The idea has gained currency that
the purpose of the :\ct is to ii.( e
stte with fo reign pauper labor. As
knc candlid0ate said. "the riff-raff

if Eur'pce. That this cheap labor
will usurp the place of the farm lab
ioer and will drive the mill hands
iut ef employment. W lhethCer con
rciotisl or unconsciously. those who
are teaching such vaiews are deceiving
and misleading the people as to the
purpose of that legislation.
The law is found on page 449 of the
-\cts of 904. The follow'ing extract
from Section 6 of that Act shows
without any doubt what it ias en
acted to accomplish. and completely
refutes the misleading statements
hat have been made and are being
made:
:Th pr iot e agriculture manuftac

and res turce's if our state. oft which
.e world is at present uninformed
ecause of a lack of .iudicious and ex
oinsive exploitatio.n by us (if these re
;Ciources.
Now~ as to the character and class
:if immigrants to be brought in Sec
:ion II of the Act is specinec. It is
as follows: "That immigrants shall
be coinhned to wvhite citizens of the
United States. citizens of Ireland.
Scotland. England. Switzerland.
France and other foreigners of Saxon
irigin." That is. of the same origin
as those from whom we are descend
ed., andl who cane to America as em
igrants. The Italian. Spaniards.
Slav. Japanese and Chinamen are
excluded by the terms of the act.
H lme-li ving. homena-making. God
tearing. mo ral. intelligent people.
wi:h means ti buy our stirplus lands
and build houses and schools and
churches and become good citizens.
these and these alone are sought to
be induced to ciome hiere. and no
provision is made by the Act to pay
them a "bonus" to come, as has
been widely circulated.
Mr. Editor, those who are giving
the people the wvrong con struction of
this law are "sowing the wvind to reap
the whirlwind." 1 have an abiding
faith and belief in the good common
sense of our people. As Mr. Lincoln
said. "you may fool some of the peo
ple some of the time, you may fool
soe of the people all the time, but
you can't fool all of the people all
of the time." They will look into
this matter for themselv'es, and find
that they have been misinformed they
will resent it. saying, "Either these
persons designedly misled us for their
own ends or else they did not know
what they were talking about. If
the first, then they have prestumed
that we are t 'o ignorant to find out
the truth and have played tupon our
creutlity. We' will not stand for
that. If the second, then they are
noti ci impetent ti represent tts. 10
tem star' at IU'me.
"Now. Mr. Editor. I have no axe
to grind in this matter. I am not a
cadiate fJr any .iftiee: but I have
a pride to i ee my~ count ry, one of the
iae(diltg ocun ties in agrictultture. in
malacturiing, in coimmerce- 1ut it

of the state to which it is entitled.
