Do you exclude men from that greatest of all functions that have ever yet devolved upon the common man because they can not read and write? You are here trying to apply a .higher test to the man who comes here to work for you than you apply to the man who governs you. Mr. President. there .may be some reasons for applying a literacy test to the exercise of the suffrage. That is not before us now. But the man who comes here to work with his hands must produce more than he consumes. otherwise there would be no profit in employing him.
