Think of it. you gentlemen who stand up here and clamor about the beauty and sincerity of your protective policydividends from 9 to 20 per cent for the stockholders. while little children were working out their slender lives for $1.38 a week. Little ones whom it was the policy and the safety of the State to protect. deprived of help. education. yes. even of life itself. for a shabby. pittance like this. That to avarice of the millowner might be satiated. the cradie and the grave had to be robbed. and this with the approval and consent of the Republican party. which talks of protecting industry that the wages of American laborers may be protected from foreign pauper laborers. Thanks to the Democracy of the State which for years pounded at the door of the statehouse demanding the release of these little ones. no industry. today. can employ a child of either sex under the age of 14 years. The protective enterprise. my friends upon the other side. which depends for its success upon the employment of little children whose lips have not yet forgotten the taste of their mothers milk is a crime against humanity. is a blot upon your Republican civilization.
