It seems to me that the highest right of an American freeman is to utilize the time and the faculties that God has given him to feed himself and his children. and instead of depriving the citizen of this inestimable boon. which is the birthright of every freeman in my country. a right that has been purchased at the cost of forty centuries of conflict waged in the interest of larger liberty for men . I would close the gates of Castle Garden for a little season at least against that kind of immigration which is depriving the boy and girl of America of the rights and opportunities they ought to enjoy.
