AGAINST IMMIGRATION. figures Show Tide of Europeans is Increasing Each Year?Danger in Tho Largo American Cities is Already Apparent?This Export Thinks South Should Be Satisfied. , Mr. .J. II.

Last year there came lo thislii connI"y more immigrants than there | are people in any southern eitv or ^i iii any one ol sixteen southern states u and territories! And from parts and li sections of Kuropo which a few years s ago M'l.t us no immigrants! j: "It is i.ot so much the quantity as v the quality which alarms all thought- v Tul students of'the immigration pro- e Mem. it is certainly true that a mil- s lion aiiens is sulhcient !o over tax s Uncle Sam s assimilating powers, s since 02 per cent of the multitude I settles down in the big cities of six I iioiihcrn stales, but when one consid-jl <c,s tli.?: nine-lent lis of Iliis vast armvt^ of invaders is o|' a disliml alien race j and has race trails, characteristics an.I Icmlcucic-; as foreign, and every wliil as incompatible and unassiinii-i C ating as (he negro, the menace becomes all the more alarming. ' Willi regard lo (he character of j I this new immigration from xoul.i-ea-d > Europe and Western Asia let me' quo. what the late Commissioner of! Immigration al New York Citv, Mr. j William said in his last annual report : ! \ I he present laws do not reach a' targe body of immigrants who are 'I generally undesirable, because uninj.l telligent, of low vitality, of poor phv-'c sique, able lo perform onlv (he cheap- i i est kind of labor, desirous of set I linv: : ;i almost exclusively in I he cities, bv r 'heir competition tending p, reduce!, 'be si a inlaid of I i \ ing of the American i wagi worker, and unfitted either ment,-;!ly o,- morally for good eitizens.iip. j| would be qnile impossi- i hie to accurately slate what propor-1 lion of last \ ear's immi>.:ral ion should i be i las-ilied as undoiralde. 1 believe that al least .!()().()()() came here (of i the ti.'M.SS") that entered through Kllisj I Island) who although they may he' I able to earn a living, yet are not' I wanted, will he of no benefit to the'l country, and will, on the contrary he ! i a detriment because their presence j' will tend to lower our standards; and i it these same persons could have' ( been induced to slay at home, nobody, | < not even those clamoring for more 11 labor would have missed them. Their !i coming lias been a benefit chiefly, if! not only, to the foreign transporta-1' lion companies which brought them I here.' I lei e is a similar expert opinion. About a year ago Mavor McClellanj directed Dr. Darlimjiou. President of. the X. . Hoard ol Health to investigate the pushcart nuisance. At the) conclusion of the investigation the! doctor said among other things: * I ! have heard the assertion that immigration is necesary to carry on public works, to build railroads, to dig vanals and the like. Hut |ho present 'immigrants now coming over do not come for that purpose and will not do that sort of work. Xo. they prefer to become pushcart peddlers and to live in poverty in our cities, breeding crime and disease. They occupv our stiwds, the streets for which our tax payers have paid heavily. They in'terfrre with traffic and break the Jaws of sanitation which we have decided are necessary for the preservation of public health, etc. tl 'This is tlie class of people which the big foreign steamship companies, often in collusion with foreign governments and charitable societies And it so profitable to bring -to America. Until the coming of these V :icw Slavic-1 bcrie or Mediterranean races, which are as incapable of absorption and amalgamation as their kindred negro race, tho .African, there were none of the serious immigralion in tho northeast which are now giving that section a taste of the importunate presence of an inferior race and awakening some appreciation ot what the south has-suffered Iroin the negro and the Pacific slope from the Chinese.' There is no end to first hand authorities along this line from whom I could quote to show the vital econonic. political, racial and social prodems which the present immigrain11 is cau>ing l!i<' northeast.

