We have gladly in the past welcomed to this country citizens from every clime. but for my part. I am not willing much longer to tlhrow open tie doors to those who come here. and profit by their residence here. and who do not care to become identified with our country and to. support and uphold its institutions. We have treated the foreign born better than the native born. Some of the States in the Union have laws permitting aliens to vote upon filing first papers after six months or one years residence. But when it comes to time American boy. who is born here. we require that lie shall pass through the different grades of our common school and then wait until lie is 21 before he can vote.
