So farns I am concerned. I can not and will not cast a vote in favor of any such monstrous doctrine. The truth about it is that we have been talking so long about our great desire to protect American labor. to guaranty high wages to laboring men. and at the same time welcoming the very same pauper laborers from Europe against whom we have said we wished to protect our own laborers. that I think the time has come when there ought to be some sort of difference between an American citizen and a man born abroad who is an alien. I am not willing to make this the dumping ground of allthe people in Europe. I am not willing that the paupers and the miserable classes that are absolutely worthless abroad shall be dumped upon us. and when they come here retaining their foreign allegiance to be regarded as good as American citizens and entitled to all rights our own people have.
