FREELAND, PENN'A, MAY 10, 1897.
Restriction of limnigrution.
From the Ha/Jeton Sentinel.
One result of the legislative investi
gation of the anthracite coal region |
scents to be the development of an em- j
phatic demand for a restriction of im- j
migration. This would seem to bo the
shortest route for improving present
conditions, in other words a sudden j
and decided decrease in population
would be much more efficacious and :
tend to benefit our people. To drive out ,
of the country or kill oil a certain ele
ment is tho basis of such a theory. Re- j
striction of immigration in the same
sense is opposed to the natural system
of growth and development. A study of .
the question shows that the popular
conception is entirely wrong. Instead
of a congested country we are actually '
the lowest in thu standard of acrea to
population of any of the. civilized coun
tries. The figures in this direction are
so decided and absolutely one-sided that I
the suggestion of over population here I
becomes absurd.
In a valuable contribution to the
North American liaieic, Simon Gruenleaf
Croswell giv< > the relative standing of 1
the several leading countries. He shows
that the Netherlands had in 1890 the
very large average of ;ir>9 inhabitants to
eacli square mile of territory. Great
Britain comes next with 311 inhabitants. J
Germany had and France 187. •
Where the limit to over population j
comes in is difficult to arrive at. Mac
kenzie in bis history of the nineteenth
century says that nearly two-thirds of i
the French householders are land own
ers. while only one British householder '
in four is a land owner. France would I
therefore appear not to be over popu- ;
lated.
Taking the United States, both sides;
of the Mississippi, we find a population j
of less than six individuals to the mile, i
This statement would seem to preclude i
the logic of a suggestion that the j
country was crowded. Taking tho more |
thickly populated centres of the East, !
for instance, including Now York, i
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and In- j
diana, the averages run between 45 and ]
under 90 individuals per square mile, j
In a small territory made up of parts of j
Ma.-sachusi Us, Pennsylanla and Now 1
Jersey the highest average is obtained. 1
which goes a little over 90 per square !
iniio.
What a wide divergence is thus shown, i
ft cannot be possible that the country
is over populated. The most ardent
advocate of restricted immigration cer
tainly cannot support this theory that 1
there is a congestion of labor. Labor j
> -aid to be the standard of wealth, for
from it all development comes. There
may be, of course, necessity for limiting I
the cla>- of new settlers. The only
limit i-. according to the national theory
of our government, exclusion of worth
less drones.
The standard of education as proposed
might apply with some advantage, but
in its general operation it might be ap
plied in bestowing upon the applicant
the right of citizenship. The education
of such aliens would make the conduct
of political affairs less difficult and re
duce the chances of corruption. It
would therefore appear that instead of
advocating restricted immigration there
is yet room for inviting it; that the un
developed territory should receive atten
tion; that the system of enfranchise
ment can be improved, and that with
proper care in this direction our popula
tion can increase without exciting ap
prehension. The United States, while
leading in intelligence, does not lead in
size by an\ means, and to aid in its
growth and nurture its strength should
engage the attention of its economists
and legislators.
THE TARIFF ON CUTLERY.
Why the Trust Can Dictate Such Out
rageously High Duties.
One of the worst schedules in the
Dingley bill is that relating to cutlery
—especially pocket cutlery. The duties
nn pocketknives range from 100 per
cent to 300 per cent above present du
ties and are nearly double those in the
McKinley bill. Why, you will ask, are
these duties so extraordinarily high?
And why are they allowed to remain
there? Both questions are easily an
swered.
It is unnecessary hero to go into de
tails. Befoie McKinley's nomination
one of the 11 vo or six large manufactur
ers of pocket cutlery, who was prom
inent in the trust, which raised prices
lan average of about 85 per cent nine, i •
I the McKinley bill, began to hustle '' . '
McKinley. He is said to have raised a
large sum of money by passiug the hat
among the 20 or 25 cutlery manufactur
ers. Just how the money was spent is :
not known. It is proLable, however,
that several McKinley delegates to l-t ,
Louis owed their presence there to tl.is '
fund. Tho hat passer himself was one |
of the very few delegates from New
York who was for McKinley first, tyst '
and all the timo. 110 was one of Han- I
mi's most trusted lieutenants. O; ;; of j
the two favors which he is said to have 1
asked as compensation for his valuable i
services was the fixing of the cutlery j
schedule. This privilege, being an ordi- I
uary uud expected one under tho protcc- |
tiou system, was readily granted b}* the |
power behind llio throne. This is prob
ably tho whole story. It explains fully
why tho duties aro there and why they
will stay there.
Below is given in detail some of the
effects of the proposed duties us applied
to importations for tho last fiscal year.
Of course but few knives will ho im
ported under such exorbitant duties.

RESULT.
Knives to the value of 6 per cent of importa I
tions, duty would bo 85 per cent.
Knives to tho value of 94 per cent of impor 1
tations, duty would bo 142?*. per cent.
Tho duty on pocket cutlery for some years |
prior to iB6O was 24 per cent ad valorem.
