But I am not favorable to the proposition of turning loose in this country an unfriendly and ignorant class of people who compete with American labor. degrade American manhood. and conspire against American institutions. Our civilization has derived much of its vigor and its varied strength and power from the different nationalities which have fed the intellectual and moral forces of our land. but they. come to stay. they come with a deep love for our institutions. they become a part of the national life. enter into its spirit and .1ts purposeloyal. capable. and brave. But the Immigrant :.who lands here with a halfintelligible curse upon his lips for .the Government to whose shelter he has fled should be turned back to await the regeneration of heart and mind which will bring him to a realization of the value and worth of this refuge. The people in this county are calling for greater power in governmental affairs. a wider range of duties. and a far more difficult class of obligations to be performed by the people. The abuse which has been made of delegated powers is bringing about a desire to resume those delegated powers with the intent upon the part of the people to exercise them more directly.
