THE FOREIGN POPULATION.
One of the questions that occu
pies the attention of political
economists at present is"that of the
ljarge foreign population that is
constantly drifting to the Ameri
can shores. That imminent danger
jto our social institution, and even
our political existence as a free
jpeople, lurks in the aggretion of
population from such sources can
'not be denied. An eminent writer
in one the leading reviews, dis
cussing ,the subject says :
J "What will be the national
character of America fifty or even
twenty years hence ? Will these
heterogenous elements of popula
tion weld into one homogeneous
whole? Nearly one-third of the
people are foreign-born. How far
will these affect the original stock ?
England has passed through a sim
ilar process, but on a much smaller
scale, and spread over a thousand
years. The United States have
been absorbing have they assimi
lated ? for a generation, year by
year, as many people as form an
average German principality ; and
these settlers have increased and
multiplied. There are nearly twice
as many Irish in America as in
Ireland. In some states the Teu
tonic element preponderates. Wis
consin has a large Helvetian settle
ment, and Minnesota is a favorite
resortof Scandinavians. The char
acter of New England has already
undergone a marked change. The
Puritan character no longer pre
vails. Farms that had been owned
and tilled for generations by descen
dents of the original settles are now
in many cases in the hands of Ger
mans. The mill hands of Massa
chusetts, Rhode Island and Maine
are largely recruited by French Ca
nadians. Out of nearly five hun
dred thousand inhabitants of Bos
ton almost one-fourth are Irish.
Young New England has gone west.
"Whether its historic sturdy charac
ter will be impressed upon those
nascent states remains to be seen.
The cheerful optimism that is so
characteristic df the people believes
or hopes, that the common-school
system will adjust all such matters."
Undoubtedly our free school sys
tem, which places a corrective agent
at work to eradicate the viscious
ignorance of the masses who arrive
here, will go far towards averting
the danger, but it is nevertheless
an undeniable fact that some
restrictive measures should be ap
plied to regulate the number of
those candidates for immediate
change from vassal&ge to monarch
ial systems into independent Amer
ican sovereigns, that shall be sub
jected to the power of the free
shools at one time. The power to
Americanize may be limited and
the process should be carefully
watched.
The fact is apparent that when
farmers attempt a union of inter
ests and a consultation for mutual
benefit, the action is looked upon
with great disfavor, and the results
subjected to the prognostication of
sure failure. Not only that, but
often the effort is earnestly direct
ed towards throwing obstacles in
their way. Can there be any ques
tion as to the right and propriety
of the tillers of the soil uniting in
associations distinctively devoted
to their interests, but similarly
carried on as are trades unions and
organizations of all other trades
and professions? Certainly not.
Then why the opposition and de
termined effort to make nugatory
the works of such organizations.
The Farmers Friend says upon
this subject :
"We do not see what inherent
deficiency or disqualification there
is in a farmer that should deprive
him of a right enjoyed by other
citizens of the states. Merchants
band together in stock exchanges
and ask of the legislature the enact
ment of such laws as they want.
Lawyers through local and State
bar associations demand what
changes tney please in the juris
prudence of the commonwealth.
Physicians, through the State
Medical Board and other similar
bodies, demand the enactment of
laws for the protection of the medi
cal profession. Why. then, this
discrimination against the farming
classes ? Why shall not the farm
ers demand laws protecting their
interests? It is a lamentable fact
that the taxes of this State do not
fall with equal and exact justice on
all. It is a lamentable fact that
while various properties are fre
quently exempted from taxation
the farmer ever has to pay his
taxes to the last cent or see his
home mercilessly sold over the
head of himself and family. There
are many ways in which the laws,
as relating to the farming classes,
might be improved, and it is hoped
f iat those engaged in .agricultuie
will get down to earnest, united
work, to right the thing that are
wrong."
This is as applicable to the farm
ers of Oregon as it is to those of
Pennsylvania where the paper
quoted from is published. The
old biblical axiom isthatGod helps
those who help themselves, and
the tillers of the soil have the per
fect right to help themselves.

Practical inventions are con
stantly changing the mechanical
arts, and bringing new methods
and results into use.
The proposed substitution of india
rubber for metal in the, manufac
ture of horseshoes, says the Me
chanical News, is based upon var
ious supposed advantages, one of
these being that the former en
ables a horse to go easily over all
kinds of roads and rough or slip
pery ground without slipping.
The contrivance brought forward
for this purpose as to obviate in
one instance the necessity of using
an iron sho? which can be moved
mcmenlarily when the horse is
not traveling, and can also be used
when the horse is shod with an
iron shoe.
The poor old hat and coat scare
crow is to be relegated to the
things of the past.
A mechanical scarecrow has
been invented. This new inven
tion represents a man of "sports
manlike" appearance, standing
with gun in hand ready to fire at
the first intruder. The arm hold
ing the gun is made to move by
clockwork, which is inclosed in a
strong iron box at its feet, and at a
proper elevation it fires a shot
louder than an ordinary gun.
After the report the arm lowers.
The mechanism can be regulated
at the owners pleasure by a reg
ulator like a clock, and only re
quires to be wound up once a day.
Renewed attention is being di
rected to the Santiam mines, and
some rich developments are expect
ed from that region.
A small-pox scare in Albany,
without a case having been nearer
than fifteen miles, would be ridic
ulous.
