Powdorly on Immlttration.
The SiTiintcm A pubU:ttn having crit
icised M:ist:r Workman l'owdcrly'a views
on the immigrant question lie wrote in
reply it two column article to the Scraiitou
Truth in which he bays:
".My policy would undoubtedly shut
the door against a great many who most
of all have need of this country, hut it
would not prevent the landing of any
individual of whom the country has need,
and as this is a two-sided question it is
only fair to consider the requirements
nnd needs of the country as well as the
emigrant. Does tho United States require
an influx of emigrants at the rate of from
1,000 to 10,000 a day? My experience
teaches nie that the constantly increasing
tido of immigration is detrimental to tho
emigrant and to the country to which
he comes. I said, and now repeat it,
that, until it can be shown that the per
Bon landing on our shores can be self sus
taining .for at least one year he should
not be allowed to land. It does not fol
low that each emigrant .should show the
ready cash, although that would bo bet
ter still. What is required is to know
tho condition of the country and it's
needs, and the condition of the country
is such that a man can not be self-sustaining
for the fust year alter his arrival.
"If he must knock at the door of a
mine, mill, factory and offer to take the
place of the American workingman for
less money than that man receives for his
labor, then his advent to this country
partakes more of the nature of a curse
than a blessing. My plan does not deal
with the emigrant alone. It will, through
the aid of bureaus now being perfected,
tliow what an amount of immigration
this country requires; more than that we
should not have. If the man who lands
in this country is a pauper, we have to
sustain him. If ho throws a resident of
this country out of employment by taking
Ills situation from him and works for
less wages, he makes a pauper or a de
pendent of the American workman. Ev
ery man, to be in accord with tho genius
of our institutions, should be independ
ent, and not dependent.
"I grant that not only thousands but
millions have come to this country with
out visible means of support, and th-y
have not only done well, but the counii y
has cause to bless the day they landed.
The conditions have changed. The con
ditions which surrounded the immigrant
of fifty, twenty-live or ten years ago were
far difierent from those surrounding the.
poor fellow who lands today, and among
the ir.i ;i v ho cry out against emigration
to-day arc- thousands who landed no
longer ag.- t.-.j t'-n years.
"Improved machinery and new inven
tions have, within the last twenty-five
years, made it possible for one man to do
the work of three, and in many instances
the work of ten. In every case where the
machine has made it possible for a man
to do in a day what it required threo men
to do before, two out of every three must
look elsewhere-for a means of making a
livelihood.
"Twenty-five years have witnessed tiie
the absorption of our public lands by
syndicates, native and alien. Bonanza
farming on tho one hand and land specu
lation on the other have made it impos
sible for the two men who have been dis
placed by the machine to go upon the
land and earn a living. They must re
main in tho town or city. To-day we
witness a marvelous increase in the pop
ulation of our cities and an alarming do
crease in the population of our farming
districts. That is the agricultural popu
lation does not by any means keep pro
portional pace with the population of
mining, manufacturing and mechanic
centers.
"All this tends to show that something
must be done to equalize our population.
The many who were within sound of my
voice on tho evening of the Fourth, who
are living evidence that coming to this
country without visible means of
support wa3 no bar to their acquisition
of property, but not land, within the last
fifty years, and there was not a man nn
ordinary laborer for I am not speaking
of mechanics within sound of my voice
who came to Seranton within the last ten
years and can show a clear title deed to
property in this county. Xor will the
immigrant who lands to-day without vis
ible means of support own a home of his
own within the next fifty years if the
tide of immigration is permitted, to How
on as it is now flowing.
"There was no necessity for applying'
Mr. Powderly's policy or any other poli
cy to the immigrant of ten years ago, and
yet in this very state v.e passed a ltw
a tramp act jut ten years ago to impris
on the man who appeared on our streets
without visible means of support. Tint
was but the beginning of the agitation of
the immigration question. Then a state
passed a law to imprison for a year the
man who appeared to bo without visible
means of support. It can not be said to
extend a very hearty welcome to the?ini-
iiiignmt who may appear on our shores
in the same, condition.
"I know what t he working people of
this country want, and tha'' want is not
confined to the American-born working
men. It is universal. That want is to
restrict immigration for the sake of the
country and the immigrant. In other
words the workingmt n wart a fair shaie
of the protection that is offered to tho
employers of labor.
"I never went so far as to say that
nearly the entire body of immigrants now
pouring in arc unskilled and uneducated,
but, admitting that the ltipubli:a)i is
right, and that tho market for unskilled
labor is already crowded beyond preced
ent, is it not time to do something to
ciine the strain i"

From the H. Y. Sun,
"I am afraid, madam," said a gentle
man who was looking for country bonnl,

lady, "but from tho front veranda one

That is to nay, your lungs. A' so all
your breathing machinery. Very wond

And what they do they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia,

way to get rid of them. That is to take

"Yes, there is just as much fash ton
about a cane r.s any Rrticle cf dress," sail
a Fuiion street dealer to me a few drys
ago. "You see it is the policy of the
trade to chance the style of cane every
season. If tins were not done our cus
tomers would carry the same cane year in
and year out. A few years ago, very
light, thin canes were the proper thing,
but today the heavier the sticii a man
carries the heavier swell he is supposed to
be. The buck handle canes are otill very
popular, but if you wish to be right up
to the latest style you should carry a
natural wood bent handle stick. A nar
row silver or gold band sets oil the stick,
but tho uglier the stick itself, the more
fashionable it becomes. The silver and
gold handled canes are always correct,
and if you wish to make a present to an
old gentleman yoii should give him a pold
headed cane with his name engraved
upon it. Orange wood canes are very
popular just at present, and the ugly
black thorn sticks are coming into
fashion. A light, straight fibered hickory
stick with a found head is one of the
novelties introduced this spring and rare
imported woods are being made up into
sticks for the better class of Uade."
