SELFISH. COWARDLY.
Words Which Express President EIiot's
Views of Exclusion Policy.

Boston, Dec. 16.-In an address be-
fore the Economic club of Boston,
President Charles w. Eliot OF Harvard
speaking on Immigration, said:

doctrine. of contract labor exclusion.

have got into the good trades, want to
keep out all the new corners from those
trades. Mr.. GOmperS the other day in
New York, opposed the admission Of
Chinese students and educated travel.
es on the ground that Chinese coolies
might smuggle themselves into the
country IN that disguise. I want to pro-
test against that line of argument that
we should try to keep out new arrivals
because our earnings viii be reduced.
That is not the real danger Have
wages fallen in the last fifty years or
risen? Yet immigrants have been
coming by the millions. Our labOring
class-if I may use such a term-hold
a very unmannerly opinion about the
new corners. They have not confidence
enough in their own superiority re-
sulting from their own advantages We
ought to have profound confidence
from our own experience on this soil
of the trustworthy effects Of freedom
for every man.

anybody, either in education, religion

Bradstreet's.
Bradstreet's says:

Bradstreetis says:
Holiday trade has absorbed attention
this week and reports from all over the
country are unanimous that all records
for this stage of this season have been
surpassed. In retail trade proper there
is some complaint of mild weather re-
tarding sales of heavy clothing and foot
wear. Wholesale trade is quiet except
where liberal orders for holiday goods
have reached jobbers from the retail
ers. The usual end of the year inyen-
tories are being prepared for by first
hands, while jobbers are making some
special sales Of goods adanted to the
season. Spring trade reports thus far
are satisfactory.
Manufacturing industry is still as
active as ever, notable in this respect
being iron and steel, but new buying Of
the cruder forms, such as pig iron, is
less active. Finished products note no
diminution in demand and certainly no
reduction in high premiums paid for
prompt deliveries. particularly of struc-
turaI material. Mild weather has IA
vored freer shipments Of coal from
mines and retarded consumption, thus
helping dealers to provide against win

scarce, special COMPLAINT being made

tunity- to see what the japanese are
like. See what an exhibition they have
given us in physical strength and
power in their mastery of the art of
war. They actually taught the English
how to fight a naval battle. No fleet
in the world ever made such intelligent
preparations for battle as the surgeons
of TOgo's fleet. And witness the intel

Holiday Trade Has Never Before
Been Equaled.
There Has Been Also a Steady
Movement in Staples.
HIGHER WAGE SCALES.
Are Announced in Many Places
for January /.
These Are Voluntary on the
Part of the Employers.

New York, Dec. 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Holiday trade has become the
principal feature, retail sales sur
passing all records, while it has been
found necessary to place liberal sup
Elemental orders. Yet this activity in
speeialties detracts little from the
steady movement of staples. and in
jobbing and manufac curing depart
ments there is unprecedented prepa-
ration for the spring season. Little
machinery is idle, and the outlook for
the future is frightened by several
announcements of higher wage scales
to become effective January I. These
are in every instance voluntary on the
part of the employers, and one con
Germ will thereby distribute about 81, =
100000 more per annUm. Building
activities are scareelysr retarded by the
advancing season, new permits being
constantly granted and dealers IN some
materials find their stocks nearing ex~
haustion. Railway earnings steadily
show gains over last years figures for
December, thus far exceeding those of
1904 by "A per cent Foreign com
merce returns for November made a
much better exhibit as to exports than
was expected, partly because of the
outgo of breadStufs, which surpassed
all monthly records for over two years

ports were valued at $3.S42,8 $50 more

Two gratifying features are noted
in reports regarding the iron and steel
industry. New business continues to
come forward, raising theGate OF pro-
duction above all previous records,
while conservati sn1 prevails as to
quotations, and there is still no evil
dence of the reckless imitation that has
brought a sudden setback in SO many
previous periods of similar activity.
Basic production shows no indication
of surprising requirements. Yet the
higher prices for cotton goods natur-
ally produce a little hesitation among
buyers, and contracts for future deliv-
cry are somewhat restricted.
As to WOODEN goods, the mems wear
season is opening slowly on lines for
next fall and the only urgency comes
from the past seasons unsatisfactory
deliveries.

sidering the seasOnable deterioration in

Paris. Dec. 16.-John G. Mccall.
son of John A. Mccall, president OF
the New York Life Insurance COM
panv. who came to Paris for the pur-
pose of having Andrew Hamilton, the
former confidential legislative repre-
sentative of the insurance company at
Albany, accompany him back to New
York, sailed alone today on the steam
er La Lorraine from Havre. Mr.. Nc
call took with him Mr.. Hamilton's re-
port concerning his connection with
the insurance company's affairs. The
following statement was furnished
from an authoritative source:
''Mr. Mccall found upon his arrival
here that Mr.. Hamilton was under the
care of DR.. Rivera, a famous special
isl. Mr.. Mccall delayed his departure
at Mr.. Hamilton's request in order to
see if the treatment would enable Mr..
Hamilton to return, but the doctor
finally stated that the trip Mr.. Hamil-
ton contemplated and his return to
business would surely be followed by
a serious illness. Therefore absolute
rest for several months viii be neceS-
sary. In lieu of his return Mr.. Hamil-
ton has prepared and sent a full and
explicit statement covering his con-
nection with the affairs of the insur-
ance company"
It is understood that Mr.. Hamilton s
response to the legislative committee
takes the form of going over the en-
/ tire ground of the Investigation. Both
| Mr.. Mccall and Mr.. Hamilton de
clined to go into details OF the report

mittee. However, it is clear that the
report was taken to the United States
