States against the tampering with
Braun's mail? He IS expected IN the
north of Europe on the 18th, but will
probably await the outcome of this
peculiar tangle." # - =: -.
It is the custom of the department
Of commerce and labor to print the
reports Of its various commissioners
and agents in the annual report of the
commissioner in chief. .aa ::.::ss..z -
a. Only portion of Mr.. Braun's papers
appeared in this years report. They
were not even given to the senate.
They were simply turned over by Com
missioner Sargent, copies were laid on
the presidents desk and then they
were apparently pigeon-holed, as moth
ing has been heard from them since.
Grave Dangers to This Country.
Following are interesting extracts
from Mr.. Braun's report
1.-TWO grave dangers threaten the
people of the United States from the
present emigration movement. The
first Of these, and the one more i'm
mediate in it's possible effects, is the
danger of diseases such as are common
to the masses Of the people in many
European countries, but which are as
yet comparatively unknown in the
United States. The second grave dan
ger referred to is the dumping by
European countries >of their paupers
and dependents upon the American
people. - =, r. ,E-....> -. +
THAT this danger is Il tangible is
shownssin the fact. that ! majority. of
the Hdeportations are for the reason
that the persons involved 3 are likely
to. become public charges. The annual
reports Of the bureau showing the
amount of money possessed by each
immigrant when he lands demonstrate
the fact that a= very small. percentage
have sufficient means on their arrival
to guarantee self-support unit; able to-
create an sincome. Whether possessed
of resources In the shape of relatives
and friends or not, 1t is evident that
the ignorant foreigner must possess
unusual energy and persistence or else
be blessed with unusual good fortune
to avoid q condition Immediately sub
.sequent to his arrival where he is like
aly Ito need public or2sprivate1 charity:
But for the prompt action of the
bureau in deporting number OF, per-
sons whose passages to the United
States were paid by charitably inclined
people, relief organizations, or even By
official bodies having charge Of the
poor, there would have been q general
movement throughout Europe TO ship
ally native paupers " to the United
States as the easiest way in which
to relieve the communities On. which
they now constitute a burden. Such
az movement actually. obtained some
Roadway in England with the opening
of the recent rate war between the
8 Atlantic steamship lines, and during
the interval between the first sale sSof
tickets at reduced rates and the &C.
tion OF the American authorities in de-
porting such assisted persons. 3 i:
