Colorado. and other mining States and nearly all places where there are manufacturing communities will soon cease to be American communities and become mere colonies of brutalized aliens. thousands of whom do not seek to learn our language or desire to learn the nature of our institutions. They are tempted to come to our shores by the one consideration that they can obtain a little better wages. save a little money. and return to their native countries after a term of years. Is the American Congress going to respond to the demand for the suppression of this kind of immigration? The time is coming when a mere stump speech on the hustings by a lawmaker. citing the passage of such a measure as this. will not be received in quittance of our obligation to limit the immigration. not of beggars. cripples. organ grinders. and thieves. but of ablebodied laborers. most of whom are brought here by the great corporations and "captains of industry." Mr. Chairman. I need not cite any proof that the complaints of the American laborer. who is the sufferer from this great evil. are just.
