I am disposed to look at the matter not in a very altruistic sense. I do not know that I am opposed to foreign missions. but I generally prefer to take care of the heathen alout home first. and there are always plenty of them. So I think probably the better way would be to take not the altruistic view that we are going to furnish an asylumn for everybody that wants to emigrate from the land of his nativity. but that we are going to take care of our own people and improve our population that is coming in from abroad. as well as furnish a sufficient incentive and standard for the people of. our own country. Taking the latter view of it. waiving any further remarks on a number of distinguished professors in the country who are bent upon having a pure democracy or a higher grade of intelligence to manage the affairs of the country. leaving thehn for some subsequent occasion. I shall address myself principally to the improvement of our own iopulation.
