This is a very interesting chart. showing the proportion of old and new immigration from 1880 to 1920. Let us center our attention on the column 1890. The black represents the proportion of " old " or Nordic immigration. The wlite represents the "new" or nonNordic immigration. The portion hatched represents immigrants from countries outside of Europe. The Johnson bill harks back to the census of 1890. Measure with the eye the part of the column that is white. How does it compare with the part of the column that is black? Is it not like a pigmy unto a giant? This graphically discloses the utter discrimination between " old" and " new" immigrants contained in the Johnson bill. I must remind the distinguished gentlemen of the Immigration Committee of what Bobby Burns oce said: "The bestlaid schenes o mice an men gang aft agley." CHART 8.
