“Three thousand two hundred and eighty-five miles of railway. It begun when the nation was agitated by war,

Hope for ships, it was very properly regarded as a blessing of mankind – hence the designation by which it is
known; but the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, which connects the two oceans, is a still greater
blessing. In the olden times, when camels were the means used for transportation, it was found that wherever the
caravans of camels stopped there would spring up cities. And there would be evidence of civilization. So with
this great work. It will populate the vast territory and be the great highway of the nations; their merchants will
cross it to trade with us.”

“Today, every avenue to labor, of every sort, is crowded with Chinese slave labor worse that it was eight years
ago. The boot, shoe and cigar industries are almost entirely in their hands. In the manufacture of men’s
overalls and women’s and children’s underwear they run over three thousand sewing machines night and day.
They monopolize nearly all the farming done to supply the market with all sorts of vegetables. This state of

The New Colossus


By Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she


With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
