Mr. President. I have not charged that illiteracy in this country is. due to immigrationm I certainly am obliged to the Senator for calling. attention to the misfortune of my State. brought about largely by the negro population and the misfortunes of the Civil War. I think I might with propriety answer the observation the Senator has -just made by saying that in view of the fact that in my State there is. such a large percentage of illiteracy. God* knows I do not want to increase It. by importing any from abroad until we get rid of what we have.
