Speech #540082095

That is all I intend to say to you. I do not yield for an interruption. Here is a document furnished to me by the Immigration Commissioner. and comes down as late as January. 1896. I desire to read from it what some of the governors of the States say about immigration: Arkansas.-We prefer American. German. and English immigrantsfarmers. You will notice that nearly every one of these governors here says that there is a dearth of farm hands and that they need farm hands all over the South. Why should we not be permitted to have them through immigration? Simply because a few cities are overcrowded with undesirable immigrants?
