T he depths of hypocrisy are sound-
id by some newspapers and politician*
n the waU going up about the “dan
er* of pauper immigration to Amer
can Institutions,” etc., etc. «In the
>rnad sense all Americans are lmmi-
'rante, or descendant* ot immigrants,
■nd the exceptions are taken only to
the importation of those foreigners
eho are really a detriment to tbecourt
try. But the policy of Importing the
nost vicious and ignorant classes be­
cause they furnish the cheapest labor
lhat the great mining and manufac­
turing and railroad interests can get
bold of, to one that has been especially
oskred. In one year alone 7000 na­
ive-bora Americans were discharged
[rom en^>loya>ent In tbe mines and
factories of Pennsylvania alone and
their places filled by specially imported
foreigner* of th* lowest classes. There
was no outward trace ot n violation ot
the anll-conti set labor law relating to
ImmigraLts, but the places left vacant
by the discharge of the native-born
Americans were quietly, smoothly and
permaueatly filled from the ranks of
tb* immigrants, just tbe sama.
T he reading public has learned to
lake tbe average railroad rumor “with
a grain of salt,” but they are generally
read with interest nevertheless. The
report that the Santa Fe is soon to
pass into the control of the Southern
Pacific under tbe terms of a proponed
merger offers a good case in point,
Western residents generally, and Cal-
Torn Ians especially, will hope that
here is nothing in this story. The
anta Fe and the Southern Pacific are
bo two principal roads now operating
i that part of the country, and the
ivalry that has heretofore existed be-
ween them has resulted In a much
tore rapid development of the West

Evidence That Traata Sall Cheaper
Abroad Thao a* Home.
The much disputed question of how
much cheaper tbe trusts sell their prod
nets to foreigners thau to the people of
the United State* has been sattled as
far as steel rails are concerned. The
evidence was produced by Senator Ba
con in a speech made in the. senate
April 25. He conclusively sl^ws by
the evidence of Mr. Wright, general
»auager of the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah Railroad company, that be
bad paid «29 a ton for steel rails for
hla railroad which tbe steel trust of­
fered to sell fur «20 if exported to
Honduras. Mr. Wright, wbo la a Re­
publican, was quite indignant at being
thus plundered by the steel trust and
says;
“We, American citizen*, paid to thia
American industry «38,000 In excees of
what foreigners would have been com­
pelled to pay.” ▲ bonus in excess of
«600 a mile is quite a stiff tax to pay
the steel trust, and Senator Bacon stat­
ed that the railroads of the United
States have for tbe six years beginning
in 1898 and ending in 1903 uaed 12,
544.242 ton* of steel rail* and paid for
them «150,530,904 more than the same
rails would have been sold for to for
elguers. This enormous extra profit
from Americans la arrived at from th*
testimony of Mr. Schwab, who was
president of the steel trust, that rails
could be manufactured for «12 a ton
and sold at a fair profit Ln thia country
at «16 a ton. Th* average price during
the alx years for which the computa
tion Is made waa «28 per ton, which is
the price today. Th* difference be­
tween «16 and «28 makes tbe amount
stated by Senator Bacon.
Moat people would not be especially
interested in how much tbe steel trust
plunders the railroads, except that the
high prices of rails undoubtedly add
to the rates for passenger and freight,
so that tndlyectly «very on* that use*
the railroad pays his share of that
enormous bonus.
The tariff duty on steel rails la «7.84
a ton, and this tax prevents foreign
rails from being imported end thus
keeping the price within reasonable
bounds. Mr. Schwab also said in his
testimony that foreign countries could
not manufacture steel rall^ for lees
than «19 a ton, which. If freight and
duty are added, would make them coet
about «28, the price the trust chargee.
With this evidence of plunder that
the tariff allows the troet. who, except
the “stand patters,” will say that the
«.teel trust schedule should not be re
vised? And the evidence that the aams
tariff plunder la fostering other trust*
In like manner la tbe reason the Dem
ocrate demand that all tb* schedules
that shelter trusts should also be re­
vised.
TRUSTS ALL POWERFUL.
Tkeg Coaa*letely Dwmlaat* t*« Me-
pwbUeaa Party.
The “Iowa Idea” has been over
thrown In the state of its birth, aa far
a* th* Republican leaders can do *o.
At th* Btate convention to elect dele
gates to tbe national convention tbe
platform adopted was of the ata nd pat
order, though there was a considerable
objecting minority. The same tactics
were employed aa Ln the Republican
state conventton of Maseacbuaetta,
where Senator Lodge told those del*
gate* who were demanding reciprocity
with Canada that their place was in
the Democratic party. If tb* propor­
tion of delegatee in either of tbeae con-
ventionr that favored tariff revision
are becked up by the same per cent of
voters, there are more than enough to
turn those strong Republican states
over to tb* Democrats If they elect to
do so.
Th* trust* ar* now con.^'eting in
many foreign markets against these
foreign products that the protection
1st* fear, and are evidently undersell
Ing th* foreigners, or tbe trusts would
not export their products there. To
reduce or abolish th* tariff on these
trusts’ products would not therefore
allow the foreign products to be im­
ported here, for th* freight and
chargee alone would be a barrier. Of
course tbe trusts under a 10 per cent
tariff would have to reduce their
prices 30 or 40 per cent to meet these
new conditions, and th* consumer here
would gain that much.
There may be some industries here
which would need greater protection
for a time and tbe tariff on article*
of luxury would still be continued and
perhaps Increased. For Instance, the
tariff rate on diamonds is now 10 per
cent, there Is no reason why it should
not be 50 per cent Tbe tariff rate on
refined sugar la about 00 per cent,
there is no good reason why it should
not be reduced to 10 per cent, except
that th* enormous profits of tbe sugar
trust would be decreased. Would that
ruin th* country or reduce wage*?'
Tb* platforms of the Republican
state conventions adopted this year
show that tbe trusts and corporations
have mor* influence with tb* lead«rs
than th* voters of that party have, for
in every state except Idaho tbe plat­
form» deciare for protection and for
wbat baa come to be known aa “stand
pat” Th* Republican national con ven
tlou will make a Mve declaration. There­
fore those Republican voters wbo be­
lieve that the tariff shelter* trusts
will, for their owe saivatloQ, aid in th*
election of the Democratic ticket.

George E. Roberts, United State«
mint director, was in Portland lately,
while en route to Alaska.
Mr. Roberts expressed the belief
that there will be no more silver dol­
lars ooined for many years, if more
are ever coined, because the 155,060,-
000 ounces of silver bought during
1890-03 has been used up and tbe gold
production of tbe country bas increas­
ed to such a remarkable extent. Gold
production in tbe world has trebled
in 10 years, he said, from «120,000,000
in 1890 to «333,000,000 last year. For
tbe fiscal year about «200,000,000 in
gold will have been coined.
Most of the coinage of the past year
has been in copper cent pieces and in
nickels, tbe profits to the government
on these two kinds of money having
been about «2.000,000. A pound of
copper coating tbe government 15
cents can be coined into 1444 coppers;
and a pound of nickel, coating the
government 40 cents, can be coined
into «4 worth of flre-ceot pieces.
Pennies are coming into general use
from ocean to ocean.

either a mint or an assay office being
established in Portland or in any other
city, because he believes there are
