Both must be considered. It is not to be said in this day that capi tal has no rights. when we have the benefits of organized capital. when it is honestly and fairly established. It is not to be said when we remember that within one short span of human life railroads have girdled this continent from ocean to ocean. and have carried thousands upon thousands of immigrants and thousands of our native people as well from our overcrowded cities of the East to seek homes on the broad. unoccupied prairies of this country. giving to them the opportunity there to build up homes. to rear their families. as well as to create great States. to add to the honor and the power and the dignity of this Government. It is not to be forgotten. sir. that within this short time. by virtue of these increased facilities for the transportation of products. we have seen fhctories spring up along every mountain side and in every valley. where the natural wealth of our country has been dug from the sdil. shaped. manufactured into articles of skill and usefulness. every solitary one of which. marked by the ringof the hammer. indicated so many dollars or so many cents toward the care. provision. and support of so many others. and toward the building up of the country. We should not byany hasty or illadvised legislation put a stumblingblock in the way of this further development.
