Hewitt. Do they not know that it was the Republican and not the Democratic party that exploded the old British commonlaw doctrine of once a subject always a subject. and established the right of expatriation? Have they forgotten that it was a Republican Congress that. in 1868. sent forth its mandate to the nations of the earth that thereafter every American citizen of foreign birth might roam over every portion of Gods footstool free from hinderance and molestation. that every step he takes he is shadowed by the banner of the stars. and that the only aegis of protection he needs during the life of the Republican party is his certificate of American naturalization? Are they blind to the fact that everyact of consequence that*is of universal application in the interest of labor that still lives on the statutebooks of the nation is the emanation of Republican wisdom? I will be disappointed if the honorable member from Massachusetts . the acknowledged representative of his race. fails to rise in his seat and denounce the pending measure that the London press declares means cheap labor here and increased British importations. in view of the fact that only six years ago lie was president of an organization that issued a manifesto to his countrymen calling upon them to boycott every article of British manufacture.
