Now. Mr. Chairman. it may be that the State Department. with a fertility of imagination not founded on fact. thinks that our commerce is to grow again. that the seas are again to be covered with American vessels. and that emigration is again to flood our shores. These "maybes " always have golden wings. they have gilded bodies. and they buzz incessantly in the ear of the sensitive imagination. peopling the fancy with golden fruition and prodigious results. but they never make honey. We want to look at the facts and to stand upon them and not be led astray by sentiment or fancy.
