Yes. and that Is based on the census of 1890. May I say further that 30 or 40 years ago we had horse cars in my great city of New York. Times have changed. We have no more horse cars. At a time when some steamship companies and some manipulators were bringing in a lot of coolie labor it was necessary. and justly so. that immigration be restricted. but those days have gone. The 107 that you will get in this country under the quota must comply morally. physically. and financially with our laws and will therefore not be people who are likely to become a public charge.
