Hungarians. and Bulgarians have been imported. They do not assimilate with our people. and never can any more than the Chinese. They interfere with our own citizens who labor. native and naturalized. and take from them their legitimate employment. There is no question that should appeal more strongly to the statesman. philanthropist. and patriot than the condition of the laborers of this country. The wonderful skill and ingenuity of the American people has wrought such marvelous improvement in laborsaving machinery that it in large measure does the work of man until the hand of the skilled mechanic is rarely found. and there is an overproduction. and there can scarcely be said to be employment for the labor of this country. if not now. that time can be anticipated in the near future.
