If the pampered kings of protected monopolies had not gone to foreign countries and imported labor. "scum." if you please. into this country. there would be no such complaints as are now going on. You gentlemen upon the other side are the ones who have fostered classes in this country. You have nurtured the men who have brought this objectionable immigration upon us. if we have such. and now you ought to stand up like men and reap what you have sown and not try to cut off the development of the whole country. simply because there are a few cities overcrowded with unworthy immigrants brought here by your tariff barons. If they are criminals. enforce the laws against them. If. as some one has said here. half are in the penitentiary and the other half will not obey the laws. put the other half there also [applause]. but in Gods name. where a man seeks to better his condition by coming to a new country and taking a new start in the race of human progress. do not cut him off and say that he shall not enjoy the same rights and the same privileges that you have enjoyed. [Loud applause.] I reserve the balance of my time.
