I do not suppose. if the Senator will allow me to interrupt him. that the Senator from South Carolina has a right to express his opinion upon this floor at all. in the estimation of the Senator from Colorado. But. Mr. President. as long as I have a seat upon this floor I propose to exercise my right to express my opinions just as freelyas I choose. and upon all questions and all subjects. the Senator from Colorado to the contrary notwithstanding. I have as perfect a right to express my opinion upon the labor question as the Senator from Colorado. and therefore I can not quite see the force of the observation which he made. that I had no right to express my opinion here. representing the party that I represented. which opened the door to this influx. when I put a very civil and. as I think. an entirely proper question to him. and asked him whether or not he justified the influx of pauper labor from Hungary. and Germany. and Canada. and other parts of the world. to come in competition with the American laborer. who. he says. is the essential object of consideration by the party which he represents.
