The argament. such as it is. that it is necessary to bring here a pauper. and degraded labor. to bring here a cheap labor. is the very logic and reason which underlies the whole question of slavery itself. It should come simply to elevate the Caucasian. And labor should be made servile. tractable. docile as they say of labor in Singapore. in order to elevate and improve our own. But. Mr. Speaker. are we ready for that? I thought we had passed that era in our national life. Last yeas there were about eight hundred thousand immigrants from Europe landed upon our shores. They were Scandinavians. Germans.
