Russia. then 8 per cent. now 20 per cent. AustriaHungary. then 11 per cent. now 26 per cent. On the other hand. the immigrants that con. from Germany and the United Kingdom are decreasing in the rate of illiteracy. You are not only bringing enough from the south and east of Europe every year to make the population of a sovereign State. but you are increasing the percentage of illiteracy every year. I make this challenge to the gentleman: Never in all the trials that the children of men have made of republics did they ever admit strangers from other countries to partake in the affairs of their government. Why. the Greeks put strangers to death if they raised their voice in the assemblies of the people. No man who did not live at the city of Rome could ever become a suffragan. You have loaded the ship of this Republic to the sinking point. and there is not a manand there are learned men herewho can justify our immigration laws in the light of the history of the republics of the past. I want to pass to another question. if the gentleman is through.
