THE IMMIGRATION MENACE.

Too often do the American people in carrying Tout there ideas of a free country overlook the evils likely to grow out of a too 'open door policy" with regard to immigration. Not only is the subject one that has likely caused careful study on the part of the lead ing minds of this-country, but in Europe there is a growing opinion that the United States is menacing her people by allowing it. Rev. D. Charles F. Aked, the pastor of one of the largest Presbyterian churches in London, thus describes the immensity of the immi- grafton policy as he sees it:
 It is not for me to lecture you about Americans conditions. It is for me to lealn from you what they are But the most thoughless onlooker from the old world, who has ever read a page of history, knows that, in the rush to your shores of millions upon millions of the European peoples, you are confronted by problem such as no man has yet had to solve since history began. I read the figures which set this problem visi- ply before the eyes of men, and 1 am lost in amazement. Then as the facts behind the figures begin to take shape and substance, my brain reels before that immensity.
 ''You know what races of the old world are pouring themselves into your land. You know that colonies of peo- pie, separated from yourselves by thought, by feeling, by tradition, by religion, by language, are established within your city boundaries and in all the great cities of the land. This is an enthic question, a race question. It is question as to the kind of people the American people is to become. It is question whether the primal Ameri- can stock is to be vitated by the inter permeation of an inferior race. It is something still nearer; it is natural question, aquestion of political equili- brium, of the stability of social order and sovereignty"

Comment of the Commercial
Agencies Upon the Pres
ent Situation.
THE SCARE IN NEW YORK.
cENTERS OF IRON PRODUCTION
REPORT THAT THERE HAVE
BEEN NO CANCELLATIONS
COTTON MILLS BUSY.

New York. Oct. 26.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Trade and industry have tended to-
ward quiet in sympathy with reports
of financial unsettlement at New York
and few other cities; the continu-
ance of mid weather, affecting as it
seasonable slowing down of jobbing
trade and the influence upon retail
trade and collections of the continu-
ance of the holding movement of
crops. On the other hand the finan-
cial situation at New York, generally
speaking, seems TO be well in hand;
the New York banks. under courag
eous and experienced leadership, are
meeting conditions as they arise with
discretion; recent declines in prices
of cereals and cotton have encouraged
foreign demand for the country's pro-
duct; the holding of cotton, great
exchange-making medium, is showing
some signs of relaying, and lowered
prices of domestic commodities lead
to the hope that the demand of a pros
porous country, affected by the unduly
high level of some commodities, will
revive.
The Dun Agency.
New York, Oct 26.-R G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Monetary pressure eliminated this
week in the closing of several banking
institutions, but a severe panic was
averted by the prompt action of Mr..
Morgan, who assumed the leadership
of a movement to strengthen the sit
uation. The formation of a trust COM
pany committee similar to the clearing
house committee also helped to re-
store confidence.
1t is encouraging to note in dispat-
ches from Pittsburg and other centers
of iron and steel that no cancellations
have been received and that specifi-
cations on old contracts maintain ac-
tivity at most mills and furnaces.
Cotton mills have orders so far
ahead that current events produce
little effect, but there is an evident
indisposition by buyers to operate in
the future.
New England footwear manufacture
ers report trade quiet. Wholesalers
are doing a good business, but are
