to meet every want vv with illk public spirit anil and in case caw of necessity to put their shoulders to the wheel along with tile native e born it ia Is a fact that the criminal insane and pauper 1 r elements are recruited from f foreign population out of all proportion to their number here that increased immigration ie is unwise th that 11 t congress should pase pass laws t to prevent the coming of any alien alim race in large numbers and that american labor should be fully protected from tho the competition of foreign labor further the american evidently to illustrate the foregoing portion says a that re turns returns from the school census of san francisco show that out of a total school population of upwards of considerably lem iced 4 than lian one third are the children of na no tive ive born parents paren tu while more than one halt half are american born of foreign parentage and the number of mixed nativa bom and foreign parentage almost I 1 n 01 t equal that of the

ildren of foreign parents will grow up to bo be american citizens in every resist american in heart and thought in customs and ae as vie well as by tho the accident of birth yet out 0 of f the number a large proportion must fail to assimilate and will remain scarcely sea r c ely less foreign than the generation tion i before them born without the country retaining all the un ameri can in methods t
