But what have these restrictions to do with the greater and graver question involved? Absolutely nothing. From the beginning the laborers of this country have demanded the prevention of immigration. which is adding vast hordes of the lowest classes of European pauper labor to our population. We all know that this incursion of undesirable classes among the laboring classes is reducing the standard of living and the level of civilization in every city in the country and among all callings in which manual labor engages. Not only the seaboard cities. but all our large cities and the mining camps of Pennsylvania.
