the leading statesmen Of our republic,
are publicly expressing regret that
baron de- FaVa. the Italian ambas.

connivancc IN cncs nrngcmcn. of that
system, tens of thousands of Italian
pdupcrA have been annually sent To
America. until the total amounts Ia
hundreds Of thousands. This country
protects itself against inSnsiOns from
China; bars nut the honest industri-
Gus slaves ~ the siN companies. and
encourages the slaves from Italy who
come here to toll for incNorablc mas.
