I do not come here in the character of a suppliant. I come here simply as a Representative from an equal State. coequal with any of her peers. appealing to the equity and sense of justice of this House. In conclusion I have to say I speak for a land offering at this time the greatest encouragement for the investment of bapital and the immigration of the enterprising. for a people who. harried by war and tried in the fires of reconstruction. rising superior to troubles and discouragbments such as few peoplas have gncountered. are fast building up a new South. who extend the warmest of welcomes to all who come among them with honest intentions. and who. having left the things that are behind. join heart and hand with all who would add to the prosperity and increase the happiness of all the people of "a great. free. and prosperous. realm." [Loud applause.]
