The IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS an interested reader OF your
esteemed daily newspaper permit me 70
present my views on the matter of 'Cnde-
sirable Aliens" about which one OF your
readers, who signs himself a Descendant
OF 1856" is so enthusiastic. OF course. the
immigration question OF the United States
causes alarm to many narrow minded peo-
pie. who imagine that the tremendous In
hUx of foreigners viii cause congestion 10
the point of discomfort The almost I'M
limited resources and the many advantages
which this great country affords are often
lost sight or.
Taking a broader view Of the matter, one
should consider that all men are entitled
to any advantages which the earth has in
store for the thrifty and Industrious, and
that Americans have no more right TO deny
willing workers admission to the United
States than the Germans. the French, the
English or the italians have to deny will
ing workers admission to their countries.
The earth belongs TO mankind as a body
The duty of good Americans who seek
the welfare Of their country IS to help en-
act laws and seek other proper means for
distributing the wealth Of the land, and not
concentrating it for the benefit OF a few;
TOT IhSIe are l0HSIA' Oi0e'A@iA '1AAN
10 the resources OF the country II properly
distributed.
If your correspondent would only lay
less stress on the fact that he is de
scendant of 1856 and simply desired TO
become an active factor of 1910. he would
work for the election OF Congressman who
would pledge their support to tariff re-
vision and the dissolution Of trusts.

BRITISH LABOR DISPUTES.

The widespread and disastrous labor
troubles which now prevail in the United
Kingdom demonstrate that last years
somewhat notable freedom from such
disturbances was indeed. as was feared,
the proverbial calm before the storm. It
is true that there was about the aver
age number OF strikes and lockoutS last
year and that a larger number of per-
sons was involved in them than i'll any
other year since 1894. Yet they were as
a rule of such brief duration that COM
paratively little time was lost. About
Gl; per cent were settled within month
and ~ per cent within week. These
circumstances made the loss from
strikes decidedly smaller than usual.
Seeing that the troubles were so
speedily ended, it is of interest TO OBJ
serve the means Of settlement which
were employed. In the total of 436
eases no fewer than 271 were settled by
direct negotiation. which is obviously
preferable TO any other method. Arbi-
tration was successfully employed in
only %. and conciliation or mediation
in So Ia II cases the working people
yielded uncOnditionally to the employ
ers. and in 30 the strikers were replaced
with other laborers. Closing of the
works was resorted TO in nine cases,
while five remained unsettled.
There was about the usual proportion
of disputes over the employment Of non
unionists and other matters pertaining
to labor union rules and principles, in a
majority of which the unions were Sue
cesSful. 1t seems certain. however, that
the number of union disputes is increas-
ing. not as between union and nOn-union
labor. but between different factions 90
unionlstS It is. indeed. largely because
Of these latter differences that the pres
ent vast disturbances have arisen, and
that fact may be interpreted by some
persons as OminOus for trade .uniOnism.
The unions have for years dominated
the industry of the kingdom. but now a
spirit OF disSension is arising among
them which may destroy their power.
From their point OF view that is the
serious feature of the situation.

say. that is the chosen home of free

adopts a scientific system of protective

1t would be folly to ignore the meaning
of il. There may indeed still be few

economics with the enunciation of the

overlook the significance of the fact that
practically all nations but one have now
specifically renounced or rejected Cobden-
ism. and that In what is immcasurabIy

{ DITCH TARIFE.

The expectations concerning the fiscal
policy of the Netherlands which were
expressed in these columns a short time
ago are now being practically fulfilled.
1t was understood that the late cleo
tions in that country were fought chiefly
ola the issue of tariff reform and
that if the tariff refOrmers won, as
seemed probable, bill for replacing
free trade with a rational measure of
protection would promptly he intro
duced in Parliament and pressed 10
enactment That course is being fol-
lowed. The elections showed an unmis-
taxable popular demand for tariff re-
form. and low a protective tariff bill has
been prepared with the scientific thor
oughness which Is characteristic of the
Dutch. II will doubtless be enacted, and
thus Holland will join the great ma
jority Of pr0tectionist lands, leaving
the British Athanasius standing alone
against the world as tile sole consider
able champion OF CobdeBism.

NR. TAFTS SPEECH.

President Taft's speech before the Ma
tionsl Republican League will be of great
assistance to the Republican cause in the
coming campaign throughout the country.
4 review OF the work of his administra-
tion so far as it has gone should silence
all critics and convert all doubters. The
list of achievements is remarkable. 1t
is sufficient to say that no other PresI-
dent was ever successful in getting
through Congress such programme Of
legislation as Mr.. Taft had passed at the
last session. When both the amount and
the character Of this work are consid-
cred it is impossible to perceive any
basis for that dissatisfaction with the
Republican party TO which Mr.. Taft al
luded when he said.
1t is possible IN such a government as
ours to lose deserved popular approval
through misrepresentation and misun-
derstanding. But mistakes Of this kind
aTe not permanent.
Mr.. Taft's has been emphatically an
administration which gets things done.
and what it has accomplished has been
of progressive character. The President
siye quality of the legislation passed and
proposed but it is absurd that il should
be necessary for him 10 be so. The
measures adopted and those already in
prospect speak for themselves. The rail
road law passed last winter carries rail
road regulation years ahead of where il
was at the beginning OF his administra-
iion. The conservation measures on his
programme present 4 we'll defined pol
icy of conservation aS advanced as
the most ardent conServatiOnist could
wish. These are only illustrations Of the
thoroughly progressive tendency of the
Republican party under Mr.. Taft. The
rest OF the record is all OF the same char
acter. The policies outlined for the fut-
ure are in keeping with those whose
adoption he has already secured. And
the adoption Of those already accepted is
an earnest OF the coming acceptance Of
those that are simply proposed. The
duiet. patient skill which obtained the
passage OF the railway legislation will
procure the enactment OF Il progressive
conservation policy into law. and will
bring about the amendment of the tariff
law. section 10y section. aS the necessary
Information upon which TO base amend
ments is collected by the Tariff Commits
sion.
The spirit with which Mr.. Taft has
entered upon the correction Of the tariffs
defects may he perceived in these words
Of his:
have authorized the chairman Tof the
Tariff ComnissionI to make a public
statement Of the purposes and methods
Of the commission, but / have directed
him not % make that statement until
after the election, because, in SO far as
possible, I desire the Tariff Commission
from its very inception to be kept free
from the vicissitudes of partisan poll
tics. SO that il will gain the respect and
the confidence of the whole country, re-
gardless of party lines.
The applause with which that state
ment WAS greeted by his auditors on Sat
urday was heartily deserved.
