I would not object. but when you talk of 5 per cent and 3 per cent of the people who are here. what kind of test is that? If I had my way. I would establish in Europe courts or tribunals where the character of each emigrant could be examined. whereby we could become assured that lie was sound in body. sound in mind. and sound in his principles. and then I would let him come. And every such man who came would be another man added to our man power. every soul that came would be a soul added to the aggregate soul of America. every heart that came would beat for our flag. and every hand would strike in its defense. This is a bill of proscription.
