DELUSION AND SNARE OF ARTIFICIALLY STIMULATED
IMMIGRATION.
With reference to drawing for
eign immigrants to the south, and
especially .oOrorg,a, there
vatent > blind e.ithus.aam which ;j
would a t be enthusiasm at all if
it ware not blind.
j Many people seem to have the i
! notion that ft mere increase of {
without regard , to its . qual-! ,
ulation,
ity or how it is secured, will of it
! self increase prosperity and
! prove our country. They seem to
imagine that if we can get for
somehow eiguers to come other, among them us we can, toil J
or get to
for our profit instead of their own.
Now this is a delusion. Foreigners
are no m >re willing to give us the
profit from their labor than we aie
to give them the fruits of our in
dust it. Some special classes, such
us merchants, furnace owners and
factory men may make a profit, out
of them, but our people as a whole
have nothing to gain. The mer¬
chant who sells them supplies uiav
make a per cent on his sales, but
only a small portion of our people
are merchants. The wealthy
planter may find in foreign immi¬
grants laborers for his fields, while

ha rtf u ?
Generally speaking foreigners
who get their consent to forsake
kindred and friends and native;
land in order 1o secure gain in an¬
other country are not the best of
their nation before they migrate,
and the migration does not im
prove them.
The Americans whom I have
met iu other lands, engaged in the
pursuit of gain, were generally the!
most godless of our countrymen,
and they exhibited forms of de¬
pravity abroad which they would
never have dreamed of practicing
in their native land. 1 take it
that our countrymen are as good
as any, aud I am, therefore, not
surprised when I see foreigners in
our country running to the same
excess of riot. When the average
man rent <ves to a foreign shore he
generally suffers morai deteriora
tion by the move. All the old
roote of h eal attachments, fatnih
relations and social life, by which
the moral nature is nourished and
invigorated, are pulled up and the
leaves of spiritual strength are
withered bv the transplanting
People coming to our country from
other lands suffer just as our peo
pl» Sll ffer when they migrate to
other countries. I have known a
man to suffer moral prostration in
passing from one state to another
in the l, nited States. There are
some soft and spongy characters
which will not bear shipping, and
these pulpy people are the classes
who are first reached by artificially
stimulated immigration. The con
tented, prosperous, steady-going
classes are not so easily affected by
the appeals ot immigrant agents,
and the publications of immigra
tion bureaus
1 would not be undei stood as
posing the coming of foreigners to
our nothing. country I have I am not a “know- |
no sympathy
with those selfish and cowardly
laws known as “exclusion acts.”
They are uubrotherly and unchris
I Gan devices, in my opinion, and if
1 could 1 w " u,d re l ,eal every one
,.f them. My position is that we
should neither prevent foreigners
coming among us nor seek by arti-:

nation is made that bodes no good
for them or us.
They come, when immigration . i
is itig thus artificially stimulated, feel-1
that they have brought us un
det obligations by coming, and
that we are, therefore, bound to
make concessions to them in all!
matters, morel and material. We

our natural.increase of native
born population is about as much
we can make comfortable and
secure?
Furthermore, we have- a race
problem here that is commonly
supposed to be a trifle perplexing.
It will not be simplified by a sud¬
den and large influx of foreigners,
wholly unacqcaioted with its dif¬
ficulties and entirely unprepard
for dealing wisely and patiently
with it. There are some foreign¬
ers who would not drawback from
miscegenation ; do we wish that?
There are others who would fly
iu passionate heat to the opposite
extreme, and treat our negro pop¬
ulation with exasperating hostility
aud contempt; are ws ready t*>
risk wh.it that would bring to pass?
No foreigners will bring the tem
per and knowledge required for the
solution of tilts matter.
I trust all this ado about stnnu
latitig immigration by artificial
encouragement aud incitera nit will
cease. It is a delusion and a snare,
