FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
President Harrison has again brought
to the uttention of congress? and the na
tion the necessity of more stringent laws
regulating foreign immigration. The
suggestion ie made in connection with
the question of quarantine regulations ;
and our recent experience with cholera,
which we could not halt npon the outer
threshhold, emphasizes the importance
of some positive and prompt action on
the Dart of congress to protect us from
this and other contagious diseases.
But Asiatic cholera is by no means
the worst evil coining to us through im
perfect immigration regulations ; the
Pacific States fully appreciate the situa
tion because of their experience with the
Chinese question ; they have suffered
much more, and have therefore, been
more persistent in demanding and more
successful in obtaining protection at the
hands of congress than any other por
tiqn of the United States; and the ques
tion, so far as we are directly concerned
is about disposed of ; the pauper labor of
eastern Asia is excluded : every China
man within our borders must stand, be
numbered and registered, -arad when he
once returns to his native land he gen
erally has not the courage to attempt to
get back.
The Atlantic States have been further
removed from the evil of unrestricted
immigration, and nntil recently have
little felt the danger ; but with increased
facilities of travel, the danger has become
more real, and its accompanying scourge.
a terrible disease, calls the nation's at
. tention directlv to it, and now for the
first time, the people of the entire coun
try sympathize with us in our opposition
to the Chinese. Ignorance, .immorality
physical deformity and weakness, die
torted views of political, social and re
ligious life are quite as disastrous to na
tional safety and happiness as are the
contagious diseases which originate and
best thrive iu the home of these less
easily quarantined evils.
Two thouHand per week is not a large
estimate of the number of .undesirable
population which have passed from ,the
decks of the great immigrant transports
to our shores during the past year; and j
every male among them who is not, at
the time he lands under lei years of age,
may, in live years, exercise every right
of citizenship ; except that of holding
some of the offices ; ignorant of every
principle of government, with distorted
eocial ideas, even vicious in a large num
ber of cases, unable to speak our lan
guage, much less to read it, he takes his
place beside the best citizen of the land
and has as much voice in the govern
ment. Had the Chinese worn a less yellow
ekin, and therefore been' eligible to
American citizenship under the consti
tution and had they been as eager to be
naturalized as are the Russian, Italian
and Bulgarian paupers who are now
'Seeking to land here, the Pacific States
at one time would have rebelled and re
fused to be governed by a class of people
so utterly devoid of every qualification
to exercise the functions of American
citizenship; yet who will say that we
: would have been worse off than are
many portions of the cities of New York,
-Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans?
The problem is both serious and diffi
cult and will tax the ability of our legis
lators and diplomats during the next
few vears as no other question ; a wise
solution by the incoming administration
of this problem will do more for the ulti
mate welfare than any measure that
will be brought before it. Already sev
eral plane have been suggested ; abso
lute exclusion is neither practicable nor
politic, and any plan which is likely- to
be adopted, will be found inefficient un
til after experience has enabled us to
perfect it. But some plan is impera
tively necessary.
