From Henry we delight to quote thatWe can only judge the future by the past. I have no lamp to guide my feet but experience. I call attention to the faet that immediately following the great wars of the world immigration has ceased. it has not been! stimulated. I call attention to the history. familiar to my learned friends about me. that when Frhnce and Germany had their conflict and after Sedan. when one might have imagind6d that from France or Germany would have come teeming thousands of those who sought to rescue themselves from conditions unbearable. at least certainly not agreeable. when one miglht presume they might have emigrated. -we discovered to the coiltrary. their fields were open.. their children had to be mainthined. their- lands to be sustained. new opportunity to all survivors had arisen. Fiance not only gathered itself together. but its people multiplied around its farms and habitati6ns and gre w into such affluence that it was able to pmiy the great in". demnity levied by Germany. and ill science and small arts. became one of the superiors of the earth. Germany. from a country that wasa fifthrate power. held her people close to her fireside. stimulated lIy patriotisii. buiddd her. farms. inspired their education. reanimated their hearts. filled. their souls with: desire for superiority amofig mani nd. and. barring the instances of those who fled under the charjgd of some form of political offense. such as in 18.18. there was. indeed. little immigration. It did: not begin until 1885 froni Germany. and then when peace hid settled upon the community and arts of industry and science and the refinements of culture had possessed its country to the extent that the nation started upon the splendid course of eminence and glory. *which all friends of Germany delight to certify to. Shall I refer to my own land?
