Irishsongsters were turning.the air to nelody. Irish statesmen were crowding Into the Halls- of Congress and into the Senate. and Irish merchants were making themselves. princes in the marts of trade. When the German tide of immigration swept into this country and when Holland poured a flood of her citizenry into our ports. the proscriptionist again stood with sour visage and denounced these people. They came and established themselves.in colonies. and then it was discovered that they filled our farms. with a citizenship that was superb and unsurpassed.. that they crowded into our colleges and seminaries of learning. that they brought with them music and art and letters and. with. all. the sturdy citizenship that maintained the law and upheld the flag: They. are in my State by the thousand. There.is no: protest from my State.
