You put into the mind of every man. woman. and child all over the world that this great country has suddenly drawn the cloak of seclusion about herself. You say by this bill. " Young man. have you got money?" "Yes." " Royal blood?" "Yes." "Do you want to go to school?" " Yes." " Come in." But if the Norwegian stands here with a strong hand and warm heart. in love with the doctrines of your country. you say to him. Stay out unless you can go to school." The trouble about this. my brother immigrants. is that the fault has been in the execution of the law we have. No man can come here who does not subscribe to our doctrines. The description given by my friend the gentleman from California as to granting of citizens papers in our courts was not fair.
