RESTRICTIVE IMMIGRATION.
One of the most puzzling problems that con- fronts this country is the immigration question. In days gone by when the country was young, there were forests to be cleared, wild animais to be killed, and savages, to be driven away, before the land was ready for, liuhan habitation. Then it was that immigrants were absolutely. necessary for its development. Under such circumstances, your forefathers wisely encour aged immigration from ail countries, and held out the inducements of a new home to settlers from every quarter of the globe. Under this liberal policy the United Sintes grew from a confederacy of thirtern states to a mighty nation and expanded by rapid- strides from. ocean to ocean. The population has risen from 5,000,000 to nearly 80,000,000. Millions of acres of land have been brought under cultiva tion. Even deserts have been nude to bloom by irrigation. The result is that the whole country is occupied by a busy and enterprising population. Now a different phase of the im- migration question preserita itself. The times bave changed and the condition of the country has changed with them. It would be a suicidal policy to give as much encouragement to immigration now that the country is fairly populated, as when there was not one inhabit- ant to a square mile, Congressional legislation: having for its purpose the restriction of im migration, is the natural outcome.
+
You observe that I agree with those who hold that this country needs restrictive inmigration laws. But in order in produce good results laws should be general in their scope. They should not single out any one people for exclusion or makė invidious distinction between nations and countries. In the second place such laws should be so enforced as to remedy the evil aimed at They should be effective in keeping out the undesirable element without obstructing the entrance of the worthy and desirable class. Criminals, paupers, illiterates and those who are

It is a curious fact that the economical con- ditions of China at the present day resemble those of the United States immediately after the civil war. The prospect of a settled period of peace has given a tremendous impetus to the launching of great industrial and engineering enterprises. Railroad building is sure engress the resources and energy of the whole empire for some yaurs to come. This means that China will have need at home of all the labour at her comiriand. In proportion as the demand for labour increases there will be less labour available for emigration to countries.
other
It has been said that Chinese labour is cheap. Chinese cheap labour is a misleading expres- sion. As an element in the cost of production the price paid for labour in China is exceeding ly high, in comparison with the price paid for labour in this country. Let me illustrate my menning. To harvest an ordinary crop of rice in China requires ten mien in five days. But the same amount of work can be done by a modern harvesting machine, tended by a single man, in one day. In other words, the machine does the work of fifty men. Sup pose such labourers in China. get-ten cents a day. The American labourer, with his machine, ought to get fifty times' as much, or $5. As a matter of fact he does not get half as much, while day labourers in China get their ten cents
The contest between capital and labour is one that deserves the serious attention of every public man. There is no denying that capital is a power, and as a species of power it is liable to abuse. It may be the means of oppressing the poor as well as that of benefitting the needy It has been said that capital is antagonistic to labour. Why this is so is difficult to compre hend. In the production of wealth one is as essential as the other. Without labour, capital will have to lie idle. Without capital, labour remains unemployed. One is the complement of the other. There should be a beuer ap- preciation of the rights and duties of both. 1 have been struck with the tremendous power wielded not only by big combinations of capital, calle: trusts, but also by combinations of labour, 'callid labour unioris. The industrial and economic conditions in America require the organization of labour as a practical necessity. When properly conducted, labour organiza- tions are productive of much good; for here as well as elsewhere union is strength, But I must confess that I do not always see the necessity of resorting to strikes as a means of bringing employers to terms. When a strike is ordered, it inconveniences the public. The strikers moreover, have families to support, and have need of their wages. Thus, their a day for doing just one-fiftieth the amount of action is as injurious to themselves as to their work. It will be seen that the price paid for employers.

the United States reckoned as part of the cost with their employers? To my mind the answer of production. But, of course, the amount each is not lar to seek. When a man has a quarrel labourer gets in wages is many times less in with another, the matter is taken to a court of China than what the American labourer gets in law, where justice is administered. A decision America. There is another consideration that of the court settles the matter. Why could not is oftea overlooked by those who make com“. some such course of action be taken in disputesparison between the wages of Chinese labourers between employers and employes?* fail to and American labourers. I refer to the purchas- see the reason why it should not be so. If it is ing power of money in China to the purchas feared that the judges may all belong to one class, why not then appoint some from the other class? In my humble opinion, some such pacific means might be devised for the settlement of all disputes between capitalists and labourers.