At the last lession of congress in response to a irons; demand for restriction a comirchcnsivc law was passed and adeI'lalc legislation would have been enicled, had it not been for the arguncnt that tne south was sorely in ieed o| lahor and would not only lake lie iucoiniiiM' hordes but would like to i.ive I lie surplus city popnlat ions distributed. ''Hut such would certainly be a real mistake in my judgment. Von lave a homogeneous population. Vour icople are happy and prosperous, our progress during the last quarter t a century has been unparalled in listorv. Your population and labor upply have increased faster, eom>ara lively, than that of the north k'ilb all its foreign immigration, rliere immigrants owing to their lowr standards of living and their conequent ruinous competition in the t rugv.lt1 tor existence have been a institution and not an addition to lie native population." )EANUT INDUSTRY PROMISES MUCH jontains more nutriment "Than does beefsteak. iMne Oils are Extracted?"Arachido Oil'' Said to be Preferred to the Best Olivo Oil for Table Uso. Washington cor. The Stale. Washington, Oct. 17.?Our old rieml the peanut, ground pea, pinla r, goober, groun' 'ut, is pronounc d I?\" the departinent of agriculture iere as a most valuable food for man iiul bea*l, containing more nutriment apahlc of being made into all kinds I -oi.d things. Peanut oil, known in he laboratories as "arachide oil," is upei iur in many respects to (dive oil. ^'1 |!| all the peanut, ground pea, etc., s a pretty good institution, and it is :oinv to come sonic of these days into Is own. I ne tut iterance of peanut oil manilactni'c in the I'nited States is the text ol an interesting report submitted by Consul I). 1. Murphy from Bordeaux, Prance. Among other things Mr. Murphy states that the innual value ol the peanut crop in Tennessee, Virginia and South Oar>lina is between $8,000,000 and $10,>00,000. Prom those figures, the accuracy of which Mr. Murphy does not, however, assert, he draws the conclusion that a very profitable indusIry might be established in the manufacture of arachide oil, if such an industry is not already in existence in the I nited States. I pon this he savs: "Arachide oil, when well clarified and fresh, is preferred to the best olive oil for table use by many people in this part of Prance. In Bordeaux tihe sales of arachide oil exceed those ot all other oils. Tn fact they are almost as large as the sales of all others combined. Over 50,000 tons of peanuts are brought lo this port, every year from the Preneh possessions in A.lrica. the average annual value of the peanut, .or arachide oil manufacture in this citv being over $2,000,. 000, An Excellent Table Oil. Not only is arachide a most excellent table oil, palatable, nutritious, and healtihful, and very much cheaper than olive oil, but it is employed.al* most exclusively in the manufacture of a high class compound lard. Por cooking sardines before packing it. olive oil I am told it is unsurpassed. The best quality of arachide oil is selling wholesale at about 90 to S2 cents per gallon a( this time, and lower grades at fro: . 55 to 05 cents. I he process of manufacturing the oil is simple, fhn n*:i-* being pressed in I lie same kind of presses used fur cot ton seed. The oil is elan tied in Ui same manner as olive oil, that is, b, filtering through lasers of a card ed cotton, the (ftialaty depeudiw largely upon the number of filtering and the degree of clarification attain ed. The residium is pressed inti cakes, making an excellent and nutri tioits food for cattle. This cake i selling at from 15 to IS francos pc 100 kilos, or from $2.00 to j',.; ' every 220 pounds? j "There is not a particle of wast< in the manufacture. The shells an liii'dy ground, mixed wit!i commm molasses, pressed into rakes, and uset as eatile loud. not s<i good. it is true as ilie cake made from the residium o tin' nuts, hut still nulritniiis and sell ing lor about one-third its price. T< make a hud which burns well anil gives great heal, the powdered shell* are mixed with coal dust and pressed into blocks. I'lie records of the Bordeaux consulate show that the exports of ara chide oil to (he 1'nited Slates for the past live years amounied to $1|.">,220.'' Interest in the food value of peanuts is heightened by a recent announcement from the department of agriculture, one of whose chemists has discovered I hat ten cents worth of peanuts contains more nutriment than two pounds of beefsteak. The department is making other experiments with a view So ascertaining the possibilities of (he peanut and I he oil extract from it.
