Mr. President. that the Senator from Iowa is correct. The immigration into Iowa is of an exceptionally excellent kind. and I apprehend that in most of the Northern States where there are not great cities into which is pouring an almost overwhelming influx of immigration the percentage of illiteracy will be found to have decreased. according to the census of 1890. But I repeat that. in the Southern States and in several of the Northern States where there are large cities into which this immigration pours. it is more than probable it will be found that the illiteracy has increased rather than diminished. and it is quite likely that the total percentage of illiteracy in the United States will be found to have increased rather than diminished during the decade. Mr. President. with this great evil upon the country. why should not the nation help remove it?
