I find them in the employment of the railroads of the country. I find them everywhere in the army of capitalists. You find them driving out our own labor. There is a remedy needed. Something must be done for the protection of our own labor. Something must be done to keep up the free character and dignity of our own labor. Something must be done in order to insure the continuance of the stock of American labor for the future. Unless it is done it will be replaced by this cheap pauper labor from abroad. How does this imported labor come into the country? You have statutes against it.
