Is the effect. therefore. merely an industry of fishermen and catching fish? Not by any means. It is our great industry. it is our foreign possession in the sense. that it is not within our boundaries. i889. but is within our treaty rights. and we propose to keep it as valuable. as productive. and as a school for seamanship. and I am at a loss to understand the process of reasoning of the Senator from Delaware.. by which he brings against us that. under adverse influences. if you please. undesirable influences to be deprecated. there has intruded a considerable class of employds who are foreigners not in the sense of eithqr being native or naturalized citizens. Is it the policy of the Senator from Delaware. is it the policy of Senators on the other side of this Chamber. that if our seamanship. our seamen. our hopes. our plans. our schemes. our pride. our glory. by circumstances that we can not and do not control. have been reduced. we should go on and squander and dissipate what there is left of them? And yet that seems to be the proposition of the Senator from Delaware. that. as the foreigners now form part of these seamen. who are being trainedhe has given us statistics that we can not acceptbut on what principle is it that by circumstances that we can not control. we are thus encroached upon in the development of our seamen and our seamanship. we are to be careless and indifferent and even resentful against a handful. as he terms it. that are left?
