We are about to reach out and take by the hand thousands who will come. and make their homes among us. Shall we look eastward to the older States and to Europe. or shall we look westward to Asia ? Shall the Caucasian or shall the Mongolian be invited to be colaborers with us in building up the State ? Labor has been and will continue to be the capital of the immigrant. To European immigration America has heretofore offered higher wagos and more abundant means of support than the homoe country. Labor therefore. both skilled and unskilled. has fdown to us from Europe. constantly swelling our ranks and enriching the c u_3. with its industry and genius. To this source our nation has owed th e wenderfel impetus of our progress in. wealth and numbers.
