The silkstocking end of it is preferred in this measure. I want at this time to introduce a few facts in regard to those who *are to be barred from the United States in favor of James the butler. Last year. according to a recently completed report of the Department of Labor. the immigrants coming into this country brought in with them $40.000.000to be exact. $40.890.197enough money to build the railroads in Alaska that you are now contending about. These foreigners brought that amount of money into the country. but now under this bill. as you have written it. you will bar out S4.000 females. many of whom would make excellent servants and bring positive relief to the American housewife. Yet you propose in this paragraph to admit "James" and a few chauffeurs and a few valets and a few other domestic and personal servants whom the rich of this country want to bring in from Paris and London and Berlin.