From 1880 to 1890 it was 50 per cent ad va
lorem, with tho exceptions of a short time
during that period when it was 45 per cent ad
valorem.
The McKinley tariff averaged about 91 per
cent ad valorem.
The Wilson tariff averaged about 51 per cent
ad valorem.
The proposed Dingley tariff will averngo,
l>a.sed on the importations of 1896, 142 per
cent ad valorem on 94 per cent of all knives
imported during that year.
The equivalent ad valorem duties on the fol

llit the Wrong Party,
Jackson's Protection Prophecy.
The corporations and wealthy indi
viduals who are engaged in large man
ufacturing establishments desire a high
tiriff to increase their gains. Desipn
i iug politicians will support it to concil
iate their favor and to obtain the means
for profase expenditure for the purpose
of purchasing influence in other quar
* ters. Do not allow yourselves, my fel
low citizens, to be misled in this sub
. jeot. It is a system of injustice, and if
. ! persisted in will lead to corruption and
( must end in ruin.—Andrew Jackson in
His Farewell Address.
A Great Democratic Harmonlzer.
*' "Tho Dingley bill has done moro in
1 three flays to reconstruct and strengthen
* the Democratic party than all the hur
* monizors and conciliators and managers
* could have done in a year," the Balti
more News (Dein.) says.
A Wonderful Pill.
Undo Sam—Why, doctor, that looks
liko the pill McKinley gave mo to re
duce my revenue.
Dr. Dingley—Yes, its ingredients are
practically the same, though perhaps
they are somewhat stiougcr.
U. S.—But you say this is to increase
my revenue. How can it work both
ways?
Dr. D.—lt's a protection and prosper
ity pill and will produce any effect de- j
sired. It's an infallible cure for any
and all fiscal and industrial ills. If tak
fjßf
ft j ' '■■> }
r I)
en i:i sufficiently quantities, it |
will keep all fore m germs out of your |
system and leav you happy, prosperous
and—
U. S.—Hold 011 there, doctor! You've
said enough to convince mo that, like
all advertised panaceas, it's a quack
remedy. Besides, I've tried it and found !
it about the nastiest dose I ever took.
It's effects were also bad—very bad. It
deranged my wholo system and lilled it j
so full of trust germs that I've been laid
up ever since. 1 don't want any more
of your "protection" pills and don't
see why they called a protection doctor
again. It must have been by mistake.
Women's Dress Goods Will Come High.
The extremely high duties which
Dingley proposes to collect from worn- j
en's dress goods: should be more gener
ally understood by the women of this i
country. It is they who must suffer
most becauso of these duties. Here are
a few samples of the increased duties '
taken from a list prepared by Mr. P. B.
Worrall of the dress goods importing
firm of Fred ButterQeld & Co. of New
York:
"A wool and cotton cloth costing in
England Is. per yard, equal to 21 cents
in our money, weighing 10 ounces to
the running yard, costs under the pres
ent tariff 88. G cents per yard, while un- !
der the proposed tariff it would cost
07 8-10 cents per yard.
"A wool and cotton cloth costing iu !
England 2s. 4d. per yard, equal to 50 j
cents in our money, weighing 28 ounces !
to the running yard, and costing under
the present tai iff 78.4 cents per yard, i
would under tlio proposed tariff cost |
$1.4858 per yard.
"An all worsted cloth, costing in
I England 2s. id. per yard, equal to 50 i
cents in our money, weighing 10 ounces i
to the running yard, and costing under !
. the present tariff 70 cents per yard,
i would cost under the proposed tariff
I $1,308 per yard.
i "A 82 inch black serge (cotton
I warp), costing in England 7 5-Bd. per
i yard, equal in our money to 15.25 cents,
| weighing less than 4 ounces to the
square yard, cofts under the present tar
iff 22.87 cents per yard. Under the pro
posed tariff it will cost 80.07 cents per
yard.
"A 27 inch black sicilienne (cotton j
warp), costing in England 7 7-Bd. per j
yard, equal to 15.75 cents iu our mon- <
ey, weighing 8.7 ounces to the naming
yard, costs under the present tariff
28.(52 cents per yard. Under the pro- J
posed tariff it will cost 88.92 cents per '
yard.
Iniquitous Lumber Tariff.
"The proposed tariff on lumber," the
Boston Transcript (Rep.) says, "is sim
ply a measuio to pick tho pockets and
j crush the industry of a large, useful and
| influential class of American citizens.
It is uneconomic, unscientific, suicidal.
The statements upon which this schedule
| was made up are shown to have, beeu
insidious and misleading. Tho result
will bo to strip the country not of an
' annually recurring income, but of its
| white pine principal, which at present
| rates is within ten years of exhaustion,
I and also to ruin a large class of business
! men in this country who deserve better
things. It does not seem possible that
men claiming to represent tne people
will permit such a measure to have the
force of law. If they do, it will cease
to bo folly and become iniquity."

