ters of towns and cities, and there 
maintain their social and religious pe- 
culiarities. This apprehension is 
based on a belief which has no foun- 
dation in fact, namely, that the nu- 
merous races which came to _ this 
country during the nineteenth cen- 
tury have formed, or may be expected 
to form, a racial amalgam or blend. 
It is obvious that very little blending 
has thus far taken place. The dif- 
ferent races remain essentially dis- 
tinct, not geographically, but socially, 
and in many cases industrially. The 
process of assimilation begins with 
children born in this country and sent 
to American schools, and is even then 
very slow, particularly as regards in- 
termarriage. Experience during the 
nineteenth century shows that real as- 
similation will take centuries, and 
that amalgamation, or blending of 
races through intermarriage, is not 
only extraordinarily slow, but of 
doubtful issue as to the strength and 
viability of the offspring. In short, 
the different races already in this 
country live beside each other, and all 
produce in time good citizens of the 
Republic, but they do not blend. The 
probability is that the twentieth cen- 
tury will exhibit the same methods 
and results in a population become 
somewhat more various racially. 
Some religious people fear that the 
Catholic Church will become unduly 
powerful in the United States if 
races which have long been Catholic 
continue to pour into the country im- 
migrants by the hundred thousand 
who are vigorous, industrious, fru- 
gal, and prolific. Whatever gains the 
Catholic Church may make in this 
way under a régime of religious tol- 
eration, that church is fairly entitled 
to. Even the extreme Protestants 
who feel this apprehension — shrink 
from declaring that their motive in 
advocating restrictions of immigra- 
tion is fear of the Roman Church; 
and, indeed, for the United States to 
try to shut out Roman Catholics by 
restrictions not avowedly for that 
purpose would be an extraordinarily 
insincere and cowardly performance, 
at the very moment when in Europe 
the Catholic Church is being steadily 
dispossessed in Catholic countries of 
the control it once exercised; and 
when in the United States the effects 
of democracy on the Catholic Church 
are plainly much wider and deeper 
than the effects of the Catholic 
Church on either American govern- 
ments or American society. To re-— 
strict immigration because, for the 
time being, immigration is more 
Catholic than Protestant would be- 
the public confession of lack of faith 
in the efficacy of religious toleration 
and the independence of church and 
state as bulwarks of political free- 
om. 
Finally, it has been lately main-— 
tained. by some persons of humane 
proclivities that America is no longer 
needed as a refuge for people of 
other lands who think themselves po- 
litically or industrially unfortunate at 
home. 
the present extraordinary migrations 
of the European races would come to 
a natural end. People who exile 
themselves and encounter all the 
risks of a new start in life ina 
strange land must have some strong 
motive for such extraordinary con- 
duct. At any rate, the decision of 
the question whether America is still 
needed as a refuge may best be left 
to the decision of the people most in- 
terested, to the people who, being 
poor or hopeless at home, think they 
see brighter prospects and an animat- 
ing hope in the New World. The 
people now occupying the United 
States know that those prospects are 
brighter, and they are themselves ani- 
mated by a great hope, the hope that 
freedom nourishes. The American 
people, if they, get a chance to ex- 
press themselves, will not be found 
in favor of shutting the door on any 
honest and healthy persons who be- 
lieve they can better themselves by 
coming to America, and are 
prising enough to assume the inevi. 
table risks. 
The arguments against further re- 
strictions of immigration are essen- 
tially arguments to the sense of grat- 
itude, justice, and generosity in the 
actual Americans of to-day. 
If this were really the case,
