Foreign immigrants are arriving in this country i'll greater nun. 5ers than ever before, and the worst feature of it is that they are gene rally the least desirable class. They are mostly from Southern Europe, ignorant and often de prayed, and having been accas- toned to a system of seryitu de but little above that of actua slay- cry, arc admirably calculated to take the place of American labor eis in mines and factories and on public works, being docile and like donkeys, easily driven, and willing to work for mnch smaller wages than Americans. This country IS not only tie refuge for the oppressed, but also tor those who leave their country for their eonntry's good. 1t has been as eertalned thousands of this riff raff are actually aided by their home governments to get out and away, for their room is much more desirable than their presen- ce.
