Speaker. these were grand words. breathing a magnificent sentiment. We indorse that sentiment today. but the words themselves indicated that there was a line beyond which the nation might go and incur peril. The great influx of immigration. the conflict of diverse conditions. have seemed to throw a shadow over this country during the last ten or twenty years. and now we call upon such citizens as the gentleman from Missouri and those from his own honored fatherland who have influence in the American communitywe call upon them to join us in sustaining the dignity and the purity of the temple which our fathers built. We call upon them to join with us in guarding it against uncircumcised hands. so that it may be preserved through generations to come for such as may see fit to immigrate here from other lands and help to sustain and promote the highest and grandest and supurbest form of human civilization that the world has ever known.
