Mr. Chairman. in this Fiftieth Congress. when the industries of the country are assailed by a foreign foe. I believe that somehow something will be stirred in the hearts of the American people. something that will move them to action that will awake the giant of the Republican party. which has been sleeping for four years. and again place it in power. and standing in every harbor and port of entry in the land. it will say to the foreign invader offering labor products produced by cheap and pauper labor from abroad. "Thus far and no farther." [Renewed applause.] And under the influence of Republican doctrines the country. with new assurances of safety and protection. will have new life and new hopes and make greater strides in the march of civilization and progress than has ever heretofore been accomplished in the history of the world.
