President. nor is it necessary that we should make it a boast. The fact is that the sedate opinion and judgment of the world is that we have attained through our institutions a position in relation to the other nations of the world whk ch is really one of supremacy. The rapidity of our growth is entirely unexampled and unexpected really to ourselves. and we find that we are now compelled to put checks upon immigration into this country in order to prevent the thrusting out from the inheritance that our fathers have left us of the nativeborn children of this land. I believe that ours is the only Government in the world that carries a large surplus in its Treasury from taxation which. although it is very heavy and very oppressive. still is laid in such a manner that very few men are able to point out the particular interest in which they are injured. the particular point at which the distress is inflicted upon them. No nation that ever existed has mastered an enormous national debt in the same period that our people have and with as little distress.
