THE iNlNHGRlTIOE ELL.

That the passage Of the immigra tion bill is to better anyone may well be doubted That keeping illi- terates out of the country may have some tendency to prevent the deve- 1opmcnt of peon class is highly inn proba abe. for the most marked char acteristic of any illiterate is to learn how to read and write as a predo- minaring anxiety.
 The main supporters of the immi. grafton bill have been members ot the American Federation of Labor, Their contention that many immi- grants are brought into the country for the purpose of breaking down wages in various industries may have grain of truth. But it is certain that even within the field now existing the American Fedora lion of Labor has been making little progress, and keeping a few thou sand out would make little differ ence.
 Besides it is mistake to imagine that the foreigners are used as They have been se- lected for work in fields which should have been organized, and were not, by the American Fedora hion of Labor, and the painful fact for American Federation higher of ficials has been that these same illi- terate foreigners were the last to perceive the beauties of the craft system of Reorganization.
 Now illiteracy has no merits. This paper would be the last to defend that condition which is a commen- tary upon the despotism that pre- vails in those countries whence these illiterate emigrants may come: religious or economic despotism or both. The great draw back to illi- teracy is that it is generally united

FINANCIAL THIMBLERIG.

High Finance is a modern art. Not that little achievements were not ac- complished in other days by the magnates of that time. But today it is down on a scientific basis: clear cut, effective and most admirable.
 The other day the railroads se- cured a general increase in rates from the Interstate Commerce Con- mission after pressure had been brought to bear on that somewhat elastic minded body through the skilful manipulation of the press.

Some returns from the Bethlehem ssei plant are interesting. especi- ally as that is one of the stocks that dropped a few points when the peace scare" terrified the sDeculat- ors of Wall Street.
 In the year 1911 the profits per man of the Bethlehem Steel Co. were $290. That is some earnngs. These were increased during 1912 fo $4O5 per man. Efficiency began to get in it's work. Tn 1913 the pro- fits per man had increased to $566 ss the slaves were getting broken into the system. Then the war haaves in sight and the earnings per man mount to S601 for 1914.
 The second year of the war how ever knocked spots out of all pre- yious records, for the year 1915, the earnings for each individual em- ployed reached the gigantic figure S1O17. That is clean profits for every thousand men eMplO!eu ol over million dollars. What mine in the world produces such luscious profits?
 And the finest commentary of 1t .slI is that the wages paid in 1911 and those paid Il 1915 hardly show eight per cent difference. How equal Iy wealth is distributed among the producers under efficient capital ism, No wonder Hughes broke into a paen of praise for "American effl- cient". There it is in all its un- adorned beauty when it is adorned the most. Every section of the fair Efticiency's body covered over with profit jewelry.

The poor railroads! Every editorial ist sighed and cried about the par ious condition of the transportation industry. They were unable to make ends meet. They were sunk in poverty, so abject and so vile that they were a disgrace to the country And every investor was entitled to legitimate profits: every stOckhold CT was entitled to reasonable re- turn on his investment. The widows and orphans whose revenue came from the shares and stocks of the roads were starving and destitute and what not Every paper had them, and they apeared in even the remotest corners. The pounding away gradually drove the Interstate Commerce Commission to action and the increase was granted. Since then profits have been big. They have been on some roads simply fabulous They are out of all proportion to previous earnings, and at that if they had more cars and more rolling stock they could still do more.
 Yet they are judicious. They don't slice off a melon and send ten fifteen or twenty per cent increased dividends to the smiling sharehola. CTS. They are good deal wiser They slap on another few million to their common stock, equal to the profits, and issue the shares just made to the stockholders in the way of bonus. Their capital stock rises. IS in one specific instance, from thirty to fifty million dollars, and they will, when times are not so brisk, go before the Interstate Com merce Commission and ask that they be allowed to make reasonable profits upon that fifty million capital stock, twenty million of winch is just pure water.
 The High Finance of these roads is certainly marked by prudent eye
 upon the Interstate Commerce Com
 mission. They have to have as large capital stock as possible when mak- ing their demands for Legitimate profit upon that stock, and the higher the stock is, the more they
 will demand in the way of rates to nav dividends thereuDOn

with superstition, and the worker that packs round an incubus o1 su- perstition is seldom likely to take an active part in promoting the wei fare of his class.
 But as has been pointed out, very few indeed of those who arrive here iliterate are anxious or will ing to maintain their illiteracy. They go out of their way to get rid of it, and they lose no time about it either.
 The man who has the misfortune to be iliitcrate seldom hugs that misfortune; on the contrary he manifests an eagerness for know ledge that those who are much more fortunate could copy with profit.
 There is less danger to progress from an illiterate eager to learn than there is from one who believes that knowledge is dangerous, and that the truth is a privilege of cer- tain castes whose ipse diXit on such things must be inevitably followed There is much less danger to ad- vancement in an illiterate who real izes his backward condition and strives to overcome it, than from the stand pat reactionist who thinks that the gravest danger to society ill the world is the radicalism that re- fuses to accept his leadership and his machine and his domination.

PROOF.

