I hold in my hand here a report of the citizens bureau of the city of Utica. which comprises representatives of every civic body and every manufacturing organization. every religious organization. all embodied in this statement here. I am not going to attempt to read any part of it. but they unanimously favor a restriction. but they are opposed to the 1890 proposition along the line I have spoken of here. I want this body to give me their confidence to this extent. that I am not expressing my statement as based on this document. but I am expressing my own judgment. and I would have so stated had I not received this communication. They are in favor of immigration that will permit 150.000 to 175.000 people. Now. this compilation and combination gives 207.000.
