TEST OF ILL|TERACY
Senator Lodges Speech on the Bill
to Restrict Immigration.
UNDESIRABLE RACES TO Be SHUT OUT
What Has Happened Within the
Last Twenty Years.
MUST CLOSE THE GATES

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge today deliver
ed speech in the Senate on the bill to re-
strict immigration. In commencing MI.
Lodge said:
"Mr. President. this bill is intended to
amend the existing law, so as to restrict
still further immigration to the United
States. Paupers, diseased persons, con-
victs and contract laborers are now ex-
cluded. By this bill 1t is proposed to make
a new class Of excluded immigrants, and
add to those which have just been named
the totally ignorant. The bill is of the SIM
piest kind. The first section excludes from
the country all immigrants who cannot
read and write either their own or some
other language. The second section mere
ly provides simple test for determining
whether the immigrant can read or write,
and Is added to the bill so as to define the
duties of the immigrant inspectors, and 20
assure to all migrants alike perfect justice
and fair test of their knowledge.
Two Questions Arise.
Two questions arise in connection with
this bill. The first is as to the merits of
this particular form of restriction; the Sec
ond, as to the general policy of restricting
immigration at all. 1 desire to discuss
briefly these two questions in the order in
which / have stated them. The smaller
question, as to the merits of this particular
Evening star., 1896-03-16

less than the possibility of a great and
perilous change in the very fabric Of our
race"
Mr. Lodge continued: "If lower race
mixes with a higher in sufficient numbers,
history teaches US that the lower race will
prevail. The lower race will absorb the
higher, not the higher the lower. when the
two strains approach equality in numbers
In other words, there Is a limit to the ca
pacity of any race for assimilating and ele-
waiting an inferior race, and when you begin
to pour in in unlimited numbers people or
alien or lower races, of less social efficiency
and less moral force, you are running the
most frightful risk that any people can run
The lowering of great race means not only
its own decline but that OF human clvlllza-
tion. The reports of the treasury for the
last fifteen years show that the peril is at
hand. 1 trust that the prediction of science
is true, and II at the unerring instinct of the
race will shut the danger out as 1t closed
the door upon the coming of the Chinese.
"Mr. President more precious even than
forces of government are the mortal and
moral qualities which make what we call
our race While those stand unimpaired all
is safe. When those decline all is lmperiled.
They are exposed to but single danger, and
that is by changing the quality of our race
and citizenship through the wholesale in
fusion of races whose traditions and inher-
itances, whose thoughts and whose beliefs
are wholly alien to ours, and with whom
we have never assimilated or even been as
sociated in the past. The danger has begun.
1t is small as yet, comparatively speaking,
but it is large enough to warn us to act
while there is yet time and while it can be
done easily and efficiently. There lies the
peril at the portals of our land; there is
pressing in the tide of unrestricted immigra-
tion The time has certainly come, if not
to stop at least to check, to sift, and to re-
strict those immigrants. In careless
strength with generous hand, we have kept
our gates wide open to all the world. If We
do not close them we should at least place
sentinels beside them to challenge those who
would pass through. The gates which admit
men to the United States and to citizenship
in the great republic should no longer be left
rnp1arded"
