If you who are opposed to this measure only had faith enough in the judgment of the working man to believe he knows what he wants the controversy would end right now in favor of the bill. .but you are not willing to make such a monstrous concession. You will never be able to say that you did not know what the toilers wanted. for they have written. telegraphed. and sent you resolutions by the thousands. You will not find one intelligent toiler anywhere in the 48 States of this Republic. who is posted and willing to use his own judgment. who will not tell you he is in favor of suspending all immigration of the working classes until again there are more opportunities in this country than there are men. Some say this country is a refuge and asylum for the poor and oppressed. therefore we should not make the exclusion. If not now. when we have a hundred million people. when shall we make it?
