Any one of these industries not only furnishes employmentfor those who come here under such encouragement as is contemplated by this bill. but it furnishes at the same time in proportion to its value and the amount of capital and labor necessary to carry it on employment for ourselves. manifold multiplied always by our demand for the consumption of the product and by the demand for the production to compete in new markets. Sir. those are the best friends of the laborer in this country who make it a study to find something new for him to do. some new enterprise for him to engage in. some new industry not yet fully employed in this country into which he can embark and in which he can employ his energies and his sofil. I look. sir. for relief to the labor of this country. not to inhibition of immigration into the United States. I hope we shall never less than now make it the home of the poor man. and make it dnattraction to him. I hope the tide of immigration will never reverse itself and turn from these shores to European and Asiatic shores in theidea that there are better homes. better opportunities. better society. and better hopes and aspirations in the old effete condition of other parts of this broad world than in this new. growing country of ous. � It is because of the established truth. the conviction. all over the world that here. are betterhomes. better opportunities for work and labor. and better rewards for it than anywhere else. that here more than anywhere else concentrate all these streams of immigration. Sir. I hope that never will be less in my day. and I hope in order to meet the exigencies and necessities thus imposed upon us we shall turn rather to developing new opportunities and bringing here new industries described in this bill. and in the very section which has called down the criticism of the Senator from Kansas. and that we shall be ourselves that nation of all others in which every honest and honorable way of rewarding industry known to thelaboring world shall find its best and richest and highest reward.
