But this is no longer to be so. We are to have a change. You propose to solve the immigration question by making it no longer desirable to come here. No need for a law restricting immigration if the Wilson bill is to be the law of the land. You will be troubled with no immigrants. No patents will be taken out for smoke consumers. and those already issued will become worthless. for this bill will prove and is designed to prove the most perfect smoke extinguisher ever devised. But he who alleges our present system has been a clog and weight. a crime against labor. certainly assumes a heavy burden of proof.
