WHAT OTHER PEOPLE TayNK
Cheap Immigrant Rates.
Editor of Tho Journal rs-.

10 Inc EQ1COr OF Inc JOURNAL
We note with much interest your edi-
torial entitled Cheap Immigrant Rates
and the Consequences In order to put
the matter straight before the public, we
would respectfully ask you to quote the
following, which is an extract from an in
terview with Frank P. Sargent commits
sioner general of immigration:
"Altho the rate war will result this
June in a higher percentage of deporta-
tons than in any other month in the his
tory Of the department, no one need be
afraid that any undesirable lot Of immi-t
grants will be dumped into the United
States, since not one loophole is open for
the undesirable. The laws set a standard,
which is maintained under all conditions.
Unless a person comes up to that STAN
dard he or she cannot come in. Ellis
Island may be damned with the scum and
riffraff of the world, but they will never
reach the mainland. They will go back,
and the only. persons to suffer will be the
steamship companies, for they have to re-
turn the undesirable passengers at their
own expense.
THAT the cheap rate has affected the
general character Of the immigrants who
apply for admission to the country must
be acknowledged, we have found that
since the cut began the number of cases
for special inquiry has increased fully
20 per cent, which means a corresponding
increase in the number to be deported
'"The principal objection to the immf-
grants detained now for special inquiry
is that they have not sufficient money,
nor have they friends In this country to
vouch for them. Undoubtedly the cheap
rates have been advertised all over
Europe and many who could not come
under other conditions, have turned every
thing they possessed into money to buy a
ticket to this country. We have many
cases of this kind, where the Immigrant
frankly acknowledges that the cheap rate
induced him to come. Somehow he must
have got the idea that the cheap rate
mission, or else took the chance If no one
assures us that they will not become pub
lie charges they must go back. -
While undoubtedly, as quoted in Mr..
Sargent's report, there will be marked
increase in the number deported. we still
maintain that the benefits of the low rates
now effective will be in a much greater
degree, thru the influx of desirable people,
| and it is no argument to belittle or dis
parage the larger number Of the desirable,
because a very small percentage of foreign
'foaters saw fit, either for the novelty
of the trip or the opportunity of going
cheaDly to America, to take advantage
also of the nominal rate resultant from
the fierce steerage rate war. We might
just as reasonably state that because
there are low rates to ST. Louis, everybody
| who buys a cheap excursion ticket is more
| OF less degrade whereas it is matter
OF fact that the low rate enables hundreds
of thousands of medium well-to-do people
to make the trip, which they would other
| wise have to forego

What a Little Reciprocity Work

Remembering how emphatic and
even arrogant the standpatters were
for many months prior to the conven-
ton, it is deeply significant that the
republican national convention should
concede so much as it has to the more
liberal tariff sentiment
The platform comedies that public
interest may at times demand the re-
vision of the tariff-nothing is said
about tariff schedules being sacred
With no instructions except a defini-
ton of the protective principle to be
kept in mind in revising the tariff the
whole question is entrusted "to re-
publican congress and a republican
president
AS to reciprocity the platform says:
We have extended widely our foreign
markets, and we believe in the adoption
of all practicable methods for their fur
Their extension, including commercial
reciprocity wherever reciprocal arrange
ments can be effected consistent with the
principles of protection, and without in
jury to American agriculture, American
labor or any American industry.
This declaration is a distinct con-
cession to the reciprocity sentiment
of the country, tho it is somewhat
blemished by one of those impossible
qualifications that platform makers
think they must make, on their
theory that platforms are made to
conceal party intentions rather than
to formulate them. It is absolutely
impossible to alter any tariff schedule
up or down by direct revision or by
reciprocity without affecting adversely
some industry. Tariff legislation, like
all other, must be shaped with a view
to the Interest Of majority of the
people, and it is not conceivable that
the republican PLATFORM makers really
meant that a needed tariff revision or
reciprocity treaty is to be refused be-
cause it would injure some American
industry
Those believers in revision and reci-
procity who have worked so hard to
get the republican party into a sane
and progressive position on the tariff
nave reason to be satisfied. Their
work has been far from fruitless. Most
of the credit for this good work be-
longs to the organizations that have
