Show THE HH6RITWX OF JEfTS FROX RCSSIl. The long-continued oppression of the Jews In Russia Is beginning at last to bear trult. -We are Informed, by a reliable source of Information, tbat Russia is at present suffering from a commercial depression as the result of the cruel persecution of the Jews. There has (wen a rapid decadence de-cadence of tbe flour mill Industry, wh'ch has raultcd in a considerable decliue in the price of corn. Many of these flaur mills were the property of the Jews, but as the government prohibited therafrom living outside of thu limits prescribed for the residence of members of their faith, they were forced to abandon their busiuess, and their mills have in comequence stood Idle. The Aoiosfi exr.retea tbe 0 Inlon thai llio wholesale expulsion of th Jews from the industrial dlttrlct i-jtiO i-jtiO of the principal causes blnral the root of the present critical condition con-dition of Itussian commerce. Not only is Ilussla suffering in tlie unuiual-leprcs'Ionof her commercial commer-cial Interests, Lut she Is suffering: far more In thsaJvcrse Judgment of the civilized world in consequence ol ler criminal conduct toward these long aflllctvd but patlont people Mr. Glul.touo has Ju't written to the LonJon Jeseaii Chronicle the fol'owiug: 'I havo read with piin. and horror various statements respecting" Uiesuflerlngsof the Jrwa In Rus sia. The only rocommenJsllou I ean give is that the active exertions if the newspaper press should be nvlted first to tlilft the reports and e&Ubliih the fact?, and then, If they be established, to rcuo the con tcience of Ilu'sla atd Kurope in re-,ard re-,ard to them." It woAld seem that there have been sufficient facts already estab IMicd to both awaken ahd shock the conscience of not only Russia and Europe, bat of the entire civilized world. The Russian atrocities vislt-ltlpon vislt-ltlpon these helpltsa and hopeless people, whose very weakness should iae been the pledge of their pro., tection, constitute tho foulest Insult toChrbtian civilizition since the ildcous persecution of the bloody Inquisition. AroUseJ-by the Dantesque story f Russian persecution, the Kngllsb mj Americans havo sought to alle-ria'e alle-ria'e the sufferings of these tortured unfortunates. Large sums of money nave been raised in their behalf. But instead of these noble efforts resulting In their relief, they have only increased the demands of Holy Russia through a glottic si stem of bribery. ' .cruelties have been invented in order that tho victims might again be boughtoff by foreign charity. The greedy tchlnovnlks have astcd blood, and their ravenons ap-wtite ap-wtite is whetted to its keenest edge. Their demand Is for Jewish blood or Wtttirn wealth. It Is tills apfor ently hopeless coudit on of atlairs bat is constantly increasing the tide of emigration. At the recent annual meeting of the United llebruw.Cbaritlrs held u this city, 5t was reported that ihere were SJ,32 Hebrew Immi grants who LinJed at 2Cew York iaa year, and 2i.6T4 tho previou-j previou-j ear. And now we nre Inrece'pl if dlpatches that report large uum-m uum-m of Jewish omlg'-'nta who are irimr KuMIasurreptitiouly. Do-Pile Do-Pile the order IssueJ by the Rus-iaii Rus-iaii Government prohibiting the 'migration of peasant, it Is rciiort- ' ed tbat r.03,0 Polish Hebrews havo eft Russia for Ilrazll. TIio Warsaw Courier, iu order to furnish a full and authentic recount Vf the txptrleuces of tho3e emigrants, emi-grants, has engaged M. Dymasln-ski, Dymasln-ski, the noted novelist, to join a party of them without dlcIoslng his I Jeulily. He will embody the experiences ex-periences of the patty In a series of articles which will be published by tho Courier. Mr. JHalne, Secretary cf SUte.ha had preinred ntiJ printed a document docu-ment of 14-pages In answer to the question rolaUvo to ''tho enforcement enforce-ment of prescriptive edicts against the Jews In Ru-eia." This action 'jy Mr. Itliina was in compIUncc Altli the resolution of the JIoum; of lUitesen(ativcsof August I'd of lhi tear. The President had tho docu nent(Xo 470) tncsmitted to tho tIoueou the 1st of OctoUr. In January, IS:!', a similar 'reoIjUon was alontnl btr Ihu t!oj of Representatives "relative to the expulsion of American Israelites Is-raelites from Russia and the pere cutlonof the Jews in the Russian empire." In May, IS32, President Arthur sent to the Hou-c a full selection of tho correpondence on the flies of the Department of Htate relative to the subject, and this li known as Document 149 of tlie Forty seventh Congress. In these twodccumenbi there is presented III c most convincing proof of thu .anion cruelty on the pari of the Russiau government toward the Jcvg. A writprnn IhU ti1iTff In I1.n last is-ue of iUaciicouil t Magazine, tells how Peter the Great tried to open a window so as to let light into Rusla,but tint Aloxanderlll., having found windowsaJreadyopeu, Is delPimlned to excludo tho observations obser-vations of Ills neighbor", aud so he has resolutely put up the shutterx. Rvery possible means is now resorted to in order to conceal tho truth about thesj Russian outrages and to bailie the hateful curiosity of theforeigner. Notwithstanding tills systematic tecroey on the part of the Russian government. Mr. lllalnc with i.i. usual penetration and lhorojghne, has torn the mask of deceitful concealment con-cealment from the hideous features of tho Russian ogre, and exposed Its true character to the light of clvilf. zition. True to the genius of her consU-iulioual consU-iulioual principles, America has espoused tho cause of these downtrodden down-trodden people, and demanded a redress re-dress of their grievances. The enlightened en-lightened nations of Kurope, under tbestimulusof tho American spirit, are already checking Russia in her derisive arrogance, and calling her toanacco'int for the cruel wrong so long ensured by the unhappy Jews within her Jurisdiction. No movement, with a sacred truth throbbing at Its heart, ever had for its fulcrum tho rights of man bat that It eventually overthrew iu enemies. Russian tvnnrl..l,i I The darkness of despotism is dhal-patlng dhal-patlng and tbe day cf liberty is dawning. And soon amid the trembling hushof culminating won-,,.tb," won-,,.tb," tun of universal freedom will rise in the dusky East, and ride the circuit of the heavens, In all Its regal splendor, to bless the bcaits and brlghteu the homes of men throughout the earth.
