The Dangers OF immigration.

The question OF immigration Is now
receiving attention from many sources
and was the subject OF one Of the ablest
ana mos, entertaining papers read before
The Farmers National Congress IN Its
late session in Richmond. The paper
was read by Mr.. Robert Dec. Ward, OF
Cambridge MASS. and he said, among
pther things, that our present law makes
IL possible for thousands OF immigrants
10 land every year who are not likely
Ia be benefit, but an injury who are
weak ard sickly, and who have come
because they are inveighed into huying q
ma ssage ticket by a steamship agent or
given a ticket by charitable society
I'm order that they may become a charge
pron the United States rather than their
nome country, He added that II farmers
regarded the welfare Of their country
instead OF considering only their own
financial gain, they would insist upon
q having none but honest, Industrious,
3 healthy and 1T Immigrants

II is a puzzle to many people why u IS
SO hard to hang man In the United

cause is to be found In the commercial
spirit OF Americans who set a higher
value upon live man than upon n dead
man. When q man has been murdered,
he is dead and gone; and there is no way
Of bringing him back to life. Therefore.
the average American asks himself what
