It searches out every avenue of trade. industry. and art. Not only has our country by its varied and evervarying and multiplying industries given employment to all our people. but during the last quarter of a century we have. as I once before stated to this House. admitted to the ranks of labor in the Unit ed States about eight millions of people from the Old World. All now agree that a little wise discrimination in sifting the immigrants would have been useful to those who were here. But with the improved facilities and the vast addition to the army of producers. the supply has gone beyond the demand. Our farmers have found their European market. if not cut off. wonderfully curtailed by competition with the Russian provinces and India.
