Vinegar,  —  Yes.  I  think  it  would  be  well  if  immigration  were  prohibited
entirely  for  a  few  years.  I  am  foreign-bora  but  see  that  the  thing  is  over-
done. Why  should  tax-payers  be  forced  to  support  an  immigration  board
to  bring  men  we  don*t  want?

Willow  toare. — Yes.  I  would  suggest  a  thorough  inspection  of  each
immigrant's  passport,  which  is  to  be  signed  by  American  consul  at  place  of
departure,  who  makes  it  up  from  official  papers  signed  by  the  authorities
of  the  late  residence  of  the  immigrant  Prohibit  all  socialistic  agitators,
nihilists,  professional  loafers  and  paupers  from  landing.  A  strict  police
Tig^lence  is  needed  to  hunt  up  and  expel  from  the  country,  foreign-born
disturbers  of  the  peace,  who,  to  make  a  living,  erroneously  apply  their
doctrines  against  our  free  gOTcrnment  and  poison  the  minds  of  thousands
of  contented  toilera

Wood^  ware  —  Yes.  Establish  a  foreign  agency  in  each  old  country,
and  admit  none  but  those  possessed  of  good  moral  character,  and  then  have
a  period  of  probation  here.
Yes,  except  where  the  head  of  a  family  is  alreidy  here.  Then  allow  the
balance  of  his  family  to  come.  Within  two  years  from  now  I  would  ex-
clude all  immigrants  who  do  not  possess  a  capital  of  $2,000.
Bev,  F.  S,  Stein,  Kenosha — Indiscriminate  labor  immigration  should  be
limited,  if  not  prohibited.  Not  merely  the  number,  but  the  character  of
immigrants  should  be  taken  into  account.  One-eighth  of  the  population
of  the^country,  and  one-third  of  the  insane,  are  of  foreign  birth,  making
the  number  of  insane  of  foreign  birth  three  times  as  great  as  it  should  be.
