hearers that Canadian reciprocity was
an impossibility and he told them whv
it is so. With epigrammatic terseness
he declared:
First, the American people will
never agree to it; and, second. the
Canadian people will never agree to
it"
That is the exact truth of the mat
ter. There would not be much trou-
BILE in making a dicker with Canada
on the basis of free trade in natural
products only. But the farmers of
the United States would balk at that
The farmers of Canada might be will
ing to reciprocate by lowering the
duties in favor of American manufac-
lures. But the Canadian, manufacture
ers would balk at that 1t was well
that Congressman Campbell should
speak right out, and he did:
THE Canadian farmer and the
American manufacturer can probably
see no reason why such a bargain
should not be made. but the American
farmer and the Canadian manufac-
turer see many objections to it, and
will never consent to it,"
1t was also well that the selfish and
should be told that they cannot have
at one and the same time free trade in
raw materials and protection for their
finished products. Said Mr.. Campbell:
1T is impossible to suppose a treaty
with Canada, or any other country
that puts hides upon the free list and
maintains a duty upon leather prod
ucts, or puts wool upon the free list
and protects woolens. The kind of
reciprocity that American manufac-
turers should advocate is reciprocity
with American farmers"
There is a world of hard, practical
sense in this statement. The New
England manufacturer already has the
best kind of reciprocity that he could
possibly have-the reciprocity where
under he buys of the American farmer
his fOOdstuffS and raw materials and
sells to the American farmer his
manufacturer products. In short, pro-
lection reciprocity. Any other kind
of reciprocity would not be good for
the New England manufacturer. If
he should succeed in getting it he

{

Especial Correspondence.)

William Williams, by common ad-
mission about the most efficient COM
missioner of immigration the port of
New York has ever known, the man
who found Ellis island a disorganized
public institution, where immigrants
were poorly fed and roughly handled.
and who transformed what at that
time was about the ugliest property in
all New York into one of the most
beautiful, has relinquished his posi-
ton.
Mr.. Williams had not been on Ellis
island twenty-four hours before he
posted notices everywhere that immi-
grants were to be treated with all
kindness and consideration These lit
tie white sheets of paper were called
notices, but they were, in fact, orders,
and every man and woman employed
on Ellis island was made to under
stand that to disregard them in the
slightest particular meant the offend
er's instant dismissal. From that day
to this the immigrant who lands on
Ellis island has been treated as a hui
man being.
The main structure at Ellis island
is beautiful building. 1t had to be
kept clean, even if it had to be swept
and disinfected hundred times a day,
for that was the Williams way of do
ing things. 1t was not an easy job to
keep such a tremendous establishment
clean, but it was done. Outside the
grounds were cleared of great masses
of debris that for months had made
them so hideous to view. Hedges were
planted and the ground titled and
grass seed sOwn. A landscape garden
er took charge, and to-day one of the
beautiful sights that greets the new
arrival as his ship steams slowly up
New York bay is the flower gardens of
the United States immigration station.
The great accomplishment of Mr..
Williams, however, is the removal of
bad Influences from Ellis island. To
do this charges were promptly formu-
lated against all officials whose con-
duct had not been up to the standard
of the service as promulgated by Mr.
Williams, and the dismissal of these
people quickly followed. The sharks
and the thieves outside the barge Of
fee entrance on Whitehall street were
'cornered, and when they learned the
evidence that the new commissioner
had up his sleeve they lost no time

Not for a Tariff Tear-up.

The free traders and assistant free
traders who were in full cry for an
extra session of Congress to revise
the tariff, and who asserted that Pres
ident Roosevelt was with them, have
given up that belief The President
is willing to be governed by the pre-.
vailing sentiment among Republican
members of Congress, and an over
whelming majority of the Republican
members of Congress believe that tar
if tinkering would be detrimental to
business, and is not wanted by the
people at this time.
What the Presidents heart is set on
is that serious attention shall be Civ
en- to the subject of railway rate
abuses, and that effective measures
be taken for the abolition of rebates
and discrimination in all forms He
knows that the way to secure reforms
is to concentrate upon one at a time,
and he believes that this reform is
the one of which there is most urgent
need.-Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Suspicious.

1t is suspicious fact that many of
the journals persistently demanding
tariff revision are violently opposed to
railroad regulation. They are clamor-
ously asserting that the only way to
get at the trusts is through the tar
if, but they advertise their dishonesty
when they oppose all attempts to regu-
late those trusts not affected by tar
if schedules. If they were sincere
they would hold up the hands of the
President in his effort to reach the
greatest of all combinations in re-
straint of trade-the big railway cor

To-day these barges have been re

That the immigration problem car

in force, and those that are under con-
sideration can be faithfully and eff
GENTLY executed, is the opinion of Mr..
Williams, who said the other day:
Excluding UndesirabIes.
"A strict execution of our present
laws makes it possible to keep out
what may be termed the worst riff
raft of Europe-paupers, diseased per-
sons and those likely to become pub
lie charges-and to this extent these
laws are most valuable. Without a
proper execution of the same, how
ever, it is safe to say that thousands
of additional aliens would have come
here last year. But these laws do not
reach a large body of immigrants,
who, while not riff-raff, are yet gener-
ally undesirable, because unintelligent,
of low vitality, of poor physique, able
to perform only the cheapest kind of
manual labor, desiring to locate al
most exclusively in the cities, by their
competition tending to reduce the
standard of living of the American
wage-woker, and untitled, morally or
mentally, for good citizenship.
1T would be impossible to state ac-
curately what proportion of last years
immigration should be classed as 'un-
desirable 1 believe that at least
100000, and probably more, aliens
came here who, although they may be
able to earn a living, yet are not want
ed, will be of no benefit to the coun-
try, but will, on the contrary, be
detriment. because their presence will
tend to lower our standards, and if
these 100000 persons could have been
induced to stay at home, nobody, not
even those clamoring for labor, would
have missed them. Their coming has
been of benefit chiefly, if not only, to
the transportation companies which
brought them here.

Protecting the Newly Landed.
The missionary problem was one of
the most delicate handled by Mr. Will
Jams, but ne did his work without
gloves and won every fight. He drew
a sharp distinction between the true
missionary who sincerely desired to
help the unfortunates who come to
our shores. and those who, under the
guise of charity, were really on the
island from instincts that were purely
commercial.
These commercial missionaries Mr.
Williams caught before they realized
what was coming. One of them, the
head of one of the most prominent of
the church immigrant organizations,
got his walking papers in letter in
which the commissioner declared the
policy that he has since followed in
such cases. The agent of another
home was also debarred, and a great
prelate in New York was asked to
give his assistance in eradicating evils
existing in the management of an in
stitution operated under the auspices
of his denomination. To-day there are
no fake missionaries on Ellis island
Early in his commissionership Mr.
Williams began study OF the way in
which the steamship companies did
business on the other side He learned
that in many instances the medical
examination of immigrants to ascer-
tain their physical ability to pass the
American law was lax indeed, and
that the moral requirements of the law
