The people whom that Senator represents are degrading labor every day and striking down the comforts of the workingmans home by employing cheap Canadians in all their factories. and by employing cheap Canadians in the cutting of their lumber in the forests of Maine and bringing in foreign labor by contract in defiance of law. That same Senator proposed to further degrade American labor by refusing by his vote to exclude the population of China. but proposed by his negative vote to let China flood this country with its cheap. halfcivilized labor. and absolutely drown out all of the American labor and degrade the American laborers home and reduce his wages. Moreover. the candidate of that Senator for the Presidency of these United States gave a vote side by side with the Senator from Massachusetts to permit that semibarbarian empire to deluge this country with its cheap and haltcivilized labor to the degradation of our native American or naturalized citizens. Should not that Senator be a little bit modest when he thinks of those things? Could he not have closed his great speech without that assertion in the close of it. so unjust. so far from being true?
