Because we were not permitted to buy ships and because we could not build them on terms that anybody would or could accept. Everybody ought to know that railways. steamships. telegraphs. modern inventions and developments which have annihilated time and distance. which have belted the whole earth with lines of communication and transportation. have brought the peoples of the world face to face with each other. We have had the ghost of the "pauper laborI of the balance of the world shaken before us like the ghost of Banquo to frighten and stampede us. We have been told that we must protect American labor against the "pauper labor" of the rest of the world by restrictive legislation. prohibitive and protective tariffs. If my voice can reach my countrymen. let me say to them that the days of protection have passed. You can not protect any longer.
