He is not always justly or generously treated. but he will never voluntarily come under the galling yoke of the foreign monopolist. Men do not fly by millions from their native homes to seek for poorer wages. Were America reduced to the condition which some of our political alarmists depict. the tide of emigration would set eastward across the Atlantic. I. who was born on a foreign soil. and who was old enough when I left that soil to remember what insular Europe was. will not by my vote aid in inflicting upon the working people of this Republic the evils that disfigure and disgrace Lancashire as well as Limerick. I want for this people the full measure of commercial glory. and that can never be attained by the surrender to the tender mercies of foreign capitalists. as is virtually proposed in this billnot so much the great corporations. that defy extinction. as the struggling industries that have hardly begun to breathe.
