I tried to explain it briefly. but I think the Senators attention must have been distracted. I would rather not repeat it this morning. It is based on taking the 1890 census and the immigration since that time. a study of the foreign born shown by the last census. and a study of the children of foreign born shown in the last census. The result in the last analysis compares very favorably with the claims that those people themselves made before there was any immigration law. Doctor Faust. who has written oni the German element iu the United States. claims for that element a proportion almost exactly the same as is conceded to it by the Census Bureau in this calculation. If we test them by their own claims. the same is true of the Irish.
