Read Volume V of ‘ American People,” Pages 212-213, in which he says "a Chinaman is superior to an Irishman, or any emigrant from the south of Europe.”—Parke County Times. Similar comments have appeared in other quarters, evincing in some cases a disposition to prejudice Mr. Wilson and in others determination to misrepresent him. The author of a book may fairly he held to his deliberate opinions, but he has a right to ask that his words be quoted, not garbled ' or misconstrued at long range. In his ‘History of the American People,” in discussing the character of foreign immigration, Mr. Wilson praised what he called "the sturdy stocks of the north of Europe" and the "men of j the Latin-Gallic stocks of France and ; northern Italy,” but doubted the desirability of the more recent arrivals "from the south of Italy and men of meaner sort out of Hungary and Poland." Pursuing the comparison, he said: ‘‘The people of the Pacific coast had clamored these many years against the admission of immigrants out of China, and in May, 1892, got at last what they wanted, a federal statute which practically excluded from the United States all Chinese who had not already acquired the right of residence, and yet the Chinese were more to be desired, as workmen if not as citizens, than most of the coarse crew that came crowding in every year at the eastern ports.” "The cotters crew that came crowding in every year at the eastern ports” were those from Hungary, Poland and southern Italy. Mr. Wilson did not.' mention the Irish except to include I them in the praise accorded to the . Latin-Gallic stocks, and his reference ■ to the other nationalities mentioned related only to the Inferior immigrants from those countries.—lndianapolis News. jEanw- r — n-uiiri m , ail|lM ,
