If I were an Irishman or an Englishman and located in this country. and if I knew of some nice relative. it might be a lady who was capable otbeing a clerk in a drygoods store. I should like tobring her in.but no. says the Senator from New Hampshire. "you can not bring herin if she does not sing. or lecture. or act on the stage." and therefore she can not come. If I were an Irishman who had been here only about a month and filed my naturalization papers before this proposed law was passed. I might like to send a little money back to my brother perhaps or to my son in Ireland and say." I have established the business here of a hatter or a shoemaker. and I propose to carry it on. and if you wil come and join me I will give you so much money to pay your expenses. or advance it to you so that you may come to this free and good country and share in its blessings."
