I am an optimist. but my observations on this question of immigration lead me to believe that the country needs good. ablebodied men and women. The country need not fear for its institutions nor for the glorious progress we are making all along the lines of patriotic American citizenship. This discussion has taken a very wide range. and I want to repeat what I said a little while ago. that I am heartily In favor of the bill that proposes to give the city of Philadelphia an iimmigrant station that is at least decent. I have no doubt that if my forefathers that came in here two hundred years ago could rise out of their graves they would dignify the situation as barbarous then as it is now.
