At the time that was written in 1883 the population of the US was about 50 million.
It now stands at well over 300 million.
Let's use a sports analogy.
The stadium that the super bowl will be played in has a capacity of about 72,000. At what point is it reasonable to stop selling tickets?
I don't think it's right to target certain groups, but I'm thinking maybe it's time to shut the damn gate on everybody.
