Mr. President. I entirely agree with what my friend from Minnesota has said. I did not mean to be understood as saying that they were of the class wewere discussing. because -I know in the old immigration. of which I wish we.might have more. coming from northern and western Europe. that immigration who came in such large numbers prior to 1882. that immigration who helped us to build up our West and construct our great railway systems in this country and have become a fine element in American civilization. very many of them came in just the way the Senator from Minnesota has suggested. They came intending. however. to make the United States their permanent home and they intended as soon. as they had earned the money which would ilccomplish thnit purpose to bring their families lere. and they did it.
