I say that it is the fixed policy of the Government of the United States to go into the public Treasury for the purpose of educating the people. We are now devoting empires of the public domain for the purpose of educating the people of the United States. We arenowabout to bring forth a bill before this House. thatwill unquestionably pass. making an educational qualification necessary to every immigrant who comes to this soil. It has been the policy and it is now the policy of the people of the United States to govern the inhabitants of the United States as much as possible through education. Therefore when you strike at the Sunday edition of the newspaper. when you strike at the edition of the country press. when you strike at these cheaply bound books that go to the little postoffices away off from the railroad. under the provisions of existing law. you strike at the educational facilities of this country.
