It may be a little out of order to discuss this proposition in connection with the measure before the House. but I have had no other opportunity to present the question. and its importance constrains me to adopt this means of securing a partial hearing. Now. I beg to submit that while we are protecting all these industriessome of them in their swaddling clothes. some of them embracing possibly a half dozen factories the products of which twenty Russian refugees would take in packs upon their backs and carry and peddle -through the countryI say while we are considering the claims of such industries I have good cause to ask the House at a very early day to .cousider the claims of a great industry which is now prostrate and which we can. if wt will. lift up and place upon its feet. an industry which. if left prostrate. will probably in its destruction drag down to ruin many of the interests which you are seeking to protect and cherish. All I ask is that the great industrial interest I represent shall not be swept upon the tide of your indifference into the sea of bankruptcy.
