Then still other of my worthy forbears came from England and from Scotland. and they have been coming every since. Other hardy pioneer souls from many other lands with whom my lineage has no connection also came. and these are still coming. On this question of restricting immigration my palefaced brothers are several generations behind the Indian. Five hundred years ago my progenitors not only espoused the cause of rigid restriction. but for a time undertook to maintain absolute prohibition of immigration into this country and deportation of those aliens already here. These efforts of those venerable old warriors. as we are all aware. did not meet with marked success. and the white man came from all over northern Europe. first to the eastern shore of the American Continent. then scaling the Allegheny Mountains. spreading out over the fertile Mississippi Valley. and finally penetrating to the Pacific coast. until the country has become thoroughly absorbed by a race somewhat alien to its original citizenship and the entire scheme of things on the Western Hemisphere completely and radically changed. It is not my purpose to discuss the benefit or detriment that this wonderful change has wrought.
