I am afraid it is that. Our country is taxed enormously to raise its labor. It has had no immigration from white countries. It will never have any while the negroes are dominant in that remgion. There is not a gentleman on the floor of the Senate from a Northern State today who would send his son down into an agricultural district in Alabama. no matter how rich the land was. to become a farmer. and yet that same gentleman would jump at the opportunity of sending his son out to take a farm in Wisconsin. Unfortunately. under the circumstances by which we are surrounded we can not have white immigration into our country. We have to raise our labor at a thousand dollars a head to the time when they are twenty years of age. You import your labor. raised with no tax upon your community.
