Speaker. "cheap" labor is not an American policy. and our perlnaneut prosperity depends upon a fairer and more just distribution of the wvealth of labor among its producers. You of the Fast do not feel the force of the evil of unrestricted Chinese importation as we of the West. but the time moay conm when you will. On our undeveloped coast where. though driven from one industrythey could more readily find another. our laborers generally. excepting sonm in the larger cities. have heretofore made a living. such as it has been. despite the Mongolian. but let there be an inundation of Chinese upon any of your eastern cities as we have hail in the cities of the West. and there will be just two things for your poorer classes to do. either to retreat before the Mongolian or starve. It is simply a question of cold mathematics. But you say you are in no danger.