As every one knows among the trusts that have been completely de- stroyed is the American Tobacco Go.
 Some interesting facts were ad- duced before Congress before it ad- journed in October in the shape of testimony brought before the Judi ciary Committee to show that a new York District Attorney refused to take cognizance of the existence of criminal combinations.
 The most important was the testi- mony of Mr. Joseph Oehs, the presi- dent of the Cigar Dealers Associa- ticn How is this:
 "Mr. Nelson (to Ochs). What are the conditions in the tobacco business now compared to what they were before the dissolution Of the so-called tobacco trust?
 Mr. Ochs: Conditions in my opin- ion are far worse.
 MT. Nelson: The independents suffer as much as they did before the dissolution?
 Mir. Ochs: Why, if your honor please, they have re-clothed them (the trust) in such a way they have more power than they ever had be- fore.'
 Ochs went on to state that the trust was eliminating rivals in punches and was driving all com petition off the field.
 So it is that the law which was supposed to destroy the trusts actu- than the Law.

CONSTRUCTIVE PRESENCE.

Constructive Presence" is a le- gal phrase to fasten guilt upon a man who was absent when crime was committed. It is a fine example of the modern legal metaphysics which is just crushing the Jitd.s out of modern society, and is being used railroading the labor leaders or or ganizers.
 The finest example in these days of the use of this constructive pre- sence' doctrine, is the arrest of the organizers of the iron ore workers in the Mesaba range strike, when four or five were arrested charged with murder committed by a gun man who happened to be deputized.
 Although it is admitted that these organizers were not there, the state is trying to prove that they had there a constructive presence inas much as they had aided the strike and assisted in it's being prolonged, charged was performed during the course of that strike.
 It was a similar constructive prescnce:' which convicted Lawson Of murder in Colorado. He was not present, but he was President of the district of the United Mine Workers which was on strike and during which the shooting was done, and therefore was "conatructiyely pre- sent, and committed the act.
 The law is a wonderful thing iii the hands of the wonderful master class which is responsible for it's en- forcement. But nothing more wond- crful, moro weird or more monStrous has ever been evolved from their crazy theories of life and living than this absurd doctrine of "con- structive presence. It makes the metaphysics of the dark ages logical, and respectable from a rational point of view, compared to the le- gal theology that these servants of Mammon have discovered to prop the bloody deeds of capitalism.
 Constructive Presence" the phrase and the doctrine will be worth bearing in mind.

stock and into many roads during these years, of industrial activities and increased rates, the water has been flowing in to the capital in quite wonderful fashion.
 Every road that follows this highly clever policy will be able to make quite a respectable showing when the next demand is made for the permission to increase freight rates another notch.
 The ways of capital are myster ious, but they are not without me thod in their mystery.

RALSTON PEAKS AT LABoR
MEETING

On Monday, August 2oth, a
meeting was held under the aus
pices of organized labor at the
Cross Street Market IN Baltl,
more in the Fifth CongresslonaaI
District, on behalf of David ).
Lewis. Democratic Candidate fol
United States Senator and Jack
son Fl. Ralston, Democratic Can-
didate for Congress from tne
Fifth District. The meeting was
strictly a labor meeting. 8
Mr., Ralston's speech was OF
particular interest to voters IN
the Fifth District. he
said, if elected to Congress, that
his effort would be to have es-
tablished at Baltimore a free
Port such as is now maintained
at Hamburg, Germany, trieste
Austria, Copenhagen, Sweden
and several other European cltles'
the result of which has been &c
make these cities not only cos
mopolitan but prosperous. Inc
theory of a Free Port IS that
raw material may enter the port
from foreign countries, to be
changed by manufactures or other
processes into a finished product
and exported to the same OF
another foreign country, With
out the payment of tariff in the
country of manufacture. Under
the present laws goods entering
this country must pay tariff.
Under the idea developed by Mr..
Ralston, goods which are not
actually used in the country,
which enter it as raw material
and leave it as finished products,
would not be required to pay
tariff. Manufacturing is thus
encouraged and a new industry
added for the country's wealth.
In the European cities named,
the idea had been developed to
their great advantage.

..MAKING GOOD" WITH FARMERS

For fifty years the Republican
party has been promising and
neglecting the farmers of the
country. Its leading statesmen
have through all these years tied
poor Agricola to the chariot
wheels of party autonomy. and,
when the time came for action,
passed him the ice pitcher.
Under a Democratic admins
tration and with a Democratic
Congress it has been very differ
ent. The Rural Credits Law is
upon the nations statue books.
President Wilson has named the
Farm Loan Board and the latter
has duly organized.
According to Secretary Nc
Adoo, the development of the
new system will require six
months, and actual loans may
not be made until next spring.
However, the long deferred mea-
sure is law and will long re-
main so, subject to whatever
changes from time to time its
successful operation may call for.
It's enactment is a distinct
achievement of the Democratic
party, and the farmers as well
as voters will give credit where
credit is due.
AS explained by the Brooklyn
Eagle, if each farm loan bank
has to have capital Of $3.50, 900,
and after thirty days of open
subscription have failed to raise
that amount, the United States
Treasury subscribes the rest; the
Government becomes the under
writer of the whole plan. With
loans only on first mortgage Sc
curity, as recommended by a
local farm loan association, with
careful appraisals and common
sense management, no money
will be lost. AS the farm loan
banks can do no other business,
and the money is in hand, there
will be no motive for refusing
proper loans. The plan Of serial
redemption, a percentage Of the
principal paid with each install
ment Of interest, and the long
time allowed, should mean much
to the farmer. The plan is in
accord with much legislation in
older countries.
In effect the National Reserve
system has made corners of ie-
gal tender impossible. Analo-
