With severe restrictions put upon
Immigration and the passage and en-
forcement OF good laws, the criminals
OF this country will soor become an
unknown quantity, and the country,
will produce through it's variation in
soil, climate and cosmopolitan nature
of it's people, classes of citizens su-
perlor in intellect, honorable char
acteristics and pure motives to those
of any other country in the world.
1t is a noticeable fact that q
great mass of foreign-born citi-
zens are better Americans than
a great many who are native
born, because they have had the ex-
perienne of laws in their native lands
which were unjust, tyrannical or OPP
pressive, and being intelligent per-
sons, know how to discriminate and
appreciate what is for their ewn good,
and for the good of society; and they
have sworn effegiance to this country
and adopted our laws and customs in
such manner as to show that they
have become citizens in heart and
soul.
There are no restrictions placed up
on man, regarding his religion, color
CT preVioas condition ct servituds, as
to his qualifications to hold office either
under the Government or State. Be-
fore that sad event in our history
the Civil War-color was an import
ant qualification in matters Of citizen
ship, but with that qualification dis
appeared slavery, the greatest curse
upon humanity.
While those who enter our borders
on the EAST mix among us and anal.
gamate with US, and become q part
OF us; those who enter on the West
and are smuggled over the other
borders will always be Cinnamon,
and will always retain their charac-
teristic Of beng thoroughbred.
Their oustomfeAnd tabtes, which seem
to be part of them, are SO different
from those Of the Caucasian Race
that they will never lose their iden-
tity and become thoroughly Ameri-
| can. Our laws regarding this race
are being we'll looked after in Con-
gress and cannot be helped at present
by further discussion on our part. In
order to thoroughly appreciate our
political and social condition in the
United States, where every man in
the eyes of the law, void of offense, is
on the same level with every other
man, we will have to glance towards
Europe and Asia. In Russia q per-
con hardly dares to breathe his po-
liticai ideas to his own family for fear
that by some mischance he might be
exiled to the wilds of Siberia to
spend the remainder of his life in the
mines of the Gear, and be subject to
the most cruel treatment and star
walton.
In none Of the European countries
can a man own an inch Of ground in
fee simple, as it belongs either to the
Grown or Government, who never
alien their rights. In Germany wagee
are 80 smais that people almost starve
to death while working at their ut,
most capacity. In Ireland after the
landlord receives his rent, there ie
nothing left the tenant. And even
in "Merfy" England competition is to
great that there are thousands upon
thousands, each OF whom works foI
only few pence a day. In Japan
the will of the Mikado is the law and
in China Tor some trivial offense in
the eyes Of the Great MoguI---off goes
your head. Undoubtedly We, as 6
Nation, are the blessed Of Gods PEG
pie to-day.
