gress and power Of the country, and while
we welcome to our shores the well disposed
and industrious immigrant who con-
tributes by his energy and intelligence to
the cause Of FREQ government, we want no
immigrants who do not seek our shores to

should receive none who come to make
war upon our institutions and profit by

such our gates must be tightly closed
The soldiers and sailors of the union

must not make their lives or condition

relief In old age or distress, nor regard
with disdan or contempt tho earnest in
tercst one comrade naturally manifested

Doubtless there has beon pension abuse
and funds in the numerous claims allowed
by the government, but the policy govern

No deserving applicant should ever suffer
because Of II wrong perpetrated by or for

government tho best they had. They
freely offered health, strength, limb and
life to save the country in the time Of its

are justly entitled to generous aid in their