Admits Prices Will Be Higher.
j With regard to Chairman Dingley's
admission that the duty on wool will
increase the price of wool, tho Kansas
City Times says: "The consumer and
not the foreigner, therefore, pays the
tariff tax. It concedes also that tho
home producer puts up his prices arbi
trarily. Mr. Dinghy's own words are a
confession that tho Dingley bill is a
! fraud and a robbery of the people for
i the benefit of tho few individuals and
j corporations."
j The most retroactive feature of tho
; Dingley bill is the provision for paying
| back to the big manufacturers their cam-
I paigu contributions.
CARS CF THE WHEEL.
I Every Rider Should Learn ( Keep
lils Bicycle In Order.
To the person who has uot given the
matter due consideration the mecbao
' ism of a wheel is regarded as exceeding- j
ly intricate; indeed, riders of a season's '
! experience are found who are in equal |
ignorance. The non-rider thinks with !
consternation of what the result of a i
I fall would be, miles from home, or a I
puncture in the pork. A fall would i
surely break a wheel or twist the entire '
machine out of shape, and a puncture j
would be "awful" if not worse. Now. I
| as a matter of fact, the construction ot
a modern, uj>-to-da/te bicycle is siin- I
| plicity itself, and the modus operandi |
of taking it apart and putting it to
j gether again can be mastered by anyone j
. with but little difficulty. This is usual- j
ly found out by the novice along in the j
| middle of the season after he lias sever- '
al times paid card rates at arepeir shop
to have a puncture fixed or the chain od
j justed. Cleaning the bearings will cost !
' the price of a Sunday dinner at a coun- ,
try inn, and could be done just as well ;
■ at home while resting,
j One agent tells of a young man who |
I twisted his handlebar in the steering
head and then Trundled the machine I
j fhree blocks to a shop and watched the I
. dealer repair the damage with his
hands in about five seconds and charge
the amazed owner 25 cents for his work. ;
! Ordinary repairing, such as patching a
; puncture, straightening a bent fork, i
adjusting bearings, etc., can be made by
the average riilei*if he will only take the
! pains to watch experienced persons
! when opportunity occurs and be sensi
ble enough to profit by the watching.
After one has mastered the mechanism |
of his machine there is a great deal i
j more enjoyment to be bad out of riding !
j than when the rider doesn't know j
anything about itexcept thatit isa blcy- j
i He. He who knows his steed will see to j
I it that it is in perfect running order be- j
fore he goes out, and will not be haunt- ;
od by the suspiciou that possibly some- i
thing is the matter with the bearings |
or the chain, or that his reach may not ;
be just right. Nor will he be continual- !
ly annoyed by squeaking and grinding j
noises like the rider who depends on the
| repair man to keep his wheel in shape. |
! —Chicago Chronicle.
THE BANTAM BICYCLE.
!( Dinpensca with Chain Genring nml
Is Very Light.
, A new thing in bicycles is a tiny ma- j
I chine called after the tiniest chicken. :
the Bantam (for men), and the Banta- j
mette (for women). It is the lightest
; of any cycle made. It has no chain or j
I gearing that is necessarily connected
therewith, the pedals being connected |
; directly with the axle of the front j
wheel, the back wheel taking care of i
itself and following "the leader." The j
seat is over the center of the machine. !
the wheels are near together, and the I
whole mechanism compact und dur
able.
it is claimed that >t is easier to learn
to ride, easier to ride, and easier to
mount than any other, and that there
|
LIGHTEST BICYCLE MADE,
can be no stooping. This last feature, it
: is said, will do away with the "bicycle
j face," and is much to be desired.
Whether great speed can be acquired
j or not. is not stated, but it beiug an
• English invention, and the English be
i ing a leisurely riding class of people,
jx rhnps that is not considered an essen
tial, although it may be that great
speed can be cultivated without.so much
exertion. In fact, the extra lightness
by reason of the chain and gearing be
ing taken away leaves less weig'ht to be
propelled, and may involve no loss of
speed.
A Ilrnce on the Wheel.
An arrangement made of strong elas
tic worn around and under the arms
in the manmer of the horse line of
juvenile days has been placed on the
market for the benefit of cyclers. When
properly attached tinder the saddle it
gives him an extra force on the jxidals.
It is said to give additional power in
riding up steep grades and is a braJcr
as well, as it prevents the rider from
being pulled off the seat when lynch
pedaling. It ca.a be worn with coat or
sweater and the hook can be bent to
fit a.ny saddle. When the rider sits up
right the article is not in use, as the
hooks drop out of place.
Women nml the Bicycle.
A physician who wrote and talked
much in favor of bicycle riding for
growing girls a.ud women when the
exercise first became popular savs that
now, after five years, his opinion is the
same with one qualification—modera
tion. Women should not, young or old.
ride long at at ime. and Hiould not ride
fast- On these limitations he now lays
the greatest stress, giving bis consent
to his patient's riding atail only when
she will positively promise to agree to
them.
America Lends the World.
The real reason why England. Can
ada nr.d other countries want protec
, tion from our manufacturers of bicycles
is that American enterprise and Ameri
can automatic machinery set a pace that
is too swift to follow.
