ALIEN IMMIGRATION
Proposed Bill for the Next
Congress.
U. S. CONSUL DANZIGER
HIMSELF A HEBREW, IS PR2EPAB
ING THE MEASURBE.
None to Eastern Ports, but Unlimited
Immigration to Be Lande*
South or West.
Dr. Adolphe Danziger. United States con
wul at Aberdeen. Scotland. and until some
months ago consul at Madrid, Spain, is pre
paring a bill for introduction in the com
ing session of Congress, having the warm
sanction of prominent Hebrews all over the
country, providing that for the next year
there shall be no alien steerage immigration
to any of the eastern ports of the United
States, but permitting as much immigration
as the steamships can bring when the im
migran:s are landed in the south or west.
It is stated that the measure Will have the
approval of practically all the Hebrews of
the country, as well as of many thoughtful
into of all races now engaged in studying
the rush of immigrants to this country.
Serious consideration has been given to the
suhject. Dr. Danziger is a Hebrew himself.
and is well known In the literary world. He
points out that the congestion of poverty
stricken aliens in New York is growing
worse each year. The Hebrew immigrant
lands in New York, sees his fellow-country
men engaged in peddling, and earning a
prerarious living of that sort, and he fol
lows suit out of the sheer force of example.
If he is turned toward other pa,rts of the
country he will follow the e.<amples he sees
there and become a farmer, mechanic or
laborer.
The First Advantage.
"The first advantage of a measure of this
kind.' said Dr. Danziger. "would he to re
lfi'v the terrible congestion of the lower
r ,st side of New York, as well as Boston,
'hilidel10hia and Balttimore. It is a fact
that many immigrants come here with lit
tie money, and. in a short time, are strand
rd in New York, subject to the charity or
the non-charity of their fellow-refugees.
Th- re.ison why they remain in New York
is beause there they find their kindred and
former acquaintaneos. in whose company
they forget or slightly lighten their pre
carious condition. Gracious as the Jewish
hi-art is in sharing what it has with those
iess blessed, it is nevertheless the duty of
every good citizen to see to it that the test
he not overtaxed. My own experience ha.s
ib ed nie with horror at the sight of. ,~
-r.twieI conditions prevailing, not only on
iir east side of New York, but in Phila
<ir;phia, Boston and other eastern port
cities. A sight, such as a poor tailor with
a wife and several children, in h twa-room
elwtlling 11ll- with litter and the indis
" sable sewing machine necessary for his
iivelihoo1, his two or three boarders. male
mii temale, who help to pay tie rent and
-k- out an -xistence for all, is not at all
tar. These boarders, in a maj.ri:y of
:ire ;r.a,tirally slaves. who, beiag
:.tk"n froml the. sttamner by', perhaps, well
mn- ing people, k-eep theim. first, as I said,
to tm-otratr their own condition.. to if
fori shelter to the lueklhss being who
s-ught halppiness on our shares, but who,
in time. hi-eausr of ignorance of lt.,uage
and independent means by which to strike
out and secure a livelihood, stay with the
f.i n;ly they have originally gone wi-h. It
is r'dless to touch upon the moral or 1n
moritl aspeet of this condition. It is luite
e"nough even for the most callous imagina
ti"n what results must ensue from this
elogging of palpitating -human beings. -I
tinn't think that any one can cavil at such
a law. the alien immigrant certainly not.
For him the opportunity is given, if lie have
ti, right stuff within him, to become pros
Irnus in a section of the country where he
has not only elbow room, but where he is
nOt aally wanted and would be hailed with
delight. With very few exceptions all alien
Immigrants In tht. south of the United
States as well as in the west, have done
exceedingly well and have reached a meas
ure of prosperity tlay could not have hop"d
to anhh va in the same tim- in the crow'd
ed settletnrts of the eastern cities, where
one man tries to snatch away the crumb
of brad from the niouth of anO'h1r,
Civic Assimilation.
"The immigrants who have become so
l:appily situated eitir in the south or the
west have for themselves and their chil
dren solved most rcadily and pleasantly a
diicult problem, namely-that of civic as
pimilation and a ready knowledge of our
language and custams, a thing practically
Impossible on the East Side of New York,
where the Jew hears nothing but the Yid
dish jargon. frequents the YIddIsh theater,
and is thus, In a measu:'0. prever.ted from
coming in close contact with the true spirit
of our lives and manners. This Is true of
nearly all immigrants. The Italtan lands in
thte Italian quarter of New York. hears
nothing and sees nothing hut his own Ian
guage and the thoughts and se~ithinents of
the people he lias been horn and reared
pith, and he does not assimilate with
Americanism. Immigration to the south
and west would also solve two most per
plexing situations in which the people of
'the United States now tind themselves. This
is the negro que'stiuin in the south and the
Mongoliani quistion in the west. Labor in
any form in thei south, notabily in the cot
tort mills, is not by far so trying nor so un
certaIn of compensation and financial and
physical development as the dire pe'ddling
of unprofitable small articles through the
streets of New York. In the west his op
portnities are 'practically unlimited, for
there the Mongolian question has become
so acute that peoplie woutld pay any price
for white' labor tand would make all kinds
of concessions and favorabie conditions if
they could get people readily. The govern
Inent can aid the matter effectively by send
ing a line of steamers from San Franctsco
or thre Puget sound to the Panama railroad
and fetch immigrants to the Pacific coast
at a nominal rate. Assutming that the gov
irrnment could not establish a line of
5'eam*-rs to enable immigrants to cross to
the I' a it'c coast by way of Panama it
cold gir low rates on the Panama raIl
riol to immigrants landing there and on
tii. r way to Pacific poirts.
Could Not Object to the Law.
"Thie rich Jews and others certainly could
not object to a law of the kind suggested,
for the. reason that they, better than many
Others, know under what pressure the char
itable societies of New York and elsewhere
are put under the present system of uncon
trolled landing of aliens. Whatever may be
said with regard to the sentimental aide,
As to Colds
Feed a cold-yes, but feed it
with Scott's Emulsion. Feeding
a cold in this way kills it. You
cannot afford to have a cough or
coldl at this season or any other.
Scott's Emulsion will drive it out
q1uickly and keep it out. Weak
lungs are strengthened and all
wasting diseases are checked by
Scott's Emulsion. It's a great
flesh producer.
