Speaker. I realize that this country has vast uncultivated fields. wonderful natural resources. and boundless undeveloped wealth. that we could with proper laws for the protection of American labor double our population and thereby enjoy greater prosperitv. But. sir. the barriers of protection have been torn own. the doors to immigration have been indiscriminately left open. until suffering humanity cries for relief. Under the present conditions and unwise laws the laboring masses are graduallybeing driven into idleness. want. and misery. The goldbond brokers and money lenders are stealthily obtaining supremacy and silently directing measures in their interests with heartless energy. while the devil of bankruptcy is gradually absorbing the lifeblood of the business men. and driving the workingmen into idleness and want.
