He is trying desperately to pay for it and to give to his children enough education to make them intelligent. useful American citizens. I have three other neighbors. my personal friends. owning large tracts of land. who live in the city of Dallas. Pass this amendment and we can fill our places with this cheap European immigration. hire overseers. and make money selling our produce at a price which would wipe out every hope that this other farmer ever had of paying for his farm. One of us could buy that farm. and probably would buy it. and we could hire some more of these peons to work it. Not only is that true. but it would drive away the tenant of American citizenship.
