I speak within my knowledge. because I spent four years in the acaqemic halls of Harvard University. and I am familiar with Massachusetts conditions. I have stood within the shadow of Bunker Hill Monument. amid the glorious memories of the Revolution. and wondered how. among such associations. the people of Massachusetts should prefer to be New English rather than old American. The assumption that the Immigration League of Boston has a monopoly of correct ideas on this subject is like the attempt to corner the Presidency of the United States. It must necessarily fail. because the spirit and the instinct of this people are against that which would bind their free will or impede their destined development. I wish to say in regard to the Stone bill that every man who has had any experience in consular or diplomatic affairs must know the absolute absurdity of that measure.
