Speaker. I propose to call the attention of this House to a significant circumstance. During the last calendar year over six hundred thousand foreigners have landed upon our shores. Where has this vast stream of immigration poured itself? You ma draw a line commencing at the mouth of the Delaware River aog the southern border of Pennsylvania. along the northern boundary of West Virginia. to the Ohio River. along the Ohio River to its mouth. through Missouri along the southern border of Kansas and Colorado. onto thePacific. North of this line ninetenths of these immi grants have located themselves. Now this. while it is an imaginary geographical line. is based substantially upon a great historic event.
