thirty-two dollars worth is the one of all
others we should exclude. The presence
of these strangers, ignorant and unski1led,
is possibly the cause of whatever economic
distress the American workingman is sub
ject to. An incident of recent occurrence, |
the introduction of the deadly typhus into
this country, proves at once the ineffect,,
iveness of our present laws and the need
of stricter fundamental and administrative
laws. If our regulations are not sufficient
to exclude men afflicted with the visible
faint of disease, what shall We say of the
probability of the exclusion of individuals
suffering from the latent maladies of the
moral nature!
When measured by our political stand
ards many of the immigrants fall short OF
the requirements of American citizenship.
The English-speaking people have had
centuries of practice in self-eontrol, and
behind the present lie generations of self
restrained ancestors. These Immigrants
manifest most unfortunate herding dis
position. A little Hungary here, little
Italy there, mean that we have states
within states, with different languages,
customs and sympathies, maintaining an
attitude un-American, fostering and per
petuating national antipathies. Their
blighting influence is already felt in the
government of large cities.
Before the Owen committee of 1870 .
former Harvard professor said that this
country had been made the dumping ground
for the dependent and defective classes of
the British Islands. A commissioner of
immigration asserted that he had seen
immigrants with brands of foreign work
house ticketed to different sections of this
country. Mr.. McQuaid next described
proposed laws for the further restriction
of this evil and for the better execution of
the existing statutes, and after discussing
the nations right to exclude immigration,
he concluded: To the able bodied foreigner,
to the worthy poor and oppressed of all
nations, to those wishing to escape the
iron heel of despotism, Offering their hon
est labor in exchange for living, we
should extend hearty welcome, but to all
/ to the very institutions whose shelter
they seek let US present an impregnable
barrier of restrictive legislation. Let not
| our watchword be America for Americans,
but Americans for America.
In his closing remarks Mr.. Depew said:
Ladies' and gentlemen-I think you will
agree with me in saying that this debate
has been admirably conducted. The
| speaking has certainly been better than in
on the silver bill. Harvard has been elo-
quent, Yale argumentative. Harvard
gives facts. Yale knocks them down with
statistics. It is an excellent example of
how easy it is to make either eide appear
the right. When think of Yale's argu-
ments think the country is on the verge
of ruin from the evil arising from immi-
grafton. When I think Of Harvard's !
would give to the foreigners every office
which they do not yet hold. So in virtus
of my position as presiding officer, like the
l nr& oH 80 @e $Hn Of n1cHi

ant, "When you argue I think you are
right, and when the plaintiff argues
think he is right, I therefore dismiss this
court sine die"
