American ingenuity. and American skill have never been outstripped in the world in any contest that they deliberately entered upon. All we lacked has been the courage to enter upon it. We have stood upon the shores of the stream. shivering. hesitating. doubting. with our protectionist friends standing in the way shaking their old wellworn scarecrow of foreign "pauper labor" in our face and telling us death stands before us if we go there. Their touch has been death in everything thus far to the interestq of this nation. They clamor for alms at the door of the house they have robbed of its just share of the worlds wealth.
