Chairman. I dont quite understand just what the gentleman means. If he means that we want no immigrants except men who must work to live. he is entirely correct. But when he is worked in this sense the immigrant is not injured. hut improved. He is worked in the widest and most productive field of labor in the world. but of the abundance le creates he receives an equitable share. The gentleman from Alabama spoke of restricting immigration to the viiftuous. Mr. Chairman. it is precisely to the virtuous that I think it should be restricted. and my object in taking the floor now is to suggest a test for virtue that is absolutely infallible and which every opponent of this measure would be very glad to see imposed on everyone seeking admission to our population.
