Even as early as the year 1700. and preceding years. when the Dutch came and settled In great numbers in what is now New York City the English and Scotch colonists thought them an inferior and an unwholesome contribution to the population of the colonies. But within a few years these people Intermarried and the storm against the previously unwelcome Dutch subsided. Then presently came the Irish immigrants. who settled up aind down the coast. and the protests of the Dutch were added to those of the English and Scotch against these "intruders." The Germans and the Scandinavians. sensing their unwelcolneness by the races that had preceded them and settled along the eastern seaboard. became pioneers in the country beyond the Alleghenies. Thus. all down the years. history records this haughty spirit asserting itself again and again whenever a new race of people dared to seek peace and protection in America. but happily this attempted caste control based on the accident of birth. wealth. or privilege has never made any great progress. for such unholy and inhuman prejudices can never prevail in this democracy. Senators complain that the recent aliens are not being assimilated.
