the fluctuations in the wholesale

commerce and labor. and II appears
that the average wholesale prices OF

prices for the period. and 20.5 per

decade from 1900 to 1890.

The Kind OF Aliens Wanted Here.
There Is little doubt that the MAORI
y OF immigrants who have settled in
this country since the war days have
materially bettered their condition
Their prosperity has added to the gen.
eral prosperity. Success has given
them an interest in their new home,
and they have tried to be worthy Of
their good fortune We can have no
quarrel with such newcomers at any
time, and there cannot be too many Of
that sort But as President Roosevelt
said recently In his speech to the navy,
1T IL our undoubted right to say what
people. what persons, shall come to
this country TO live, to work. to be-
come citizens" The becoming citizens
In the most important Of all, and 1t Is
on this point that immigrants often
make a mistake.
At present It is best perhaps that no
aliens are wanted here who do not
intend TO become citizens. There Is
no scarcity OF labor and no need Of
adding to the number OF workmen.
Distribution win even up things and
get workers for every job. job for
every worker. Aliens seem to have
taken the hint, and as many are going
home as are coming here. The kind
who find that they are insists are go
Ing back. They win serve as a warn
Ing to the wrong kind 10 keep AWAY
from America. We have plenty Of ma
tives here who are not the kind to "go
west" The old world has millions OF
that kind. Let them stay at home.
Let those come who know what they
viii be up against here. who have
means OF self support and capital for
the time OF need. who can contribute
to the prosperity they want a share in
and viii leave the prosperity they do
create as an asset of the community
that welcomes them. Our opportuni-
ties cost too much to become the foot
ball for every adventurer.
