Thatistrue. And where have they gone? Nearly 90 per cent. of these men who have abandoned the farms. who were tilling the soil in England and Wales under a freetrade policy. have come to the United States. and here under our protective policy. under our protection to American labor. which welcomes every true immigrant who comes to make a permanent home and enjoy the blessings of our institutions. they have found prosperity and plenty. They have found that in a few years they can own a little cottage and a little garden or a little farm. and bid defiance to all the world. because within the safety of this cottage. and within the bounds of this little spot of earth which they call their own and claim as their heritage. they are protected not only in person and property but in their industry and their labor. Go with me from Boston to Providence. down to Hartford. on to New York. over to Philadelphia. up the Hudson. on to Utica. down to Binghamton. and wander over the rough mountains of Pennsylvania.
