Now. here is another extract from one of the Pennsylvania papers. in which Chairman Focht. of the joint legislative committee appointed to investigate the number of aliens in State institutions. presented his report to the house of representatives. Itis toolong for me to read. The substance of it. however. is that foreign countries make a business of gathering up their paupers and criminals and their other undesirable classes of citizens and shipping them here. and that our laws do not stop them and keep them out. consequently. that the charitable institutions of Pennsylvania today are overburdened to the extent that onehalf of their inmates are foreign born. and the American farmers and others are compelled to support those institutions for the benefit of the paupers who have been admitted here under our immigration laws. I will ask that this clipping be inserted in the RECORD. I do not know that anybody will ever read it. and I do not care whether they do or not.
