HERE is nothing singular, and ‘at no time has T there been anything impossible, about corner- ing the silver product. It is as easy as the cor- nering of copper, and is subject to the same vicissi- tudes. The silver corner, taking in the control of the entire product of Mexico, and assisted by that Gov- ernment, is an established fact. What the Bland and Sherman bills failed to do permanently has for the present been accomplished by the Guggenheim syndicate, and silver has been forced up at a rapid rate. The rise effected by those two acts of the American Congress was a brief bull movement in the this Government. But it did not last, and under both laws the price took a downward turn, and fell steadily | to Embassador Porter at Paris: “The Government i holds that every citizen sojourning or traveling abroad in pursuit of his lawful affairs is entitled to a passport, and the duration of such sojourn the de- partment does not arrogate to itself the right to limit or prescribe.” No objection can be made, of course, to the maintenance of that rule, still one can readily perceive how it may be abused by persons who ac- quire naturalization not for honest purposes. Per- haps the only solution will be for our courts to exer- cise greater care in granting naturalization, and until that is done our Consuls must do the best they can in settling the claims submitted to them by men who claim the protection of a Goveriment which they neither serve nor lo .

An investigation into the antecedents of these criminals shows that in a ma- | taking is the most stupendous operation ever un- | of instances they were driven or assisted out s and entered Great Britain un- | Of the total number mentioned 175 s were | 140 Russians and Poles, 54 French, CIr own count nged a4 Italians, 20 Norwegians, Swedes and Danes, 8 Dutch | I other nationalities. The offenses are} returned as 228 against property, 114 against prop- erty with violence, g8 against the person, 33 forgery, counterfeiting and coining, and 147 other offenses.” An even worse showing is made of the mendicant | and pauper immigrants, who are now almost literally | overrunning London. A single borough of the grcat‘ city recently represented to the Board of Trade that in addition to its own native-born dependencies it had | last year to relieve the needs of 710 alien families, be- sides providing for sixteen lunatics who had entered the borough in a demented condition and had never for a single day performed any work there. The Brit- | ish ratepayers very naturally object to having to sup- i port such 2 number of dependent people shipped | irom their homes on the Continent, and as a conse- quence it is likely Great Britain will have to follow { our example and subject alien immigration to strin- gent regul The temptation of people in older countries to get rid of their black sheep by shipping them to a for- | eign land is of course great. It is felt even in xhq older States of the Union. Only a short time ago | The Call directed attention to the action of a Judge | in Massachusetts who permitted a convicted forger | to go free “on condition that he would leave the State” That forger of course immediately took a train for the West and New England was happily | rid of him. Fortunately such practices are not likely to become common with us, but it appears that in Continental Europe a good many vagrants and ras- | cals are encouraged and helped to leave their coun- try for their country’s good and seek new fields in | Great Britain or the United States. Steamboats and railways have made migration easy to nearly all classes of people, and the result is that we are living in a period when migration is going on at a rate unprecedented in the world’s history. It is estimated that when the lists are footed up at the close of this fiscal year it will be found that fully 8oo,- 000 aliens have entered the United States since last June. and 163 of al ions. to South America and to Australia. It is therefore not strange that old communities should take ad- vantage of the huge stream to send along with it the refuse humanity they wish to get rid of. St. Louis hopes to obtain both national conven- tions next year as attractions to her exposition, but it is barely possible they may not be exactly the kind of expositions we would like to make in the eyes of foreign visitors. One of them is likely to be too much one-sided to be interesting, and the other too many sided to be comprehensible. A syndicate of capitalists is said to have offered the city of Pittsburg the sum of $500,000 a year for a monopoly of supplying water to the people; and now F Many thousands more are going to Canada, | a profit of $40,000,000 a year. This profit will be di- rect and will be increased by a such larger indirect profit, which comes to any country in the stability quiet anxieties in the East over the increase | of business.which follows stability of the medium | of exchange. 4 It is stated, significantly, that the Guggenheims have been for some time preparing for action, but saw no opportunity until increased, This came to thén when the United Sfates began buying silver for the Philippine’ coinage said that if the United States, China and Japan ould cease buying and conclude to- wait for a de- cline the syndicate is. zble to store and hold all the Mexican silver for two years. As this would ‘require the holding of 140,000,000 ounces, to do this at the present price requires a capital of $77,000,000, and that is a large sum to keep on the waiting list The highest product of silver by the United State was 63,500,000 ounces. In 1901 the yield was 000 ounces. So, if the syndicate undertake to buy store all the silver of both couatries for two year: must have a capital of $137,768,400, or a capital and credit united equal to that amount.