Right here I wish to make an appeal in behalf of the people who at last are more vitally affected by this proposed reduction than any others: They are not of my race. they are a class of people whom this Government found as kneeling slaves and whom by its swordstroke it knighted with manhood. and with its kindly grasp raised to the dignity of American citizenship. There are men. women. and chiliren400.000 of themdependent upon this industry. They are poor. they are uneducated (that is no fault of theirs). they are improvident. They are not fitted as the AngloAmerican is to emigrate from place to place and engage in this or that occupation as necessity may require. The eternal stigma of caste is against them everywhere. They are tied to that soil.
Identified stereotypes
The speaker generalizes that this group is poor, uneducated, improvident, and unable to adapt to new situations.
