How idle to basean argument against the protective policy of this country upon statistics which leave out of view these considerations. In another thing the argument was not perhaps surprising. The Senator has not forgotten the days when before the war lie was a representative of tihe great KnowNothing party of the South in its attack upon time foreigner and tl immigrant. He cites with what I could scarcely mismiderstand. as it seemed to me. his approbation and commendatiou. the proclamation or resolves of a party or company of wellfed. wellclad. wellpaid American workiugmen. . who denmand that the blessings which they share and which are theirs shall not be extended in the future to those persons born in other lands. There is not a word in the extract whicfi the Senator has road of condemnation of the protective policy.
