What condition of things would we havein ten years on the Pacific coast ? You will have very quickly 300.000 male adults. representing. if followed by women and children. a popalation of over a million and a half. Suppose. further. that this immigration should be stimulated by the industries in other sections of the country until it should be felt there to the same extent as on that coast. In time of financial distress what power could control the angry spirit of labor that would threaten every section of this land. that spirit which led to the most horrible disorders we have ever witnessed in times of peace. that spirit whose fierce manifestations brought appeals from shuddering State authorities for Federal aid and demands for an increase of the Army from the dismayed capitalists of the country? I hope never to see such a situation in my State.
