I have endeavored to look at it from the high standpoint of national honor and true statesmanship. I am sure this bill ought not to pass. and thatevery man who votes for it will in the end most deeply regret it. I would protect our people from the evilsgrowing out of foreign immigration by the humane. just. and reasonable legislation I have already suggested. and beyond this. I would welcome men from all lands and climes. I would bring them in contact with our civilization. teach them our language and our laws. instruct them in our labor and industries. educate them in our schools and colleges. let them feel the power and influence of our holy religion. inspire them with our hopes and patriotism. imbue them with our ambition. as fast as possiblemeet and crystallize them into our social life. and then set upon their heads the crowning glory of American citizenship.
