popular
Science Monthly for January, A. j. Nc
I.aughlin presents such a view, Though ii
is not altogether optimistic. He finds the
chief justification Of practically unre-
stricted immigration in the Unsuitable de-
mand Of this colossal nation for common
1aborers. This class is, and must con
tinue to be, largely composed Of foreign
born men, because one generation in
America usually fits for better things
American labor has nothing to fear from
unskilled foreign labor, but 1t has, Mr.
Mclaughlin thinks. something to feal
from skilled immigrant labor with lower
standard OF living than that OF the Amer
lean. The great bulk Of immigrants OF
the supposedly Objectionable kinds are un-
skilled.
AS for fear Of introduction Of loatbsome
and contagious: diseases there is little
danger under the present laws, as per.
sons suffering from them rarely escape
the vigilance Of the emigration officials
and are returned to their own countries
It is encouraging to notice, too, that the
siav and Magyar Immigrants, who now
constitute SO aree portion 81 the I'M
migration, are very healthy people. only

sieve which admits only immigrants who
have two strong arms, sound body and
stout heart Mr.. Mclaughlin urges a.
an objection to an addition to the sieve
Of q law that will keep out illiterates that
it would tend to exclude many Of that
physically strong, unskilled class we need
SO much. The illiterates, Mr.. McIaugh-
lin, thinks, can be better guarded against
by jealous precautions TO protect citizen
ship, rather than by the exclusion of mer
who better themselves and the country by
entering its Industries. A provision as to
illiteracy would have the advantage ol
greatly reducing the total number of inn
migrants and thus permit Of a more rigid
examination Of those who do come. On

Eentina wheat importers in Liverpool are
slow to anticipate their wants, and will
naturally hold of as long as possible.
During the week there was evidence that
there was wheat needed abroad for Inn
mediate use. At present 1t looks as If
there would be demand from Liverpool
for good American wheat in any event.
while if it should develop that the Ar
gentina crop ID not so large or the quality
not 50 good as has been figured upon, the
demand for American wheat would be
great, At this time the situation is very
strong. rA&s

The revenue marine service flag a,l-

was originally prescribed to Consist Of
sixteen perpendicular stripes, alternate
red and white, the union of the ensign
bearing the arms of the United States in
dark blue on a white field The sixteen
stripes represented the number of states
which had been admitted to the union at
that time, and no change has been made
since. Prior to 1871 it bore an eagle in
the union Of the pennant, which was then
substituted by thirteen blue stars in a
white field, but the eagle and stars arc
still retained in the flag.
