IMMIGRATION SLUMP PUZZLES
Records Show Big Falling Off in Ar
rivals Last Year While Outgoing
Ships Were Loaded.

One OF the greatest slumps in Inn
migration ever recorded at the port OF
New York was written into the rec
ords at Ellis Island during the closing
days of last year. The records show
that nearly 100000 fewer immigrants
landed there last year than for the
corresponding period in 1910, and
Commissioner Williams declares that
there was a reduction of 30 per cent.
or more from 1910 figures for the
year. The incoming tide of humanity
is lower now than at any time since
1908.
With the tide at it's ebb, every snip
leaving for Europe is crowded as never
before. One vessel sailing the other
day left 500 steerage passengers on
the wharf because of inability to find
accommodations aboard for them. Dur.
ing the first ten days of December,
1910. 1906 third-class passengers
sailed for Europe; last year the num-
Der was 25.245 Outbound vessels car
ried nearly so per cent more third
class passengers last year than be-
fore
The decrease may mean one OF
several things" said Mr.. Williams. "rt
may mean that industrial conditions
here are much disturbed 1t may mean
that third-class passengers are more
prosperous and are going to and fro
more than usual, or that the long
looked-for ebb in the tide has come.
Personally, ! don't know what it
means"

preparations are being made for the
moving of the offices from one side
of the square to the other, it is not
thought probable, as some one sug-
gested, that the newly appointed dip
lomat is anticipating recall due to
the passport Issue which is now be-
ing agitated in this country.

Mrs. William F. Draper, widow of the

ception will be given at the embassy
Immediately after its future occupants

Dismiss LOGS Employees.

The dismissal OF l,025 clerks from
the census bureau the other day was
marked by humor and pathos. Cards
from the sorting machines were scat
tered over the rooms. while many of
the men marched IN lock step through
the corridors. and still others formed
groups with the women to sing God
BE With Us TIL We Meet Again
A general feeling of resentment was
manifest among the clerks. and it may
have been on this account that Di.
rector e. Dana Durand took the pre-.
caution to have the pay tellers booth
surrounded by chiefs OF divisions and
all of the available watchmen.
Lack OF funds was the cause OF the

THE TARIFF.

In the coming campaign the under

parties will be definitely end clearly

is destructive and demoralizing to
every right and interest Of the Amer

reform and deduction which is essen
tial to the prosperity and happiness
of the people and to the growth and
expansion of American commerce and
industry
To charge that democratic tariff re-
form will be detrimental to American
wealth producers and wage earners,
whether on the farm or in the factory,
is to talk cant and hypocrisy. The re-

but in the circumstances, with the

GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE

Monday night Hon. Key Pittman
opened his campaign in Tonopah.
The Bonanza says an ovation greet
ed Mr.. PittmaE when he arose to
speak. A dispatch to the Ely
E~xpositor gives me following from
Mr.. Pittman's speech:
president Taft is not the only
st]and-patter in the republican
party. Without the support IF the
stand-pat, rcactiOnary republican
senator's and congressman he would
have been unable to block pre-.
gressive legislation and prevent a
reduction of the outrageous Payne
AIdricn tariff. Without the sup
port of rcactionary republican
senators and congressman the steel
bill and the wool bill which ne
vetoed would have been passed over
his veto, and n great burden of
taxation lifted from the people Of
this country.
Among those progressive ,c.
publican senators who voted for the
passage of the steel hill and WOODEN
hill were Bristow, Clapp, Poin-
dexter, La Toilette and Works.
whilst among the reactionarics and
stand-patters, who voted against
the passage of these bills wpre
Clark Of Wyoming, frame Of
Massachusetts. Gallingcr of Yer
mont. Guggcnhcim of Colorado
Lodge Of Massachusetts, Pcnrosc Of
Pennsylvania and Massey Of
Nevada.
My hOnorsd opponent on Satur-
day night stated that he was on.
posed to the excise tax and voted
against it. lie stated that he was
opposed to this means Of raising
revenue. The democratic marty
is in favor Of this means of raising
revenue. 1t is but one # the MANY
issues that distinctly indicate the
different views of government held
by the democratic and republican
parties.
The excise tax rrovides for the
taxing of the profits Of all business
over and above five thousand
dollars at a rate of enc per cent.
The republicans believes this is an
imposition upon that class ~
business meE who earn more than
five thousand a year. The demo.
Gratis believe that men who earn
more than five thousand a yea arc
better able to pay this and holm
support the government under

zero in the senate as it is now. He
spoke of Clay Tallman as being
eminently fitted to represent the
state Of Nevada in the house. He
had served the state as senator
from Nye county for four years
and was familiar with the needs of
the state and with legislative work.
II a republican senator and con-
gresham were elected in Novem-
Der, it would be by democratic
votes aud they would oppose the
administration of President Wilson
and might cast the votes that
would defeat his policies. Unless
backed up by a majority in both
houses President Wilson would be
pOwerless to accomplish the great
reforms to which the party was
pledged by the Baltimore platform.
This, he said. should weigh with
democrats in casting their votes
for senator ard congressman.
Senator Newlands also discussed
Taft and R~oosevelte and other
issues of the campaign but we have
neither the time nor the space to
report his remarks. He said, how
ever, that the policy of the demo-
cratic party was to take the burden
of taxation from the and
place it upon wealth by means of
an income tax. The whole system
of National taxation could be
radually revised and wealth made
to bear its full portion of the bur-
den of taxation.

The ordinary taxes upon the poor
