You ought to remember what has been the historic policy of the Democratic Party ever since it was organized and not force this thing upon your Debnocratic brethren. There are so many things to be said against this proposition that one hardly knows where to start. I say it is no proper test to impose upon immigration. You will exclude sober. honest. industrious. sound. healthy men and women. those are the people who helped to make this country what it is. It seems to me. gentlemen on the Democratic side. that you ought to pause and heed and consider some of the things that have been said in this debate on this question. You ought to weigh the testimony of those who come from the parts of the country where these people against whom you are inveighing live and move and have their being. It seems to me that if you give this matter careful and honest consideration you will vote down this literacy test on the roll call.
