As to whether the passage of repressive legislation will suppress anarchy in this country. I have my own particular views. I believe that as long as we open our ports to all kinds of immigration. as long as our industrial affairs are so ordered that after admitting unnumbered thousands of unfit immigrants into this country and piling them up by scores in single rooms in tenement houses and garrets in our cities and impounding them in improper quarters in mining regions. where they have no opportunity. even if they had the desire. to learn the nature and beneficence of our institutions. and few of whom desire to become Americans for the sake of being Americans. you will have anarchists in this country. Anarchy is the child of misery. The accursed creed can find no lodgment in the mind of a man reared in our country. unless he is an utter pervert. but if we are going to allow the steamship companies and the corporation agents to ransack the four corners of the earth for the unfit. to bring them here in enormous numbers. and thrust them upon our people. investing them with the elective franchise and threatening our laborers with reduction to their level. depend upon it you have not heard the last of anarchy. [Here the hammer fell.]