- Such an under- consumption It is also < It is of intense interest to the owners of silver mines. The prospective -profits of the operation may induce them to make an alliance with the syndicate by which they will mine and hold their own’silver. But this will merely distribute the task without decreasing the reserve capital nc-rdrd‘ for its accomplishment How dertaken by financiers r, when the Mexican Government is taken operation, it may be successfully done: The great corners it products, except copper, have heretofore been in perishable property, such as foodstuffs. The element of perishability has had to be considered, and also the accidents that beset production. But the metals are non-perishable in a sufficient. sense to eliminate that risk, and only supply and demand have to be considered. As the nations can, in a pinch, re- sort tospaper currency, a new risk is presented. The United States, for illustration, is in a position to do away with silver dollar coinage entirely, and by a flex- ible currency system, for which we have an abundant gold basis, use silver only for subsidiary coinage. It would seem that this power is sufficient to hold in check any speculative rise in silver procured by stor- ing that metal and keeping it off the market. e s s The New. York politicians who are talking of Cleveland as a Presidential candidate are probably mindful that the silly season has come and aré talking just to pass the time away. B — ANOTHER PERPLEXITY. ROM time immemorial the Government of the United States has had trouble and worry over the affairs of men who come to this country and after obtaining naturalization return to their for- mer homes to live and to do business while claiming protection as American citizens whenever they deem it desirable to do so. Of late we have not had much trouble of that kind with European countries, for the status of naturalized Americans residing there hez { been fairly well established and agreed upon, but it | appears our Consuls are finding a good deal of dif- | ficulty in straightening out some of the numerous cases of the kind arising in South America. Consul Sampson, at Quito, Ecuador, recently re- ported to the State Department some of the difficu’- ties attending the claims of naturalized citizens, and in the course of his statement said: “I know one case in which a naturalized subject has resided for over forty years in the land of his nativity, without even visiting the United States, and cannot speak one word of English. Some such persons are engaged in mer- chandising, You may inspect their stock and not find a dollar’s worth that has been purchased in the United States. In many instances they have amassed fortunes, but not one dollar of it increased the wealth of the United States, and yet it seeks the protecticn of this nation. In prominent letters seen over the front of the door are the words ‘American praperty.’ In every possible way and by repeated assertions they claim American citizenship, and if an official repre- sentative of the United States dare question it the over-zealous citizen becomes indignant and informs the people are wondering what would happer if the monopoly were granted. It is announced that agricultural conditions are now of such a serious mature that it will be necesfw to import rice into the Philippines. This seems al- most like carrying coals to Newcastle, the official that the Government would not hesitate t- protect her citizens when abroad.” The Government of the United States of course does not concede that the naturalization of a citizen is weakened by residence abroad, no matter how long it may be continued. In fact, Mr. Hay recently wrote into account, as a passive but powerful partner in the | ‘;rc:nln of the various contests is that wherever the | opposition to the Republican party triumphed at all it attained its success on something in the nature of a socialist platform. It thus appears that whatever the | conservative wing of the Democratic party may be .doing in the South, the Western rank and file re- main substantially true to Bryanism. There may be | no further campaigns for free silver, there may be no further renomination of Bryan, but the extreme Pop- . element of the party is in control in those States where there is likely to be a close contest in | | the next Presidential election. The men who will | go to the next Democratic convention from Illinois, | Ohio and- the Middle West generally will be follow- ers of Harrison and Johnson. They will confront the claims of the conservatives by painting to the suc- cesses ‘they have achieved while the conservatives | | were plotting in secret or feasting at ten-dollar ban- quets. Thus whether Democracy as a whole desires | to follow socialist pregrammes in the future, it ap- | ulisti to | land delegation to the national convention. section, therefore, as well as in soc pears quite likely that it will be forced to do so in | the next campaign or sacrifice every chance of carry- ing any State in the Middle West. |'showing themselves sufficiently formidable to compel the Democrats of those States to compromise with them, and in a large measure co-operate with | State for a Democratic candidate for the Presidency, but they can give assurances of carrying a city now and then, and accordingly they will not be without in- In that Hlinois and Ohio, listic Democracy is apt to triumph ever con- a Bryanite despite all that the reorganizers can do.
