Where are we to get the supply of that kind of labor if you cut it off entirely? Our own people have got. to some extent. above it. They do not like to engage in that work. This literacy test will cut off that kind of labor. and that is the question that is troubling me a good deal. I shall vote for this bill. but still I am not free from doubt on the subject. Another question has troubled me. and it is this: Uneducated men come here. and many of them can not read and write. but they are very thrifty and very industrious. and. as a rule. they are temperate.
