I saw the last harvest time where they were offering splendid wages for young men :to go out and engage in harvesting the crops. and boys went from college and engaged in the work and In that way helped pay their tuition and became better qualified for the exercise of citizenship in this country. The account of the per diem wages they received was amazing to some of us from the South. Now. in order to cheapen that process this amendment is Introduced to flood this country with Immigrants from those who have come into Canada and deny the boys of this country the -privilege of going out and earning money and acquiring health in the healthful exercise of harvesting the splendid crops grown in the Senators part of the country. I am unalterably opposed to this amendment being put into the bill. I believe the time has come for us to face resolutely against allowing the lower orders of a European or any other foreign country to be dumped here. and by virtue of their low scale of morals to make it distasteful to the young men of this country to engage in that kind of work. We have had that curse in the South. We have had that curse spread by virtue pf our lax Immigration laws all over the country. I would Infinitely rather have higher wheat and higher manhood and morality than to .hae cheaper wheat and lower manhood and morality.
