trict Meeting Jr. o. U. A. NJ.
WHEREAS, there is no question con-
fronting the present Congress of the
United States that requires more serious
or prompt consideration than that of immi-
grafton. And
| WHEREAS, we see hundreds of thousands
| Il vSas<, Iorr l1l
| our shores, we feel thrill of alarm, end
| ask ourselves, can the vital system of our
| beloved country receive these shiploads OF
vicious humanity with safety? We recog-
nize the fundamental principle of our gov
ernment, to welcome the oppressed to oul
shores, but when this welcome endange,s
republican form of government as we'll al
the health and prosperity of this people
then we demand a suitable restriction b.
placed upon the evil. And
WHEREAS, we recognize that there ar
two classes of immigrants, viz the de-
srable and the undesirable; 1t IS In TN
, latter class we find the ignorant, the pau
t per, the diseased and criminal. Ii is the ar
rival of millions of this class during the las
decade that causes US to view the sltuatlo
j, with alarm. And
e WHEREAS, we are receiving a create
/ number of the undssira BILE than desirabl
class as is shown Bg the fact that fro1
Poland, Russia, Italy and Hungary, tn
~ countries from which our undeslrapi
, come, are greatly increasing while thos
from England, France, Ireland and Gei
many, the countries from which tn
! most desirable come, are making no ms
terial increase.
WHEREAS. sixty perc ept of those con
le ing from Poland, Russia, Italy and HUI
IS garia are unable to read or write. And
10 WHEREAS, importation into this countr
n OF such large per cent otigDorant person
G, is directly responsible for large amour
lr the crime committed. And.
le WHEREAS, only about thirty per cent {
our population is foreign, yet, om1tt1n
20 colored persons, fifty one per cent of oil
10 penitentiarv population is of foreis
element. In the juvenile reformatorie
~ omittlng colored persons, sixty-s1x
those OF known nativity are of foreig
'e element. OF the almshoUse pauper
~ omitting colored persons, fifty-nine p
u cent OF those of known nativity are
ng foreign element. And
WHEREAS, it is frequently asserted th
foreign courts have released criminals
suspended sentence, under promise, fro
them, that they would emigrate to Anne
.oI lea. And,
,ol WHEREAS, we find that in 1850 we b.
= only one criminal for each three thousal
ol five hundred persons, while forty yea
he later,-1S90, we have one for each sev
Ir. hundred and sixty persons-an increase
~ four hundred and sixty per cent, while O
population has increased only seventy T
ler cent.
