They renounce allegiance to all othergovernments and swear allegiance to the United States of America. and as a rule they keep their oaths. Confessedly. great as is our capacity to absorb these kindred nationalities it is likely to be taxed to the utmost in the near future. The immigration to our shores from Europe during the last year approached the magnitude of an exodus. This incoming tide of population is more likely to augment than diminish in volume. The condition of Europe. the gigantic military establishments kept up by European states in time of peace. the incessant wars they have waged and are likely to wage. the enormous debts they have piled up. the change in their monetary standard from gold and silver to gold alone. which has rendered the burden of these debts almost intolerable. the unhappy and restless condition of the Irish peasantry. these and other causes are likely to impel upon our shores in the near future growing masses of the European people. Undoubtedly. we have a problem from that section. but that problem is easily solved. because the immigrants coming to us from that quarter become homogeneous with organic aptitude and prepossession. But IT you add to the problem on the Atlantic front the problem on the Pacific front. the problem of unrestricted Chinese immigration. of Mongolian invasion. (for it will in time amount to an invasion if not arrested.) you will complicate in a large degree the diiculties that may surround this country in the visible future. The sound policy of this bill is maintainable on other grounds. The United States have already become a mighty power.
