Now. about a million. as I say. on the average. come every year. people of substantially our race. people who are willing to live in the sweat of their faces. I would rather have. if need be. a thousand or ten thousand men come that can not read and write who are willing to work and help matter assume shape that is useful to the human family. than to have a hundred come that can read and write and who seek to live by "blackhands" operations or otherwise in the sweat of somebody elses faces. and therefore I protest against that illiteracy qualification. I can tell you how you can stop immigration to this country. You can do it by enacting laws that will cover all of the nearly 100.000.000 people in this countrylaws that in their operation will decrease the wage or the compensation of the people. however employed. in the United States. This million a year comes--what for?
