How it has disappointed their misgivings. Those men did not understand the true spirit of America and Americanism. In 1890 the senior Senator from Massachusetts . in magazine articles. expressed the same fear of immigration from southern and eastern Europe. Now. what has happened in the 34 years since 1890? In all frankness. has his prediction not been equally as far afield as the earlier ones of Bussy and Chickering? Some few days ago the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Box]. for whom I have both respect and affection and in whose judgment on any other matter I have confidence. went on to show the superiority of the socalled "Nordic" immigrant. and to that end he quoted at some length to show that the Central and New England States owe their progress to civil selfgovernment brought from England. Surely no person. save some patriotic citizen whose forebears braved the wilds hundreds of years ago to make America. should pass upon our race stocks. Do we find some Adams.
