Now. does not the gentleman from A!abama believe that the holding of a large p. r cent of the population in the position of serfs rather than of citizens drives away. in point of fact. the intelligence and valuable emigration from Europe? Is it not a fact that the discriminati( u by law against the citizenship of the colored man is one of the strong obstacles in the way of the coming to the South of the immigration that has been coming to this country that is valuablethe Gelman. and especially the Scandinavian? Now. one other thing. These people who are going from Ohio and Michigan and so forth into the South are going there. are they not. simply to develop your resources with their money. and is it not a fact that the population coming from these States. which the gentleman has enumerated. into the Southern States. are going there by reassn of the purchase of timber. as in the State of Arkansas. and of many thingstimber. coal. and ironas in the State of Alabama. and all that?
