But that does not satisfy my position. I say it would be the most unfortunate thing. utterly unjust and absolutely unAmerican. for Congress to apply this test as one of the reasons before an immigrant should land. The great cities of New York. and Jersey City. Newark. and Paterson. in my State. many of our hilltops. have been made to blossom as the rose by men who when they came here could not read and write. If the Senator from New Hampshire was more fortunate in those who came. I do not know that he is any better. I would not trade or barter or change a thousand of the population which makes up the great cities of Newark.
